“Here at last we have an English book which will teach every learner something new, and which will not bore the reader to tears. Informed by linguistic thinking and compiled by an A-team of authors, this book provides just the kind of vocabulary that students need for university studies in English.” Professor Stephen Matthews, Professor of Linguistics, School of Humanities, The University of Hong Kong
“This book will certainly be a valuable resource for all tertiary students in Hong Kong. Writing academic English, with its range of specialized vocabulary and distinctive stylistic features, is a challenge, even for very accomplished English speakers. The authors of this book provide a wealth of examples, explained and illustrated in context, to help students gain a command of this register. The book can be used as both a study guide and a reference when writing papers and other kinds of assignments. I heartily congratulate the authors on this timely and innovative book.” Professor Rodney Jones, Acting Head, Department of English Associate Director, Office of Education Development and Gateway Education City University of Hong Kong
