First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hello, I'm a 24 year old Chinese girl.Right now, I work in the hostel; I'm a receptionist. I talk in English everyday, but my only problem is the grammar, and that's why I'm here. Could you guys help me, please?
Sure, OK! There are only a few issues with your writing:
1. Remember to capitalize the beginning of each sentence.
2. Remember to capitalize any use of "I" (I, I'm).
3. It is best to put a space after each punctuation mark (comma, period, etc.)
4. If joining two independent clauses, make sure to either put a semicolon, a comma and a conjunction, or make it two seperate sentences.
An "independent clause" is an idea that can be its own sentence. For example:
Right now, I work in the hostel.
I'm a receptionist.
These are two different ideas, and it is OK to have them as seperate sentences. If you want to combine them, you can use a comma and a "conjunction" (a word that links two ideas together; for example: and, or, but):
Right now, I work in the hostel, and I'm a receptionist.
Or, another way is to use a semicolon.
Right now, I work in the hostel; I'm a receptionist.
Good luck to you!
