Having analysed the most common English errors made in over 600 academic papers written by Chinese undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers, Steve Hart has written an essential, practical guide specifically for the native Chinese speaker on how to write good academic English. English Exposed: Common Mistakes Made by Chinese Speakers is divided into three main sections. The first section examines errors made with verbs, nouns, prepositions, and other grammatical classes of words. The second section focuses on problems of word choice. In addition to helping the reader find the right word, it provides instruction for selecting the right style too. The third section covers a variety of other areas essential for the academic writer, such as using punctuation, adding appropriate references, referring to tables and figures, and selecting among various English date and time phrases. Using English Exposed will allow a writer to produce material where content and ideas—not language mistakes—speak the loudest.

Effective word choice is essential for clear and powerful writing. Enhancing word choice in writing requires a broad vocabulary and skills in selecting specific words that can increase the impact on readers. The more words you know, the better you can express yourself and engage readers in a meaningful way. Expand Vocabulary for Writing: 50 Overused Words and What to Say Instead will help you master many other ways to say overused words, such as big, easy, sad, think, and walk, so that your writing can be more exciting and colorful. The book includes four parts: Parts One and Two list 50 overused adjectives and verbs. Under each of these words (25 adjectives and 25 verbs), there is a list of more vivid ways to say the word, with a definition and an example sentence to demonstrate the usage of the word in a context. Part Three contains 23 worksheets of different types of practice to help you memorize meanings of those vivid words and know how to use them. Part Four assembles all the vocabulary into word tables, which can be used for a quick review.
