“My officers were on patrol and realized the situation, we tried hard as a unit but still could not manage the situation but with the right materials such scenes will not trouble us again”. He said
Plz your use of English is disgusting, much as you report the right thing. Improve on this coz you are lowering our dignity as a county. This région is known for perfect English.
I salute you countymates.. much appreciation for the report. However, your report would taste much better if you take grammar into consideration lest this give wrong image of the county.As a teacher of English from the county, I’m particularly concerned with the level of grammatical mistakes evident in the piece.. I may as well offer a helping hand.This may liquidate and send us back to zero.In a nutshell, this work leaves bad taste in the mouths of lovers of language(Linguists). All in all, we dispense much gratitude.
