Online Owls
- Online Writing Labs
There are many Online Writing Labs. One of the best is the one created and maintained by Purdue University, in Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.A. For ten years this Internet-based writing lab has been helping ESL (English as a Second Language) students for free. Many of the resources assembled on that site are interactive, and of course are available 24/7 for students' use.
This site, with hundreds of pages, is rich in resources covering grammar, writing and composition, and they include detailed, coherent explanations, online, gradable exercises, and other coverage of a wide range of questions and issues that ESL learners meet at various benchmarks of their English language learning process.
This site can be particularly helpful to Form 6 students preparing for the English HKALE.
I heartily recommend that you acquaint yourself with this site as soon as possible by taking a first step, to wit: click on the link and then spend a long time just navigating through the many realms and territories of English language study that are found at this location.
Hopefully you will devote the time and effort needed just to get an initial sense of what's there, and of what you could, and maybe should, integrate into your personal program of English studies to help you address those specific gaps you already know about in your ability to use English to accomplish diverse, communicatively intensive tasks.
