Thank you Mr.buxton for helping me out with the first week. I think I had lots of problems because I was new.I am willing to develop my english but I couldn't. I speak ok and writing ok, but I don't think Im getting better. However, I guess I found the right language doctor! I was thinking about staying at home doing nothing, but I just realized its time to do some english practice. Um.. not sure if this is what I said but you said my choice of topic is strong but Im repeating the same setence over and over and the style of the language is very weak. Im not sure what teachers mean by style and language. what type is strong and what type is right.
please please tell me how can I do that and have a great weekend Mr.Buxton.
If you can share you writing with me through google docs., I will take a look at it on Saturday and you can work at it on Sunday. You need to write with specifics and not in general terms - Don't tell me it was 'great' - 'show me' by painting a picture of the scene
e.g."She was angry" could be "She clenched her hands at her sides and gritted her teeth."
Mr. Buxton whenever I try to type in the red box and it doesn't work. It just goes to the next person.
which red box are you talking about J.?
The red box that we are supposed to put our interesting fact for back to school night in.
let me check it out try again in 10mins
Dear Mr. Buxton,
I was wondering If we had to record what we read in our reading logs on the weekends. If you could get back to me as soon as possible, that would be great.
Thanks,
Rehaan
Thank You Mr. Buxton but you set the presentation as a view only so I can't do anything on it.
Mr. Buxton,
Like Jordan I am also not able to edit the powerpoint at all. Whenever I try to type, the text won't change.
Could you make sure that you look into how you shared it with us and change it from Can View to Can Edit.
Thanks!
Kalia
Apologies - I am correcting this now!
