内容简介
《成功写作入门》于1979年首次出版,已再版十次,盛销不衰。本书内容丰富,与写作相关的概念和步骤,都佐以具体事例进行清晰明了的讲解。作者熟悉和了解当代大学生,以其为背景的素材,信手拈来。作者引导读者循序渐进地进行学习和练习英语写作。书中大量的学生习作和专家范文相得益彰。每章后的练习和作业都与正文内容相匹配,帮助教师及时检查学生是否掌握了所学内容。
传统的大学写作课程、教材或写作手册往往枯燥、生硬、充满了条条框框,令学生望而生畏,本书作者则文笔流畅,语调风趣、幽默,循循善诱,对所讲内容深入浅出,娓娓道来,引人入胜。此外,本书版面设计新颖,精选的图片有助于学生放松心情,活跃思维,激发他们写作的愿望与创作的激情。
