Test#5 or 6
*Wednesday, June 30- Marks day- You can email me on
June 30 for your final mark. Email me during class time, and I will email you
back your final mark (%).
Most of the descriptive paragraphs were fine. None of
them were late. All of them arrived by the deadline.
Common mistakes to watch out for:
1.
font size
Her face is a bit oval with a
high bone cheek. She has a slight hint of smile on her thin lips. The frizzy
and wavy black hair is covered with a delicate scarf. She has large black eyes
that outlined with long black lashes. I think that her piercing looks can
mesmerize everyone. There is a tall bone nose in the middle of her face. Her
white teeth appear among of her thin lips. I guess, you can feel that how this
Asian girl is beautiful.
I cannot read that. The font is too small to read. I
cannot correct.
Use a 14-16 point font for schoolwork.
2.
indent the first word of the paragraph, standard for
school writing
Use the TAB key to indent, right beside
the Q key. Alternatively, you can tap the SPACE 5-6 times.
Her face is a bit oval with a high
bone cheek. She has a slight hint of smile on her thin lips. The frizzy and
wavy black hair is covered with a delicate scarf. She has large black eyes that
outlined with long black lashes. I think that her piercing looks can mesmerize
everyone. There is a tall bone nose in the middle of her face. Her white teeth
appear among of her thin lips. I guess, you can feel that how this Asian girl
is beautiful.

one block of writing
Her face is a bit oval with a high bone cheek.
She has a slight hint of smile on her thin lips.
The frizzy and wavy black hair is covered with a delicate
scarf.
She has large black eyes that outlined with long black
lashes.
I think that her piercing looks can mesmerize everyone.
There is a tall bone nose in the middle of her face.
Her white teeth appear among of her thin lips.
I guess, you can feel that how this Asian girl is beautiful.
All of these sentences begin on the left margin. For a
paragraph, we want to write them into one block.
Her face is a bit oval with a high
bone cheek. She has a slight hint of smile on her thin lips. The frizzy and
wavy black hair is covered with a delicate scarf. She has large black eyes that
outlined with long black lashes. I think that her piercing looks can mesmerize
everyone. There is a tall bone nose in the middle of her face. Her white teeth
