When I start to write a draft, I usually freewrite. I use that technique, because it was easier to me than brainstorming or following an outline. In order for me to write, I generate ideas on a scrap paper. And draw ideas from that list, the more sub ideas that come from one idea, it’s most likely that I will write about that idea. When I try to write with an outline, I tend to get lower grades, because I do exactly as my teacher tells us to write the paper, but I don’t add any tricks to make my writing style better.
As an eager learner, I often took classes that I felt would challenge me and my writing style. After taking many English courses like History of the English language and English Grammar, I wanted to learn another style of writing, which led me to journalism. The journalism program made me focus on developing my writing and researching skills to deliver reliable information. In the program we learned by doing and were expected to report both on and off campus. I was required to take an Editing course where we learned about copy editing, proofreading and basic editorial skills. In the class we would analyze articles for accuracy, libel, and tightening.

Throughout the year, my scores in writing have gone up and down but has shown a general increase. My current writing average is higher than my writing average at the beginning of the year which shows my improvement. My biggest problems in my writing have been MLA formatting, grammar mistakes, and commentary. At first, I made MLA formatting mistakes constantly with my margins, contractions, spacing, and headers. My first few writing assignments were filled with MLA formatting errors but over time, as I lost points from MLA formatting errors, I learned to avoid them. Now, I do not get marked off for MLA formatting at all. My grammar mistakes have always existed in my writing assignments but I’ve seen a slight, steady decrease in the number of
As a writer in English 102 I learned different styles and techniques when writing an essay. Even though having to transition from high school to college was really difficult to comprehend.

Hegemony and ideology started to make sense. I can understand how our society shapes these cultural studies. Especially, wealth because this power can truly change people.

The economy will go downhill because who needs a job when you have lots of money. Also, they don’t even want to bother the things concerning our economy and/ or our environment. It is why applying cultural studies outside the classroom can help understand the importance of power. The example I mention also creates

I personally enjoy writing. I always have and I, likely, always will. However, I severely struggle under certain writing conditions and prompts. For example, I found the investigation essay extremely difficult. I was largely unable to grasp how to investigate the truth behind cat erections. While I did receive an average grade of an 88%, I felt that my investigation essay was one of the worst papers I have ever wrote. In fact, I was worried I would receive a horrible grade on that essay.
When I’m starting to write, it seems there are always distractions, e.g. my Dad has the TV on loud, the dogs are barking, etc. It’s difficult to focus, and makes it next to impossible for me to concentrate on the task at hand and carry out what I have set out to do.
Speaking is one of the communication methods for people to convey their ideas. On average, people speak around 16000 words a day (Huynh). On the other hand, writing is a more formal and concise way of communication than speaking. However, a person need to practice in order to write well.
