To begin with, the author writes, “I've found that
people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test
also make fewer mistakes when they are doing
something completely unrelated to writing —
like stocking shelves or labeling parts.”
Some companies have applicants take a grammar

In addition, Weins writes, “Applicants who don't think
writing is important are likely to think lots of other
(important) things also aren't important.”
Almost all jobs require the applicant to be able to
write using proper grammar. Employees have to be
able to write well. The ability to write well shows that
they can pay attention to details.
Lastly, the author writes, “...if job hopefuls can't
distinguish between ‘to’ and ‘too,’ their applications
go into the [trash] bin.”
Applicants must have a resume that has proper
grammar usage. If they have mistakes on their
resumes, they often aren’t even considered for
the job.
In conclusion, when applying for a job, good grammar
is essential, as outlined in the article “I won’t hire
people who use poor grammar” by Kyle Weins.
The C begins with a transition. It lists the
first quote that supports the answer. Notice
it doesn’t explain the quote. That is what
your E is for.
The E explains the C (the quote). In this case it
explains that good grammar is important
because some companies give a grammar
test. Your E must be at least two sentences!
The next C begins with a transition. It lists
the second quote that supports the answer.
Notice that it doesn’t explain the quote. That
is what you do in the E!
The E explains the C (the quote). In this case it
explains the importance of being able to write
with proper grammar. Your E must be at
least two sentences!
The C begins with a transition. It uses
another quote to support the answer. Notice
that it doesn’t explain the quote. That is
what you do in the E!
The E explains the C. In this case it explains
the importance of proper grammar on a
resume. The E must be at least two
sentences!
The D must begin with a transition! It must
re-state the A in a different way. It should
only be one sentence. Never begin with
“That is why” or “This is why!” Notice how
the D rearranged the words from the A and
used the word “essential” instead of
“important.”
