Before entering this class I thought I was a well written writer, although as I continued to come to class and work on assignments I then had realized I could use alittle improving. Writing seems to come very naturally for me because I write all the time. I tend to write poetry to express what i 'm feeling at times, it is how I ventilate what it is that I am feeling. So when thinking about topics it is not very difficult for me due to the fact that most of the time I know exactly what it is I would like to write about. Taking this class has showed me how to be a more effective writer and a more effective researcher. When writing my paper I have learned to improve by reading what I have created out loud and making sure it make since, I also have peer reviews and personal review to go back and make sure that my grammar and punctuation is where it should be.
Next, when I am conducting research I create a create charts and compare the information I have gathered. Then when it comes to organizing information I take little to know time because I am nine times out of ten very organized before even starting the assignment. In addition, when

My writing become even stronger when I add powerful pieces like quotes, pictures or even my own personal stories. I still feel as if I could learn more about rhetoric decisions although, when it comes to understand pathos, ethos, logos, and kairos I have a strong understanding. I am very aware of what my weakness and strengths is in writing. When writing I often times do identify my weakness, I feel as if my weakness are just the basic of always using first person, sometimes only seeing one side to a story, and lastly moving quickly on my work which leaves me with more error than I should have. I also see my strengths when writing which appears to be how strongly I feel about my text which allows me to keep my intended audience engaged within my
I have taken some classes on writing and have improved my writing drastically over the years. As with everything, there is plenty to improve on. My high school was a college preparatory school, so we did countless papers. One of my strengths is to be able to come up with a paper fairly quickly, but I do need to improve in some areas. Things I should improve on are word choice and sentence fluency.
Academically, I have taken eight college level courses and have been enrolled in mostly honors class since my freshmen year of highschool. However, I have always feel like there are numerous areas I need improvement on. One aspect I want to improve on is my writing skills. Throughout my entire highschool career, I have gotten comments that my essays contained awkward wording, confusing sentences, and poor grammar. Going forward I want to improve on my writing and have the essays read nicely.
“Four AP classes is a lot,” my parents warned, reading the list of courses I would take in the fall. “Are you sure you can manage that?" I felt fearless. “Of course,” I assured them. “I can handle it!”
Since I started my classes at the Montgomery College, I Have been improved my writing skills even though I would able to continue to learn the writing process well. Before I came to school, I couldn’t even write any thing. I started from American English Writing 1, but it was so hard for me to write well for many reasons. For example, I had trouble with grammar, to write organize, and to make my paragraph attractive. After a long grueling process, I have improved my writing Process.
The area that I feel that I achieved a lot of success was on knowledge convention. Due to the success, now I can use things that I find in research and put them to practice in my daily learning activities. Previously, I could not know how to get good sources and even if I found them, I was not able to apply the sources to my papers. Moreover, it has changed the way I use language as well as grammar in the papers that I do. This makes the sources to be more academic and
Now that I know how to do each step of the writing at a college level it has improved my papers significantly. I would start out by making an outline, than I would type a rough draft correcting any mistakes along the way, then I would print it off read it aloud and correct any more punctual or grammatical mistakes, after that I would correct all the mistakes on the computer and finally print and hand in. Just adding a few steps to my writing has made my essays sound more intelligent and trustworthy. However, I still need improvement on generalization, because I am a passionate writer and when I start talking about something I am passionate about, I state my opinions as
Skills such as proper grammar and MLA format still need some adjustment. Even though I have things to improve, I was still able to improve some areas of my writing skills regardless even if it was a small improvement. In the beginning, like
I want to easily start and end a story. Have better word choice and punctuation. I don’t want to be scared and worried every time I have a big writing piece for another class. I just want to overall be more confident in my writing. My expectations for myself is that I push myself out of my comfort zone for writing.
Thank you for giving me this chance to talk about my English class, it was very excited to be a part of English 101 this quarter. We act as a family in this class by helping each other in writing, discussions stories and responding to each other. To be honest, I worked very hard this quarter and I focused more on my English class rather than other classes I had taken in SFCC. Writing is something not easy when it comes to my mind, because I am an international student and it is a differencet from my writing style and English writing style, so I should separate between them. I would not say writing English assignment is very hard for me, but I mean I make some mistakes.
Whether I now focusing on my strengths or overcoming my weaknesses, the main and most valuable piece overall is I enjoying writing. I love the thought that my words and opinions matter. Moreover, my words and writing may not matter to a huge amount of people or make a difference in the world, but it does make a difference to me. I will continue to grow as a writer; however, I will have struggles and hardships that I will overcome.
Assignment VI I opened my backpack, and pulled out a moldy book. It was covered in a yellow slime, with black spots splattering its previously crisp pages. The corners were moist and some pages were unreadable. The worst part was, it wasn’t mine. I had gone to the library, a few days before, to borrow a book about programming.
Childhood is considered to be the time from when children: are born, through their teen years, and up until adulthood. During such time children should live free from fear, safe from violence and feel protected by their parents, especially their father; but that wasn’t my case. I was eight. My Dad was 43, and the roles of father and son, felt to me like they had reversed. The childhood every kid dreams of having (at least that is what I thought) was taken from me.
Sitting on her bed, Emma stared down at her watch. It was the same watch given to everyone at birth. One that counted down to the moment she was going to meet her soul mate. Because most people met their soul mate by the time they were eighteen, Emma was considered odd at her school because she was seventeen and her watch still had over three years left. “Time for another day of school,” she thought as she got up, pulled on her Harry Potter t-shirt, grabbed her neon yellow backpack, and walked out her bedroom door, curly blonde hair flowing behind.
I also learned the proper way to use commas and transitions to linked my evidence with the rest of my writing. All through I learned all of these skills, I have only scratched the surface of it. There is still way more I need to learn about sentence structure,
At least whenever I have to write I get a quick start on it then let it wait for a couple more days until I finish it the night before the due date. When it comes to my strengths of my writing I can truly say I have none. I truly believe I have the writing skills of a third grader and that would be stretching it, but I have plenty of weaknesses. I have no idea how to even start a paper without thinking about it for an hour. I always want to start a sentence with a conjunction, and if spell checker was not a thing I would be doomed forever in the eternal darkness.
