You made some good points here, such as fully explaining who you emailed, and the responses. I agree with them because it shows how the information was helpful to your topic.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is some of the vocabulary used is confusing if you don't know information about horses, therefore it's hard to understand what is trying to be explained. This post made me realize that new topics can be confusing. It made me realize this because I couldn't really understand much about the conversation. A point about this you may want to think about is adding a list of vocabulary.
