Proofreading for unnecessary words

Submitted by Stephanie Clark on 3 July 2011.

Students are often reminded to check for spelling, grammar, punctuation and general sense – but not for long-windedness and tautology. A really useful introduction to this tricky topic. Fully mapped to Functional English and adult literacy.
