This book is designed to help students who are preparing themselves to major in English-related courses at an MA level.
The fifty units in the book thematically present the most frequently asked questions covered in the MA exams from 1379 to 1389.
Each lesson is followed by some quizzes and then questions from
governmental universities and Islamic Azad University respectively.
The format of the book is retained throughout the book for ease of
access and use. Compiled from all the available material available in
the market, the book can be used both as a course book and as a
self-study material.
Like all books, this book is not flawless. Therefore, reporting the
pitfalls to the compiler's email address or the publisher will help
remove them from the next editions of the book.
I really appreciate your comments.

Acknowledgement
This book would have been impossible to write had it not been for the
encouragement of students, friends and colleagues. I should especially
thank a very encouraging colleague, Mr. Parviz Mosalanezhad for the
initial stage of making me believe that I should write something for
students preparing for the MA exam. My dear friends, Mr. Ali Safivand
and Mr. Abdolvahab Khademi helped me write the book especially at the
final stages. Ms. Sahar Rahimi’s help to type the book is also
unforgettable.
I should also thank Ms. Karimzad for making the book possible to turn out in due time.
