EDITING
Sit Tight and Write On!
I AM TERRIBLE AT EDITING! HELP!
Wait a minute, is there an error in this sentence? Oh yes, “terrible” seems a bit odd. Do you know what the word should be replaced with for this sentence to be accurate?
​
JUST USE WHAT FITS IN!
How about “horrible” or “terrific”? These words seem to fit well with the sentence too. Unfortunately, if the above sentence appears in the editing component in your school paper, and “horrible” or “terrific” is your answer, you are not going to get a tick for it!
In case you are wondering, the correct answer should be “terrible”.
WAIT, ONLY ONE ANSWER IS ACCEPTED?
Yes, for spelling errors like the one above, only one answer will be accepted!
​
If this is a surprising fact to you, we would like to tell you that you are not alone. Many students have been losing precious marks which could have been saved due to a lack of understanding of the requirements for this section.
It is time for Edit-Tea to step in and help you know the requirements and techniques for this component. Stop being terrible but be terrific in editing now!
