  • 写作能力 (Writing with Power)

    Weak math won’t get you the job, the scholarship, or the college admission you want. Weak English won’t, either.

This challenging course combines a mix of fun and the kind of plain old-fashioned grammar instruction you don’t see in schools anymore. You’ve got to think in this class. There’s homework, too. But if you apply yourself, you’ll come away with much-improved writing skills, and a real, living interest in the workings of the machine that is our English language.
