How To Improve My Writing

Throughout the progression of this course I learned countless things concerning my writing. {Simkin, M. G., Crews, J. M., & Groves, M. J. (2012). While it’s there’s a many amounts of things ‘ve learned throughout the course, there are several things I‘ve learned which include the step by step process, including the correct usage of grammar and properly proofreading my work before I turn it in. I found out i had a major problem with my punctuation usage and insufficient when it came my periods and commas. I’ve invested some time writing through grammarly and other helpful sites to improve my writing skills. I appreciate the assistance and help I received from Mrs. C

When I was a small child, I didn't like writing unless I was writing something I wanted to. As a result, most of my school work was done half-heartedly, because they were all research projects that we had to do. I didn't have any issues with my writing, and my handwriting was pretty good at my age. My favorite books were the Harry Potter series. I thought I was pretty cool to be able to read such a long book, so I bragged some to my friends. The only topic I liked to write about was fantasy. In second grade, my mom made me start writing every day in a wide ruled journal, so I wrote a story about the Legend of Zelda, a video game I liked. I wrote about it every day for a long time, maybe a year, until I kinda gave up, and wrote the last page

After this semester of English 102, at Bristol Community College I feel that I have gained the skill to articulate what I want to convey to the reader in many ways. I don’t just look at grammatical error, but instead I look for ways to make my sentences more effective and concise. Nevertheless, I hope that this strategy will continue to help me improve my writing even further on in the future.

Writing Is a kind of typing symbols, letters and other writing tools to help the writer communicate with the reader or connect his ideas. It is the fourth skill in language skills and the most one that needs creation and imagination. In this essay, I am going to write about the importance of developing writing.

My history as a student is not great; I had a lot of ups and downs frequently. I used to have problems staying out of trouble. Also my concentration wasn’t ever any good either so my ability to pay attention was not good either. My grades were barely passing and some were failing grades. I went through high school behind on my credits and not taking school as serious as I should as I should of. My discipline record in the past wasn’t good either; I always would get suspensions and detentions for my actions.

As I finished my first semester of college, I was super excited and thrilled when I realized not once did I have to write a paper for any of my classes. There were some paragraphs and summaries here and there but they were pretty standard. When I realized that I was going to have to take Rhetoric 105, a writing course, I freaked out not because there would be a lot of readings but because of the writing expectations. Obviously, I am a decent writer if I was able to get accepted to multiple universities and get good grades throughout my writing career. Yet there is still this nervousness whenever I realize I have to write a paper. I have multiple struggles and strengths when it comes to writing. One of the struggles I face every time it comes to writing a paper is actually getting

Considering English is my second language, my writing and communication skills are decent . From my perspective, my advantage is grasping the main idea and developing innovate concepts. Normally, I think deeply and deliberate wholly before expressing my opinions since I read a lot in psychology and communication in order to be a businessman. However, my weakness is obviously on vocabulary, grammar and original English expression. Positively, I believe that I am improving my

As an accounting major, my writing is expected to be professional. What my coach would expect from my writing is to be clear and concise. It should not have any grammatical or spelling mistakes. It should also allow my coach to identify the person I am, through my writing. It should also be as accurate as possible and the information should be to the point. Other than that, it should be readable and easy to understand. Last but not least, my writing should be polished.

I sat and stared at the blank screen in front of me. It was as blank as my mind. I dragged my mouse across the screen deleting my work for the eleventh time. We had been given a writing assignment in English two weeks ago. At first it didn’t seem like a hard assignment, I had never had problems writing before, but here I was, head in my hands stuck with writer’s block. I closed the blank word document, then my laptop. At least Mr. Johansen doesn’t have a due date for things, I thought. When he told us this at the beginning of the trimester, I knew it would be a problem for me because I am a procrastinator. I looked at my alarm clock and read the big red boxy numbers, 12:43. Well at least I will be able to get some sleep, I thought to myself

I have noticed in my writing especially, the overuse of commas. It is very hard for me not to use them. I feel as if they are very necessary sometimes. I also have quite a few bad phrase's. I am so used to writing this way and I have never had a lot of feedback. This class has especially helped me understand just how terrible of a writer I can be. I encourage everyone to triple proofread everything. I believe with the Internet and text messages, and the overuse of information we commonly make these errors more now than ever before. We are so quick to type out a message and send it instead of reading it and really understanding if it is grammatically correct. I know now how important it is to reread everything I send in any form not only in

It’s less than a year since my family and I migrated here in Canada and I have gone through all sorts of things already. I started attending school 2 weeks after arriving from the Philippines and the school is already halfway through the semester. I had a lot of catching up to do but it is not that hard since I already learned the lessons before. Everything went well until the new academic year started. I thought I already know a lot about the lesson but then I realized I only very little.

There are many different things a person can do to improve their skills as a writer. Some are as simple as read more and write a lot. A good strategy that I use is to write down all of my ideas as soon as I think of them. Having these written down helps because they can inspire me and help me go directly into writing. That blank piece of paper staring at you may be intimidating, but don’t think about it, just start writing. A really good way to improve your writing skills is to practice.

I am in the same boat with you when it comes to writing skills. I know I wasn’t born with it at all but I try every day to better my writing skills. It has been difficult trying to not write how I talk. When I carry on a conversation it sounds normal and correct but when you put it on paper it doesn’t quite make me look to intelligent. I also agree with you about passing on the ten tips for anyone that does any amount of writing.

This class has increased my knowledge on the aspect of college English, introducing key-points college professors expect. I have learned more grammatical key-points, improved my writing skills, learned how to peer review someone else’s paper and give good feedback, and to properly write an argumentative paper. Those key points will stick with me to enhance my success rate as I further my education in English.

My biggest struggle in writing would be starting my introduction because I never really know what information to add in my stating my thesis statement. Although, one way I’m trying to improve this struggle is by either adding small quotes or definitions to hook the reader and to add some info about my topic. Furthermore, one essay that I feel reflects my writing the best would be the midterm essay. I picked the midterm essay because even though it was timed I still took my time and carefully picked which examples I thought would best represent my opinions. In addition, I feel using the quote “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” by Nelson Mandela was a very powerful way to keep the reader interested. Ultimately, while I still haven’t overcome the obstacle of writing an introduction I know I’m slowly starting to find my way towards my goal of not struggling when it comes to starting my essays.
