General English and comprehension skills are important parts of the examination syllabi for a wide number of high-level competitive exams. One of these is the civil service examination. There is a separate paper on English in the administrative exams which is why candidates seek proper guidance to brush up on these subjects.

This book is a comprehensive guide for improving writing skills by G. Subba Rao, a retired IAS officer. Covered in an easy-to-follow approach, the book has sections on essay writing, paragraph development and sentence construction. The book, hence, starts at a basic level and works systematically towards building the writing calibre in the reader.

In the section of systemic paragraph construction, many aspects have been discussed such as unity, coherence, coordination, emphasis and development by examples. Under essay writing, the book covers many examples from previous papers to explain an easy step-wise system in developing an essay.

Towards the end, the author has included two chapters to highlight some common errors in writing. These can help readers in reinforcing their abilities; thereby, making sure they prevent these errors in their written English.
