Dear Alina,
RăspundețiȘtergereI like your essay. It is really good. I am sure you will write your Licence Paper. As I see you work hard and don't waste time. Your essay is coherent. It has TS.
Good Luck ))))))))))))))))))))))))
Alina :)
RăspundețiȘtergere- can the first paragraph consist only of one sentence? Shouldn't it be developed? doesn't it sound too general?
- firstly? why not secondly?
- does Academic writing have anything? I don't quite understand what you wanted to say in the second paragraph in general.
- how are the follow-up paragraphs connected?
- ' Normally it is better to avoid plagiarism' ???????????????????
- your grammar is quite ok, but I'm still not sure that the meaning is conveyed 'accurately' or I would say appropriately / coherently.
Think what was your intention, did you manage to achieve your goals?
