The site is to improve our writing skills,it probably do a good job, there is some site where they explain each type of word. I don't know if i would recommend it because it is kind of to much and i would past my free time on that kind of site or either my friends, but if they need help probably if the site would be more organized.

1. The point of this site is to try to assist students in need of help with their reading, writing, pronunciation, and various other things that they can improve in. 2. This does a fairly good job on guiding students on how to do well in their English. 3. A project that would help students a lot can consist of small speeches that can work on all the fields that are required to do well for the future. 4. I believe that personally it would be much simpler to visit English tutorials at school because it is more hands on and you have the option to directly ask questions to the teacher. -Tyler Patrick
ReplyDelete** And Most of the Site are boring but could be helpful. Kimberly

ReplyDeleteThis site is trying to improve our writing skills; by giving us plenty of sites that may help us learn by some games. It isn’t teaching us anything but it gives us plenty of sites that will help us improve on what we need help. I think that id there would be less information it would be more pleasant. For sure reading improves as well our English but we need help with the base witch is called general writing, skills well why cant they show us the basic instead of giving us full of information, if the site would give us the general information to know it would be more simple. This site would be useful for a witting project, as a response or as inventing a story. I would recommend this site because there is plenty of information and good sources.

josh: the point of this site is to help people learn their punctuation and spelling and grammar so that people can use it to form essays and books or short stories. It works rather well. i would recommend it to others who need lots of help.

The point of this site is to help anyone with their writing skills. Including grammar, vocabulary, general mistakes and more. It's made to improve our writing and do even more. It does the job very well. I think I learned quite a bit like the common mistakes and what I can do to prevent them. This could be helpful for any written assignment really, response or monologues would be the target, though. I think I would recommend this to others because it could really help them improve their writing skills.

DeleteThe point of this site is to help people with their grammer skills, writing skills, vocabulary and many more. This site is good because it helps us improve our grammer and our spelling. In the site they gave us tips to get better in our spelling. These kind of tips to help us can be useful in our everyday life and at school when we right assignments or projects to make them more clear with a good spelling and a good grammer. I would recommend these tips to everybody because they can improve the way people write or prounces words. It is very good because it gives us lots of ressources to help us and they are good source that shows us the good way of writing certain things.
