Re: Correct my Essey please.

"ma" should be "my."

I should always be capitalized.

.. is not a way to end a sentence.

Sentences start with capital letters.

I broke my leg - not I have broke

"I will never walk again" seems like an overly dramatic ending!

You have a few problems with tense. Either put it all in the past (I packed up, dressed and went... for example)

I realized I had lent it to my best friend.

What are those links thoughout your essay?

Hello Robert, and welcome to the forums.

There is a section here for posting your writing. You can post what you write and ask for input. Please realize that the shorter your essay, the more likely it will be read.

Please do NOT write in all capital letters, however. That will virtually guarantee that no one will read it.

And this is my essay:

[Try to write in English]

Treating English as my second language, I find it difficult to understand some words or sentences.This semester, I got no English classes except one in the tourism college.When I study with those English major students, I feel a little nervous, not because Iâm a foreigner, but because my English ability is far behind theirs ~~them~~.Also I know ~~the only~~ that only studying in class is not enough. I should do more ~~jobs~~ about writing, speaking and listening.

~~So even~~ My English is not good ~~enough~~,but Iâll try my best to express what I think and how I feel in English.
The best way of studying a language is trying to think in that language.

Please tell my where I am wrong in my essay. Many thanks!

*** English is always spelt with a capital letter.

Always put one space after any punctuation.

In its content, it is not at all bad. Keep practicing!

Hi,

You need to rewrite all of this with capital letters and periods.

Hi,

None are correct, because you need to start with a capital letter and end with a period. You would lose marks in an exam or in an essay if you wriote this way.

Apart from that, I would accept all three versions.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

which is one completely true in terms of grammar;
i've been to france or i have been in france ?

Neither is correct, because you have omitted capital letters. Many people on this Forum do not seem to realize that this error will cause them to lose marks in an exam or in an essay.

Best wishes, Clive

Ohh ok thanks.

Hi,

which is one completely true in terms of grammar;
i've been to france or i have been in france ?

Neither is correct, because you have omitted capital letters. Many people on this Forum do not seem to realize that this error will cause them to lose marks in an exam or in an essay.

Other than that, both sentences are correct, but with different focuses. #1 focuses on the trip. #2 focuses on the time spent in France, on France as a location.

Best wishes, Clive

Use capital letters for proper nouns.

Use punctuation.

Pay attention to your tenses and don't switch in the middle of a sentence.

On a related note, perhaps you think that adding more z's to please, a word that has no z in it at all, makes your request more appealing. It has the opposite affect. A courteous "Could you please check my essay" is more likely to get my attention.

(That question is written so badly. Be careful what you learn from this teacher)

Generally, be more organised about your sentences. Make sure you give proper nouns capital letters. I wouldn't say you have answered part 1 or 2 of the question.

I love reading books very much. It is my best hobby. Reading books give us a lot of useful information and it develops our thinking and broadens our outlook. Also, it helps us in our studies. Recently, I joined our school library club. In our club, we read, learn and recite poems and we exchange our opinions about books.

A few days back I made a short report on the works of my favorite writer, Senator Barrack Obama. He was born on August 4, 1961 in Hawaii, America. (I know you just copied that sentence from the internet because of the hyperlink marks. Don't copy like this - it is plagiarism and a very bad habit to get into. It gets students into a lot of trouble)I like his new book 'Audacity of Hope'. In this book he wrote about the war in Iraq, a different brand of politics and about religion. It got to the no1 spot on the New York Times list. It went on sale on Oct 17, 2006, and by the fourth day it had sold about 182,000 copies. After some time he published his seventh print with 860,000 copies and earned even more from this book.
