Abstract:

Writing Better Essays, now in its second edition, is an authoritative
but accessible guide to writing successful argumentative essays that
combines classical approaches with practical advice tailored to
contemporary students. Designed to be effective either in the
classroom or for independent learning, the book will appeal students
at all levels, ranging from advanced placement to post-graduate, its
detailed explanations of key steps of the writing and editing process
from conception through planning and execution ensuring that students
will be able to create a coherent argumentative essay that features
the classical circular and reiterative structure. The conversational
style and tone of the book serves to give students much-needed
confidence as they approach their writing, as does its extended
explanation of the key skill of paragraphing and its commonsense
advice on punctuation. Students should find that its extensive use of
exercises, its well-chosen examples of good practice, and its emphasis
on imitation makes it an ideal primary or secondary textbook for
courses. Teachers of writing should appreciate the instructor’s guide
at the beginning of the book as well as the consistent emphasis
throughout on the need for students to commit themselves to practice
and revision if they want to write effective argumentative essays.
