Focus: Grammar boost

Lesson 1: How to use the letter 's' correctly

Lesson 2: How to use 'there's - it's - its' and 'there are - they're - their' correctly

Doubt about grammatical structures can decrease your confidence to speak English.

So, let's remove all confusion about these basic grammar topics.

Watch the two video lessons and do the exercises in each video two or three times.

When you hear a good example sentence, stop the video and write it down.

Focus: Dictation

Let's end the week with a dictation to see how well you hear the structures you've activated this week.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the ZIP file.
2. Listen to the complete Audio once without looking at the PDF transcript.
3. Start the Audio again.
4. Listen to each sentence two or three times, stop the recording, and write down the sentence.
5. Move on to the next sentence.
6. When you've written the whole text down, compare your script with the PDF transcript.

When you feel you've fully mastered the material in the two video lessons, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.

Congratulations! You've completed Week 1 of your studies!

Continue revising this week's lessons by reading your notes and listening to your audio downloads.

If there's a lesson that you don't feel confident about, plan to revise it fully before you start Week 2 of your studies.
