The book provides a wide variety of suitable material for essay work and letter-writing, together with simple instructions on how to go about it.
The subject-matter is so arranged that the student will be able to work systematically at the writing of English over a long period. The teacher, too, will have at his disposal a great number of exercises and topics so that he can keep a close check on the written work of his pupils.
The first chapter presupposes that the student has covered the main difficulties in elementary grammar and has acquired a limited active vocabulary , without actually having had any experience in expressing himself in continuous prose.
