Eats, Shoots & Leaves (Cutting a Dash)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Reference
by: Lynne Truss

April 05, 2004
This books is far more than its title's amusing amphibology. It's funny, educational and very readable.

I work in software engineering and like many software engineers, I frequent the spelling and grammar checker. I frequent it regularly. In fact, my life would be quite tough without it.

Now in software engineering, there's nothing worse than looking at awful code that doesn't follow anything close to a resemblance of normal engineering standards. It's a surreal feeling that has this offensive nauseousness about it. The frustrations are simply indescribable to anybody who hasn't had the misfortune to work in the industry.

Attention All Shipping

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Reference
by: Charlie Connelly

May 12, 2005
This is a quirky but enjoyable book; Connelly sets himself the challenge of visiting all the areas of the Shipping Forecast that have a land mass within them over a year-long period. In doing so, his experiences are in turn funny, absurd, perceptive and informative. Various tales made me laugh out loud, particularly his experiences on his first port of call, where's he's unexpectedly at a party with a die-hard Liverpool fan who knows nothing about the geography of Liverpool. Some of the places he visits hold no appeal, but others, such as Lundy, are appealing and have whetted my curiosity. A good read, and an illuminating insight into one of radio's most iconic broadcasts.

Focus on Advanced English: C.A.E. (Focus)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Reference
by: Sue O'Connell

January 26, 1999
The book covers thoroughly all CAE activities, including Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Each unit is like an exam in miniature.
The author pays attention to phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, as well as grammar rules and excersises.
Basically, having studied this book from beginnig to end, you get a good idea of what the future exam is like, not to say about practice itself.
