To the purchaser,
I am so happy to be releasing the latest edition (edition II) of "Learn English Paragraph Writing Skills: ESL Paragraph Essentials for International Students".
After receiving some feedback about my first book, "Academic Writing for Graduate Students", released in May 2013, I decided to release a new and improved edition II.
Some of the feedback I received from my ESL students included:
- The tables are not easy to read or well formatted.
- The cover is not very interesting or exciting.
- The writing process could be expanded.
- Formatting could be improved.
- Some errors were also evident.
So what's Changed?
To provide the best possible experience for my ESL students, I have released edition II with:
- Images for some tables that have been inserted into an appendix.
- Additional images have been added for more clarity.
- A new and hopefully inspiring cover and title that people like.
- An expanded English writing process explaining more practically "How to write a paragraph or essay."
- Improved formatting for each of the sections.
- Fixed issues with grammar, spelling, and missing words.
I am always open for feedback and will continue to improve and provide the best practical academic writing skills books for international ESL students.
