Writing III

Ha. Ha..... I make it. I'm so happy that I overcome this challenge. But if possible, I would practice writing TOFEL topic in winter vacation. So it wouldn't occupy with my precious time to study.

What’s more, when people watch comedies, not only can they enjoy the plots of movies but also appreciate different cultures along with customs. Besides, if they are equipped with different background of different countries, it will help them adapt to different living environment when they travel or study there. Take my cousin for example. She and I went to see the movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. In this movie, Greek are so hospitable that they will prepare a great number of dishes to their customers. When they have family union, everyone will take part in any activities related to their family. Moreover, she traveled to Greece last year. She lived in B&B and the host were very nice and friendly to them. And she thought that it was the coincidence that she proved the statement of movies. From her perspective, with this concept of that cultures, she acquainted Greek’s living styles.
In short, watching comedies I do think are a good approach for people to relax and add much fun in daily life. Consequently, they
will inspire people’s creativity as well as imagination. Besides, like walking dictionary of different countries, they will also supply various information of different countries. Aren’t comedies good means for human being?

Hi, Angel! I hope your vacation is off to a good start. I have been counting through the three grading periods, and I count it this way: Period 1: 7 posts; 2: 19 posts; 3: 13 posts. In this case, I'll drop the first grade and concentrate on the later two. You've written a lot and I am sure your grade will be pretty high, but I do want to read your remarks carefully as I think I'll learn a lot. You seem a very thoughtful and considerate person, and that's very good to find. Not everyone has a kind heart! I do see some grammar things, and so I remind you that you should have been spellchecking (the Firefox browser does this automatically) and grammar checking (MSWord) before posting. I will fix a couple or three posts for you so you can see what kind of errors show up. In this post, I see that the tenses keep changing around. If you have finished something successfully, then it should be "I made it. I'm so happy that I overcame that challenge" ('that' because the time is not here anymore). ...I will practice... Then in the same paragraph you use "So" as the beginning of a fragment; that should be tied to the previous sentence. I also see number problems such as "different backgroundS of different countries" since each country has a different background. . .
There is more .. .
I'll give you an 87 for the 2nd period and an 84 for the 3rd. The average grade is an 85.5; call it an 86. I'll be coming back to read more carefully. Thank you for your insights. Happy holidays!
