In reply to INESISERN. Hi! It's hard to be consistent with spelling because half my software has the US dictionary!

Thank you very much for the material in this article. It is very useful, especially for people who learn English in the field of art. The information has helped me to create a couple of English lessons for illustrators.
I’m very grateful for this material.

Hi!
I’m enjoying the course so far!
I have a question, for ‘Printout B answers’ you wrote canceled out instead of cancelled out, was there a reason? Is not canceled out more the American version?
Thanks a lot!

If I have this report: “Your work in the marketing department of a food company. Six months ago the company launched a new food product. You have been asked to write a report to your colleagues, analysing the success of the marketing strategy. Your report should describe the reasons for the success or failure of the marketing strategy and should include at least one suggestion of how the marketing of the product could be improved.”
To get 5 for content shall I write besides the introduction one paragraph for marketing strategy/ one for reasons of success and one for conclusion where I will give suggestions? ” reasons for success or failure” makes me think that I should write one paragraph for areas for improvement, but I am not convinced that I see clearly the right way

Comment on The Introduction Paragraph by Andrew Girardin

In reply to silvia59. The overall outline, flow, and concept is good but there are far too many 'high level' words so it actually becomes hard to read. This is something that's hard to include in this course because it's more like 'art' than science. Start with readability (simple) and add a few nice words to show you know them, not because every second word needs to be a home run. Do you know what I mean?

I tried to use your method, can you tell me if I managed?
In the timeless quest for enlightenment, the younger generation can glean invaluable insights from the experiences and wisdom of their elders. This exchange is especially pertinent when exploring the nuanced realms of relationships and finances. As we unravel the profound lessons the older generation offers in these vital aspects of life, a fundamental question emerges: In the intricate tapestry of knowledge, which domain—relationships or financial stability—holds the most transformative wisdom for the evolving cohort?

I’m not completely sure I understand your question 🙂
You can use the ‘some people think’ structure if you want. It’s not bad.

In reply to silvia59. Last time I used write and improve I wasn't impressed. Maybe it's better now but it's not a tool I would ever think about.

Andrew, do you think examinators do not use now their site write and improve, which speeds up the process of grading? When I write there I see that my mark increases with the nr of words

the paragraphs should not explain in the topic sentence of the first paragraph what some people think about one topic; in the other paragraph, what others think about the second topic.?

Is it compulsory to give a cons in one paragraph? Can’t I give in both paragraphs just positive things?
