From the booklet's Introduction:
Every student, in every country around the world, has something that he or she would like to say. As she attends classes, as she reads the literature, as she pursues her research, all in preparation for an essay which she must write, she develops her own opinions. She wants to learn, but she also wants to speak with a voice of her own.
More and more in this international world, students are required to write in English. But though the hard-working student may be taught to speak English, and to read English, and to write a sentence with correct English grammar, few students are ever taught how to write an essay. Thus, when asked to write an exam question, a term paper, or a job application, in English, many students feel completely unprepared. They have never rendered their thoughts into clear paragraphs in English.
The essay, at first, seems to be something long and complicated; it must be filled with a lot of information and ideas. When the student tries to write the first paragraph, her sentences become long and complicated. The information is not well organized. The ideas are unclear.
And her own opinions are lost. Her own voice does not speak.
This short booklet will enable you to write clear sentences in English. Then we will build a solid paragraph. Finally, we will craft a dynamic essay. Once you can write an essay, you will be able to write a research paper, a thesis, and even a book.
As your skills develop, your voice will become strong and clear.
