Speech bubbles representing language and communication

Editing a short piece of writing with one focus

Correcting every error at once can be difficult. First check that your idea is clear, then focus on one language point. Give each editing round a specific purpose.

A SHORT EXERCISE

Try it yourself first.

Connect “I like my neighbourhood. It is quiet. There is a park. I walk there.” without changing the meaning. You do not need to add new information.

View the solution or example answer

“I like my neighbourhood because it is quiet. There is a park where I often walk.” is one version. Connections clarify relationships; the longest sentence is not always best.

Your next step.

Read the edited version aloud and note which change makes the meaning clearer. Deliberately reuse just that point in your next piece of writing.
