| 1 month ago I wrote a classwork about the American Dream. I thought that I would get a bad mark which has not been the case. So in generally I was and I still am very happy. But there is one thing which has been bothering me since this time. My "style". I read a lot of books (fantasy, thriller, novels and so on) but my style won't improve and I hate this.... Is there anything which can improve my style? And there is another question I would like to ask you. If the subject of a sentence is "everybody" have I to lead on this sentence with "one" or "his"? Thanks for your help. Ps: Are there any mistakes in my post? |

| There is only one way to improve and that is constant practice. Post your writings in the forum for Writing and Editing and someone will comment. Your question about "everybody" - the pronoun will depend on the context in which you use it, but it is generally regarded as a plural. Can you provide sentences as examples of how you want to use it? |

| Hey Anglika. Thanks for your help. I would like to post more writings in this forum but I do not know about which subjects I could write. Do you have any ideas? On the one hand I could post daily a diary entry. But on the other hand this would be too personal. To my second question. Especially in our last classwork I had a lot of mistakes base on using "one" or "his". I will edit the sentences later on in this post because I am going to eat something right now :>. Thanks for your help Maluues |

| Hi Maluues, just look for words. Economy, environmental pollution, fashion, music, art, holiday etc. You can write anything about a subject depending on what you are interested in. We are practising it in our CAE course. Write down something about 'music' in the next 2 minutes ---> brainstorming. Afterwards we have to write an essay (1 page) about the topic. Regards, Snowcake |
