All written work should be proofread to give it that final polish and professional edge. Businesses, publishers, writers and students are just a few of the people who could be your customers if you learn to proofread to a high standard.
In just a few short months our home-study Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certificate course—with expert personal tuition—teaches you how to proofread and copy edit to a professional level. You’ll brush up on your punctuation, spelling and grammar, learn what to look out for and how to mark up on paper and screen.
You can use your new skills to proofread your own work, in your current job, or add them to your résumé to help you find a new position or gain promotion. But that’s not all. You also learn how to set up as a freelancer and how to find customers so you can work at home for an extra or full-time income potentially earning 25 per hour. Once you have the skills the choice is yours.
The course is ideal for beginners or to use as a refresher. 15-day trial. Request your free course introduction, with no obligation to enroll. Call or click now!

“This is an extremely helpful course both for those starting proofreading and for those who, like me, need to be reminded of everything we have forgotten. Above all, I thoroughly enjoyed that tone of voice of the author—he writes with authority but manages to keep a light touch.”

这是一篇应用文。本文是一篇广告,主要是向人们介绍了关于学习校对和编辑的相关信息以及其带来的好处,呼吁人们报名学习。
【1】词义猜测题。根据第三段中You also learn how to set up as a freelancer and how to find customers so you can work at home for an extra or full-time income potentially earning 25 per hour. 你还会学习如何成为一名自由职业者,如何找到客户,这样你就可以在家里工作,赚取每小时25英镑的额外或全职收入。由可以在家里工作并赚取每小时25英镑的额外或全职收入,可知,根据手册上的介绍,“a freelancer”指的是工作时间灵活的“自由职业者”。故选D项。
