Hi,
I am a budding writer and trying to find my feet in this industry. I write blog posts, which are totally a personal thing. But my problem is rather different. I am earning through MyLot. I also write for Microworkers as the jobs are available. The other day I had written a 1000 word article in 4 hours and earned $4. The article was, of course, accepted. But when I applied for GetaFreelancer and did some writing jobs, I got the responses that some article contained structural errors otherwise, grammtically they were ok. I really found it hard to recognize how the mistakes happened. I am really disappointed with this. And I am losing on my efforts as well as money too. Please help me, what should I do to improve? Is there any such software that would help me in this regard. PLEASE RESPOND SOON. I REALLY NEED ALL YOUR HELP.
"There are some girls too, who do not like especially, the boys harassing them."
"Having your daughter in London boarding schools for girls at an early age might help parents in curbing their daughter’s behaviour going haywire."
These sentences were not up to the mark, I was told. Can you please correct them?

Hi Abhi,
I think the best way is to keep it simple.
I don't know the context but will try to rephrase the two sentences.
I don't think any girl will like a boy harassing her! So using some is not correct as it means some girls like getting harassed!
So you can change it to:
'Girls do not like boys who harass them' or
'Girls do not like intimidating boys, especially those who harass them'
And,
'Having their daughter in a London boarding school (from a very early age) might help parents in curbing her behavior going haywire.
Their might be others who can rephrase those sentences better. I just tried to simplify.
Happy Mylotting!

I haven't tried any writing online coz I'm afraid my works will be rejected like yours. Anyway I'm not so good with them, that's my second reason. I heard GetaFreelancer is very strict with the grammar and the everything. Why don't you try other sites like expertinn? It's a legit site and you can write blogs or anything and it approved them immediately. They are not so strict with grammars and no one will correct your content. You just need to submit and submit till you reach the payout.

Hi,
It is not possible for others to correct these sentences without going through the previous sentences (Just to catch the actual meaning). Anyway, these sentences you typed in this discussion do not have any grammatical problem according to me. But, for web readers it is important that you write in simple sentences. All the web readers are not the best in English, so simpler the sentences, easier it is for them to understand.
I hope I helped.
Regards.

I'm not an expert at this , but here are the corrections I would make.
"There are some girls who do not like boys harassing them".
"Having your daughter in London boarding school for girls at an early age, might help their behavior from going haywire".
Hope that helps.
So you can avoid this problem don't make long and complicated sentences..@abhi_bangal (5524)
