Thank you all very much for your help! Sorry I was mistaken in giving my teacher's answer to the second sentence. His answer is B - "all matter" should be "all matters". Although I think "entity" should be in plural, but I also think that "all matters" makes sense as well. I am so confused!

Dear PP As Erin said, it's better for anyone to do something than nothing at all. Hi, it can apply to me as well! Before others contribute to help u correct and rate your essay, I hope I can give you my small hand with it as follows: * In general, you essay does not make the topic sentence/thesis statement clear so that it's difficult to write the body paragraphs to develop or support the thesis statement. * Grammar errors: - 1st sentence: + What is "the argument" here? + There should not be the two comas in the sentence as the noun phrase "information... genuine" modifies nothing in this case and the preposition "irrespective of" can not stand after a coma as in this sentence. + Illogical in meaning: The information that is "truthful and genuine" can not bring "probable negative response", actually. I understand what you mean, but the way you express your thinking in this sentence makes readers confused. In this case, the "probable negative response" should be towards "the companies' services and products", not the truthful and genuine information given out. I think we should rewrite this sentence as follows: People conclude/argue that the information given out by companies in order to advertise their services or products should be truthful and genuine irrespective of the probable negative response of consumers towards the services or products. - 2nd sentence: + The readers can not understand who does "the author" refer to. + There should not be "and" after "consumers", it means, we have to eliminate "and" in this sentence. + "media" should be in plural form. - 3rd sentence: "some more factors" should be pointed out before you write/develop paragraphs according to these factors. - 3rd paragraph: "such as" can not be used to give out examples, you can use some phrases such as "for example", "for instance". - Last para: "spill" on its own means reveal, so "out" is not necessary here. Last but not least, I think you should carefully consider the use of "a", "an", "the" before nouns and the single and plural forms of nouns as I realise you used these articles and forms so arbitrarily. What I wrote is only my subjective opinion. I hope to take more ideas and contributions to PP's essay and to my correction and understanding as well. Best regards patvn

Dear friends Please help me with these two questions of the Written Expression in the January 2002 test. I was confused by my teacher's answers to them. Please see: 1. Under the certain conditions, a rainbow appears at the end of a rain shower A B C in the quarter of the sky opposite the sun. D My teacher's answer is D. His explanation is that "the quarter" should be "a quarter", but I think A is the correct answer, "the certain" should be changed to "certain" with "the" being excluded. 2. During the 19th century the molecular theory of matter was developed, which considered all matter to be composed of tiny, indivisible entity called A B C D molecules. My teacher's answer is A. It's reasonable. But could anyone explain to me why is "entity" and not "entities"? Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
