Comments: Santi, you are making serious mistakes when it comes to sentence boundaries. Your paragraph was one long sentence. It didn’t even have a period at the end, and therefore I cannot even count it as one sentence. Not separating your work into sentences makes it incredibly difficult to read. Please focus on this for the next assignment.
You also have grammar errors with plurals, verb tenses, and capital letters. You used the new vocabulary correctly. Total: 70%
Dear citizens of my country, I, your President, want to have a dialogue regarding the Hurricane we are facing. We as a country, needs to unite and fortify each other in this extensive disaster. Let us together illuminate the life of the less fortunate and do not isolate from your friends and family. The weather is erratic and I would suggest that everyone avoid long distance travelling.

Respected citizens.
ReplyDeleteAs it is my duty and responsibility as president-elect of your nation, I want to announce that I was recently in dialogue with urban security and health entities so that we all agree and support each other as a nation to help give refuge to those affected by the recent hurricane. Together we will give hope to all those affected if we become aware of the seriousness of this problem. Please, extend that call and make prayer groups, collect food. I am sure that we will soon rebuild the heart of this nation.
I appreciate your attention.

Excellent work Yuly! The only mistake is in this sentence: “Please, extend that call and make prayer groups, collect food.” You put the conjunction “and” in the wrong place. Everything else looks great! You used the vocabulary words correctly as well! Total: 94%

Hi Nilima! Thanks for completing your assignment. You correctly used the words “isolated”, “illuminated” and fortified”. However, you did not use the word “forfeit” correctly, as this is when you give up a competition or a game because you do not have enough members in the game to play with you. “Reminisced” was also not used correctly as this word is only used when we remember good things such as meeting your husband or what it was like when your children were very little. You do not reminisce a natural disaster like a hurricane. Finally, you used “refugee” instead of “refuge”. Adding that extra “e” changes the meaning. A refugee is a person who has lost their home due to war or a natural disaster. You still have at least 3 correct vocabulary words, so you will not lose points on that. As for grammar, you only have one error and it was with capital letters. You wrote “Country” instead of “country”. This is not enough for me to take points off. Well done today! Total: 95%

ReplyDeleteDear self,
Today I went on my first date with the guy I met online. I am so naive. I have integrity about everything I told him. I was not aware of the menace of meeting a stranger. He was not a legitimate guy. I want to delete his memory from my mind and gain a morale from it.

Dear self,
DeleteThe guy I like months ago, found out I like him and I think I was so overt because he asked me out today. I feel that he is integrity guy because he told me about his beautiful feelings and lenient because I was late for appointment, but for a first date he was not legitimate because I had to pay almost the entire bill at the restaurant, so he thoungt I'm naive and I told him we better be friends. I prefer to delete this prince charming off my list.! :(

Comments: Hi Yuly,
Please make sure to post in the correct folder next time. The biggest problem wit this paragraph is that it is only 3 sentences long. Please pay close attention to commas and periods in your next assignment. You also need to work on how to use “overt” and “integrity” in a sentence. The rest of the vocabulary words were used correctly. Total: 96%
