Liszt is an interesting choice Angeline. Are you a pianist? Unfortunately most of his piano music is too difficult for me, but I love listening to it!

Angeline,
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you have organised this chronologically.
In the second paragraph, could you make the sentences sound more natural and flow better by using linkers to join the short sentences together?
Maybe the concluding sentence could be worded to ' Although Liszt left this world hundreds of years ago, his composition are still people’s favorite pieces at all time.' Remember if you have 'although', you don't need 'but' as well.
You've worked hard on this course and improved a lot - well done! Did you manage to find Swan and Walter's How English Works? It will help you to get some more grammatical accuracy.
Good luck at Sunway!
Yes. I'm going to get those books.
ReplyDeleteI will work hard in Sunway. Thank you!
