 INTRODUCTION
Stating ideas involves plenty of considerations when it comes to message
delivery especially in the written form where every word said can be reviewed
and assessed. Sometimes, what we want to say may come out differently
depending on the words used, arrangement of the writing, and simple
punctuations and capitalizations. Hence, the need for editing and rephrasing may
come in handy for our true message to be delivered flawlessly.

topic. These are facts and
information needed to sustain a
thought.

Earth is the only planet in the
Andromeda Galaxy where life can
be found. It has two moons namely
Luna and Lana. The organisms in
this planet breathe carbon dioxide.
We live on a planet where day and
night are present. Earth days can be
counted by its full rotation of the
Earth in its axis. As it circulates the
sun in our solar system in its orbit,
a year can be measured by one
revolution.
 02
GRAMMAR
 refers to an agreement of
subject and verb and
consistency of tenses.

The important of use the correct
use of grammar is it showing your

In writing, one should be mindful of the
correct spelling, capitalization of nouns
such as John, Mary, and the President.
Places should be capitalized too such as
Legazpi City, Albay. Punctuations are put
into place to indicate a pause in the
sentence, such as this, that makes the
meaning clear and how to end a thought
just like this.
 04
STRUCTURE
 refers to the method where ideas and
evidence of facts are provided in the
text.

First, most people in other countries somehow know this language.
Though people cannot speak English fluently, say in Brazil, some words
can be understood thanks to English movies, magazines, and signages
that they saw.

world.
Although there are some big contenders that threaten this spot like
Mandarin and
Spanish, we should also keep up by strengthening our English tongue.

many more. English is our passport to the world.

 Problems of Internet

On an individual level, the internet can cause a lot of problems-one of the most
significant being procrastination. Procrastination is the habit of postponing a task
indefinitely. Social Media platforms such as Facebook and other similar sites, are to be
blamed as it is easy to get sucked into them. countless hours could disappear if the user
does not keep track of time.
However, the internet is not all bad. There are many other things that you can learn.
For instance, a technical subject such as Physics can be better understood through the
help of videos. Abstract subjects such as Mathematics are understood better through the
help of websites and forums dedicated to explain the concepts better.
In conclusion, the Internet is like a double -edged sword. It can be a great boon if
used in the right way. It provides valuable knowledge and resources to better yourself.
However, it can also be easy to distract yourself and waste countless hours of your time.
