The Oxford Guide to Effective Writing and Speaking is the essential guide for everyone who needs to communicate in clear and effective English, both written and spoken. John Seely looks at the key factors to consider in tailoring your material so that you get your message across, such as understanding the demands of particular audiences, subjects, and situations. Clearly organized, the book is arranged in four sections: A Communicating in everyday life - covers a wide range of communications including writing emails to giving presentations and preparing reports. B Getting your message across - focuses on important factors such as the audience, the subject, time, and purpose. C Communication tools - offers advice on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation to ensure that communication is accurate as well as appropriate. D The process of writing - looks at what's involved in writing longer pieces, including planning and drafting, research, summaries, editing, and presentation. Full of practical guidance, this book also includes helpful 'You Try' sections and 'guidelines' to practise and reinforce what you've learnt. The answers to the exercises in the 'You Try' sections can be found at the back of the book. This is the most comprehensive guide to using English for effective communication available; it covers an unrivalled range of situations and requirements, making it ideal for use at work, at school and university, or at home. Review: Good book - was useful for me Review: Excellent book - let down by poor print quality - This is an excellent book, but it's let down by poor print quality in the paperback version. I have three books in this series and for the other two the print quality is perfectly good. For this book, the print is more grey than black and looks more 'digital', as if it's been printed on an old dot matrix printer.

Excellent book - let down by poor print quality
This is an excellent book, but it's let down by poor print quality in the paperback version. I have three books in this series and for the other two the print quality is perfectly good. For this book, the print is more grey than black and looks more 'digital', as if it's been printed on an old dot matrix printer.

Rigidamente strutturato
Mia moglie scrive: libro arrivato come stabilito, con l'adesivo della busta amazon appiccitato sulla copertina anteriore. Con un pò di solvente per etichette l'ho rimosso senza danni. La rilegatura paperback è debolina, presumo che non regga bene ad una lunga consultazione. Il colore delle pagine è bianco grigiastro, probabilmente carta riciclata, non lucida. La stampa è in grigio, non in nero. Come tutte le guide Oxford il contenuto è molto strutturato, ha un sistema rigido di introduzione dei concetti e si attiene alla versione ultraformale della comunicazione. Introduce ogni capitolo con una spiegazione di base sulle ragioni storiche e sulla natura di quel tipo di comunicazione e poi suggerisce passo passo come creare quel tipo di contenuti. Ogni capitolo fa a sé e si può leggere e usare capitolo per capitolo, a seconda delle personali esigenze. Suppongo che prima di poter esprimere la propria personalità in modo efficace, sia importante avere una base solida su cui creare le variazioni.
