Good book for English componsition 1 / 2? - SweetsugarNL - 08-04-2020
Im wondering if there are good books to use for English componstion 1 and 2. It is very expensive to print all the course stuff. Im not able to buy a cheap textbook from Amazon.

Are you wanting to write in it? I dislike screen reading non-fiction PDFs myself but have dealt with it to get through everything. I see that you're working on Sophia; the closest equivalent would probably be to look for books on CLEP English Composition.

Thans you. Yes im working on Sophia. But other "academic writing "books are maybe als helpfull?

Sophia gives you a pretty good idea in regards to exactly what is expected and how to write a paper. If you are having issues simply writing, that would be a different type of book. Suggestions include AP English Literature & Composition for Dummies, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Well, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grammar & Style. These series (Dummies & Idiot's Guide) are quite popular and should be widely available.

Thank you so much. Im from a foreign country so English is not my mothertonque.

I thought so, judging by your username. But you speak English much better than I can speak Dutch, so that's awesome.

I speak Dutch, English, Papiamento, and my native language is Spanish, I just want to finish a Bachelor degree in computer science.
Im been working as IT around 20 years already with no degree only IT certifications I what I and the experience.
I encourage any one here do not give up and continue studying, now we have more options to finished a degree than before.

This in part supports the theory that in the IT arena what you really know and are capable of doing is worth more than "academic status".

Where is Papiamento spoken? I've never heard of it and am curious.
