 Let’s Summarize

The machine short hand keyboard does not have all letters of the alphabet

It is also arranged that it permits to write all of the vowels and consonant sounds
through the masterful use of letter combinations to represent these letters which are
missing. The writing of letter combination allows you to keep your fingers close to
home row position for complete control of all speed levels during dictation

vowel E is found the inside key on the right side of the bottom keyand depressed
with the right thumb.

Final N is represented by letter combination PB. Write –N by depressing the cracks

between P and B with the right middle finger.

In writing the words with SES, SIS, and SUS omit the middle vowel and write
double S instead.

I hope you have learned a lot of things! You can now relax but don’t forget all the
information that you have acquired. Let’s see! Answer the Post Test

 Assessment of your Answer

Dear student, if you got scores between 10-15 correctly, excellent! It shows that you
understood and remembered what we have discussed .If you got correct scores between
7-10, very good! You remember most of the things we have discussed. Check those
questions you did not answer correctly and see why you forgot their answers.

If your correct answers were from 6-9 that was good. What you have remembered
were probably the ones close to your heart. I suggest that you read the text again and
try to answer the questions once more.

Finally, if you have a score between 4-8, I suggest that you read the lessons again
and see where you have forgotten some details. After reading the parts where you met
some difficulty, try to answer the test again and see if your score will improve. GOD
BLESS

Thank you for your cooperation; hope to see you when we do the next module.
