Customer Reviews

Excellent book for teaching English writing ++

This book helps high school and college students improve their writing by providing clear, straightforward, and excellent examples of grammar, punctuation and sentence structures / usage. It has a short but very useful section on the process of writing / drafting an essay (it does not go into in-depth explanations on thesis paragraphs building etc. etc.) I love it and my students love it. I use it for ESL teaching as well as for native speakers developing their writing skills. The book is also well designed, with spacing that makes the text friendly and accessible rather than daunting. The photos are very good - normal people doing normal things, easy for readers to identify with and understand.

condition of the book

it was in great condition and had nothing written on it. just like the they said.

Excellent!

The book, English Essentials, was exactly what I needed for my transitional college English course! It has theory, practice and tests which make it user friendly for both the instructor and the student.
