You are buying this textbook directly from its author, Charlie Dang. Compassionated with the fact that college students are tormented after they fail a series of written tests or university graduation writing proficiency exams, and that a graduate student at San Diego State University kills one professor and wounds three others of his thesis committee with a gun (in 1994) after he fails to defend his Master's Degree thesis the third time, Charlie Dang flees the ruins of his own mind after his daring and fateful trip across the Pacific Ocean on a little fishing boat from his homeland - Vietnam - to give birth to this brainchild, with a desire to help his student peers pass such written tests or university graduation writing proficiency exams with ease and be able to write correctly, creatively, effectively, accurately and consistently regardless of the subjects. Composed with 538 pages of comprehensive English grammar, the book is structured to progress from the most basic step to the most advanced level of comprehension, including practice exercises, essay-writing techniques and tactics, effective writing skills, and sample tests that are almost identical to those being administered on campuses. The English-Vietnamese version of this book will also be soon available on this web site.

A wise and entertaining guide to writing English the proper way by one of the greatest newspaper editors of our time. Harry Evans has edited everything from the urgent files of battlefield reporters to the complex thought processes of Henry Kissinger. He's even been knighted for his services to journalism. In Do I Make Myself Clear?, he brings his indispensable insight to us all in his definite guide to writing well. The right words are oxygen to our ideas, but the digital era, with all of its TTYL, LMK, and WTF, has been cutting off that oxygen flow. The compulsion to be precise has vanished from our culture, and in writing of every kind we see a trend towards more -- more speed and more information but far less clarity. Evans provides practical examples of how editing and rewriting can make for better communication, even in the digital age. Do I Make Myself Clear? is an essential text, and one that will provide every writer an editor at his shoulder.
