Walking into senior year I knew that I would have some schedules, but when entering expository writing with Frederick I thought I was a goner.

Writing has always been my greatest weakness throughout the years that i have been in school. Since I’am a foreign, learning a language was a challenging especially when my native language is completely different than English. Even though my communication skills have been improved dramatically since I have been here in the United States, writing is the only skill that i need to improve.

Writing is the illustration of language in an exceedingly matter medium through the utilization of a collection of signs or symbols. It's distinguished from illustration, like cave drawing and painting, and non symbolic preservation of language via non textual media, like as magnetic tape audio. Writing has been with us for many thousand years, and these days is more important than ever. Having spread steadily over the centuries from clay tablets to PC chips, it's poised for additional dramatic advances
