Words are neither
effective nor ineffective; they just impart different meanings to the sentences
in which they are used. It is the writer's effective use of words and phrases
that makes sentences effective or ineffective.
The English
language is made up of nearly a million words and phrases. A writer, especially
one whose English is not his or her first language, may face two major problems
in writing: not knowing "enough" words; and not knowing how to choose
the "right" words.
Writing is made up
of words. Effective writing requires having a good stock of vocabulary, as well
as selecting the most suitable words and phrases to express the intended ideas.
There are many
English words and phrases that are frequently confused and misused by ESL
learners. This book provides hundreds of those words and phrases with examples
to show how they should be used correctly.
