Read the following short excerpt of student writing. Use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions you would make to improve his or her grammar and word choice.

I really thought she loved me but I discovered her grave betrayal one afternoon. It was easy to figure out because she accidentally sent a text to me that was meant for him. I was confused by the text because it said, “Don’t tell Mike.” I felt insulted that she thought she could get away with this infidelity. At first I felt very angry bitter and hateful but then I felt so hopeless and depressed. I longed for her to call me. I thought if I could just hear her pleasing voice, maybe then I would not be filled with such bitterness.

1- Mark had a gift for EMPATHY; he seemed to be able to relate to anyone’s pain and sorrow.

Empathy is the ability to perceive, share and understand what another being can feel, worrying about other people's experiences.

2- Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach.  

This sentence is correctly puntuated, as the commas are placed in the correct spaces, separating different ideas into the same sentence.

3- In the extract the word I is used too many times, which ends up being repetitive. It could go from active voice to passive voice to avoid repetition.

4- Being "is good at listening and feeling my pain" the underlined words, the word I would use would be EMPATHETIC.

5- A synonym for “faithfulness” is FIDELITY

6- I never thought I would have to write and deliver the EULOGY of anyone, let alone my best friend.

apathy
