I have a request.

Hellbell

I don’t know about others but I make the effort or maybe it’s because how I was taught to write, to make paragraphs.

I cannot read a block of writing as I have Irlens syndrome it just looks like a grey mass and cannot follow any sentences.

if anyone reads this from NAS can this be addresses as a rule for us visually challenged so we can join in.

Thank you.

  • I understand what you mean, but many people were not formally taught how to write in paragraphs in school.  Unfortunate but true.  These people communicate in any way they can.

    A solid block of nine hundred words is difficult to understand, especially when the content is emotionally draining to read.

    Now, correct me if I'm wrong.  The general rules for changing paragraphs are:

    New topic.

    New time.

    New place.

    New person.

    And each paragraph should have a topic sentence, which is usually, but not always, the first one.

    My English Teacher made the whole class feel Stupid. We were in a Secondary School, rather than a Grammar, and she reinforced that. 

    I always lagged behind the rest of the class at comprehension. It wasn't until fifth year that it clicked. I got a C in GCSE English and I was over the moon.

    I never passed my English at school. Back in the old days of GCE.

    First attempt, U, ungraded.

    Second attempt, U, ungraded.

    Third attempt, D.

    Fourth attempt D.

    The stupid teachers and exam markers just didn't understand my genius.
