Oral Exercises in English Composition
ReUploaded by arcadius 01.06.2015
That English composition in its earliest stages can be better taught by oral than by written exercises is an impression that for some time past has been gaining ground in educational circles. It is hoped, therefore, that an elementary text-book, prepared as this has been on an oral basis, will not be deemed superfluous.
The examples for practice have been printed in a type larger than usual, so that the beginner may have no difficulty in reading them at sight. He will thus be able to give all his attention to doing whatever the heading to the exercise may require him to do, such as supplying omitted words, correcting errors of grammar or order, analysing sentences orally, recasting the form of sentences, substituting equivalent words, etc.
It is of course open to the teacher at any time to have some of these examples worked out by the student at the desk and shown up to him in writing; and this may be advisable at times for the sake of variety, or for purposes of revision after an exercise has been done orally, or for practice in spelling and penmanship.
The student who uses this book must not expect that because we have given two chapters on "Grammatical Rules bearing on Composition" and appended a large number of exercises to each of them, he can be spared the trouble of acquiring some knowledge of English grammar before he begins, especially a knowledge of Accidence, of the uses of the Parts of Speech, and a few leading grammatical principles. We have attempted in this little book to breathe some life into grammar by giving a great deal of practice in its forms and rules, but not to supply the place of a grammatical treatise.
