-
unnecessarily complex words and jargon

vague verbs and inane nouns
-

How it works
You’ll be presented with a series of pages. Please read through them and attempt any activities. When you complete an activity, click ‘Check’, and some feedback (and sometimes more content) will be revealed.
Use the ‘previous’ and ‘next’ links to move forward and back through the module. You can visit any page as often as you like.
Each activity is accompanied by possible answers, though sometimes there no is one right answer.
