Here is an essay I wrote and I am welcome to any critic

"Formal educational credentials should be the most important factor in hiring employees."

In reality, formal educational credentials are pretty important factor for both the employees and employers for many reasons. However, it must also be viewed that there are other essential factors that should be taken in consideration to achieve a great progress in our communities.

The first point I would like to make is that there are huge benefits of basing the hiring of employees upon their credentials. First of all, this is the best way to encourage undergrad students to be motivated to study well and make the greatest effort to have high grades in their schools. Besides, it will build up a high opportunity of challenge among students; consequently, they will do their best to achieve success. This competition between them is training for their work life. Absolutely, employers will get advantages of that. They will grantee to have well-educated and well-qualified apprentices.

Although the tremendous benefits of depending the hiring of employees on their diploma, there are other factors should be followed that. For instance, before hiring an employee, he should pass specific tests to be sure that this person is really qualified for the job. in fact, this is good for emplyers as many graduated students have almost the same grade, so the perfect method to distinguish among them is through taking a test. By this way, the employers may grantee that they hired the best persons. Moreover, it is much more important to notice the monthly progress that those employees have accomplished to be sure that they are the best.

Eventually, it is well documented that not only the educational credentials are the base for hiring, but also the quality of those employees is crucial to achieve a considerable progress in any company.

Hi All,

Here we go with my essay. Please feel free to comment or correct anyone who may think I need help including Toresten and Alan. Much appreciated.

Subject : Our Attitude

Attitudes are reflections of our inner feelings of positive and negative feelings towards others.

Individual’s attitude towards someone or something may varies depend on the situations we are in or developed through early development.

Nevertheless, attitudes can be changed through persuasion. For a example someone who comes from a strongly religious family may develop a very clear set of values about what is right and wrong. That my be shown as a strongly negative attitude towards someone who repeatedly tells lies.

Infact, researchers have found there are few factors that may make attempts to persuade people more or less effective. One of those will be for a example more intelligent people are less persuaded by one sided messages. On the other hand presenting both sides of a story through messages are useful to help change attitudes.

In human behaviour attitudes play huge part in every moment of our life whether it is good or bad. However, how we react to other person’s attitude is very challenging in our society.

I think personally, it’s worth learning about attitude factors to analyse first our own-self and to understand others around us.

Thanks

Hi Abecedarian,
I think this is really a great idea.This really helps people like me a lot because from my childhood I was never good at writing and was really afraid of posting comments at any social networking websites.Or any other websites for that matter.I think this will be a good chance for improving my writing skills and even it will help me in my further english examinations.
thank you,
Pradeep

please do correct me.... even punctuation mistakes.....

sub:- Small Party at My Arun's House
it was feb 15 and i wokeup at 11am. I was late because i had a heavy work last night. I called up my childhood friend Arun to wish him happy birthday, he did not attend my call. so I left to bathroom to brush my teeth then he arrived. My mother told him that I was brushing my teeth. He said," aunty I will come back in 15-20 min and just tell him that I came." After I finished brushing my teeth, I was having sprouts watching Television.Later my mother told me that Arun visited while I was brushing. I called him back and he said that he was in Balaganesh's house and will come in 5 min's.Later he arrived and I wished him happy birthday again, and tried to flatter him for some time and had some fun. While leaving he invited me for a small party at his house.he also told me that he invited bala for this party. So I called bala and asked him to come to my house in the evening so that we both can together attend the party.

Hey dear forum,

This is my first post ever on this site. I stumbled across this site, as I searched for methods to improve my English writing skills. I have already read a lot on this site, and I have to admit that I appreciate the efforts of the teacher, to bring us a little a bit closer to (more or less) fluent English. I thought a lot about the topic of my essay. It should be something that you would like to read, something with tension or something funny. It’s hard to fit the individual needs of you, so I will just write something about the law of attraction. Because I think this topic is great to discuss.
I recently saw a lot of videos on other pages about the law of attraction. The key seems to be very plain. “if you think positive, positive things will happen to you”. Why is it like that? Well, the advocates say, that a positive attitude towards life and especially towards GOALS in your life, will attract positive things. There are a lot of famous “rise from rags to riches” representatives, who do believe in this concept, for instance Will Smith or Chris Gardner. Candidly, so do I. I really believe that we can change our future in the way we want. But we have to trust ourselves and we have to believe in our skills. Maybe I can encourage you to do the things; you’ve ever wanted to do. My personal goal for instance is, to improve my English and to make me degree. I am struggling a lot at this moment, because a lot of people especially my profs. want to see me down, because I’m totally different to all the other students, external as well as internal. There will always be people who want to see you down, or who laugh at you. In these days people are afraid of someone who is different. Someone who still has got dreams. What about you, do you agree to the law of attraction?

So that’s my essay. By the way, I am a 20 years young man, who studies economy. I can’t afford a private teacher or something like that. But it is vital to have a good English knowledge in order to survive in this cold world
I hope someone can correct my mistakes or comment something else about my essay.

Hi Torsten and Alan

I would like you to correct the following text:

My name is Charo, what is the diminutive of the name Rosario. I am 46 years old. I was born in Valencia, Spain and I first met english at school. It was our second language and I have been studying it until high school. Well, not really studying. It was another subject like maths, nature, gym..... and I didn't pay much attention to english. Maybe I never had teachers who estimulate the english learning. The matter is that, once I finished high school, I traveled to Poland and I was there for two months. Was in Poland where, for the fist time in my life, I had to speak in english. Was then when I realized that I had learned a lot of words, a lot of expresions, verb tenses and vocabulary which I was able to order in my mind and expressed myself in english.
I am sure that I mistook a lot ( I made a lot of mistakes), but I am also sure that I finally was able to comunicate with Polish people but in english.

Thanks in advance for your corrections

Regards,
Charo
