English as a second language
English is not the first language is 'the' reason why I decided to include this post in the series PNG Students Blogging Guide’.
From experience, English as a second language comes with some levels of difficulty when thinking and writing in it.
Obviously, many students in PNG also have English as a third or even fourth language!
So, it is important to use tools and aids that are now available to make writing appealing to teachers and other readers.
Using the free version of Grammarly is one way you can polish your writing and CV/resume and make readers admire your work.

As mentioned earlier and also in Part 2 of ‘PNG Students Blogging Guide’, Grammarly is easy to use. Use your email, Gmail or social media accounts to open a Grammarly account.
There are two ways to use it: as an add-on on Chrome browser or saved URL in the ‘favourite’ folder and use it when you need it.
When you have opened an account, simply copy your work and paste it into the Grammarly task-pane. Spelling and Grammar checks will automatically show the stats of errors and suggest corrections to be made. That’s it!
