  1.       I hope all is going well.  Let me know when you may need some assistance with your database
project, or with your communication skills..  Best regards, Tim
2.  We can improve your working vocabulary by having you look up certain words and use them in sentences.  This will help us work through various issues with parts of speech, articles, prepositions, pronunciation, pronouns, punctuation, etc.
Here are twelve words.  Please look them up and use each in a sentence.  Then we will use these sentences as part of our discussion of context, pronunciation, roots of words, and other communication ideas.
  • accordance n.:    accountancy n.   accountant n.   acquisition n.    adjustment n.
  • administration n.    administrative adj.   adviser (also advisor) n.    agenda n.
  • airline n.    allocate v.   allocation n.
3.  Pronoun Agreement
If you can find the time and patience to do these, our review of the ones you miss will be very helpful. 
Joshua... Please print the
handout first.  Then keep track of your progress on it.  Bring in a record of which ones you missed,  and we will review only those... so that you understand the dynamics of pronoun use.

These exercises were created with Hot Potatoes software. To download the handouts, you must have Adobe Reader on your computer.
