How to Peer Review
At C1, we don't just look for spelling errors. We look for style, flow, and impact.
1. Structure (តើវាមានន័យដែរឬទេ?)
✓
Does the paragraph have a clear Topic Sentence?
✓
Do the ideas flow logically using linking words?
2. Style (តើវាពីរោះទេ?)
✓
Avoid repetition (Use synonyms/pronouns).
✓
Use advanced vocab (e.g., instead of "good", use "exceptional").
3. The Feedback Sandwich 🥪
How to be polite:
1. Positive: "I really liked your opening..."
2. Critique: "Have you considered changing..."
3. Positive: "Overall, it's a strong argument."
