Thsh's Writing Page 8 Affordable and Fun Indoor Games and Activities for Kids

These are two of the games that I seem that might be fun. One of them is the monopoly game board. I recommend this because it shows you how you can earn money and negotiate with people . In the text it states "Monopoly or Monopoly Junior are fun ways to practice math skills, while also teaching kids ideas such as saving, spending, and other money management". Another game that i assume that is fun is the lego kit. This is because kids can practice their building skills and learn how to create new things. They can be creative with all the different pieces. In addition "Fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving and cause and effect concepts are just some lessons kids can learn with legos". To conclude these are the two activities I think are fun and the best choice for kids.

In addition "Fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving and cause and effect concepts are just some lessons kids can learn with legos". To conclude these are the two activities I think are fun and the best choice for kids.

Corrections:

There are two games that seem like they might be fun to play indoors.

• • • Remember to write in 3rd person, which means you can’t use “I.” Also, I replaced “that” with “they” as you are referring to two things. I also took out “these are” to make the sentence flow better.

One game is the monopoly game board. Monopoly is a good game to play as it teaches you how how to earn money and negotiate with people.

• • • I replaced “them” with “game” to make it more specific. I eliminated the “I” as it needs to be written in the third person. I started the next sentence with “Monopoly is a good game to play” as it more clearly states your point. I also replaced “shows” with “teaches” as the word choice better fits the context of the sentence. Lastly, I eliminated the extra space at the end of the sentence after “people.”

In the text, it states, “Monopoly or Monopoly Junior are fun ways to practice math skills, while also teaching kids ideas such as saving, spending, and other money management.”

• • • Remember that periods go inside the quotation marks.

Another game that is fun to play is the Lego Kit.

• • • I deleted the “I” to make the sentence into the third person. I also deleted “assume,” to make the sentence more strongly worded. “Lego Kit” also needs to be capitalized as it is a brand name.

This is because kids can practice their building skills and learn how to create new things. They can be creative with all the different pieces. In addition, the text states, "Fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving and cause and effect concepts are just some lessons kids can learn with legos."

• • • After an introductory phrase like “In addition,” it needs a comma after it. Also, remember that periods go inside quotation marks at the end of a sentence.

In conclusion, these two games are the best choices for kids to play inside as they are fun.

• • • I replaced “to” with “in” and added a comma after “conclusion” to improve the phrasing of the sentence. I eliminated the “I” to make it into 3rd person. Lastly, I rephrased the sentence to improve the flow.

The reason the Summer Olympics games will be postponed is because of this virus around called the corona virus.

In the text it states "The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo , Japan postponed for about a year. This is because of the corona pandemic". To conclude this shows the reason why the Sumer Olympic Games will be postponed.

Corrections:

The Summer Olympic Games will be postponed because of the coronavirus.

• • • When following the phrase “Summer Olympics” with “Games,” the word “Olympic” should be singular. I also fixed the spelling of “coronavirus” which should be one word. Lastly, I deleted the words “around called” as it didn’t make sense with the structure of the sentence.

In the text, it states, "The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan postponed for about a year. This is because of the corona pandemic.”

• • • “In the text” is an introductory phrase, so it needs a comma after it. The same goes for “it states.” Also, make sure to put periods inside the quote, not outside.

To conclude, the text identifies the reason for the postponement of the Sumer Olympic Games.

• • • “To conclude” is an introductory phrase, so it needs a comma after it. I also rephrased the sentence to change it from passive to active voice. Active voice can provide more clarity to the reader, as the subject performs the action of the clause.

Final Version:

The Summer Olympic Games will be postponed because of the coronavirus. In the text, it states, "The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan postponed for about a year.

In the text it states "The number of people who make it to space is quite small.

In addition "There are many challenging parts to the astronaut training and, the candidates must successfully complete them. This shows why some people that sign up to be an astronaut sometimes cant be an astronaut.

Corrections:

Some people that apply to become an astronaut can't be one. 

• • • You are missing the article “that,” adding this word will help the sentence flow better. Also, an apostrophe is needed in the word “can’t” because it is a contraction.

This is because they have to face so many challenges, making it more likely that they will fail.

• • • The quantifier in front of “challenges” is missing, so I added the word “many.” I also reworded the last half of the sentence to improve the grammar.

The text states, “The number of people who make it to space is quite small.”

• • • Remember that quotation marks are needed at the beginning and end of the quote. Also, I edited the introduction to the quote to make it less clunky sounding. Lastly, I added a comma after the introductory clause "the text states" as it was missing.

In addition, "There are many challenging parts to the astronaut training and the candidates must successfully complete them.”

• • • You need a comma after the introductory clause “in addition.” Also, the quotation mark at the end of the quote was missing.

In conclusion, this evidence shows why some people that sign up to be an astronaut sometimes can’t be an astronaut.

• • • I added “in conclusion” to help you transition into your conclusion. I also included the word “evidence” to make the “this” you are talking about clearer. Lastly, I added an apostrophe in the word “can’t” as it is a contraction.

Great work! You followed the format very nicely. Just make sure to use correct punctuation in quotes and in contractions.

Robots help Japanese students “attend” Graduation Ceremony

The difference between the graduation ceremony in Japan is different than other because in Japan they use robots.

Corrections:

The graduation ceremony in Japan is different than others because they use robots.

• • • You used the word different twice, which is a bit repetitive. I rephrased the sentence to make it more concise.

In the text, it states, “a Tokyo university has used avatar robots to enable students to attend their graduation ceremony without leaving home.”

• • • You need a comma after the introductory phrase “in the text” as well as after “it states.”

In conclusion, this evidence from the text proves why there is a difference between graduation ceremonies in Japan and traditional graduation ceremonies.

• • • The noun “ceremony” shouldn’t be in the possessive form, as it is not possessing anything. I changed it to the plural form. Because you say “there is a difference between…” you need to compare the relationship between two things. You stated the first, which is graduation ceremonies in Japan, but you need to add what it is being compared to. I added “in Japan” to make the first subject clearer and “traditional graduation ceremonies” to complete the comparison.

Great work! Make sure to use commas and check for repetition.

Corrections:

One of the accomplishments William Winslow made is helping to end childhood hunger.

• • • William didn’t end childhood hunger, but he is helping to fight against this. I rephrased the sentence to fix this.

In the text, it states “William persuaded his mother to drive him to a local Food Lion.”

• • • After the introductory phrase “in the text,” you need a comma after it. Also, the end of the quote needed a quotation mark.

In addition, “There he talked to shoppers into buying food -1,400 pounds’ worth- to send home in backpacks during spring break.”

• • • You need a comma after the introductory phrase “in addition.”

This evidence shows one of the accomplishments William Winslow made.

Corrections:

Earth Day is always celebrated on April 22, according to the article.

• • • The first version of the sentence was a bit hard to read. I reworded the sentence to improve the grammar.

The text states that “Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22.”

• • You need quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quote. I also edited the introductory phrase before the quote, to fix the grammar. Before, it was too long and was in need of commas. "The text states that" is a more concise way to introduce your evidence.

Earth Day is celebrated by participating in habits such as recycling to help protect the environment while remaining at home due to COVID-19.

• • • After the quote, I suggest adding more detail on what Earth Day is, and how it can be celebrated at home as your title indicates.

In conclusion, the evidence from the text proves that Earth Day will still take place on April 22.

• • • Good conclusion. I rephrased it to help the transition between your evidence and your conclusion smoother.

Good work! Make sure to provide the reader with detail on your subject. It sounded a bit repetitive by stating the date of Earth Day multiple times without any additional information.

Corrections:

Two boys are helping seniors by bringing them the resources that they need during the COVID-19 crisis.

• • • I said “two boys” instead to add more specificity to the introduction. “that will be needed” is a bit clunky sounded, so I reworded that sentence and put it in the present tense instead of the future tense as well. You are missing a word after “the COVID-19,” so I also added the word “crisis” to improve the grammar of the sentence. Lastly, I capitalized “COVID.”

The text states that “delivering the groceries and necessary supplies they need to protect their grandparents and loved ones who have health conditions.”

• • • The phrase “in the text it states” was missing commas, and used the wrong type of preposition. I edited and reworded the introductory phrase before the quote to fix this grammatical and punctuation issue.

This evidence shows how the boys are helping the seniors by delivering food.

• • • Good! I just added “are helping” to make it sound like it’s an ongoing service, instead of a one-time service they provided.

Great work! Make sure to read over your sentences for clarity.

Corrections:

We can help the world improve by saving more water, rather than wasting it.

• • • In the original sentence, it felt like it was missing a few words. To make the sentence more complete, I rephrased it a little.

The text details a water-saving strategy, "To help save more water, challenge yourself to take a shorter shower (but still get clean!)."

• • • I rephrased the introduction to the quote to make it into the third person point of view.

In conclusion, this evidence proves that saving water can help preserve the Earth’s environment.

• • • I added “in conclusion” to help you transition from the quote to the concluding sentence. You used “improve” in the paragraph already, so I said “help preserve the Earth’s environment” to add a variety of word choice.

Corrections:

Your brain cleanses itself and fights off harmful things while you sleep.

• • • The verb cleanse should be in the plural form.

The text states “Sleep enables the brain to cleanse itself and get rid of harmful toxins.”

• • • “In the text it states” sounds a bit clunky. It would require two commas, one after “text” and another after “states.” So, I reworded the introductory phrase to make it lead into the quote better.

This evidence proves that when you sleep, your brain cleanses itself and protects you from harmful toxins.

• • • A comma is missing after the word “sleep” as the clause is introductory. I also corrected “you’re” to “your,” because you are referring to someone’s brain, and are not saying “you are brain.” The verb cleanse should again be in the plural form.

Great work! You clearly answered the question and gave great evidence. Make sure to use correct verb forms, and use commas when necessary.

Final Version:
