Common problems from last week:

1. The reader needs to know what your focus is. For that reason, use key words from the directions in your thesis, topic sentence, concluding sentence, rephrased thesis. For example: The buildings at Balboa Park have character due to their charm and appeal.

2. Part of learning a language is knowing how certain words are commonly used. A character is a person in a story. Another use of the word character is to say something has charm or appeal. So I would not say, Balboa Park has a character. This means it has a person in a story. We have count nouns and noncount nouns. Look at learnersdictionary.com to know if a noun is a count noun or a noncount noun. Here is the link for character: http://www.learnersdictionary.com/search/character. Articles a, an, and the often come before a count noun. Do not use them before a noncount noun. So I wouldn't say: Balboa Park has a lot of a character.

3. There were a lot of problems with simple grammar rules like capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
