Introduction

Hi, my name is Penelope!

For those of you who don’t know about me, I have been studying Paralegal Technology for almost two years. In my program, we learn Criminal Law and Civil Law. For criminal law, we have two courses about it. The first one is called criminal law, and the second one is evidence and penal procedure. For civil law, all the other courses are about it, which is about twenty-five courses. For example, we have a contract course, a civil procedure course, and a labour Law course. When it is your last semester, there is an internship of fifteen weeks.

This program allows you to become a Paralegal, a surveyor, or a bailiff.

Like everybody, I don't want errors when I write an email for my job.

I'm not the best at writing in English, but I really want to get better at it.

My goal is to show you how to write an email without any mistake.

I guarantee you that until the end of the video, you will be able to correct your mistakes and send an email without one like me.

The Problem

When you work in a lawyer's office, sending emails is like a daily task to do, but you can't take long to type your email because you have a lot of work to do.

If you take too much time to write and correct the errors in it, this can cause you to fall behind in your other tasks and affect the work of another employee if he doesn't have the right document on time.

For example, imagine that you must be at a meeting in five minutes, but you still do not correct the mistakes in your email and you must send it before the meeting. In this situation, you would be late for the meeting.

When this happens, don't worry because I have the perfect way to solve the problem. I'II demonstrate it to you in a few minutes.

The Quest

First, type the URL " virtualwritingtutor.com" in the address bar, and you will be automatically on the website.

Before I show you how to solve your mistake problem, I will show you a little bit about the website.

First, at the top of the screen, you have the navigation menu with five accordion buttons. If you click on the one called "Writing Tools", there are several writing tools that you can use. For example, you have a Glossary Creator that may help you if someone doesn't know the lawyer's vocabulary.

In the middle of the screen, you have the text area.

In the top right corner of the screen, you have icons to share the Virtual Writing Tutor website.

In the left top corner of the screen, you can always back arrow if there is a problem.

The Solution

For the problem, I will solve, you need to be on the welcome page of the website. To come back to the welcome page, you only have to click in the left top corner of the screen on the logo.

You should see the text area.

The first step is to write your email.

When you have written the text, you click on check grammar.

After, when you go down a little, you can see the mistake you did with feedback and a suggestion to correct the mistake.

Here I have 4 errors. I can check if I understand why I have a mistake, and then I take the suggestion to replace it in the text to correct the mistake.

For example, here I wrote to informs, but I might use the base form of the verb. So, I can change it in the text and do this for each mistake.

When I'm done, I should have no errors in my text, so my email I ready to send.

The Conclusion

So, if you are in Paralegal Technology, that's how you can solve that type of problem.

I hope that was a useful video that helped you to find a way to correct your mistakes.

Thanks for watching.
