Asked by Kim

In my essay I wrote "doing lots" in a sentence and my teacher wrote me back feedback saying it was colloquial , how can I correct /change this and what can I use instead?
Thanks :)

What is the whole sentence?

Answered by Kim
He is capable of doing lots with his physical ability but relies on the support of George in his life.
Answered by Reed
"doing a lot..." "...doing lots of things..." ...dong a lot of things by himself..."
Answered by Reed
Better yet: "...doing many things..."
Answered by Kim
She doesn't want me to use that. For example she also said I had to change the word "handle " since it was colloquy a and I changed it to manage.
Answered by Kim
Colloquial **
Answered by Ms. Sue
Where did "handle" come from?

Answered by Kim
That's another example in a different sentence in my essay. I already changed it , I need something to replace "doing lots"
Answered by Ms. Sue
What about Reed's ideas?
Answered by Reed
Kim, think about what it means, "doing lots..." Doing what? You intend to be general about it, not listing things he can do, but "lots" doesn't say much at all. Just think about it. Look it up in a thesaurus on line. Type the words "many -- synonomyms" into your browser and see what comes up! :)
