My assignment is to write a paragraph about what I've learned this week. It should contain clear and concise sentences, with correct spelling and puncuation. How do you think I did?
This Weeks Material Has Changed The Way I Write
This weeks material has opened my eyes to several common writing errors that I have been making for quite some time. For example, using improper word choices. For the longest time, I have been known to confuse the words; Capital, and Capitol. As simple as that may seem, I’ve always struggled with those words. This week’s material has given me the opportunity to learn the proper usage of both words. Another lesson I’ve learned in this week’s material is using a dictionary and thesaurus. Using them will allow me to be more clear and concise with word meaning, and proper spelling in my writing. Before this week I rarely would use either to assist in my writing, now I’m using them quite often with success.
Compare VERY carefully so you pick up all my corrections:

Overall, you did a great job in writing about what you've learned this week. Your paragraph contains clear and concise sentences, and your spelling and punctuation are correct. To further improve your writing, here are a few suggestions:
1. Use appropriate capitalization: In the first sentence, make sure to capitalize "Weeks" and "Material" as they are the beginning of a sentence.
2. Use proper punctuation: In the sentence "For example, using improper word choices," there should be a comma after "example" to separate the introductory phrase.
3. Ensure subject-verb agreement: In the sentence "Using them will allow me to be more clear and concise with word meaning," it should be "allows" instead of "allow" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
4. More precise word choice: Instead of saying "As simple as that may seem," consider using a more specific phrase to convey your thoughts. For example, you could say "Despite its apparent simplicity" or "While it may seem straightforward."
From a technical standpoint, your paragraph is well-written and covers what you have learned this week effectively. Keep up the good work! Remember to proofread your work to catch any small errors or areas where you can refine your writing further.
