We learn to speak and understand our
native language without any great effort, for these are natural aspects
of the maturation of every human being. The skills of reading and
writing, by contrast, have to be learned, usually in an educational
context. Now, when it comes to a foreign language, all the skills
(speaking, un derstanding, reading and writing) have to be learned -
nothing can be acquired without considerable effort. This learning
process does not take place in a vac uum: it is heavily influenced by
our previous experience of acquiring our native language and learning to
read and write it. These facts have been taken as the background to
this book. We aim this book at native speakers of Dutch who have learned
to read and write their own language, and who now wish to add skill in
writing English to their repertoire. Since this is our well-defined
target group, we will be continually pointing to those aspects of
written English which differ from comparable aspects of written Dutch,
while also giving a complete guide to the writing process. There are two
matters concerning the presentation of information in this book that
require clarification in advance. Firstly, the book contains hundreds of
numbered examples.
