Posting essays

[ponyo]

Hello! I would like to know if it is possible to post an essay to receive comments and corrections. If yes, in which section of the forum can I do that?
Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, ponyo.

Yes, you can. Post them in this section, but please read the blue warning first.

Forum: Editing & Writing Topics

This forum is for only two things: Your real-life (non-academic) writing needs, or help understanding teachers' comments after you have turned in an essay. We cannot help you review or revise an academic assignment before it is turned in -- your teacher needs to see your work, not ours. Please note that posts cannot be deleted from the writing section. We will not remove texts that have been corrected, so please do not post any personal information in this section, especially in things like letters.

Just to be clear: can I post an essay that I wrote in order to practice for my english certification exame? I did not have an english teacher or attended a course.

Yes, you can do that, but please check your writing for typo errors and others, like capitalizing a proper noun, before you post.

Yes, you can, but there are no guarantees that everything will be corrected- we're volunteers.

You are absolutely right. Sorry for that but I was late for work.

See above. It's more common to use "Sorry about that ...".

It might be helpful to read some of the essays (and the corrections) that have already been posted. In fact, I hope you do.



There is a lot to look at. Hopefully, you will find it entertaining and educational. (Or the other way around.)
