Testimony

"Dear Daily-Update,

Thanks for your excellent book on studying in Canada. I found it of great value as I applied for my course; prepared to leave my country; and ultimately settled in Canada. You dealt with everything I needed to know, yet the book was not long-winded. All in all, the book was incredibly useful and I've so far recommended it to a couple of relatives who were following in my footsteps.

Keep it up!"

Tired of staring at a blank piece of paper?

Writer's block is serious and a heavy burden, but this e-book can help you overcome it!

Writing on Mars & Jupiter
Author: 
Cameron Russell 
Illustrator: Cameron Russell 

 

Format: PDF e-book

Date:
2008

Price: AU$6.95 

>> Read more

This book is ideal for students who have memorized words, but have not yet started to enjoy writing. Each lesson starts with part of a story. Students learn simple writing principles and immediately apply them. The writing exercises are fun and encourage responses of increasing length, expression and assuredness.
The main focus of the book is upon verbs – action and non-action verbs; regular and irregular verbs; and verb tenses – as well as upon descriptive writing (including how non-action verbs can be used to enrich description).
