Isabelle, it was really nice to read your book presentation. I’ve posted some comments here along with the text.

When writing a summary of a plot use present tense all the time (on all the verbs). Try not to overuse the article “the”.

I think you have narrowed down the plot in a good way where you at the same time displayed Alex as a person and the focus on that she changes and searches for something better. She feels that the grass is greener on the other side and doesn’t realise that what she actually has is the best. She is a little blind to what she has. She doesn’t see the wood for the trees so to speak.

You mostly have quite a good way of writing and using your language. Your sentences could be longer and more advanced. You make some unnecessary grammar mistakes that I think you could easily correct yourself if you had given the text some more time. Examples of this is -s or not on the verb in present tense, the use of the-article or not, ing-form on some verbs etc.

Also, I miss a clear part where you describe the environment/atmosphere in the story. Something that might carry the plot forward and maybe affected you in a certain way.

Maja, thank you for your nice presentation. I’ve posted some comments here along with the text.

When writing a summary of a plot use present tense all the time (on all the verbs).

I think you have displayed the essential parts of the plot in a good way. You focus on the fact that Miss Marple is a clever amateur detective who is actually better at solving crimes than the police.

You have quite a good way of writing and using your language. Your sentences could be longer and more advanced. You make some unnecessary grammar mistakes that I think you could easily correct yourself if you had given the text some more time. Examples of this capital letter the correct words, the use of too, usage of wrong words etc. Also, you tend to forget some words in your sentences every now and then.

I miss a deeper description of the message of the story.

Josephine, it was really nice to read your book presentation. I’ve posted some comments here along with the text. The start-out on your presentation is very good, it made me want to read the book myself. I’ve actually read several of Marian Keyes’ novels and I like them very much. This on, however, I haven’t read. I think you have narrowed down the plot in a good and interesting way.

You mostly have a great way of writing and using your language. You use very good phrases, expressions and have an advanced, varied and wide vocabulary which is excellent. However, you make unnecessary grammar mistakes that I think you could easily correct yourself if you had given the text some more time. Examples of this is the genitive form, -s or not on the verb in present tense, who/which, ing-form on some verbs etc,

Also, I miss a clear part where you describe a special event in the story. An event that carries the plot forward and maybe affected you in a certain way.

Louise, it was joyful to read your book presentation. I’ve posted some comments here along with the text. You’ve written a good text about Christie’s And Then There Were None. I’ve seen a film version of the story once. It’s actually a great story.

You’ve used a good introduction to your reading and the description of the plot catches your attention.

You have a great way of writing and using your language. You use very good phrases, expressions and have an advanced, varied and wide vocabulary which is excellent.

I like your ending as well about Christie as a murder story author. However, I miss a clear section about the message.

Linnéa B's Literature Link
Linnéa, lovely to read your book presentation. I’ve posted some comments here along with the text. It was a good read and I really look forward to seeing the movie later on.

An introduction to your reading could be good, like ”I’ve read fourth book in the series Twilight Saga…” but it works ok as you’ve done right now. But think about it for the future. Also, here it is a must to introduce the author.

Great writing in the first paragraph (even it is a bit long), good that you are sticking to present time when writing about the plot. You keep up the good writing throughout the text.

You are using very good phrases, expressions and an advanced, varied and wide vocabulary which is excellent.

Practise on the genitive with the apostrophes in the right place.

Look for your grading in an e-mail together with some extra comments on the text attached.

Isabelle B's News Flashes
Isabelle

This is better, good that you linked to the news article online. Next time when writing formal English, try to use the passive form even more; examples on passive form in your text:

"More than 700 buses were scheduled to be scrapped"
"when Mike was appointed in 2007 "
"five of the buses that were broken are now cleaned up "

You have passed the assignment.
