It helps a lot with writing!
My first impression was that since I encountered this book after having read *Better English* (by a different author), which belongs to the same series, I thought it would be very difficult and require more study than the previous book. This was because the book is much thicker than *Better English*, and the title includes "writing," which can be a daunting subject. However, that preconception changed significantly once I started reading. Regarding the "content," I expected there to be tests
Introduced as a must-read for American college English composition, this book is, quite literally, a guide to writing. In the introduction, it states, “Better Writing is a survival guide for intellectuals who have never grammatically dissected a sentence and never will.” Composed of 12 chapters, the book explains how to use words that are easily confused or misused while writing, aiming to improve understanding. Spanning 371 pages, the book discusses the vast and ever-changing lives of words.
The second protagonist of Neuron Publishing's "Better English" series... T. O'Connor's *Better Writing*! The author is T. O'Connor, the editor-in-chief of The New York Times. While the first book, Norman Lewis's *30 Days to Better English*, focused on vocabulary, this book, as the title suggests, focuses on writing. To think that a book on how to write has been written by the editor-in-chief of a world-renowned newspaper. Even if this fact is merely advertising slogan, isn't it enough to be
This book is from the same series as "Better English," which I saw last time. "Better Writing!!" What exactly is this book about? As the title suggests, it is a book about writing rather than just English. You can really feel that Neuron is putting their heart and soul into publishing this book. If the previous famous series, "Restart English," was for beginners, this series is for intermediate learners and above who want to improve their English even more—those who want to study English
Since the book's list and specific contents can easily be found using the preview features provided by online bookstores, I will skip that part! Instead, I want to talk about my overall impressions of this book and the refreshing change it brought to me. Sometimes, I feel more comfortable expressing what I want to say in writing than in speech. This might be because I am always agonizing over the choices made in that instant—the moment they are spoken, there is no turning back. If this is the
I heard that 13 years have passed since the original title of this book, *Woe is I*, was published, and although the Korean edition—the blue book in the photo above—is no longer available for purchase... hearing that it has already been revised and expanded to its third edition shows just how remarkable it is. I could also sense the author's passion, as they stated they omitted unnecessary details to keep up with the internet age and added new perspectives for better English. 'Woe is I'?? 'Woe
*Better Writing* is the Korean edition of *Woe is I*, a language study book by the famous author and broadcaster Patricia T.O'Conner. In fact, I doubt there are many people in Korea who know Patricia T.O'Conner. I, too, first learned about the author through this book. *Woe is I* is said to be a must-read for English composition courses at American universities. The cover is so simple and clean that, had it not been for the phrase "Korean edition of a foreign book on English composition," one
