Check the last phrase for sense though -- it doesn’t quite work.<BR/><BR/>Accuracy/spelling: Again, this contains some spelling errors. Try writing you copy in Word and using the spell check. Otherwise, this is carefully written according to the known facts.<BR/><BR/>Audience: You have written this appropriately for a local paper.<BR/><BR/>Quotes: Used well here with the occasional punctuation lapse. Attribute using ‘said’ or ‘added’. No need for ‘he went on to add’. Cut words wherever you can.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064302274544791201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902783052984261962.post-78648013128659431512007-10-16T05:36:00.000-07:002007-10-16T05:36:00.000-07:00I knew for this story that making sure a direct ac...I knew for this story that making sure a direct accusation was not made as the police had not confirmed that factor.<BR/><BR/>I feel generally the exercise went well, mainly due to the decent dossier of information that was given.<BR/><BR/>I decided to use the expert opinion, mainly due to the fact i had a word count to aim for, and needed more words.chris_sayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242798159527351281noreply@blogger.com
