Críticas

The author has taken a practical, demystifying approach to the subject...The suggested activities throughout are really quite interesting and would make you want to get started on your own writiing...I would certainly recommend this one. (The Lecturer)

Plenty of activities. Sufficient detail. Right level. Recommended by chief examiners. (Mr Wallace, Woodhouse Sixth Form College)

Excellent. George Keith is very good in this regard, with books reflecting his courses and backed up by a writing team of practising teachers. (Mr B Lead, St Wilfrids C of E High School)

...these books would be an invaluable resource for any English Department teaching an 'A' Level sylalbus with language study in it. (The Use of English)

Clearly written, very accessible and at the appropriate level for the course. Written with syllabus requirements in mind. (Ms S A Hawkins, Stockport College of Technology)

...well-written, well-organised, never remotely patronising. Any sane English department will have the original, the new eight (and accompanying tape) as soon as budgets permit...These are patient manuals and the authors have seleted genuinely interesting extracts to inform and illustrate their arguments. (Times Educational Supplement)

Reseña del editor

An examination of four primary modes of writing: to entertain; to persuade; to inform and explain; and to instruct and advise. Each mode is explored in detail. The section on writing to entertain includes an exploration of real film and television scripts, and advice on writing poetry, short stories and novels. The section on writing to persuade introduces students to rhetoric and argument, propaganda, advertising, editorials and election campaigning. In the section on writing to inform, students are invited to discover the techniques used and write their own informative pieces. Finally, in the section on writing to instruct, students are given tips on how to write advice such as "how to pass your driving test". The book is part of the "Living Language" series, which is designed to meet needs in the teaching of A Level English Language and A Level English Language and Literature. The series seeks to provide information, ideas and background theory which can be easily accessed through enjoyable activities and investigations.
