Is this OK?

Hi everybody! I need some help with this sentence. I´m not sure if it´s OK : "You´re an independent student who thinks things through for yourself." Thanks a lot! |

I would just say "You �re an independent student who thinks things through". I think the "for yourself" sounds a bit strange, maybe because it �s a bit redundant. |

It sounds fine to me. You could also change the second half to "who can work things out yourself" if you would like. |

Two good suggestions. I agree with Stephen that "for yourself" isn �t necessary with "thinks things through", since you wouldn �t think things through for other people. That �s why I hate the expression "I thought to myself", because who else would you think to? Bruce |
