It would be useful to have basic word skills to work with the documents. Delete any information not required by selecting and using the Delete key. Remember a hard page break is Ctrl Enter. Use this instead of just continually using the enter key as this can muck up formatting.

Tips for improving handwriting
I often hear people say that they hate their handwriting, or that no one can read it. It is such an important part of communication. Even with email and the internet being a big part of written communication you cannot replace the benefit of a hand written note or message on a card. Not to mention that many workplace forms still need to be filled out manually and it is so important that the writing is clear.
I have used this in my workplace training sessions and learners have enjoyed it and noticed improvements within 10 days of practice. I wanted to get away from all the babyish resources that are just not appropriate to teach adults with.
I hope you enjoy this.
This resource is a powerpoint presentation that shows how to add and subtract time using simple maths rules. It has an example of an easy and more challenging task.
I use this in the workplace with groups of learners when practicing filling out timesheets. They can follow the examples given with answers and then create their own examples to test each other on.
This activity is for learners to get to know more about each other. It can be used as a warmer or ice breaker at the beginning of a lesson.
Hand out the worksheet and have students work in pairs to fill it in. They need to talk to other people in the class to find out anything that they may have in common.
Works well for a speaking activity. Is a lot of fun!
