When you’ve finished working on your text, check it over one last time - to see if there’s anything you should or would like to change. Use the following as a guide.

1 Read the text to yourself. Does it make sense or is there anything missing?

2 Have you divided the text into separate paragraphs?

3 Is there an introduction with a    thesis, a main body and a conclusion?

4 Does the title or heading match the text?

5 Do the structure and choice of vocabulary match the genre?

6 What does your text require -   formal or informal language?
         Make sure not to mix the two.

7 Check the use of linking words. For example: To begin with .... In addition       .... In conclusion ...

8 Check the use of verbs. For example, the -s form, the use of tenses.

9 Check punctuation and capital    letters.

10 Check spelling.

11 Check overall grammar. For example, the use of tenses, articles,
         prepositions, pronouns and adverbs.
