Hello Kate,
ОтветитьУдалитьthanks for completing the survey. Sorry I did not comment on your answers sooner. Do I understand correctly that you think you need to revise most of the listed material? Also, you did not answer the question whether you need more practise in quoting, paraphrasing & summarising. Can you add your answers here?
Yes, it’s better if people revise the materials I mentioned in my post.
