15. One possible revision
Last weekend my family and I went on a picnic. We went there by bus. We were very excited about going.
We enjoyed our BBQ and we ate a lot of food such as chicken legs, fishballs and other meat. I said to my brother, “What are we going to do after lunch?” My brother said, “We will fly our kite and play badminton.”
Suddenly the rain started. We felt very upset. Then we went under a tree and sat.
Then later, the rain stopped. We were happy again and we enjoyed our picnic. We flew kites and played badminton. We had a lot of fun.

16. Explanation
The main problem is interpersonal, because ‘tense’ is the least well-controlled grammatical system. For example, say, start, feel, go, sit, stop, play and have should all be written in past form to express remoteness.
This is a narrative recount of the author’s past, so past tense is the correct choice. The author’s use of simple present causes confusion.

17. Explanation
Experientially there are some problems, too. Several NGs are faulty because a missing or faulty article choice (deictic). For example, went to picnic; under the tree. The choice of our was used in the revision as it made for a better deictic choice in this personal recount. The choice of the verb flew co-occurs with kite, as does the preposition on with went on a picnic. Other examples of faulty NGS are “ that what are we going to do after lunch?”

18. Explanation
Finally, the orthographic system of quotation marks to indicate dialogue is not developed and problematic here.

19. This will be on the final exam.
You will be given a text to rewrite and then analyze.
