That will help you much more than taking yet another quiz. <BR/><BR/>It's time to go on a quiz diet! WRITE sentences, descriptions with concrete details, and opinions that you support with specific examples. <BR/><BR/>Taking quizzes won't teach anyone how to write: it only teaches you how to take quizzes. That is handy for school but hardly a real life job or professional skillVanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37860137.post-53698288364127444102007-06-29T05:08:00.000-07:002007-06-29T05:08:00.000-07:00Hi Ms. Vanessa, I have tried the Quiz NO. 1 ...Hi Ms. Vanessa,<BR/><BR/> I have tried the Quiz NO. 1 and found that I have got :<BR/><BR/>You answered 24 items out of 30 correctly.<BR/><BR/>Your score is 80%.
