So, what exactly is a Mistake Book? It’s a notebook where you log your language mistakes using a structured approach. Each page is divided into three columns:
•	Column 1: The Mistake – Write down the mistake exactly as you made it, whether it’s in speaking, writing, or grammar.
•	Column 2: The Correction – This is where you write the correct version of the sentence or phrase.
•	Column 3: The Explanation – Briefly explain why it’s a mistake. Keep it concise—just enough to remind you of the rule or reason behind the correction.
For example, if you wrote “I have went to the store” instead of “I have gone to the store,” the explanation might be: "Use the past participle ‘gone’ instead of ‘went’.’"

USE FEEDBACK TO BOOST CONFIDENCE & ABILITY IN THE WORKPLACE!

Giving and receiving feedback is an everyday skill that has become even more important in today’s business world when more and more people are working from home or in remote locations.

The idea that an annual performance review is the only time when feedback is needed is as outdated as Microsoft Windows 95.

So why do both employees and managers the world over dread the annual ritual of a performance review?

The answer is easy. Companies have institutionalised the giving and receiving of feedback and created a strong negative emotional response to the whole idea of having one's performance analysed. No wonder we all anticipate this moment with fear and doom.

However, when done in the right way, with the right intentions, feedback can lead to even greater success and performance. So, let BizPod share with you some tips on how and when to give feedback effectively and how to receive it constructively.
