Exercise 1
You can enlist the aid of your authors to help you pump up your basic language muscles. As your personal trainers, Drs. Guffey and Loewy provide a three-step workout plan and hundreds of interactive questions to help you brush up on your grammar and mechanics skills. You receive immediate feedback in the warm-up sessions, and when you finish a complete workout, you can take a short test to assess what you learned. These workouts are completely self-taught, which means that you can review them at your own pace and repeat them as often as you need. Your Personal Language Trainer is available at your premium website, www.cengagebrain.com. In addition to pumping up your basic language muscles, you can also use Spell Right! and Speak Right! To improve your spelling and pronunciation skills.
Your Task. Begin using Your Personal Language Trainer to brush up on your basic grammar and mechanics skills by completing one to three workouts per week, or as many as your instructor advises. Be prepared to submit a printout of your "fitness" (completion) certificate when you finish a workout module. If your instructor directs, complete the spelling exercises in Spell Right! and submit a certificate of completion for the spelling final exam.

Subject: Attending the communication class to brush up my communication skills
The purpose of this memo is to give reason, career goal, and a brief description of taking a communication class.
My name is Hannah. I have done my MBA from University of Chicago (Booth) Chicago, IL. The reason for taking this class is to brush up my communication skills that can be of great help in my career. It can temporarily help me to give a start up in my career and achieving my career goals in future. In my work place, it can help me in taking part in activities such as giving presentations, providing trainings, and organizing some awareness programs.
By assessing my communication skills I could draw a few strengths and weakness as follows.
Strengths: I able to make my point clear in a simple and appropriate manner
Weakness: I fail sometimes to read the mind of the other person

Comment:
There is a grammatical error:
For example, I able to make my point clear in a simple and appropriate manner…. should be I am able to make my point clear in a simple and appropriate manner.
