3. FOREWORD
This is a revised version of Fundamental English 1 which was
first published in 1971 and was minimally revised in later impressions.
A major revision was made of Unit 5 of Part A in the 1976 impression.
In this new edition, almost every unit of Part B has been revised.
Many vocabulary items have been replaced by new ones which seem
more appropriate.
Students are advised to study this book in accordance with their
achievement in English. Those who are good in English at the M.S. 5
level need not study every page of the book : they may study the
grammatical rules and some examples, do a few Items in the exercises,
and study the grammar of correct usage, which is very useful for some
finer points of English structure. Students are advised not to memorize
all the vocabulary items appearing in Part B; however, words with
high frequency should be given more attention.
The author wishes to express his sincere thanks to his very good
friend and colleague, Dr. Donald A. Leuschel, for his valuable advice
and criticism.

to a certain extent to help students who prefer to do their study inde;.xri
dently and those who cimld not attend classes regularly. Part A laya

Part B deals with vocabulary which most first year university students

fruitful suggestions end criticisms.
