The Guardian Year 1995 ("Guardian" books) - Tapa blanda

Writing good essays can be a real challenge.  If you need a helping hand (or simply want to improve your technique) this book sets out proven approaches and techniques which can help everyone write good essays.

Extensively revised and updated, this 4th edition includes new material such as:

• A comparison of essay writing to exam writing
• The use of academic language, vocabulary and register, and its 'accuracy and appropriateness'
