adopt a serious approach

to the on-line part

Welcome to David's course!

You are a great opportunity. No one university in Rome tests student's

english level and prepare for free course with native language teachers

to improve english knowledge.

Some advices to you:

- try to keep pace with homeworks and module's exercises: if you don't

do the exercises every week, it will be more difficult to work later, above

all if you are student workers (as I am!);

- during the course, do the exercises of the EGU's study guide: if you

are weak in some basic issues, you will re-study them in the unit of the

book.

Good work and best of luck for your professional success....

Sabrina

always check

your writing

how many small mistakes

can you find

?

(there are no grammar mistakes)

as the son dawned over Caracas_,jamesbond was alredy speeding down avenida Bolivar_, the main Boulevard off the venezuelan City_

He thougth about what M had said, beck in london on monday,“_I want them in MI6 befor the Weekend_, than i dont want them back in Venezuela untill june”. typical M_!



Capitalisation: 14 mistakes



Spelling: 8 mistakes



Punctuation: 7 mistakes



Total: 29 mistakes

As the sun dawned over Caracas, James Bond was already speeding down, Avenida Bolivar, the main boulevard of the Venezuelan city.

He thought about what M had said, back in London on Monday, “I want them in MI6 before the weekend, then I don’t want them back in Venezuela until June”. Typical M!

moral of the story…

it’s OK to make these mistakes

in SMS and IM


in SMS and IM

in SMS and IM they

aren’t mistakes


in SMS and IM

but not in serious writing

so check your writing for

capitalisation

spelling

punctuation

before you post it to the forum

then check for

plurals

verb endings

inversion for questions

finally check for

grammar we have studied*
