  Write Now is a practical writing guide for Korean students whose English education had been composed of mainly reading and listening comprehension and who have difficulty with the English way of writing. It takes a step-by-step approach including sentence, paragraph, and essay composition. The writers have taught English writing for many years in Korea and have been able to tailor the book contents to the needs of Korean students. Many existing writing books seem to be written for native-speaking students, featuring vocabulary which the average Korean student struggles with, and offer limited opportunity for targeted practice. Write Now provides examples, exercises, and activities at varying levels and with understandable vocabulary so that students are not "caught up" with words but can concentrate on writing skills and features abundant exercises in which students can confirm what they have learnt to reinforce their weaknesses.

  Able to be used both a textbook and a self-study guide, Write Now is divided into 5 parts. Unit 1 deals with writing complete sentences, subordinating ideas, and combining sentences. Units 2 and 3 introduce formating, content structure, and the processes of writing paragraphs and essays. Exercises are provided within the text at an easier level so that students can confirm and practice what they have learnt right away, but students who want further practice at a more challenging level can turn to Unit 4 for extension activities. Unit 5 and the appendix cover essential grammar points and punctuation needed for writing accurate sentences.
