Mistake corrections. Correct the mistakes in your essays !

Dear students, 
As you keep making the same mistakes over and over again, I think it would be a good idea for you to reflect on the mistakes you make. Let's see how it works :

- It is knowledge that a person is different to other.

- There area few things that some people can change for being better with the rest. 

- People should think what the say before to talk and not lie to your friends. 

- I think that this people don't have a personality.

- Another example of hypocritical behaviour is a person who says that he is Christian but never attend masses and never help people. 

- The government warm that smoking can kill us. 

- In my opinion, an hypocritical behaviour is the attitude that someone has when he is with other people. 

- When people tell not to smoke because it's bad for your health. 

- Also, there is hypocrisy when little kids cry. 

- It is also hypocritical to defend something about a topic, but then you don't carry out it

Well, did you reflect on your mistakes ? Maybe next time you won't make the same mistakes again.

- When does 'disgust' take over ?



Now, it's Sadness's turn ! Let's meet her and answer the questions : 
- When does Sadness take over ? 
Last but not least ! Joy  ! Here you have the questions about this joyful character !
- When does Joy take control ? - What are her qualities ?

'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away.
