Write the Paragraph

A hundred words, unchecked. You get a count only.

Write a 100-word Task 2 body paragraph. Do not check it. You will get a count by category and nothing else.

Prompt: some people believe that governments should make public transport free. Others say the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Write one body paragraph of about 100 words.

Send it unchecked. You will be told how many faults it carries in each of the four categories — and nothing about where they are.

Keep it. You will check it yourself in the next two blocks.

Your paragraph*

Do not check it before sending.

Your Two-Item Check

Twelve faults, one of each. Hunt only your two.

Ninety seconds. This paragraph carries one fault from each of the twelve categories — but you are not hunting all twelve. Run only the two questions you named in Sprint 5.4, correct what those two catch, and write skipped for the rest. Leaving ten spans as skipped is the correct answer here.

(10) Some cities have tried this and then stops. (11) A committee who studied the scheme recommended caution. (12) Its a decision with no obvious answer.

Resubmit

Your corrected paragraph, reported across all twelve categories.

Send your corrected paragraph, with the original above it.

Now send both versions of the paragraph you wrote earlier — the original, and the version you corrected with your two-item check.

This is the only block in the course that reports on everything.

It is last for that reason. At any earlier point it would have told you that everything was wrong.

Original, then corrected*

Both, labelled.
