Dear teacher,

I have been practising my writing for the last 20 weeks now and would like to find out where I am at. I wrote a short email and attached it for your review. It would be grateful if you could highlight and correct the mistakes if any for me.

Also provide some feedback on which area of grammar I need more concentration.

Thanks

Please quote the email in the body of your post. Many members are understandably reluctant to open files/documents from unknown sources.

I'm sorry, but I won't open attachments. Too many viruses out there.

You could screenshot the Word doc and attach it to a post here as a jpg. As far as I know, that means the text won't turn up on Google but we will still be able to click on the jpg (which some of us might do) and read your text. However, it isn't very practical as we won't be able to quote and correct your piece on our own screens.

If you are determined to leave your piece as a .docx attachment, then I doubt you will get any assistance.

Can one copy and paste text from Word to the forum?

Yes, but not without allowing the engines to crawl it.

My ignorance of internet vocabulary is so great that I don't know if there is a typo there or not. Whether there is or not, I don't understand it. :oops:

When a search engine looks for something (ie you "Google" it), that search engine sends out "bots" (robots) to "crawl" through the internet looking for the words you're searching for. If the OP wants to post a piece about "The dangers of catching your blouse sleeve on a thorn bush" (joking, by the way), then anyone who searches Google for "blouse and thorn bush" or even just one of those two nouns, will get a hit leading directly to the OP's text. He/she clearly doesn't want that text to be findable.
