Book Five focuses on air travel, meals and medical matters. It builds upon the student's knowledge of first form verbs by introducing various defective forms (verbs containing one or more weak root letters). The book also extends the student's understanding of cardinal numbers into the thousands and suggests practical applications for their use.

(Page 19) In the fifth book of the series, the key grammar area covered are the first form defective verbs – that is to say those verbs with a weak first, middle or final root letter, or more than one weak root letter – in the past and present tenses as well as the forms of the imperative. (Page 64) Cardinal numbers from 1 to 1000 and beyond are also taught, with practical exercises such as writing out prices in full, using numbers with the four basic mathematical operations, and talking about temperature, what year it is, and one’s age.

(Page 40) Subject areas covered include medical problems, visiting the hospital and arranging doctor’s appointments; dining out in a restaurant; receiving, feeding and entertaining guests at home, and meeting someone at the airport. A variety of passages of text, dialogues, telephone conversations and emails are used to introduce new subject material and, as always, extensive exercises and comprehension activities are included to reinforce the new areas of grammar and vocabulary.

About The Author

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye was born in the city of Ogbomosho in Western Nigeria where I completed my primary and secondary education but have lived abroad for more than forty years. Having brought up two children of his own and watched them flourish under the UK educational system, he has come to recognise just how fortunate they were in having access to modern classrooms, up-to-date textbooks, well-equipped laboratories, state-of-the-art whiteboards, computer suites, libraries, sports facilities and more during their schooling.

The story in his home city could not be in greater contrast, as he saw on a previous visit. The students have a real thirst for learning and the staff are incredibly dedicated to delivering a solid education, but they are terribly hampered by a lack of adequate buildings, classroom furniture, textbooks, science equipment and other basic resources to make their efforts effective.

Dr Imran Hamza Alawiye took it upon himself that when he returned to Britain he should actively campaign on their behalf to lend them a helping hand. For he believes that education is the passport for them to access a first world education while remaining in Nigeria. He immediately contacted some UK schools and was impressed with the response he received. To date, I have personally gathered and shipped over 65,000 donated textbooks, old still-usable science equipment that schools were replacing, as well as books to establish a library. But it became clear to him that his personal efforts were but a drop in the ocean of need.

For this reason, he established the charity Helping Hands for Education (HHE). His wife and other trustees came together to support his humble efforts, initially with the idea of targeting the schools in Ogbomosho, though hopefully expanding further afield in the long term.
