[QUOTE=zainab zafar;467433]what do u suggest sir..?? oxford or exploring the world...??[/QUOTE]

You may have a look at both books and then decide which to use. You may also consult both of these books. However, I personally consulted Exploring...

[QUOTE=mhamzas;467302]My friend your argument that it is written by a native English speaker is completely absurd. Just because he is a native does not mean he has mastery over the language. I personally like 'Exploring the World of English', it is really good and written by a true expert on English (Sayyid Saadat Ali Shah).[/QUOTE]

well i see the reason behind your supporting EWE.....so you mean that natives are not necessarily to be the experts at their mother tongue...That's correct, no one can have perfect prowess even at his home skill BUT my dear friend your calling the author of EWE best as compared to Mc Mordie is abstruse...as if Mc Mordie is not expert at his mother tongue then at least relatively he is better then saadat ali shah....got it...

Of course.. market is replete with good books..

And First i would suggest you to go through Exploring.....book then study
The oxfords book .... as these two books are considered good ones..

Mc Mordie's book is a safer choice but it is very [B]lengthy[/B]. However, if you can take time out for it then go for it.
