Ok guys, so I know some of you are having problems with the writing exercise on the MyELT platform

2
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:18,850
and these are the exercises in which you have to correct one text by making some changes, adding or taking something out and so on

3
00:00:18,850 --> 00:00:24,050
Now the interface is not very intuitive so I'm not surprised you're having problems

4
00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:26,489
Let me walk you through and see how we do this

5
00:00:26,489 --> 00:00:30,309
there's these icons here, add something or take out something

6
00:00:30,309 --> 00:00:33,810
add a full stop, make a lowercase or make an uppercase letter

7
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:39,270
now they're telling you to click on them and drag them wherever you want to have something

8
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:41,789
edited, but then when you do that

9
00:00:41,789 --> 00:00:46,969
this is the response you get, suppose I want to add something here

10
00:00:46,969 --> 00:00:51,250
it doesn't let me, or suppose I want to suppress something here

11
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,250
it won't let me do it either

12
00:00:52,250 --> 00:01:00,369
so the thing is that the platform is not that intelligent or to put it another way it's giving

13
00:01:00,369 --> 00:01:04,870
you some clues and it will only add you it will only let you add something when it's actually

14
00:01:04,870 --> 00:01:11,269
needed okay so which London business conference which being held now we're missing something there

15
00:01:11,269 --> 00:01:17,810
right so there it does allow me to do it and what is missing in this case is the verb okay that's it

16
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:20,209
same thing happens with the take out thing

17
00:01:20,209 --> 00:01:22,790
unless there is a mistake over there

18
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:23,689
it will let me do it

19
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:26,629
so if I do

20
00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:28,049
go where there is a mistake

21
00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:29,989
and write in the request your approval for a tent

22
00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:30,670
not really

23
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:33,769
so that doesn't belong there

24
00:01:33,769 --> 00:01:35,989
and now I need to add something

25
00:01:35,989 --> 00:01:38,989
to a tent

26
00:01:38,989 --> 00:01:39,909
and so on

27
00:01:39,909 --> 00:01:41,230
so that's how it works

28
00:01:41,230 --> 00:01:44,390
not very intuitive but not very difficult either

29
00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:45,390
once you figure it out

30
00:01:45,390 --> 00:01:46,069
alright

31
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:48,069
Okay.
