Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of English Composition This book is designed for grammar schools and the lower classes in high schools. It may also be profitably used in ungraded schools, and for the private study of those who are desirous of personal improvement in the art of writing. It is complete in its treatment of the practical features that underlie the art of composition. To put complete and connected thoughts upon paper should not be more difficult than to express such thoughts orally. Each form of expression has its difficulties and its advantages. Training in oral speech precedes that in written speech, and, from our greater familiarity with the oral form of expression, it seems the more natural. There is much to be gained, however, from the use of the pen. If the writer fails. To express his thoughts clearly at first, he can change and improve what has been written. The painstaking construction of one's own forms of expression is a chief condition of improvement. A book designed to teach the art of writing must furnish both instruction as to the principles on which good writing is based and exercises adapted to training in the art of speaking and writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of English Composition Of making text-books on English Composition there is no end. The author of the work here offered consulted more than fifty, and might doubtless have consulted as many more. Yet he presents no apology for adding to the list. Some are too complicated to be helpful; others too dogmatic to be trustworthy; still others are highly valuable only as works of reference. Most are addressed either to the elementary student, to the proficient, or to the teacher. Diligent search throughout fourteen years' experience in teaching college freshmen classes has brought to the present author's notice not one book which meets the requirements of the students whom year after year he has faced. They ought not, perhaps, to need review of elementary details, but they do need it. They ought, perhaps, to be able to appreciate the finer matters of style, but they are not. This book seeks to give, in small compass, the information and direction which the average boy or girl of seventeen or eighteen, who has had the average training in composition in the grades and the high schools, needs to supplement and enliven his or her ability to write clear English. It is written as much to interest as to insist, as much to stimulate as to command. It gives few rules, and those simple; many suggestions, and those, it is hoped, clear. If it contains one sentence that needs explanation by a teacher, the author has so far failed of his intention.

Download or read book The Essentials of Composition and Rhetoric Classic Reprint written by A. Howry Espenshade and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Composition and Rhetoric In this book the author has endeavored to present a clear and comprehensible discussion of the essentials of Rhetoric and English Composition, and to furnish the student with suitable constructive and critical exercises. The statement of rhetorical principles as set forth in the text and the exercises placed at the end of each chapter have been the outgrowth of nine years' experience in the teaching of high school and college students. The book is especially designed to furnish a practical course for pupils in the high school and for freshmen in college. Neither the text nor the exercises, it is believed, will be found too difficult for the high school student or too elementary for the average college freshman. Such a course of instruction as is embodied in this book should form part of the training of every young man and woman. In three respects this book is different from most other books on Composition and Rhetoric. First, it is written from the practical rather than the literary point of view. The author has constantly aimed to put himself in the place of the teacher, who must explain the principles of composition so clearly that the average student can understand them, and so convincingly that he cannot help seeing their practical value. The author has not imagined himself to be a literary man addressing a literary audience, nor has he taken it for granted that the students who use this book are going to produce literature.

Download or read book Practical English Composition Classic Reprint written by Carolyn M. Gerrish and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical English Composition It is the purpose of this book to accomplish four things for the student: (1) to give him continually increasing power in original composition; (2) to train him in habits of accuracy in mechanical form (spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.); (3) to develop his interest in good literature; and (4) to stimulate his interest in the affairs of the world in which he lives. From the beginning of the book to the end, students are required to do creative work and are trained to select, arrange, and express ideas so as to make the best use of what they know. The method of teaching is inductive. Models are used in such a way as to encourage and to develop original thought and expression. No blind imitation of models is possible if the method of the book is followed. This requires persistent effort along definitely indicated lines. Beginning with very simple work, the exercises gradually increase in difficulty in both subject matter and technical requirement. The assignments for student practice are varied and very extensive, ranging from the practical to the theoretical, from matters of everyday experience to matters of imagination and fancy. The subjects assigned have been taken almost entirely from lists made out by students when asked to hand in subjects in which they were interested and on which they would like to write. Necessarily, these subjects touch all phases of the lives of young people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced English Grammar and Composition This book has been prepared especially for use in the intermediate and higher schools in the Philippine Islands. It presents a thorough study of the essentials of English Grammar and the elements of English Composition. The book is characterized by its use of the inductive method, the large number of illustrations, the extent and variety of application of each grammatical fact developed, the emphasis placed upon the verb and upon other features of special difficulty to the foreign learner of the language, and the development of the elements of composition with, and based upon, the topics in grammar. Exercises in word formation, also, are a valuable feature of the book, showing the relation of the more important parts of speech and the formation of important groups of words, and greatly aiding the pupil in learning and correctly using an extensive vocabulary. The book consists of three parts: Part I contains a brief review of the parts of speech and the elements of the sentence, with a variety of exercises in composition.

Download or read book Everyday English Composition Classic Reprint written by Emma Miller Bolenius and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday English Composition The object of this book is to improve the speech and the writing of the pupils, to develop their ability to think clearly, and to give them standards of appreciation and criticism. Constant stress laid on habits of thinking and on organization of material tends to make the pupils resourceful and self-reliant. The subject matter is limited to essentials - common matters of everyday speaking and writing. To a large extent the presentation is inductive, and an effort has been made both to vitalize and to humanize the work. Part One emphasizes good form and the manipulation of sentences and simple paragraphs. Part Two applies these tools of language to the most common forms of composition, stressing not only sentences and paragraphs but also matters of construction that apply particularly to the form of composition under consideration. The following are the important features of the book: 1. The assignments are varied in character, including talks, letters, themes, exercises, criticisms, games, dramatizations, and long themes. They are largely selected from the pupils' world and from vocational and community interests, and are adapted to the ability of the pupils. 2. The illustrative matter includes selections from both old and modem classics, and from magazines and newspapers as well as from the work of pupils. These selections also are closely related to the interests of the pupils. 3. Oral composition receives as much attention as written composition. The exercises in organization of ideas, choice of words, manner of speaking, and personal poise furnish valuable training for the pupils.
