Improve English Speaking through everyday conversations about an evening at home

I have written a detailed book English conversations for all occasions, to learn English as Foreign Language.

This tutorial Improve English Speaking through everyday conversations about an evening at home has been prepared from my well known book English conversations for all occasions, which I wrote for Indian students to improve everyday conversations..

English Conversations for All Occasions is a unique book of its kind, specially written to help Indian student. A quick look at the titles of the lessons would convince the reader that the book has been prepared by visualizing all types of situational conversations which may confront any man or woman in his daily activities. Whether one converses with his family members or moves about to mix in society, he will not feel tongue-tied for want of appropriate words or expressions. In a post office or barber’s shop, at a hotel or taxi stand, every person who has read this book, will be able to speak in English fluently and with confidence.

The Verma family are spending an evening at home .Mrs.Verma is mending some
clothes, Ranjan is reading a journal, Mr. Verma is reading newspaper , Reena is wearing home dress and has her hair up in rollers.

Vikram Why everyone in the family at home is so quiet? . Didi, why do you put on these curlers at home ? You look awful in the evening at home.

Reena Don’t be rude Viki. These are rollers and not curlers. My hair look nice when I take them off.

Rollers and curlers for hairs of ladies

I have to look smart at my job as a receptionist at Rama’s store. In any case, everyone ought to dress tidily and look attractive . You, Viki, should wipe your face, so that it doesn’t shine so much.
