    1. I agree John; no one is perfect when it comes to writing and most especially in speaking English. The best way to do better is to just keep practicing. Slowly but surely, you will get there.

  7. The submission of a paper without being properly revised and edited is as idiotic as it is risky. You are basically leading yourself to your own demise. I call this action as a means of "academic suicide". Revising and editing your paper is THE most important step whenever composing an essay mainly because it is one way for your professor to see whether or not you have have fully comprehended all the knowledge he/she has bestowed upon you. Revising and editing your paper stands as the "make-it-or-break-it" point of your grade so it is best to ensure this action is never overlooked.

    As for today's activities, they were really interesting. I cannot remember the last time I have ever been so confused in class. After today's activities, I have realized that even though English is our spoken language, it never ceases to confuse me. However, I am grateful of the new knowledge I have received today.

    There was no greater way to end today than by taking pictures and parting with a smile upon our face. In this case, I am referring to the planning of our class fiesta and our newly founded "Sweater Crew". Great job today you guys! I had a blast! :D

  8. Revising and editing is very important when it comes to writing essays. Revising the essay is a step to double check the errors. By doing this, we also use the step editing. When revising, i am constantly looking for any of my mistakes. When editing, i am changing the errors and improve the mistakes.

    In today's class, it was a very confusing refresher. i had some difficult time on choosing the right answers. However, i was able to understand the activities as we kept doing them.

  10. Revising and Editing are very important when it comes to writing essays. Revising an essay can improve it by finding errors and some sentences that could be rephrased or further improve. Editing as well can small mistakes that are made within your essay that would have made it otherwise informal.

    In class today the activity it was a good refresher . I struggled throughout the activity, but thanks to sheena she helped me alot
