For confident English people: How do you link your paragraphs back to your thesis? I don't make my linkings clear enough... can somebody give a eg of their linking sentences

If you send me some drafts you wrote, I can show you. Its better if I can comment based on some drafts you wrote
I guarantee a pretty good editing service, seeing I usually edit like half the grade's work LOL.
Btw, 20/20 in Year 10, is about a 17/20 in Year 11, so don't beat yourself up too hard.

Different standards in English from Year 10 to Year 11, just because.

Though, I won't be able to attend to it until after my trials, which is in Week 3.

I never lost a mark in English in Year 7 - 10, I know the true reality ; - ;
When you lost marks in a subject for the first time in 5eva.

Dayum you aggressive bro, eat some snickers

Also, Sien, if you send me essays and I have never learnt the content, I will only be able to fix structures, vocab, maybe check the techniques you use, rather than actually provide better alternative quotes etc.

I find this impossible to believe, regardless of the school you go to.

I wouldn't even expect this from someone who gets a 98/99 HSC mark in HSC English.

Yeah I never lost a mark in essays! I should be more clear :3 Sorry!

And marking at our school was not as strict, but senior school marking is like PEW PEW PEW QQ

Mate did they make you recite the alphabet for your tests?

Yes ;D

I would say that my standard of essays was pretty good, in terms of junior school

Year 11 is a little disappointing, 17/20, which is meh apparently.

Yeah ofc, the fact that you offered help already made me really happy nowadays I have trouble with the linking sentence to thesis at the end of para. Thats my main prob I think

hsc marking standards are like GG tho lol

would like to see you try getting full marks in your trials

Yeah ofc, the fact that you offered help already made me really happy nowadays I have trouble with the linking sentence to thesis at the end of para. Thats my main prob I think

you just need to keep your linking sentences to your thesis at the end of each para short and sweet. no point partaking in waffling tbh

that's what helped to ensure i answered the question

It's quite easy, once you get the hang of it. If you need help, i'll be willing to help cause it's like thing i'm good at with english lol, but im sure WLL will do the job 10x better than me

Aye! Which trials? My English one? Impossible! Senior school English has not been a perfect one for me at all :C

I never get feedback that points out errors in my writing style, rather, I lose marks because my overall essay isn't very "creative" apparently.
