Hi everyone,
Someone revised my essay and said the following are wrong.
There is aheating (heated) argument around (about the) admission criteria, focusing on whether academic abilities are the core requirement rather than others.
My question is:
1. Why cannot I use present participle to present a changing process. I mean the argument is becoming more and more drastic. (By the way can I use "drastic discussion"? or else how can I depict the discussion is very "hot" ?
)
2. Why cannot I use around? I want to express the meaning "having a centre in". I also find a sample in a dictionary. "she had built her life around her children" .
3. About the article. Is the article needed here? As the criteria is plural, why we need an article here?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
