Review: Facile comodo e chiaro - Ottima guida per dare le prime basi per scrivere un tema in inglese,lo consiglio agli italiani che devono competere nei concorsi Review: Good for School - This book got my daughter through English Int 2, and our neighbour's daughter through Geography exams. It is straight forward, with good examples and exercises. It was most effective when we used the exercises to work through past papers, or applied them to revision examples. By the end of two months, doing an exercise each week, we had gone from a fail in the prelims to a grade A in the final exam. The book looks at each stage of writing an essay, starting with the essay plan, then moving from this to an introductory paragraph, and so on. The essay examples show good and poor examples, and also give reassuring advice about length of sentences, paragraphs, and lay-out and development of an essay. Highly recommended, Good work

This should be a standard school textbook.
I failed my English Language O level the first time, completely lost confidence then failed it two more times - sad but true! Even though I am reasonably intelligent. Now many years on I'm doing GCSE English again with a good teacher and this book. I don't remember ever having been taught at Grammar School, in a structured way, how to write essays! It was all a bit hit and miss. I wrote an essay - it was marked and that was all. Oh how I wish I'd have had this book all those years ago my career and life might have been quite different. I will be surely work through this book with my son as he starts secondary education!
