spoken and written arguments, quickly and proficiently. With argument
mapping, you will be able to do just that. Best of all, you can apply
argument mapping to all six speaking tasks and both writing tasks. That
means you will spend less time reading about strategies and more time
practicing them.

The Moon and Sixpence [AUDIOBOOK] [UNABRIDGED]
by Somerset Maugham
English | 455 min | 64 kbps | MP3 | 210 MB
The Moon and Sixpence, one of Maugham's best-known and loved novels, is
a fictionalized biography of the artist Paul Gauguin. The stand-in
character for Gauguin is Charles Strickland who deserts his wife and
children to become a painter. In Paris, he is indifferent to the
friendship offered by a fellow artist, Dirk Stroeve; but it is Stroeve
and his wife Blanche who take Strickland in when he falls ill.
Strickland again devastates those around him by running away with
Blanche, who has fallen in love with him. In reality, he has no use for
Blanche except as the model for a painting and upon the painting's
completion, abandons her as well.
Language Complexity as an Evolving Variable (Studies in the Evolution of Language)
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0199545219 | edition 2009 | PDF | 336 pages | 1,4 mb
This book presents a challenge to the widely-held assumption that human
languages are both similar and constant in their degree of complexity.
For a hundred years or more the universal equality of languages has
been a tenet of faith among most anthropologists and linguists. It has
been frequently advanced as a corrective to the idea that some
languages are at a later stage of evolution than others. It also
appears to be an inevitable outcome of one of the central axioms of
generative linguistic theory: that the mental architecture of language
is fixed and is thus identical in all languages and that whereas genes
evolve languages do not. Language Complexity as an Evolving Variable
reopens the debate. Geoffrey Sampson's introductory chapter re-examines
and clarifies the notion and theoretical importance of complexity in
language, linguistics, cognitive science, and evolution. Eighteen
distinguished scholars from all over the world then look at evidence
gleaned from their own research in order to reconsider whether
languages do or do not exhibit the same degrees and kinds of
complexity. They examine data from a wide range of times and places.
They consider the links between linguistic structure and social
complexity and relate their findings to the causes and processes of
language change. Their arguments are frequently controversial and
provocative; their conclusions add up to an important challenge to
conventional ideas about the nature of language. The authors write
readably and accessibly with no recourse to unnecessary jargon. This
fascinating book will appeal to all those interested in the
interrelations between human nature, culture, and language.

Mary Ellen Barrett, "Paragraph Development: A Guide for Students of English As a Second Language"
Prentice Hall College Div | 1981 | ISBN: 0136486185 | 193 pages | PDF | 4,4 MB
Paragraph Development is an integrated guide for high intermediate to
advanced learners of English. It focuses on the physical paragaph as a
basic unit of composition common to most forms of academic, business,
professional, and general-purpose writing. It is designed to be
flexible enough to be used as a writing component in an intensive or
semi-intensive program or as an independent writing course. The book is
based on the theory that if a student is able to write a unified,
coherent paragraph, transferring this skill to full composition writing
will not be difficult. The approach in each chapter is direct and
functional: a model is proVided and graphically explained; then the
student is asked to imitate the model.
