  “True originality consists not in a new manner, but in a new vision.” 
   
  Grab a pen and hone your writing skills under the guidance one of the greatest teachers of the craft. 
   
  Edith Wharton made her claim in the literary world as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature. She is famous for her works of fiction, which include The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, and Ethan Frome. Breaking from this tradition, The Writing of Fiction sets itself apart as a distinctive work of nonfiction, in which Wharton pulls back the curtain to reveal the theories behind a great story. 
   
  The Writing of Fiction delves into the timeless questions of all aspiring writers: 
   
  1. How do I find inspiration? 
  2. How do I turn thoughts and ideas into words? 
  3. How do I make my characters seem real? 
  4. How do I write something original when so much has already been written? 
  5. How do I tell a compelling story? 
  Wharton offers advice specific to writing short stories and writing novels. She pulls insights from other great writers along the way and concludes with an in-depth analysis of French novelist Marcel Proust. 
   
  The Writing of Fiction is a chance to mingle with renowned writers and find your own voice. Consider it Wharton’s personal invitation to discover your own potential and jump-start your creative process.

  We broke our new series on learning Filipino [Tagalog] down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Filipino [Tagalog]. 
  In Unit 1 you will hear Filipino [Tagalog] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Filipino [Tagalog] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Filipino [Tagalog]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Filipino [Tagalog] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Filipino [Tagalog], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
  Topics covered in this book: 
  1. Asking about family 
  2. Asking about relationship status 
  3. Expressing frequency 
  4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies 
  5. Using quantifiers/determiners

  The One-Idea Rule - An Efficient...

  After a thirty-year career as a writer, instructor, and editor, Mark Rennella has crafted a battle-tested method to help students and young professionals who want to improve their writing: the One-Idea Rule, anchored on the assertion that every component of a successful piece of writing should express only one idea. 
   
   
   
  With The One-Idea Rule, writers embarking on their adult lives and professional journeys will have a reliable methodology they can easily remember and count on for all of their writing tasks, as well as increased confidence about the cogency of their writing and its potential for impact in the public sphere. 
   
   
   
  Most advice about writing looks like a long laundry list of dos and don'ts. For those already accomplished as writers, these lists can be a helpful addition to an already-developed communication style. But for teens starting college and young professionals entering the workforce, it can be challenging to wield such complex advice to tackle increasingly demanding writing assignments. 
   
   
   
  The One-Idea Rule is a writing primer aligned and empathetic with any young writer's needs.

  Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Spanish for pre-intermediate_Part 02 by Audioacademyeu. The course is deigned for  slightly advanced learners who have already studied Spanish for one or two years and have mastered the basics.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. Because of its size, the course is divided into two parts. You are now reading the introduction to its second part. In total, you will find 3000 words and practice sentences in this course.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Spanish, in track one you hear the  Spanish word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Spanish twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Spanish (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress.

For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen.
