Corrected version of my second homework




My second homework wasn’t much better than my first one. It was spell-checked but the formatting of the paragraph was horrible as I found out later. Instead of writing one cohesive paragraph I wrote two, because I made gaps between the lines. If I had done so in an exam I would have definitely failed.
Here is my corrected paragraph (and this time it is really only ONE paragraph! ;) )
Having looked at a number of monolingual print dictionaries in class this week, I have decided to buy the “Longman Dictionary of Contemporary Use”.  I have chosen this dictionary because it contains the most essential information about a word. It gives the phonetic transcript, the plural form, synonyms and antonyms, strong collocations and example sentences. It even contains a grammar chapter which can be especially useful when you write a text. Another great feature is that you can easily carry it with you to class because of its light weight. Most other dictionaries are either too heavy to carry them with you or contain less information. In case you do not have the printed version with you, you can still use the online version which provides the same information. I still think that holding a dictionary in my hands feels better than always looking in the computer screen. As I am really convinced of the LDUC I will go and try to persuade my parents to buy it for me!
