Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Book and Great Seller!

This book is very good to teach international students different types of writing. Besides, it is a great source for self-education. In this book there are different sections with various topics for reading which are preceded and followed by a good variety of activities. I would recommend this book for those who either want to teach his/her students writing skills or needs some self-practice in writing.

Great for advanced EFL

This is the second year I've used this book with my 10th grade advanced English as a foreign language students here in Mexico. It's a great book for generating classroom discussion, essay assignments, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. The authentic readings are rich with important academic vocabulary, and the paraphrase exercises really help students learn to put ideas in their own words. I highly recommend this book for advanced, mature students at the high school or university level.
