I know that for your situation, you might need to do research online for such a service, or maybe they can find this service at the local school or the local library. The people asking me usually went there and got better help and were happy that they learned about this resource, some were not aware of it and some knew of it but were too hesitant or lazy to go, so with my encouragement they decided to go. I'm probably not the best person to ask for help editing a longer paper like this, go to to get help with this document. For example, my college had a tutoring center and I usually said My solution was to redirect them to resources I knew that could help them. I often got asked to review papers from my deaf peers (whose English wasn't good) during college, and I encountered the same situation as you - not having the time or energy to commit to editing larger-than-a-few-sentences documents.
This made it so my English is noticeably better than much of my deaf peers. I've worked on my English extensively thanks to my mom. I'm deaf, and American sign language is my first language. I wish her luck with her hobby, but I'm not willing to engage more in helping her to find a way to get these documents reviewed - we are not that close. My main goal is to get her to stop asking for reviewing.She's not offering to pay me and even if she was, I wouldn't want to review it anyway. I don't have the time nor the will of reviewing it.These documents are related to a hobby of hers, it's not for university or for her job.How can I politely refuse to do that and stop her from asking me to do it? Clarifications: It's been another few months, and again she's asking me to review those same 4 documents. I said I was too busy once, then I just ignored when she asked again (after a few months!).
I don't want to keep reviewing these, but I also don't want to offend her or lose her friendship. She once asked me to help her with a small text that had just about two paragraphs and I helped her, correcting the mistakes that she made.Īfter a while, she sent me 4 documents with many pages, and a lot of mistakes.
I have a friend who doesn't speak English very well.
