INTERMEDIATE WRITING: PHRASES, GRAMMAR PRACTICE & MODEL ANALYSIS

Write clearer emails, reports, and short essays at B1–B2.
Each unit gives you useful phrases, focused grammar practice, a model answer with analysis, and a “Your Task” page to try it yourself. Ideal for self-study or classroom support, with answers.

What you’ll learn

• Practical language for work and study: polite requests, complaints, apologies, updates, progress reports, and short essays.

• Cohesion & tone: signposting, hedging, and formal style so your writing sounds clear, polite, and objective.

• Grammar in action: sentence structure, linking devices, verb patterns, and the small choices (articles, prepositions) that change meaning.

How the book works

• Phrases → copyable frames with clear examples

• Grammar in action → short, targeted practice linked to the task

• Model answer + analysis → why it works (structure, linking, tone)

• Your Task → guided → independent writing

• Answer Key included for fast, independent checking

What’s inside

• 20 topic-based units that cover emails, reports, summaries, describing data, problem–solution, cause–effect, compare–contrast, and opinion/argument writing

• Model emails and short reports/essays with margin notes showing cohesive devices and tone

• Reusable phrasebanks and end-of-unit checklists

Who it’s for

• Intermediate (CEFR B1–B2) adult learners who need English for work or college

• Learners preparing for academic tasks (IELTS-friendly)

• Teachers who want ready-to-use lesson add-ons

Build a reliable phrasebank, understand what makes good writing work, and practise until the structure and style feel natural.
