SUMMARY

Module 22 is composed of four lessons. Lesson 1 introduced the new letters of

initial M and final M. Since there is no letter M in the machine shorthand keyboard,

initial M is represented by letter combinations PH while final M is represented by letter

combinations PL. Lesson 2 introduced the consonant compounds: SM, -RM and –MT.

Lesson 3 contains the new set of abbreviations in machine shorthand that’s start letter
M. Lastly, lesson 4 is tackled the word endings MENT which is written by using final –

MT.

ASSESSMENT
