این مجموعه سطح‌بندی شده به درد کسایی که می‌خوان نوشتارشون رو تقویت کنن و اصولی پیش برن، می‌خوره. علاوه بر نوشتار، گرمر و وکب هم به صورت ساده یاد میده و حتی مثال‌هایی هم که میاره قابل فهمن. تمرین‌ها هم اگه از اول راه انجام بدین و پشت گوش نندازین، باعث پیشرفتتون میشه.

Finished at last.
This book is well written with many texts that serve as examples. Mind you, it isn’t for a complete beginners as it requires an instructor to guide the learning process. That being said, I highly recommend it.
It covers grammar, punctuation, and aspects of writing. What I love most about it is that is moves gradually and in order. starting from a simple sentence (subject and verb), explaining types of sentences (dependent and independent sentences+ conjunctions) to building a complete simple paragraph (which its contents are: a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and finaly a conclusion paragraph). Also, at the end of each chapter, there are several topic suggestions for writing in your journal.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
