Proofreading your writing and eliminating irritating errors can improve your grades.

Proofreading is not easy; it takes time and practice to develop good proofreading skills.

From time to time, we will give you a new piece of writing so that you can check your proofreading skills.

There will be 15 errors in each text. Please print out the pages, mark the errors, and then write the correct answers above them.

When you have finished, check how well you did by clicking the hyperlink at the bottom of the page.
