B. Now read the text and ask and answer the
questions following it.
A table of
contents is an important part of a book. It gives us information about what is
inside a book. It tells us what each of the parts of the book is about. It also
tells us how to go to the page where the part starts. A table of contents is
usually written as 'contents' at the top of the page. The list of the parts is
presented in the order that they appear in the book. The list contains the
titles or the names of the parts. It sometimes mentions the sections as well as
the subsection titles with the chapter/ unit/lesson titles.
It also
includes the foreword or preface, book map, index, and the page numbers.
