N2  - "Around Town gives intermediate and advanced students a stimulating opportunity to learn and practice conversational American English. The book is conveniently divided into 44 different situations, each consisting of four short, informal dialogs. The lines in each dialog are interchangeable so that students may create as many as 256 variations. Following the dialogs are exercises that provide additional practice of some of the more important constructions. The expressions and phrases found in the dialogs are what native speakers would naturally say in those situations. By reading, acting out and practicing the dialogs and exercises, students can easily master these forms of everyday English." (Book Cover)
