[@roayasaaida3851]

because people prefer listening more than reading

So HELPFUL OMG Tips for writing: 1. Avoid contractions 2. Avoid there is/there are (sentence become stronger to the point) 3.Avoid really, very, a lot, so (weakens writing) Use “many” or “much” ex:Much of the time is wasted 4. Have subject, verb, object 5.Use strong verbs When you see verb and noun (try to use verb) Example 1 : he gave assistance -> He assisted Ex 2: made an objection -> He objected (Does the noun have verb form?)

[@ctoe5028]

When you use a good mix of short and long sentences, it makes your writing interesting

[@0Raik]

In my experience teachers are sadist f*cks that don't get along with students (even if you think you do, they experts in faking a smile). None of them is consistent so you need to learn each one as like a new cat. Always listen to others who had a previous teacher and their warnings. Teachers don't change, YOU change.

[@lovettuduebor1902]

[@PoorDog69]

Thank you. This makes sense. I want to share my writing skill. Someone reply to me any mistakes and give me a rating. Don't use emotion. Use logic. Mark's about to be attacked by a great white. Jack tries throw a rock at the great whites nose to avoid Mark, but failed. Jack tries it second time and hits the great whites nose, but there's a strange difference. The great white does not quit. "Jack!" Mark shouted. "Grab the harpoon! It's right behind you!" Jack takes the harpoon with a grunt. "Throw it to the great white!" He shouted. "I can't!" Jack replied. "Why not?"Mark asked. "It's too heavy!" Jack replied. "Just throw it Jack!" Mark screamed. "This great white is about to shred my life!" Jack throws the harpoon with all of his power. The harpoon did not hit the great whites nose, but it's eye. The great white swam away with blood trails in the sea. Mark swam to the shore safely. "Are you ok Mark? Ow," Jack asked in pain. "Yeah I'm ok," Mark replied. "My arm is sore," said Jack. "Well. It was worth to save a friends life," said Mark. "Yeah,"Jack replied.

[@doraemonandchibi]

There are some quibbles: First of all, your sentences are a teeny bit jittery, they don't have a a constant flow. Try writing sentences of various lengths with a greater use of punctuation ( a coma, dash, semicolon, a pause etc.) "Jack tries throw a rock at the great whites nose to avoid Mark, but failed" Okay..um, what do you mean by "avoid"? Also, since you are narrating the incident in real-time, use present tense Rephrasing the sentence, a better way to write this would be: "Jack hurls a rock at the Great White's nose to free Mark from it's clutches, but fails in the process" Always shift the paragraph when you use a new line of dialogue, I can almost see my English teacher pulling her hair out in agony xD And keep in mind that rich words are essential to a good writing. Instead of using "Throw", use "Hurled" Likewise, use "Moaned" instead of "Asked" and so on. (Though this might depend on the context) ------ All in all, it's good, you'll get there. You have the potential 3.5/5
