Writing Feedback / SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES (pros and cons) [2]
Some thoughts:
- Try not to use 'also' so much (synonyms: too, as well, in addition, additionally, along with, besides). Often the 'also' isn't necessary at all.
- If you use a semicolon (;) make sure there is a subject and a verb for each side of the semicolon (each side must be a complete sentence).
- Numbers (and ordinal numbers), which are expressed in two words, need to be hyphenated (e.g., twenty-first, twenty-one, thirty-three) unless the number is one hundred or larger (e.g., one hundred twenty-one, six hundred thirty, one hundred five).
- Be careful what you capitalize (when in doubt, look it up).
- In general, place commas where you would naturally pause for breath if you were reading your essay aloud.
- You began your essay using the present tense, so try to keep everything in the present tense, unless it is necessary to clarify that something happened in the past or will happen in the future.
