Again engaging the readers in another test of their progress, it then moves across identities, phobias, emotions and human traits and faults. By this time the book has reached its fifteenth day and readers are sure to experience a better understanding of the nuances involved in the language.

The next fifteen days begins with a pop quiz before moving on to adjectives, modern usage of language, descriptive phrases and words. In addition to a chapter on words changing their meanings and several tests among chapters to test the progress of readers, the guide comes to a close with a 30-day vocabulary test.
