I think it's important because it helps people understand what we're saying.

Teacher
Teacher Instructor

Absolutely! Misspellings can lead to misunderstandings. Let's look at some examples like 'receive' and 'recieve'. Can anyone tell me the correct one?

Student 2
Student 2

It’s ‘receive’.

Teacher
Teacher Instructor

Great! An easy way to remember is that you 'receive' things in 'e' before 'i'. That's a helpful trick! We call that an acronym: 'E-I before C' for spelling aid.

Student 3

What about 'separate'?

Teacher
Teacher Instructor

That's an excellent follow-up! It's spelled 'separate', which many confuse with 'seperate'. Remember that it contains 'pare' in the middle, which is a great mnemonic to help.

It can make the writing look unprofessional.

Teacher

Exactly, and it can also confuse the reader. Let’s consider 'unforeseen'. Can someone spell that for me?

Student 2
Student 2

Is it ‘unforeseen’?

Teacher
Teacher Instructor

Right again! Many people might spell it as 'unforeseen'. As you write, try to use these words in sentences. For example, 'The results were unforeseen due to the poor weather conditions.'

Student 3

That's a good example!

For our exercise, I want you all to write sentences using five words from our list of commonly misspelt words.
