The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

[peggy]

Hi there,


Has anyone bought a copy of the English Creative Writing book from TAS?
Any comments?


Thanks!

Got mine today. I think it is very comprehensive. They do not just show you good phrases but also show how to apply to different compos. But the thing that stands out for me is the writing! It is different from other compp books where I find the writing is bombastic but a bit unnatural. Their writing makes you feel. I don’t know how else to put it.

Will highly recommend it, just maybe not for p1 and p2.

May i know what does TAS stand for?

MLJ,


Thanks! No regrets about my pre-order then. Will get mine on Monday.


Ttlkbs,

TAS stands for The Alternatives Story - they are a tuition centre and I think specializes in English creative writing.

Hi,


I think you must get it from TAS.

Hi,


This book is only available at TAS. I managed to get a copy this afternoon.
What I like best is their mnemonic strategies and misspelt words lists.

Hi,


From what I know, they say they will only sell at TAS but in the future maybe they would carry at other bookstores. However, that is tentative and for now it is only sold at TAS.

For me, I am very amazed that their P1 and P2 students can write so well! I really got a shock :shock: But they said that the book is more suitable for P3 onwards so the P1s/2s chosen for this book are the higher ability kind.

I still bought although my kid only in p2, cos I think I can use it to guide in the right direction and make me know what is possible for a P2.

It is one of the best writing books out there, in my opinion.
