Hi everyone, My name is David and welcome to my channel!
I’m a student in Civil Engineering Technology at Ahuntsic College, in Montreal.
In this program, we learn how to design, plan, and supervise construction projects such as roads, bridges, and buildings. We study materials, soil mechanics, structures, and project management.
After graduation, I hope to work as a site supervisor or project coordinator.
One challenge we face in this career is writing clear and professional technical reports in English. For example, we often have to report on progress, delays, defects, or safety issues. These reports must be formal, precise, and well-written.
Today, I promise to show you an effective solution that not only highlights these errors but also guides you on how to correct them.
Let me introduce you to the Virtual Writing Tutor, The Virtual Writing Tutor is a website that helps you improve your English writing and speaking.
To access it, just type virtualwritingtutor.com in the address bar of your browser.
On the homepage, you’ll see the site’s logo and a navigation menu with different tools like grammar checker, vocabulary checker, and more.
In the center of the page, there is a large text area where you can paste your writing.
Below that, you will see you’ll find icons like a microphone for pronunciation, a spell checker, and a scroll bars to explore the page.
When you’re ready, just click the submit button to check your grammar.
It’s a complete and easy-to-use tool for writing support.
Let me show you how Virtual Writing Tutor can help with a technical report.
Imagine I need to write a short section of a progress report after pouring concrete. Here’s my first draft:
“The concrete was pour on Tuesday morning. The weather was cold and the curing was slow. No major crack was observe, but some surface defect appeared. The site will be inspect again next week.”
I copy this paragraph and paste it into the Virtual Writing Tutor.
As soon as I click ‘Check Text,’ the tool scans the document, immediately highlighting areas with errors in grammar, syntax, and unclear phrasing.You can see that each highlighted error comes with suggestions on how to improve the sentence structure or word choice. I’ll now apply these corrections step-by-step, ensuring that the report becomes clearer and more professional.
That’s why I always check my writing with Virtual Writing Tutor before submitting it.
Thank you for watching this presentation and demonstration on how Virtual Writing Tutor can improve our technical documents. I hope it helps you.
