4.0 out of 5 stars Good 1 Sep 2010
By 448jamie
Format:Paperback
Book is good but really written for school pupils studying for GCSE & A Level. I am about to commence a Masters degree and not having studied for quite a while bought this on the recommendations of other buyers for a quick in sight. Book is useful but quite basic and didn't really meet my requirement, but will certainly meet the requirements of some.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for School 4 April 2012
By Kate Dawson
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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
