General remarks

● Make sure to use formal language, which is different from informal or spoken language. For instance, instead of I want to use I would like to and instead of can use could.

● Do NOT use spoken forms like gonna (= going to); wanna (=want to) or online spelling like cu and 4 (instead of ‘for’)

● I is always a capital letter

● Make sure that the paragraphs are logically linked, ordered and clearly marked.

● Make sure to fully complete all tasks in the assignment (e.g. if the assignment asks for 3 examples, always give at least 3 examples; giving 2 examples will cost you points).
