Book: Basic English

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah the most beneficent and the most merciful. Let us pray Allah who endlessly has given us strength, faith, and other endless blessings. Let us send peace and blessing to our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who had left us a comprehensive guidance (Hadits) to successfully
pass this perishable life. This book was specifically written to fulfill the need of new students studying at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University (UIN Ar-Raniry), Darussalam – Banda Aceh. As the book was prepared for the whole students and whole departments at this university, the supplemented materials were various and not
specific. The primary objective of the book was to introduce English in general for the students. The book, in addition, has an attempt to encourage students to love English. Therefore, most of adopted materials were funny stories. Besides being fulfilled by funny stories, the book also provided some simple patterns in
English, wise words, and supplementary vocabularies at the end of its section. I hoped that the students would use this book as the source of their happiness to study English in a different way. Although I tried to look at the whole contents of this book several times, I believed that some mistakes were still there. To this end, every constructive criticism was always encouraged. Finally, I would also like to thank all people at the English Language Education Department and all people at the Language Development Center of UIN Ar-Raniry for their great contribution util this book was written on time. May Allah bestow us his blessing at all time.
