Here's my essay for the language analysis piece 'All Litter Bugs are Trash!' Took me 55 minutes (WOO FINALLY UNDER 1 HOUR!!!)
Please be as critical as possible :)
Cheers
P.S. I fucking loved reading Max Lawson's comment. Kudos to the person who wrote that. I never thought someone could be so cynical...
P.P.S The juggling act was real.

Hey Lauren,
Could you have a look at this essay on 'In the Country of Men'. It's on the second topic from the 4th exam.

Thank you :)

Feedback for Splash-Tackle-Flail and duo0024

Hope it makes sense, let me know if it doesn't... and hope it's helpful don't let me know if it isn't ;)

Re multiple visuals, Splash - do them both as a rule of thumb, but Lauren was a bit nasty here with two visuals AND three comments, which makes it a bit tricky to fit it all in with decent depth of analysis in one hour.

Hi Lauren!
I just want to say thank you so much for marking the ITCOM practice piece for me! I know you stated that I should start quoting earlier into my BPs, any advice on how to go from the topic sentence and then start providing evidence and making it seem smooth and fluent?

Also, context is probably my weakest area in English and I was wondering if you could have a quick look at this piece and provide some general feedback (Just a quick look, no need to mark it extensively like you did for the other one)

Thank you so much again Lauren
