You demonstrate that you are able to revise, edit, and proofread by effectively rewriting a paragraph using the standard written conventions of American English. To accomplish this assignment, you apply the rules and skills taught in the first four study units of this course.
Background
Pretend that you writing to the editor of your local newspaper. Your purpose is to convince its readers that rather than solely relying on e-mail, people should mail a letter to their loved ones every now and then. Following is your first draft.
Every now and then, instead of using e-mail, mail a letter to your grandparents. We live in a fast-paced world. We feel comfortable using computers to send e-mails and Instant Message. Nana doesn’t live in that time zone. Forget all those fancy fonts and emoticons or abbreviations like LOL. You point and click but Grandpa wants to hold something, unwrap a letter and smell it. A crayoned picture smells special, no scanner can do that. Their senses want to be used. He lives in a physical world, not an invisible one. Grandparents can touch something that is mailed. Sometimes as if touching the ink or pencil on paper helps them touch the writer. A picture can be held and used in so many ways. I get to see my grandkids’ handwriting is changing as they grow. I know how they feel just from the way they write the words. Give your grandparents the real thing that exists in time and space. Something to cherish rather than to be deleted.
How would you like us to help you?
please do me a favour write a paragraph according to the requirement given above
Dear Editor,
I am writing to advocate for the importance of mailing a letter to our loved ones instead of solely relying on e-mail. In today's fast-paced world, we have grown accustomed to using computers and instant messaging for communication. However, it is important to remember that not everyone lives in the same time zone or shares the same preferences.
While e-mails may offer convenience and the ability to use fancy fonts, emoticons, and abbreviations like LOL, there is something special about receiving a physical letter. Grandparents, in particular, appreciate the tangible and personal nature of a letter. They want to hold something in their hands, unwrap it, and even smell it. A crayoned picture, for example, holds a unique scent that a scanner cannot replicate. By sending a physical letter, we engage their senses and allow them to experience a world beyond the realms of the digital.
In a world where everything is becoming increasingly digitized, it is crucial to acknowledge and honor the value of physical touch. Grandparents can physically hold and touch a mailed letter, creating a connection between the writer and the recipient. Additionally, a handwritten letter allows us to witness the growth and changes in our grandchildren's handwriting as they mature. The way they write reflects their emotions, providing valuable insight into their lives.
Let us not underestimate the power of something tangible and cherished. Instead of deleting e-mails, let us give our grandparents something real and meaningful that exists in both time and space. A letter, a picture, or even a simple note can bring immeasurable joy and serve as a reminder of the love we share with our loved ones.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
