FEATURES
- It's not enough to know the right vocabulary - students also have to know which words go together if they want to sound natural. The Oxford 3000 keywords, together with the new the Academic Word List, content area words, Topic Collocation boxes, and the synonym information gives students exactly the right tools to develop the vocabulary that is most relevant to their needs.

There are 11 writing models, showing structure, notes and sample content. There's advice on choosing the right language, how to use language in order to sound more formal, more objective, or to avoid repetition. When students start their own writing, they choose their task type from the list of 15 options for academic and professional use.
