This is a great book designed to give international students that are studying for university entrance exams for Japanese universities the secrets of essay writing, with a dual goal — the essay section of university entrance exams and the writing section of the EJU.

The book takes you through everything you need, from basic essay forms and methods to deepen your argument right the way through to frequently appearing themes and fundamental pointers to write the best possible essays. All throughout the 5 main sections of the book and the 4 or 5 “steps”, or lessons, of each section, the book is packed full of great advice on how to develop and expand on your written answers to questions and how to deepen your arguments, giving concise yet insightful explanations supported with reasons.

By using real examples of questions that have been asked in the past, the book explains in as much detail as possible how to structure your writing, what kind of content to write, what kind of questions will be asked, as well as how the essay will be evaluated.

In the back of the book, there is a collection of past papers. Learners are encouraged to organize their thoughts using idea memos and work on the questions as if they were taking the actual exam.

You can also download an answer key and a vocabulary list with English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean translations.

Highly recommended if you are studying to get into a Japanese university or working towards passing the EJU.
