When a writer edits his/her own work, all four errors in grammar and usage listed above, need to be looked for.
a. Ways to replace overused words. A paragraph sounds clumsy when the same words are used too many times in a sentence/paragraph
b. Problems with verb tenses. It is very important to use the same verb tense throughout your written work.
c. Sentences missing commas and periods. If a sentence does not contain commas and periods, it is confusing and ends up being a jumble of words.
<span>d. Misused or missing capitalization.</span>
Answer:
Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.
Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.
Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.
Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.
If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
what have you learned from reading the text?
hope this helps :)
Answer:
b. They are the most important ideas in a text.
d. They are supported by details.
e. They can be explicitly stated or implied.
The central ideas of a text are those that are most important. The rest of the text is built around these main ideas. Main ideas also tend to be supported by details which expand on their information and claims. Finally, main ideas can be either explicitly stated or implied, without altering their importance and relevance to the text.
