Praise‘We where all over my aunts house when my dog
Riley was running around like crazy. He was chasing me around in circles. all of a suden I look and riley he was in the pool! swimming in my aunts pool. I couldn’t believe my eyes that the dog was in the pool. I dashed to the pool and jumpd in and swan over to Riley and pulled him to the steps. He got out and shook all over us like a sprinkler on a hot day. I was glad that Riley was o.k. and that I saved him.’

SuggestionsMaking suggestions means giving theauthor some specific ideas about how tomake his or her writing better.
• Remember – stay positive and be specific!– Instead of, “It didn’t make sense,” say, “If youadd more details after this sentence, it wouldbe more clear.”
– Instead of, “Your word choice was boring,” say,“Instead of using the word good, maybe you could
use the word exceptional”
![Page 13: English 2 Basic: Class 8](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e97550346895dcd2723/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examples Word choice – Did the author choose
interestingwords?Using details - (for example, seeing, hearing,
touching, tasting, and smelling)Organisation – Can you understand what the
author is trying to say? Is it in the correct sequence?
Sentences – Are the sentences too long or too short?
Topic – Does the author stick to the topic or talk to other things that don’t really fit?
