AWA help

[sukumap]

Hi All,

 

I am an international student. I have not studied english as my first language. I struggle a lot with writing because I cannot construct sentences in a right way. Is there any book which would help me to start preparing for AWA from a basic level?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming you want information to improve "Analytical Writing" (AWA?) - a simple Google-search yields a lot of results.

"https://www.google.com/search?q=awa+english+books&safe=active#q=books%20to%20improve%20analytical%20writing%20skills&safe=active"

 

I'm a "soon-to-be-International-Student" who is not a native speaker of the English language. If you rate yourself as very weak, I would suggest you to pick-up books that preps candidates for TOEFL or IELTS. However, based on how you have framed your question/post, I don't think this is the case. Have you already tried out materials meant to train candidates for the Vocab/English skills of competitive exams (like GRE, GMAT)? 

 

One request: When attempting to write in any language, it is always better to "think" in the same language. I'm not a Native English speaker, however, whenever I write (or in this case, type) in English, I also ensure I think in English. If I think in my native language & then attempt to translate it to English and then write/type, I always end-up feeling I've not conveyed what I wanted to convey.

 

If you're already at a Uni, there usually is an English-school - they should be able to provide some pointers to help you. I also assume that there would be an International Student Counsellor that is able to provide more localized-resources to help you out.
