Two week Trial grammar revision

Here is a game website which I think is very useful for preparation for the next outcome; Writing. If you are shaky with your TE-form; need help with particles etc. please try it. I have registered your names - so just type your name and then the password: tanjun6
I recommend that you try intermediate activities - and try and find the ones that are challenging for you. I will be logging on to check how you have gone.
