PUNCTUATION. #1 (permalink) Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:13 am   PUNCTUATION.
 

Good morning everyone. As you are all well aware, I am not a qualified teacher!

Having said that, I have come to realise the vital importance of correct punctuation.

Editing many essays each day has highlighted the way in which correct punctuation can transform a mundane essay into one of excellence.

Nowhere else on the Forum can we see the truth of my words more clearly than in reading the many works of Alan.

Most obviously, he is a very educated person, having taught thousands of students over many years of being a teacher.

I would urge you all to review his writings, in the hope that you will gain great benefit in doing so.

Kitos.

Hi Kitos,
I have objection about part of your words. You may not be a qualified teacher but you are far better than any qualified teacher I ever had in my life. So, I want to ask you to remove this part please: As you are all well aware, I am not a qualified teacher!
By the way, I agree. You are completely right about the fact. Hope people read this topic as well.

Hello Mix, how are you doing nowadays? ... Getting ready for your university entrance I suppose. Good luck with that my friend.
I look forward, as do we all, to hearing how you are finding life in Nottingham.
I guess it will be quite a change from your home-town.
Please give my regards to your parents.
Take care my young friend.

Kitos.

Hi my dear Bill,
Thank you for your care about me, I think it will be much different from where I am living, but I hope that I will like it. Hope someday I make you proud and you tell everyone that someday you learnt me how to speak English. :-)

P.S: I've sent you two emails on the evening, please read them whenever it was possible for you.

I opt to support your motion, my friend. Kitos is a really good teacher. I have seen several of his posts and, even if I was a teacher, I do not think that I will be as good as him!

Now you mention it! Sorry, I did not notice that before. What a shame for me!
For the first time, when I came to this website, I was really unfamiliar with reading and writing. I was thinking that this website is another test-of-English site. Sign up and then answer the questions! But after some researches, I found out that You Kitos, Alan, Torsten, and others are here to help us.
Now, this website is my most favorite English website, and especially this threat is the best of all. It is all because of you Kitos.

I really appreciate your helps and efforts.

-Salivan.
