Dear reader,
Stars is to help improve our students’
progress in English. Simply, it focuses on
extra practice and cumulative revision
for skillful results. Urging the students
to apply grammatical rules in writing
should reinforce their levels in the
language. Hence, our objective would
be accomplished.
