ELEMENTARY WRITING: PHRASES, GRAMMAR PRACTICE & MODEL ANALYSIS

Write clearer messages, emails, and short paragraphs at A1–A2.
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 everyday writing: introductions, requests, invitations, apologies, thanks, plans, giving information, and short descriptions.

• Cohesion & tone: simple linkers (and, but, because, so), time words (first, then, after that), and polite phrases (Could you…? Would you mind…?).

• Grammar in action: clear sentence order, Present Simple/Continuous, Past Simple, be going to / will for plans, there is/are, a/an/the, basic prepositions, and punctuation that keeps meaning clear.

How the book works

• Phrases → copyable frames with easy 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
