Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

‘My image of the ‘writing’ section in a typical ELT library would be a short, rather dusty, neglected shelf with just a few titles related to either academic writing, exam preparation or perhaps business English. What feels original about this new writing book from Collins is that it contains a wide range of genres with a great variety of personal or work-related writing dealing with different levels of formality and types of audience.’
