Refining Skills
« on: January 20, 2010, 07:01:23 PM »
My placement said Advanced, but when a person can't word things and has a hard time transitioning between events in paragraphs, I don't think they're advanced.
So I choose to take intermediate to refine what I already know.

Ready!

So then, tell me why you think you can't word things?
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

I'm not really sure. When trying to think of a post, I can go as far as planning it out, each part I want to do. But then when it comes to typing it into words...mental block!
Whatever I seem to type doesn't make sense or it reads choppily...

And then when trying to transition from events in paragraphs. Like paragraph1- reply, paragraph2 - react, paragraph3 -whatever else.... I can't word it to make it a smooth transition. It just seems off.

Alright. Choose a series of posts you participated in from this board, and show me why it seems off.
