Writing English with style (Paperback, 2)

The reason one writes isn't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say. F. Scott Fitzgerald Entering university can be challenging and confusing for new students as they encounter large first-year classes and demanding independent study responsibilities for the first time. Writing English with style provides essential skills for university success by honing writing, reading, researching and studying competencies. Writing English with style is has been upgraded and expanded, addressing new areas such as listening and note taking skills and the Chicago Manual of Style referencing system. Recognising that understanding sentence construction, paragraph development and essay writing are only as sound as the grammar that is used, an entire chapter is devoted to reviewing and revising those necessary building blocks of communication. Each chapter has been revamped to provide more helpful examples and workable assignments to aid the reader in applying the skills acquired. Writing English with style is aimed at first-year college students, but will be equally valuable to the final year or postgraduate second language speaker.
