College Writing Skills with Readings

John Langan has taught reading and writing at Atlantic Cape Com-munity College near Atlantic City, New Jersey, for over twenty-five years. The author of a popular series of college textbooks on both writing and reading, John enjoys the challenge of developing materials that teach skills in an especially clear and lively way. Before teaching,he earned advanced degrees in writing at Rutgers University and in reading at Rowan University. He also spent a year writing fiction that,he says, "is now at the back of a drawer waiting to be discovered and acclaimed posthumously." While in school, he supported himself by working as a truck driver, a machinist, a battery assembler, a hospital attendant, and an apple packer. John now lives with his wife, Judith Nadell, near Philadelphia. In addition to his wife and Philly sports teams, his passions include reading and turning on nonreaders to the pleasure and power of books. Through Townsend Press, his educational publishing company, he has developed the nonprofit "Townsend Library"--a collection of more than thirty new and classic stories that appeal to readers of any age.

读后感

大学时的教材，现在翻来还和新的一样，期间潦草的几笔横线，就是记 忆里写作课留下的痕迹，最近翻看了下大学的书，认真的翻，也许是在追 忆，也许是在追悔，更多的是在追回。  

I began to read this book written by John Langan for American college students and decided to practice writing essay in English everyday. When doing the Review Activities of Chapter 1, I found this interesting topic worth thinking: 7. In your own words, exp...  

我是在卓越网上买的这本书，外研社第六版，特点是厚，这也是国外书的特点，他们喜欢把复杂的东西说的简单，所以往往要费一些口舌。不过只要有毅力把这本书看完，做一下上面的习题，我想收获应该还是很大的
