What is a meaningful message title and why is it important? #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 05, 2007 21:29 pm   What is a meaningful message title and why is it important?
 

Once you have created your message, please think about giving it a meaningful title. This is important for a number of reasons:
  • If you give your message a clear title, forum moderators and other forum members are more likely to respond to your request and answer your questions.
  • You will attract more responses because more people will find your message in search engines such as Google.
  • A topic title is like a short summary of your post. This will make it easier for other forum members to navigate through our forum and respond to messages more quickly.
Here are some examples of unhelpful topic titles:

  • help
  • help me
  • please help
  • question
  • query
  • difference
  • explanation
  • expression
  • grammar (or even worse: grammer)
  • why
  • vocabulary question
  • prepositions
  • verbs
  • doubt
  • confusion

Here are some examples of useful and meaningful topic titles:
  • What is the difference between 'sketch in vs. sketch out'?
  • What does this expression mean: 'make do with'?
  • Which tense is better here -- present perfect or simple past?
  • What do you think about online diaries?
  • How can I improve my pronunciation?
  • Have you ever been to an English speaking country?
Many thanks,
Torsten

Dear Sir,
I am awfully sorry. Because I do learn English By myself, so there are something i really don't understand. I found out this website casually while I was trying some information about grammar. I was really Happy for founding out the website that would make me improve my English.
As you know being English student,of course I cannot avoid to have some stupid question and query also. Therefore I hope Sir can sympathize for my mistake.
Obviously, Making some attractive topic will make impression and help to improve our english also. But I think, Just my own opinion. We will succeed If we consider small things though it is not important and because of these things I think It will help a lot of people and something will avoid to be repeated as well.
And another reason I believe that for learning english's people, they will be willing to help people and make them confidence either
Finally I am very happy and blissful I am your student. I hope I will be holp from you so much. I like these sentences 'English bring us closer and closer' and 'Enlish is happy language'
Thanks a lot
