   You may have noticed that Sunny and I haven't been very active within this group for a while, because I have not been on YWS for a long time. We have now both decided that YWS is no longer for us and we have cleared out our accounts and said our final farewells.
   
   Now we are very fond of this group, and we are both sorry that we have not seen it through to the end, so we want to take this opportunity to apologise to you all for leaving YWS and this group.
   
   Ages ago we wrote up our lessons, and I have decided that instead of them going to waste, I will post the lessons on here for you all to access and use, hopefully, to your advantage. Go ahead and take part in the discussions and assignments at the end of each of the 'lessons'! Perhaps for the assignments you could post your completed ones into the Homework Thread and have someone else in the group to look over it and mark it? That way you're all working together to improve your writing .
   
   
   Here are the available posted lessons, I hope they are of some use to you all:
