TTT: Three Tasks Today


Post : Correction Treatment
One of the people that I’d like to meet with or talk to is definitely Plato. I’d like to talk to him because I believe he was such an inspiring model for (We) thinking and knowledge. Also, because(Nn) when I knew him through Philosophy I thought that he was a very intelligent person and I have to recognize that I fell in love with his books and his way of thinking. Although, many people today think that to have studied his thoughts on “the immortality of souls (C) ”, “the(C) Republic”, or the very famous but unknowing (Wf) in meaning “Cave Allegory”, they were a waste of time at all. However, in my personal opinion, his philosophy has been a huge influence in culture and (Sm)way of thinking through history.
Well, I’d like to talk about how he reached that level of thinking. Also, where did he get their(WF) inspiration from and that if he can explain to me what the true meaning behind the Cave Allegory was. Moreover, I’d like to tell (Ww) him about our current lives and our poor (not in general) exercises(Wf) on Spirituality. I think in some way we have lost that part of our lives and that is why I’d like if he could give me some kind of advice in order to see things clearer and maybe enlighten myself.
•Wt: Wrong Tense
-Wf: Wrong Form
•Ww: Wrong Word
•Sp: Spelling
•p: Punctuation
•Wo: Word order
•Sm: Something Missing
•?: What the hell does this mean
•We: Wrong Expression
•C: Capital letter
-Nn: not needed
- (x) : this shouldn’t be there




Error Correction Activities

My opinion in regards to this kind of activity is positive. Although, correction sometimes is not such an interesting thing to do, I think that it has been quite helpful in my learning process. As a consequence, I have improved my awareness at the moment of writing. Furthermore, the work that we have been doing with the U Chile Geography students has been necessary both in order to help me to acquire experience and practice doing corrections and helping them to realize that writing is a slow process and that they are doing a good job in their own posts.
