We understand that it can be difficult for a young student to be able to hone their writing skills as there is no one correct answer. However with this book, it can be easily seen what the elements of great writing are. This book will help students to set themselves goals for their writing and recognise the elements of good writing so that they can continually improve their styles of writing in the academic context.
