First I could read one page a week))) now I can easily read about 50 pages or more per day

Hello everybody! I bought an electronic version of this book on June 10, 2018 after a thorough search of interesting new products related to the development of English writing skills. I live in Ukraine and only two years I study English. I seriously developed my reading skills and vocabulary. First I could read one page a week))) now I can easily read about 50 pages or more per day, please note that two years ago I knew no more than 100 words in English. In the meantime, my writing skills are close to zero, and I firmly decided to develop them to some level of landed level. I have long been looking for a book with practical advice that does not bear an official tone, it is easy to read and turn over in a good sense the perception and atmosphere of learning. I barely stopped after reading this book to write this sincere response immediately. Many thanks to the author. I apologize for the grammar, I wrote through an interpreter from Russian. I unequivocally recommend this book!

It is a great guide for advanced-writing learners. It really helps if you need to improve your writing.

Just a long essay on grammatical quirks rather than the rules

As a native speaker of English I was looking for a book which would allow me to polish up some of the rules of grammar. This book is not it. At the very least we should have been able to view the contents. If I had been able to view the contents I would not have bought the book.

Accessible and thorough guide to writing for students of English

A book about writing could offer a hostage to fortune, but Advanced Writing Skills for Students of English serves as a useful model of how to go about the execution of writing. Phil Williams follows his own advice, offering clear, typically concise, guidelines that should prove useful for new writers and those seeking to improve their technique. He provides frequent examples of how choices made while writing may be used to serve a variety of purposes, and suggestions for ways of varying style for communicative effect. He also gives consideration to the sometimes implicit implications of these choices, which are not always obvious to students.In the interest of balance, Phil sometimes goes against his advice. Occasionally his choice of word might tax a student’s vocabulary, or undermine the effectiveness of his communication, and he also makes use of over-used words. While the section on phonetics is intended to help with spelling, some of the detail seems tangential to that purpose. In some of the later sections, more detail and examples would have been useful. It is nevertheless a thoroughly useful book which provides an accessible resource for students developing their writing.

Useful for intermediate students

As a teacher of English I bought this with the intention of helping an A Level Science student to polish his English. However, for students educated in Britain who may be bi-lingual this otherwise good book needs to be more direct and interesting with plenty of not too weighty exercises, dealing with style and punctuation, not to mention vocabulary. I realise there is a fine line between simplicity and interest for A Level students who, if they are engaged in three science subjects, will be intelligent but whose English does not match the same level.

Clear, accessible and very useful

This is a fantastic writing guide for students of English, and even those with a passing interest. Expertly and simply written, easy to follow and clear examples. As a well published researcher, this guide has provided me with useful tools to further enhance the impact and effectiveness of my writing. Kudos.
