>Can a good text book be recommended for 2nd year English majors writing
>(for their 2nd term) that also has a teacher's book. To cover business &
>thesis writing.
Ah no but there were books on such things in the FLTRP bookshop, 3rd Ring
NW corner , Beijing. I think I bought one written by an Australian 'for
Chinese students at Tsinghua' but I didn't bring it with me.
One or two list members teach at BFSU (next door), they could have a look
and get ISBN numbers :-)
I used "Advanced Writing for Juniors" FLTRP 2001, which had lots of styles
of writing, expository , comparison etcetc and samples of good writing.
but no teacher's book.. Juniors, Law/Anthro/English majors. but it didn't
directly offer writing exercises (from memory)
Stephen King's little book, On Writing, is/was available from various
barrows around BJ uni gateways, :-) 8rmb :-)
