Humorous and easy to understand. Uses examples to show where some students have gone right and wrong and how the articles could be improved further. There are also practical suggestions for terms to use at certain points like giving examples.
Features three main sections:
Introductions - The author discusses the best way to introduce your essay and gives some phrases to use that will give your intro a little bit of punch.
main body - The author covers topics such as using sources to support your argument, spring-boarding off ideas put forward by a source and countering critics. Also covered in this section is the idea of 'sign posting' in other words how to ensure the reader doesn't get lost in your argument by guiding them through it.
conclusions - the author looks at two types of conclusions, when best to use them and gives examples of good/less good conclusions.
I've found this text really useful when writing my essays and is very easy to refer back to during writing. I've found it essential when editing my essays and have noticed an improvement in the quality of my essays and grades since absorbing its content. Definitely recommended.

Good if you like the structure - IMO it will improve your grades
2015年9月24日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This isn't a bad book but there are better books out there. It does have all the right information but I don't think it is presented very well. For example, it begins by telling you how to write your essay before telling you about how to go about getting your information later in the book. This is just my personal opinion and I found it very hard to read. However, this book does work well if it is the structure that works best for you. I've given it 5 stars despite it not being a favourite of mine because I do believe if you use this book your grades will dramatically improve. It's just not my cup of tea!

An amazing book full of some great points that I found much more useful than the text my university set as a writing guide! The first essay I wrote with this improved from a 2:2 to almost a First, I would definitely recommend buying it. I give 4 stars because it was second hand and so not in the world's greatest condition when I received it.

This is the best essay guide by a long way.

I agree with the other reviewers here. I first read this book years ago for help with essays (it took me from a 'C' to an A) and am returning to it now, it's that good.
Don't waste too much time on the other books, this one tells you what you need to know in clear, simple language that won't send you to sleep. It lays it out VERY clearly so you really grasp what he is telling you about writing structure. Will save you hours of work.

Timely book for A levels
2012年1月3日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
My daughter just started A level English Lit and was getting no help from her teacher on how best to write essays. The teacher just said her work needed technical improvement so to re-draft! She struggled though I don't know how she got her A* GCSE. Anyhow found this book and she seems clearer now on where to improve and structure her essays. Time will tell if its paid off in terms of better grades :O)
