Ten questions across the five sprints. Each has exactly one clean version.
Weighted towards 7.3 countability and 7.5 the eight errors — the two that cost the most marks, because they repeat across a whole answer.
Which sentence is correct?
Ten gaps across all five sprints — the same five checks you will make in the exam.
more students take a course online than in a classroom, and the numbers are still rising.
The argument is straightforward: a university that teaches remotely needs far less than one that fills lecture halls, so the cost per student falls. Universities that are at online delivery have used that saving to widen access.
But the picture is not simple. Many students say they enjoy at their own pace, while others report that they are not capable keeping to a schedule without a timetable. Teachers who are used to in a room with thirty people have had to learn a different job.
Staff also complain that the they receive before a term starts is too general to be useful, and that people rarely asked what they need.
In my , the change is permanent, and the sensible question is no longer whether online study works but which subjects it suits.
A paragraph with twelve errors planted in it. Find them, fix them, and name the categories.
Below is a paragraph written by a Band 5 candidate. It contains twelve errors from this chapter — and nothing else. The grammar outside these twelve items is correct, and no word is misspelled.
Nowadays the technology has changed how we work. In my country, many companies are interested about remote working because it reduces their finance costs. According to me, this is a good development. Employees can avoid to travel for two hours every day, and most of people say they enjoy to work from home. However, managers say they receive too many advices about how to run a remote team, and that the informations they are given is often out of date. Some staff are not capable to organise their own day, and a manager cannot make someone to concentrate. The society will have to decide which jobs suit this way of working.
Rewrite the whole paragraph with all twelve errors corrected. Change nothing else — do not improve the style, do not add ideas, do not replace words with more academic ones. Only fix what is wrong.
Then, in the second box, name how many errors you found in each of the five categories.
The whole paragraph, rewritten. Same ideas, same order, twelve fixes.
Five numbers. They should add up to twelve.
Name the error you still make, and turn it into a check you can run in ten seconds.
