Editing & Revising
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The food at the restaurant was nice and we liked it a lot.
Rewrite: The crispy tacos and tangy salsa at the restaurant delighted our taste buds.
2. Fix the sentence:
She went down the hallway fast because she was late for class.
Rewrite: She sprinted down the hallway because the tardy bell was about to ring.
3. Fix the sentence:
The weather was bad and it made everyone feel sad and stuff.
Rewrite: The freezing rain hammered the windows, leaving everyone huddled in gloomy silence.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Using strong verbs like "dashed" instead of "went" makes your writing more vivid.
2. Words that appeal to the five senses are called sensory details.
3. Replacing "thing" or "stuff" with a precise noun is part of revising for word choice.
4. A thesaurus is a reference book that lists synonyms and helps writers find stronger words.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why is the sentence "It was a good day" considered weak writing? Suggest a stronger version.
The sentence is weak because "good" does not tell the reader anything specific. A stronger version is "The warm sunshine and surprise pizza party made it the best Friday of the whole year."
2. How can a thesaurus help you during the revising step of writing?
A thesaurus helps by offering synonyms so you can replace overused or vague words with more precise ones. For example, you might replace "happy" with "thrilled" or "delighted" to better express the feeling.
