Please do all writing on lined paper, in pen, blue or black ink.

erasable pen - good solution
Students worry about making their paragraph look beautiful and perfect with no corrections.
This isn't important. Cross out an error. As long as it is legible (readable), it's ok.
This should be a fun class, and we will learn a lot.
Not too serious. Don't be afraid. We're just here to learn more English.
