| (Not a teacher) Suggested changes are in upper case: I chose the pop and rock band The Beatles as my project topic. I chose a music band because I think they have a greater influence on us than DO OTHER GROUPS, SUCH AS SPORTS FIGURES. I focused on The Beatles because I think they are one of the greatest bands in musical history. I think it isn't just a regular band, because they are trying to deliver a message and OFTEN CRITICIZE ASPECTS OF life through their songs, and that is really interesting TO me. As I start the project I already know that The Beatles have influenced the music we listen to today. For example they INTRODUCED INNOVATIVE recording techniques and were part of THE psychedelic phenomenon in music, WHICH WAS a call for peace and friendship on the one hand, and FOR TOLERANCE of drug USE on the other. When I finish the project I hope I'll find out about their songs' DEEPER meaningS. What did they write about, for whoM, and why? Moreover, I would like to know more about The Beatles' LIVES as they WERE startING their music career. I guess it isn't easy to become A successful band and I am wondering what the Beatles DID and how they actED AS THEY WERE BEGINNING THEIR band. Last edited by Greg Forbes; 23-Nov-2008 at 21:29. |

| I chose the pop and rock band The Beatles as my project topic. I chose a band because I think musicans have a greater influence on people than, for instance, sports stars. I focused on The Beatles because I think they are one of the greatest bands in musical history. I don't think the beatles were just a regular band, because they tried to deliver an important message through their songs, they were vocal about real issues and that is really interesting to me. Upon beginning this project I already know that The Beatles have influenced the music we listen to today. For example they brought innovations in recording techniques and were part of psychedelic phenomenon in music, a call for peace and friendship on the one hand, and influence of drugs on the other (are you trying to say that they were influenced by drugs or that they promoted drugs?). When I finish the project I hope to have found out more about their songs deeper meaning. What they wrote about, for who and why. Moreover I would like to know more about The Beatles' days as they only started their music career (this is also unclear. Can you rephrase it?). I guess it isn't easy to become a band that successful and I am wondering what The Beatles did and how did they acted during the initial period when they started out as a band. These are my suggestions. The underlined sections are unclear to me and need fixing. |

| I would consider removing the idiom "on the one hand..." as it is usually used to present two opposing facts; the two things you are using it to contrast don't make up an opposing pair. Promoting peace and friendship and drugs are two things which I think are quite commonly related. Something like this might be more appropriate: For example, they brought innovations in recording techniques, and were part of the drug influenced psychedelic phenomenon in music through which they called for peace and friendship. The second part only needs a few minor adjustments: Moreover I would like to know more about The Beatles' early days when they first started their music career |
