Th e-book covers a wide range of reading skills, such as decoding questions, drawing out important words and phrases, and understanding aspects of style, voice and tone. It addresses the conventions of certain kinds of written and spoken language, from scripted speeches to travel articles, from memoirs to letters, and looks at how you can capture these conventions and writers’ techniques in your own work. In writing, you will learn how to plan and structure shorter and extended responses, either for specified audiences or for a more general readership. You will learn how to adapt content from one text for a new purpose or context, and to write with originality and flair where appropriate. Most importantly, you will read model or sample responses which will help you evaluate your own work.Part 1 AS Level (Unit 1 - 3)
