Once you have finished revising your peer’s essay, continue to demonstrate your understanding of grammar and punctuation by writing an essay containing all of the grammatical concepts outlined in the project.

Your essay should be about 250 words, and it can be written on any subject. It should contain an example of parallel structure, an example of every type of phrase and clause outlined in this lesson, an example of two independent clauses connected by a semicolon, and an example of a colon. If you are struggling to come up with an idea for an essay, consider writing it about the themes present in one of the texts you have read already.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
