SPOKEN ENGLISH COMPANION

SPOKEN ENGLISH COMPANION was written with the purpose of imparting knowledge of English to both Malayalees and non-Malayalees alike. So it does not matter whether you are a Malayalee or not. Anyone can make use of this book to improve their ability in spoken English. The book gives you an insight into how English is to be used on various occasions. For example, the book clearly tells you when to use thanks, thank you, thank you very much etc. Likewise it also shows you the various ways of responding to thanks. Or is it compulsory to respond to thanks? The answer is there in the book. This book stands different from other such books available in the market now.

SPOKEN ENGLISH COMPANION is priced at Rs150. But now it is available at a very low cost to you. I have arranged for you to get this book at Rs70 (no postage). If you want a copy, first send Rs50 by Money Order to STARLIGHT BOOKS, PO: CITY, KANNUR - 670003, KERALA. Then the book will be sent by VPP for Rs20.

[Only 500 copies of the book are now available for reduction sale.]

O.ABOOTTY
O.Abootty, a well-known English language columnist and author, was born in Kannur City, Kannur District, Kerala, India on 13 May 1957 to Acharakath Parakkat Mammu (Thalassery) and Ovinnakath Mariyambi (Kannur). He was educated at MM Uloom UP School (now known as DIS Girls Higher Secondary School), Kannur City and Govt City High School (now known as Govt City Higher Secondary School), Kannur City. After high school study he discontinued his formal education and dedicated most of his time to the study of the English language, especially grammar, with the help of a large number of English language books. It was while he was a pupil in Class VI that he took a great fancy to English. After acquiring a fairly good knowledge of English he started teaching English. For the past 30 years he has been teaching English. Now he teaches English at DIS Arabic College, Kannur.
As a student in Class IX, he started writing articles. His first article was published in the Chandrika Week-end Supplement from Kozhikkode. After leaving school, he started writing articles on various subjects in different periodicals. Later he concentrated on writing only about English. He has written so many columns on English in various periodicals. He is credited with starting the first Question-Answer Column on English in a Malayalam periodical, "Career" from Kollam. He wrote the column in that magazine for more than 15 years, until its publication discontinued. Now he has been writing the same column in another format in Malayalam Manorama Thozhilveethi Weekly for the last two years. His articles on English have been published in some language-oriented magazines from the US and the UK.
He is the first person to introduce recreational linguistics to the Keralites through his columns and books. His books blazed a trail in the branch of recreational English for the Keralites.
He lives in Kannur City with his wife and three children. He has a brother, O. Usman, who was a journalist and once a famous sports-scribe.
