| The
aim of this course is to refresh your basic knowledge
of English. You probably studied English many
years ago and now, like the kite string in the
tree, your knowledge has got stuck! In order to
free it you
must follow the red kite string through the different
treehouses. In each house you have a problem to
solve which will free the string. You will visit
a pub, a workshop, do some cooking and visit exotic
places! There
are exercises on different topics and also a test
to help you assess your progress. If you find
the exercises too easy, then go on to the test
right away. When you have passed the test you
will see an animation showing the solution to
the problem! Work your way through the treehouses
until you feel ready to take the final test. When
you have succeeded with the final exam, then you
are ready to tackle English A!
