Learning is not something which happens immediately or when you want it to happen! Learning is a slow process. You can make the process faster and more efficient if you study at home. * Doa little every day rather than a lot once a week. * Try to do an exercise first without using the answer key, but don’t be afraid to use the answer key, if you have a problem. + In some exercises there may be more than one correct answer. This is perfectly normal. There is ‘often more than one way to say something. * Before you start working on your own, study the exercises on page 7.
