Hello Aaron

I'm surprised...
There is not enough work here, not even your writing exam. That will give you a 0.
It is so sad to see such a knowledgeable student get failing grades. :(

FW: Assignment



 

Please do Exercises A, B, and C in a reply to this post.

Excercise A:

When I was 17, I wanted to go college, but I hadn't finished high school. I needed one more credit, so I decided to take art history at night school. It was great. I had always liked art - even before I took that course. The teacher was pretty cool. She played classical music in class. I guess that's when I learned to love Mozart. She asked us to write an essay on a famosu artist, so I had left all my art books at work. I only have had a book of van Gogh's letters to his brother, Theo. Also, I had forgotten to buy paper. So for my essay I wrote letters from Theo to Vincent on my mother's fancy writing paper! My teacher loved it. I leave things till the last minute. It often works out!

Exercise B:


When I was 17, I wanted to go college, but I hadn't finished high school. I needed one more credit, so I decided to take art history at night school. It was great.(3) Looking back, I had always liked art - even before I took that course.(4) Anyway looking back to my story, the teacher was pretty cool. She played classical music in class.(1) When I think about it I guess that's when I learned to love Mozart.(5) So anyway, she asked us to write an essay on a famosu artist, so I had left all my art books at work. I only have had a book of van Gogh's letters to his brother, Theo. Also, I had forgotten to buy paper. So for my essay I wrote letters from Theo to Vincent on my mother's fancy writing paper! My teacher loved it.(2) It's no wonder that I leave things till the last minute. It often works out!

Exercise C:

You know what I think? I think that its completely wrong to do things at last minute. What i'm saying is, if the teacher liked it when it was made by the last minute, what if he puts more effort on his homeworks so he could be even better. My feeling is that the teacher may not payed enough attention to his work, it's possible that he's very smart and he could do an excelent job but talking about art, it's not easy to do an excelent job when you do it like that.
What's interesting is that people care less and they get better results, When you care more, you stress yourself and may not get a good job. It's all about relaxing and doing the things in peace.

Last Rule and Tips


Rule 13: Comparative/superlative forms of words

Adjectives have inflections. That is, adjectives change in spelling according to how they are used in a sentence.

 

Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.

 

The simplest form of the adjective is its positive form. When two objects or persons are being compared, the comparative form of the adjective is used. When three or more things are being compared, we use the adjective's superlative form.

 

Examples:    

brave, braver, bravest

happy, happier, happiest 

 

Note:   Words of more than two syllables form the comparative with more and most:

 

beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful.

resonant, more resonant, most resonate

 

Last few reminders

  •         Don't split infinitives (incorrect: "to slowly walk" correct "to walk slowly"
  •         Don't use slang (chirp) or clichés (cold as ice)
  •         Either goes with or; neither goes with nor
  •         When referring to a country, don't use "they" 
    Example: The US is the richest country in the world. 
    They have the highest GNP. (It has the highest GNP.)
