این کتاب، اصطلاحات انگلیسی رو در قالب صحبت‌های روزمره خانواده‌ باب به صورت داستانی آموزش میده. بعد از پایان هر داستان، تست و جای خالی برای محک زدن وجود داره و هر پنج درس درمیون هم، ریویوی کلی و کراس‌ورد پازل قرار داده که بتونین با تمرین و تکرار، یادگیری و کاربردشون رو ملکه ذهنتون کنین.
اگرچه برای کسی که یکم فیلم و سریال‌بین باشه، اصطلاحات به گوشش آشناست ولی برای کسایی که می‌تونن انگلیسی صحبت کنن و میخوان در ابتدای راه، چهار تا اصطلاح هم بلد باشن کتاب خوبیه.

How amazing to study and teach the book at the same time !!
Good book for a great bunch of idioms but its conversation tracks have a little bit of speaking tips. For example: where is intonation in their talk ??

In this book, we follow Bob’s family through everyday situations, learning practical idioms along the way. These expressions are the same ones you’ll often hear in movies and TV series, which makes them especially useful. The short stories are fun, engaging, and easy to follow, keeping your interest until the very end.

a very useful book love it

Another book I read to prepare to tutor English as a second language. This is a book about American idioms. The entire book consists of written vignettes of Bob and his family using an idiom or two in each exchange. At the end of the stories are descriptions of what the idioms mean. This book includes a CD where the stories are "acted out". This is an interesting way to present the material but unless a person already speaks English well, this is not going to help learn to speak English but would
probably help with the 100 or so American idioms in the book.

a series of family events that starts with Bob getting sacked and leads to the launch of the family baking business with success lying ahead! The book guide you towards the idomis that is being frequently used in the daily common English.

That's a good and informative book but if they've added a separate section combing all the idioms discussed through the book that would a great valuable addition.
