Hi everyone,
I am in the process of writing an essay on dogs for school. Yes, school ![]() Anyway, i wrote up a draft and i'd be interested in your opinion. Just let me hear if you got anything to say about it. I'm very open to constructive criticism, suggestions on additional topics, philosophical point of views on the whole thing, in particular on the level of consciousness of these animals and what we can learn from it about human nature - or whatever pops into your mind really. Please leave out typos for the moment and consider that english is not my motherlanguage. the document can be found under http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dd9nn4z8_2f9m5sh i'll add you as collaborator if you wish so you can edit straight into the document Anything appreciated ![]() |

Keep in mind, please, that I'm not a professional editor, or even an expert. I simply have a good grasp of the English language and its grammatical structure. With that being said, I would like you to clarify in your own mind whether this is an essay, or elaborate notes for a speech. It reads more like elaborate notes for a speech since it begins as such. Please make sure you capatalize "I" when speaking in first person. Please don't write slang such as "gonna." I admit, I use this in my everyday speech, but when writing a paper for a grade, it's pretty much a no-no. I'll try to continue to read it, but my opinion, from a grammatical standpoint, is that it needs more work. As far as content goes, I haven't had a dog in a few years, but it's always fun to lurk in this forum. ![]() |

I skimmed your message and invariably failed to notice the part about typos. WIth that being said, I apologize. Also, since it's hard for me to read for content beyond the "typos," I wish you luck and hopefully someone here can offer you the assistance you need. Good luck! |

Hi, thanks for your time! Yes originally it was just notes for a
speech, then i turned it into a speech in essay form (reading out) but now its just too much to fit into the given 4 minutes of talking i get ![]() yes i got into the habit to just write down how it comes out and then run over it with a spellchecker when its finished, so my writing flow doesnt get caught up in how to spell things properly ![]() cheers, fabian Yes, I'm replying to my own message.
