Reviews

[Mahmoud Ayman · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great simple book for upgrading English vocabulary and improving academic writing.

[Riya ❤️ · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, a pat on my back as I have finally read something that isn't a novel or manga. Secondly, I am impressed, this book delivered everything it promised to deliver. I have always struggled with writing introductions and conclusions for my essays and recently I discovered that the reason for me having a hard time dealing with that part and it came down to me that it was because of me not knowing how to initiate writing them and which "words" to insert. And that's where this book significantly helped me. It has great examples and useful excerpts from academic papers in addition to short exercises for practice. Definitely a recommendation!

Bookshelves are a way for you to organize your books. You can create as many shelves as you like and shelf a book under as many shelves as you like. Shelves are essentially what some people call 'tags'
