how to punctuate

Actually,before i read this article,i didn't concerned too much
about punctuation because it's not a difficult work.
period means end,comma means connection,semicolon,quotation mark and so on.
however,this article gave me how to improve my essay better.
even though i've known about the punctuation,
i've never studied about punctuation
deeply and exactly.
the author teached exact meaning of punctuation and usage.
some parts are already studied at the structure class, but other parts are new.
also,i learned we can speech more effectively by using proper punctuation.
through the speaking class, i've felt that punctations were really important.
i should know where i keep going or rest.
if i have a chance to read this author's book,i;ll focus on his puctuation work.

Thank you. That is true it is difficult to understand how to punctuate. We should learn more about that in our English studying.

I think most American college students probably don't understand how to use the less common punctuation marks, like semicolons and colons, very well.

I encourage you to notice in our readings how Pullman and the authors of the textbook use punctuation, especially the less common marks. :)

I also think that punctuations are really important. Before I read this article, I used mostly commas and periods. But as you said, other parts are new to me, so this article is really useful for improving writing, I think.
