History in Brief. It will teach you about important events in the history of the United States. You also will find many beautiful pictures of the events and people who shaped that history. This is the first in a series of books to help people learn the English language. Each of our Learner English books will have a different topic that teaches readers about the United States and helps them understand new words. Some words will appear in boldface type. You will find their meanings, or definitions, in a brightly colored box on the same page, along with examples of how to use the word. As in other languages, English has many words that may have two, three, or more meanings. In this book, only the meaning of a word as it is used on that page is listed. If you want to learn other meanings or ways the words in this book can be used, and if you have access to the Internet, free dictionaries are available. All the definitions in this book come from Merriam-Webster’s Learner’s English Dictionary, at
their website www.learnersdictionary.com. There you will find every form and meaning of each word and many examples in sentences. Also, along with this book you may have received a CD. On it is a person reading the entire book. If you listen while you read, you can hear exactly how each word is pronounced when you see it. In addition, the International Phonetic Alphabet spelling is provided to help you say the words. If you are an English teacher, you can use this book as another tool to help your students learn new words and the different ways they are used. If you use the Internet, you can play the entire recording online and pause it wherever you like. You also can find a portable document file (PDF) of the book. We hope you enjoy the features of this book. We plan to provide many more. You can find more information about this book at www.america.gov/ publications/books/learner_english.html. We want your feedback about this book and your suggestions for future titles. Write us at learnerenglish@state.gov. v
