Correcting mistakes in passage I helped a person to correct its passage. Unfortunately, I am very weak at English. I encountered a lot of difficulties in marking the passage.
The passage and questions are as follows: [*** indicated problematic statements/things] =
Today, my teacher told me to write a diary. *** I need to use english to write this article.*** *** no important things are needed to write down.***
… *** A got better marks in biology test than me. I am very happy because he is getting
more
hardworking…***
…
Q: 1. *** I need to use english to write this article.*** Regarding the whole sentence, Is it grammatically correct? Even if so, is it natural enough? Is it better to rewrite as "So I need to write this article in English"?
2. *** no important things are needed to write down.*** I can't really catch its meaning. I think of a lot of alternatives. See which is better: - But this article is of no importance/significance // just trivia. - But only trivia are included in this article. - But there are no special/important things for me to write down - But I don't have any special/important things to write down
Are the above grammatically correct? Which is the best?
3. *** A got better marks in biology test than me. *** First I think it should be higher. Second is it ok to put "than me" at the end of the sentence? I prefer " Person A got higher marks
(than me) in the biology test." Any ideas?
4. *** am very happy because he is getting more hardworking…*** "…getting more hardworking". Is it correct?
