Essay Building Blocks is meant to be a guide to those who wish to write academic essays but have little or no pervious knowledge. The book is user friendly and the tone of instruction is not too formal. The first unit aims to give a
general idea of the format of a typical academic essay. It has many sample texts at sentence, paragraph and essay level. It also has a variety of exercises aimed to guide you through the writing process step by step. The second unit aims to provide
other critical components of a well-written essay. The following units focus on different essay types. At the end of the book, you will find a glossary of the target vocabulary and sample essays for all essay types covered. Our goal was to produce
a book that is easily understood, comprehensive and enjoyable to read with interesting content. We hope that we have achieved this goal and that it will be a practical guide to our readers.
