About the book Aimed at late intermediate/early upper intermediate English language students with the main focus on vocabulary building. Word formation is one of the key elements in all English language exams. It is an important component in vocabulary building. By improving your vocabulary you become equipped with the ability to enhance your speaking and writing abilities. Being able to distinguish the parts of speech is essential in the word formation exercises. This will also enable you to begin to recognise sentence patterns - an indispensable requirement when it comes to advancing in your studies. Basic sentence structure is also dealt with in the book. Learn how to form longer sentences correctly. Too many learners are writing in distorted English due to a direct translation from their own language. Begin to become familiar with sentence patterns in order to improve writing and speaking skills. The book also includes plenty of grammar exercises for those of you who like to freshen up on grammar. Continuous revision of the main grammar points is always an excellent idea at any level of English, especially for those of you who do not live in an English speaking country. It is all too easy to forget if you do not practise. Practice makes perfect. About the author Jacqueline Melvin is a certified ESL teacher of English as a foreign language.

The material is right there in front of you. You’ve known yourself for, well, a lifetime—and you finally feel ready to share your story with the world. Yet when it actually comes time to put pen to paper, you find that you’re stumped. Enter Adair Lara: award-winning author, seasoned columnist, beloved writing coach, and the answer to all of your autobiographical quandaries. Naked, Drunk, and Writing is the culmination of Lara’s vast experience as a writer, editor, and teacher. It is packed with insights and advice both practical (“writing workshops you pay for are the best--it’s too easy to quit when you’ve made no investment”) and irreverent (“apply Part A [butt] to Part B [chair]”), answering such important questions as: • How do I know where to start my piece and where to end it? • How do I make myself write when I’m too scared or lazy or busy? • What makes a good pitch letter, and how do I get mine noticed? • I’m ready to publish—now where do I find an agent? • If I show my manuscript to my mother, will I ever be invited to a family gathering again? As thorough and instructive as a personal writing coach (and cheaper, too), Naked, Drunk, and Writing is a must-have if you are an aspiring columnist, essayist, or memoirist—or just a writer who needs a bit of help in getting your story told.
