[Sianel Adloniant/Adroddiad Cynhwysfawr]Well-known author Wu Danru has three master’s degrees and studied for a doctorate in history at Hunan University in China last year. On the 13th, she revealed that she had only slept for about three hours in two days because she paid someone to proofread her manuscript and she did not expect the deadline. When she was almost there, she realized that it had been dropped. He said helplessly, “This is a bit close to a fraud group already.”

In early March, Wu Danru had finished writing her doctoral thesis and hired a senior officer to assist with proofreading. She even paid a generous salary up front. However, a month later, Wu Danru had not received the proofread manuscript. “I keep encouraging her during this time, and she said No problem, but I’m very worried because I have to proofread her again myself!”

As a result, just three days before the deadline for printing her doctoral thesis, she discovered that the other party had only read a fifth of it.” And that fifth had changed most of’ the formatting I originally wrote correctly. into the wrong one (This is the most speechless)”, she didn’t understand why the other party would lie to her that she had already done that and he said it wasn’t a problem. However, Wu Danru also thought that she was too careless and should not think that she should wait for the other party to finish proofreading before continuing to work on the second.

Wu Danru revealed that she wanted to cry a little, but she did not lose her temper and did not intend to ask for payment. She would not cooperate with such a person again. “I can’t do what I promised and have delayed other people’s youth. This is already a bit bad.” It’s close to a fraud group.”

I only slept three hours these past two days. I really didn’t expect that I would be let go like this haha.

In fact, I finished my doctoral thesis early in March, and a senior student offered to proofread it for me. I also paid a generous proofreading fee in advance, thinking it would be better to have someone help me. w proofread. Because typos in the liberal arts must be fatal, there is some wording that I hope can be consistent with the tradition of academic papers. .

The sister who graduated with a master’s degree (younger than me of course) seemed to work in a publishing house, and she looked safe.

After a month, I still encouraged her, and she said it was fine, but I was very worried because I had to proofread it again. . As a result, just three days before the deadline for printing the doctoral thesis, the answer was: after a month, she had only read about a fifth of it, and of that fifth that, most of what I originally wrote was in the correct format. Change it to the wrong one. . (This is the most speechless)

Then, I’ve promised the teacher that I’ll pass it on next Monday.

I haven’t done it at all Why did you lie to me that I had already done it and said there was no problem.

I was also careless, I thought I had to wait for her to review the manuscript before doing the second proofread. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a duplication? In fact, what I was worried about was not the problem with the article, but the inappropriate format of the notes. He very gently said that was the easiest.

In short, I have been revising and revising on the computer for over 30 hours now, working hard to proofread my own 200,000 ton paper. Besides, I found that the most time-consuming thing is correcting the mistakes he did. .

Now that it’s 95% done, I must say I learned a positive lesson:

First, people still have to have confidence in themselves. For example, when I changed thousands of comments throughout the day, I felt that I could do it correctly and well, and the format was extremely beautiful, just like a super embroidery lady.
