Hacker site review


         I found the Hacker site very helpful for me. Lots of mistakes that I have been doing all this time that I thought they were correct until I took the short quizzes. I had some difficulties in active and passive voice. I did not do very well on the quiz when I first took it until I saw the explanation and took it again; I finally nailed the rule of active and passive voice. However, there were some other easy quizzes that I have been used to them because of the everyday using. For example, the needed words topic. Without a doubt it is a very important thing to know because it organizes the way you are talking or writing, I found it easy because I have trained on it a lot in the Intensive English Center in the university last semester. An example of that is: “One value of the Internet is the amount of time that it can save”, here we do not need to use "that", the sentence is grammatically correct without it. The most helpful quiz that I took was the choppy sentences, which I really have done a lot of mistakes in. Choppy sentences are like the first draft we make for a paper, we write all the ideas at ones without organizing or picking the right sentences or words. When you know how to avoid those type of sentences, your wording will be beautiful as a final draft paper.
