Synopsis: Words, and the ways we put them together, help us accomplish ordinary tasks and (as our skills improve) some incredible feats: getting a date, making a sale, convincing the boss to try a new idea, changing a law, or solving a long-standing problem. The words we use to read and write can also help us to think more creatively, more deeply, and more effectively. In Real Skills Essentials, I wanted to help you see the value of skills like reading, thinking, and writing. It takes time and attention to learn new words, understand them when you read, and master rules for combining and punctuating them accurately. But in the end, after working for these skills, you will begin to see them working for you. It will be worth the effort.
