ISE English Skills with Readings
Autor John Langan, Zoe Albrighten Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mar 2020
English Skills with Readings continues to encourage new writers to see writing as a skill that can be learned and a process that must be explored. The four skills, or bases, for effective writing are as follows:
• Unity: Discover a clearly stated point, or topic sentence, and make sure that all other information in the paragraph or essay supports that point.
• Support: Support the points with specific evidence, and plenty of it.
• Coherence: Organize and connect supporting evidence so that paragraphs and essays transition smoothly from one bit of supporting information to the next.
•Sentence skills: Revise and edit so that sentences are error-free for clearer and more effective communication.
The four bases are essential to effective writing, whether it be a narrative paragraph, a cover letter for a job application, or an essay assignment.
The new edition also includes a new and updated focus on information literacy, working with sources and writing research papers, making this a powerful and flexible text for students and instructors alike.
