Editing: Your Own Personal Errors Log
To improve your grammar, you shouldn't try to work on every area at once.
You need a plan. In other words, you need to
l identify the grammar points you wish to improve
l decide the order in which you will study the grammar points

l You can take a "Personal Writing Analysis" to identify the grammar points which cause you the most problems.
Editing: Personal Writing Analysis
The "Personal Writing Analysis" on the next six sections will help you identify specific areas for personal improvement.
