笑話一則

Dear Rufina,

The comments you quoted are very positive about your writing. I can understand your confusion, though. I believe one of the comments should read: "Your story flows well [and] is not dampened [or hindered] by poor sentences or tangents..." Perhaps the sentence now make more sense.
Blessings,
Bruce

Dear Dr. Bruce,I would like to seek your advice on the comments about my languageusage. I agree with all the comments, but these two puzzled me: "Yourstory flows well, is not dampered but poor sentences or tangentdetails; every word pushes forward. However...(Peter Dacanay)" and "Yourdescriptions are very good. Your verbs are very good" (Sheryl Finn). Itried to use the formula in writing: active voice and short sentences.If it is something about language usage, I understand and agree thatit is a matter of practice. However, what if it's because Imisunderstand something about writing?Kindly advise, or should I put this into my paper instead? :)

Thanks!

Rufina
