BE4 January 11th

For today's class, and for the last class on 25th January, we won't do anything new. These are good opportunities for you to ask me questions or to get help with any problems you're having, to revise earlier work, or to catch up. Some suggestions:

  1. Write more posts
  2. Update your LibraryThing collection
  3. Make sure that your sidebar has: a link to your podcast; LibraryThing; Recent Comments; Tags/Labels.
  4. Write comments on other people's blogs
  5. Get together with a friend to check each other's English in some of your posts, especially in your podcast.
If you want to try Number 5, you could use the following checklist:
  • Punctuation: Do you have ONE space after each period and comma, and ZERO spaces before each period and comma?
  • Santangen: Did you remember to add an "s" in expressions like "He goes".
  • Capital letters: Do all your sentences begin with a CAPITAL LETTER? Do people's names and names of places begin with a CAPITAL LETTER? Are there any other CAPITAL LETTERS for no reason?
  • Structure: Is there a subject in each sentence? Do all sentences follow a clear pattern, such as S-V, S-V-O, or S-V-C?
