# Preface

Finally, it's the last lesson, but it happened to coincide with the 228 holiday. So the final assignment was submitted late, and the final grade hasn't come out yet. Since some courses on Coursera are graded through peer assessment by students. So, in addition to submitting your assignments, you also have to try to modify other people's assignments. This is also one of the most effective methods of learning in my opinion, and it can also deepen learning.

This time, in addition to taking these courses on Coursera, my colleagues also recommended that the company's Hahow enterprise version also has good courses. Here I'll also share my thoughts after finishing them.

English writing relies heavily on constant training. Only by speaking and writing constantly can you maintain a good sense of language and writing habits.

- **Thoughts:**
  - This book has more grammar and fewer practical examples. If your English is not too bad, but you don't know how to express a lot of things.
  - You can use the previous course, and this course can be used for practice.
