A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR



I have written this book because after a thirty five year career teaching students the skills of English expression, I know that writing assignments causes students a lot of stress and anxiety. In my search to discover why essays and assignments were so difficult for so many, I realized that many students did not know how to begin their writing. They had the information but didn't know what to do with it!



It soon became obvious to me that many students had never learnt how to write a proper paragraph. It wasn't their fault. They couldn't write essays because they couldn't write paragraphs. This book is the result of what my students taught me - the best way to teach them. I'm grateful to them for sharing their experiences with me. I hope this book helps you to write better and makes writing essays and assignments a little easier.



Best Wishes
