Improving Writing
Teresa is an intern at The Trader, a local newspaper. She is studying journalism at college and hopes to get a part-time position writing for the newspaper in the summer. She was asked to write a sample article about tourist attractions in the area. When Teresa received her edited copy of her article, she was surprised at some of the comments. Her writer was not descriptive and left the reader thinking, "Why would I go there?" Additionally, she had some difficulty with parallel structure.
