I Concentrate on Block 1

Visible to anyone in the world

A quiet sunny morning so I am able to have a good couple of hours studying. My son (who I am a carer for)  is on the computer doing his own thing. Thankfully all is calm in the house and in the neighbourhood. The noisy lawnmower nearby has by now stopped.

Online I am still concentrating on Block1. Now I find if I click on "All weeks"  I can have full access to all Block 1, so this is good news! 

I have been able to look over a few sessions and try to grasp what needs to be done. I have already made some notes in my digital note book.
Drinking Coffee at the moment to keep myself alert. Learning lots of important things about sentences, paraphrasing, summarising and so on. This was all missing from my former education at school due to my being disrupted by my mothers illness.

These are all vitally important lessons for writing essays, especially so that I can avoid plagiarism ( which can so easily happen! ) Being able to change sentences around,  and use synonymns to change words, this can help when using other peoples pieces of writing, so that I don't copy it word for word. This is something I really need to learn so taking lots of notes!

I hope to finish reading Block 1 before the start of the term in October.
All this knowledge of sentence structures will be a good grounding, a solid foundation,  to then build upon as the course progresses.
