The FAQ page is intended to offer good, ordinary advice to people who want to learn English. For this reason the English used here is as simple and direct as possible. The page is not intended to give English teachers material to argue about, and although it comes from Severnvale Academy, U.K. it is only partly intended as an advertisement for our school – if we think other English language schools may do some things better, we say so. But of course we believe that the way we teach English is best – or we would teach it some other way!
