20. I have been shown
how to use words
that fit the
sentence better.
I would say that my
grammar has
improved since I
started at college .
My written work has
improved because my tutor
has helped me make
changes and I learn from
them.
Since coming to college
my spelling and use of
punctuation has
improved dramatically.
