Writing Correction codes and help to write compositions

COMPOSITIONS PROCEDURE
Please, do not ask me if I can correct your composition after the deadline. The answer will always be "NO" under any circumstances!
You can always write down the next composition.
I do not double-check compositions either. Once the composition is corrected, it is your responsibility to check your copy of your composition, give me the original corrected (optional) and try to improve next time. However, you can compare your composition with your classmates.
Remember that I prefer your compositions to be handwritten for your own interest.
When necessary, after every composition I will make some comments in the classroom that you can download from the downloads/writing section of your level.
VERY IMPORTANT: I will not mark any compositions which were partially or completely copied from the internet, articles , magazines, etc.
