The Problem
Let me explain the problem. You are at the office, and you need to send an important email to your manager saying that you can’t come to work. You have sent an email full of errors and you didn’t correct them.
In this situation, If we don't get that right, this could happen. There are a lot of mistakes in your email, so you can lose credibility. Moreover, it doesn't look very professional, and it can affect the reputation of your company.
For instance, suppose that you need to inform your supervisor about the reason why you can’t show up at the office. You want to explain it in your letter about how it is going to be.
But don't worry, I have found the solution. In the next few minutes, I'll show you exactly how to stop doing errors in your emails.
The Quest
Well, to solve this wonderful problem, there is a website called the Virtual Writing Tutor that can help you to get rid of it. First, open your web browser. Then, type this URL VirtualWritingTutor.com in the address bar and hit enter. If you typed the URL correctly, you will see this logo in the top left-hand corner of the screen and the navigation menu right under it.
In the top right-hand corner, there are some icons that represent all the different sharing possibilities. In the middle of the screen, it’s the text area. As you can see, here we have some instructions. (Type, speak or copy-paste your text here.) In the bottom right-hand corner of the text area are a series of icons to help you with your pronunciation. In order to correct your text, there are buttons just above the text area (Word Count, Check Grammar, Score Essay, etc.) Beside the Logout button, you have the setting’s menu.

It can eliminate all the possible errors in an email before sending it to someone. For today's example, I am going to use a short text that I have written before. I will paste it in the text area of the website. After, you need to see if you made any grammar errors. To do so, click on the button " check grammar ". Then, it will automatically scroll down to show you the mistakes you’ve made, the correct explanation and the corrected word.
