WRITING KEYS

A Few Points to Keep in Mind  ( Use this as a check list)

ü      Use connectors to link your ideas logically and correctly. ( see list below )

ü      Use the appropriate style. Avoid contractions (don't/isn't/ hasn't etc)  in formal style.

ü      Use a varied vocabulary.

ü      Pay attention to the punctuation and to capital letters.

ü      Pay attention to the grammar.( For example, check the verbs, singular and plural, 3^rd person singular -s, count and non-count nouns etc. )

ü      Don’t forget to skip a line between the different paragraphs.           

ü      While writing a draft, underline words or expressions you are not sure about.

ü      Rewrite (if necessary) and this time check with your dictionary.

ü      Count the words to see that you have not written less than you have to. Don't write more than you have to.

ü      Write legibly.

ü      NEVER hand in work without re-reading it carefully TWICE!!! (if you have time)
