From the Introduction
In designing our can-do based (action-centred approach) course, we were looking for materials that we could use. However, we couldn't find the right composition materials for the late elementary and intermediate (A2-B1) levels. If there are none, we have to make one! This book was born from such voices from the field.

Multiple model sentences (with audio) show how to write.
Two key points and exercises are provided for each lesson.
(Writing easy-to-understand sentences/using sentence patterns and expressions based on the theme).
