Dear Rene,
I like your use of the semicolon, especially within the context where it was utilized.
I am not too “eager” of using semicolons; maybe, as a result of my quiz, I will begin to build my confidence and use it a little more!
Hi Rene,
It is a short and well written paragraph. To me you have used semicolon correctly. You have used it in a good place in your paragraph; it makes your piece even better.
