Book Review: Where You May Get it Wrong When Writing English

'Where You May Get it Wrong When Writing English: A Practical Guide for Students, Teachers and Professionals
' by Leon Barkho is the condensed form of many years of experience with a wide variety of errors, presented in an organized manner. As the author puts it, this book is grammar in action. Relying more on grammar usage than grammar theory, it examines a whole lot of instances where English learners make mistakes. Many exercises are included in in this book, making it easy to master the skills, especially of writing in English. Tips on how to identify erroneous instances and pitfalls and ways to correct them make up the bulk of the book.
For example, the book mentions of the need to present ideas in a coherent manner. "It is very important that the ideas you express in any kind of writing are logically linked. Logical sequence is at the center of written communication in various fields of knowledge. Journalists, web writers and academics are required to exhibit a high degree of coherence in the articles, reports, dissertations and books they produce."
A good companion for making good written stuff in English.
