Writing helped me understand the ideas that were swirling around in my head and gave them substance. I often use writing to settle the rage within myself no matter the topic I always stay true to writing with internal purpose. Writing something down on paper is much easier for me, it’s as though my hand leads my thoughts. It’s wonderful to escape, and through writing, I get that feeling. If it were not for me taking speech and being given the assignment to write about something that affected my life

‘WRITE EVERYDAY’ it is a common advice. Indeed writing is an important and inescapable part of our daily life. When a person learns how to write daily, a whole world of possibilities open for him.

Writing is something which is enduring, it always leaves an impact on others. It makes thinking visible. Writing daily makes you seem more professional and genius

As a native speaker of Chinese, I learned how to read and write Chinese when I was four. The first word I could recognize was my name. My grandfather told me how to write it correctly. He had a really beautiful handwriting, so I was impressed and picked up a pencil immediately. I just imitated what he did and drew what he had on the paper, which turned out to be very different from the original version and hard to recognize. I asked, “Why should I write my name?” He answered with smile, “You need

Despite its importance, writing is not given enough attention in schools compare to reading. Since the turn of the 21st century, “there have been a number of significant changes in the contexts in which we teach and in which our students learn to write”. Our culture has taken a digital shift in all aspects of life, including schooling and the way students are exposed to writing curriculum.

I didn’t have. Now you may be asking why I waited until the day before graduation to begin writing my speech. Well, this was mainly because I had no idea on how to write a speech. I knew a graduation speech needed to be influential and motivating. It’s when you reminisce on all the special moments you’ve shared with your classmates. I understood the purpose of a graduation speech. However, writing one was a whole different story. I didn’t want to stand up in front of my friends and family and

Apart from the evolutionary advantage of the societal bonds that it creates and enforces, literature is just yet another channel for humans to channel its unusual knack for creativity.

Final Exam During this semester, I learned more about writing than I have throughout my whole high school career. The first thing we really covered was parallelism and that was probably the most used topic in all of our writing. To be completely honest I think this was the first time I had ever heard about parallelism and I still have no idea how to use it. We really focused on comma placement because in the beginning we were all just putting commas in random places, but now I feel as a whole we

writing is the physical manifestation of a spoken language. It is thought that human beings developed language c. 35,000 BCE as evidenced by cave paintings from the period of the Cro-Magnon Man (c. 50,000-30,000 BCE) which appear to express concepts concerning daily life. These images suggest a language because, in some instances, they seem to tell a story (say, of a hunting expedition in which specific events occurred) rather than being simply pictures of animals and people. Written language, however
