Hi! My name is Megane and, I am going to study Interior Design in Montreal next semester. I am currently doing my basic classes and then, I will complete three years in this program. For those who do not know what interior design exactly is, it consists of creating aesthetic and functional spaces in houses or buildings. I will follow different courses in this program such as computer assisted drawing classes, some material, colour and lighting classes and multiple architectural classes. Some career path in this field that would interest me are working in an architect office, self-employed or working with bigger societies to create templates for apartment buildings or restaurant chains.

After graduating, it is a strong possibility that you have to send emails to clients. However, to keep your credibility, those emails need to be professional and without any mistakes.

When you have multiple clients, it may take a while to make sure every single email is error-free. It is also possible that you rush it and forget some spelling errors. Those mistakes will most likely be noticed by the client, and, they may stop taking you seriously or even become uninterested in working with you.

Imagine that you have ten clients to message in a day, you would have to take a huge amount of time to correct your errors and lose time in your actual design work.

If this situation happens, I will present what to do at this moment to gain some time.

To save time, I will introduce you to a website we have been shown in our English class. You will start by opening your browser and finding the address bar, for me, it is in the middle at the top of my screen. Then, you will type Virtual Writing Tutor and you will click on the first research that appears. After that, you will click on the first link listed on Google. You are now on the main page of the website.

This website can assist you in many ways. To begin with, in the top left corner, you can see the logo. This logo can also be clicked on in order to go back to the main page of the site. To continue, in the center of your page, you will find a text area. At the bottom right-hand corner of this text box, you can see a speaker. This text to speech button will allow you to listen to your message and see if it makes sense. Directly at the left of this button, you will find a microphone icon. This button allows you to register your voice and write your message automatically without you having to type anything. This option can make your work so much easier and faster!

At the top of this same text area, you will find a navigation menu where you can see multiple different options to use for your text. In this case, we are writing emails, so the most important buttons are the "Check Grammar" and "Writing Advice" options, both on the left side of the menu.
Firstly, pressing the "Check grammar" button will find the errors in your text and show them to you, using red text, like so:
Secondly, pressing the "Writing Advice" button will give you suggestions on how to improve your writing. Here's an example:

So, let's say you need to talk to a client about a color scheme you've made for their bathroom. To save time, you can start by recording your text using the microphone button at the bottom right-hand corner. After recording your voice, Virtual Writing Tutor will write your text automatically and then, you will be able to copy and paste it into your email. By the way, a color scheme is a planned combination of colors designed to complement each other visually.

Another way to save time is to correct an email you wrote by using the "Check Grammar" button in the navigation menu, such as shown earlier. For example, you want to send emails to multiple clients in order to receive plans of their building envelopes. You would write your paragraph(s) and copy and paste it into the text area on Virtual Writing Tutor. Afterwards, you will click on the "Check Grammar" button in the navigation menu. This button will allow you to see your errors. After scrolling down and checking the feedback, you will be able to correct your mistakes and then, copy and paste the corrected text into each of the emails you want to send. You could also use the "Improve Writing" button on the left of the navigation menu, to receive some writing advice if you are not sure that your text is a hundred percent correct. For those who don't know, a building envelope is the shell of a building, such as fixtures and equipment consisting of its exterior walls or windows.

So, this is how Virtual Writing Tutor website works! I hope this tutorial was helpful, whether you are an interior designer or not!

I strongly suggest that you to test this website and see if it is useful to you! Have an amazing day and thank you for watching.
