LESSON 34

34-1 SKILL REVIEW:

Let’s practice to write the sentences in Machine Shorthand, write the sentences as fast
and accurately as you can. Time your speed.

PREVIEW WORDS
communicate - KMUN memorandum- MEM

Business letters are important in transactions. One can communicate too many through
letters. Today businesses prefer full block style in letters and memorandum. In full
blocks style all parts of the letter begin at the left. It is better to type in full blocks style
with block paragraph also.

lot of erasures? That’s okay; you just need to practice more.
