Introduction

Page 6: Eng6 lesson 1 part 1 nature of research

The progress and development of mankind has always been the product of man’s innumerable research outputs.

Page 7: Eng6 lesson 1 part 1 nature of research

Man’s curiosity about himself and his environment enables him to think, invent, search and arrive at adequate answers to his problems and to satisfy his needs.

Page 8: Eng6 lesson 1 part 1 nature of research

In his desire to arrive at these answers satisfactorily, he develops various instruments and techniques. And the best tool to help him is RESEARCH.
