***NEW*** WRITING PRACTICE EXERCISES!

NOTE: As you prepare for the upcoming Mock and Proficiency examinations on the 27th of July and the 3rd of August; I think these practice exercises will be helpful.

You can bring your writings to me at anytime at the University, for checking. However if you want me to check them during the weekends, you can type them on the computer and send them to me by e-mail to (okemeagwali@yahoo.com). I'll check them and send them back to you by e-mail. Good Luck.
