[@cerimite7674]

I am a 72 year old "Savant" in the field of energy and am trying to write a structured set of concepts for a prototype energy system. Since I have been retired from my former career as a laboratory technician that was in the field of analytical chemistry for several years, this give me time that could be possible to accomplish these goals. These goals would be overwhelmingly impossible in a corporate environment. The compilations of the derth organizational structure of everything involved is massive. Learning all of the quantum sciences and the research into the prototype concepts is extremely complex. All of this would be too daunting difficult a task if I was a "normal" person, but all of this is like painting a most beautiful picture of creation. Thus, the refining my writing is important for the final fulfillment of this ultimate challenging dream. Thank you for your help.

[@nimaabdi837]

Realy i liked your lessons and how to explained

[@ibrothebro6864]

I have always disliked the idea of learning from Online Sources or from a Video since it doesn't provide as good enough as a class or Tutor since the Viewer and the (Content) Creator have no proper way of communicting, reviewing or attending to any real issues the viewer may have and while there may be certain videos that focus on the specific subjects that the Viewer needs for help, I never thought it would be of any assistance to the specific or troubling issues I had with writing. However, after watching this video, I have reconsidered many of my methods for writing. I'm used to Improvising and I have never been able to stick to a plan since I start writing during the examination only to think of a better idea than my original plan and end up getting carried away and writing a completely different passage altogether. Thankfully, this video will help me tackle this issue and I hope I can improve enough for my next exam. ............................. I doubt anyone read this whole comment.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

I'm sure you'll be able to improve! Thanks for watching and we're glad you enjoyed the lesson. You also wrote an excellent comment. Great job!

Waw!! Good one!! Yes, it is very necessary to have different wards knowledge, so we can write properly sentences. As lecture has been explained about different requirements of writing as per topic or whom considering to write or reason. Could you add more vedios with different examples. Viewer might get across it easily.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Salim, glad you enjoyed the lesson. We have other writing lessons which you might enjoy: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/free-english-writing-lessons.

[@julianc6551]

I was getting pissed till 8:16 because it applies to all languages but changed my mind after 8:16. Great & useful examples. Thanks. I need to watch your "use of comma" again :)

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

A lot of writing advice applies to all languages, and although there are some cultural/personal differences in what's considered good style, I'd personally say that all of these points are general and not specifically for English. Some people would certainly disagree with me, though!

[@julianc6551]

I find your channel very helpful and useful. Sorry if I used the word "very" but I do appropriate your videos and efforts in educating us. Thanks.
