ORGANISING PARAGRAPHS
1. Read and analyse the following paragraph.
In recent years all British universities have adopted the semester system.
A semester is a period of time which lasts for half the academic year.
Semester 1, for example, starts in September and finishes in January.
Previously the academic year had been divided into three terms: autumn,
winter and spring. Most courses consist of modules which last for one
semester, and exams are held at the end of each. Britain began using
semesters to make it easier for international students to move from one
country to another.
