Never has the ability to express yourself
well - in job interviews and presentations as well as
in the writing of letters and reports - been more important.
Teach Yourself Correct English will help you
to improve your ability to express yourself clearly
and correctly in both spoken and written English.
Part One concentrates on the meanings
and functions of words and shows how they fit in and
work within the rules of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Three chapters show you how to avoid common errors and
another chapter gives you words whose meanings are often
confused.
Part Two starts with a discussion of
synonyms and choosing words. There is an analysis of
how English is used in a wide variety of contexts, ranging
from the simple transmission of factual material (including
journalism and advertising) to the sophisticated use
of language in creative writing. There are suggestions
on the styles and techniques of narrative descriptive
and discursive writing, with many examples and extracts
from published writing, and advice on the writing of
essays, summaries and reports.
