Common mistakes

I do think after double check my blogg, and some of my classmates bloggs, that we made mistakes because we are always without time. We write faster, and sometimes we don’t read what we wrote. Most of the time, we have a lot of spelling mistakes in our writing. Also we weren’t use or we forgot to use capital letters when we have to.

I realized that we have some problems with words. We don’t know how to use it, or we write always the same words. That is a vocabulary problem, because we need to look in our dictionaries for new words, and not use all the time the same expressions.

Finally, I talked with some friends, and for us is difficult to write, because sometimes we mix ideas and we cannot develop them well.
Also we don’t know how to write one word, so that’s why we use the same expressions, verbs and words.
Now our punctuation is better we have improved in that area, I believe.
We have to still practising our writing, which is the only way to improve our skills.



See you! Bye.

  1. I'm agree with you Fran!
    But also one of the most common mistakes is when we are writing in past an then we write in english :S that happened to me all the time.
    I think that your post it's ok, but i guest that, when you say "So most of the time" is just "Most of the time" check that! :)

    But in general it is all very good and interesting!

    Hugs for you!!

    bye

  2. Hi Fran,

    Following, I will write an edit review of this text (Common mistakes). I promise you, I will try to do my best, doing this edit review as detaild and specefic as I can do.

    In general, the main idea of the text is clear, although there are unfinished clauses which sometimes are unncessary to comprehend the principal concept of a sentence. For example, on the third and last paragraph you started with an unfinished senntence (Finally, I talked with some friends, [?] and for us is difficult to write, because...)which needs to be completed or just eliminate the unfinised clause. In other words you need to make clearer that sentence ( for instance: I talked with some friends about this matter and we agreed with the idea that It is difficult to write in English for us, because ......). As well, you may change the sentence which is closing the first paragraph (Also we weren’t use [?] or we forgot to use capital letters when we have to.). There is another unfinished idea.

    Other important points are ralated to spelling and inappropriate or confusing expressions. In terms of spelling, it seemed to me that the word blogg is misspelled,it sould be "blog". According to inappropiate or confising expressions, there were some words that should be replaced for other ones. For example, instead of "look in uor dictionaries" I would write "look up for new words or expressions". Another example is the word "also" which is used after of a personal pronoun and not at the beginning a sentence without a personal pronoun.Therefore, it should be subtituted by another proper word or expression as moreover, in addition,furthermore, besides, as well or apart from.

    Ultimately, there are some punctuation mistakes that you should fix at the time when you should have been reviewing your text.

    take care, good luck, and regards

    Alex.

    P.S.: I agree with you when you said that due to the lack of time we cannot do our best, in terms of reviewing our writings.
