My Writing Profile

582 Words2 Pages

During my school years, I have been assigned lots of writing to do. At the start, I found great difficulty in putting my thoughts on paper, yet by practice, one gets to improve his abilities. One never stops learning as long as he lives. Moreover, practice results in perfection. In my past school years I have received many writing tasks, in addition, I gradually improved in each of them. There are various differences between my work in each stage of my life, example, the work I have done in the past, work in the present and what I intend to do as a writer in my future.

As for my past, I had various writing assignments that my teachers asked me to do, such as character analysis essays, persuasive essays, and compare and contrast essays. Many of these essays I have truly enjoyed, such as the persuasive essay, however others, I really struggled at, such as the character analysis. Furthermore, I had others that I was at standard level at them, yet, they needed a lot of improvement in many ways. Last year, as for memorable things that teachers told me, was that I had a lot of trouble in the thesis statement structure, which however, affected the rest of the writing. Knowing all my mistakes now, moreover getting more advice this year, I hope that I will make huge progress.

As for the present, during writing an essay I usually jot down my ideas on a piece of paper, next I prepare a peaceful environment, which I could easily get out my concentration, which is usually on a suitable desk in my room. The surrounding that I must have to write, is a well lighted room, where I am all alone without any distracting noise. I start off buy having a scrap paper where I do all my jotting notes at and mainly the first and second draft of the essay. Yet, that is easier for me as I could simply correct any mistake and use reference guides such as the dictionaries which also helps me in spelling mistakes and thesaurus for developing good word choice, lastly I write it on the keyboard neatly. When I think of going for advice, the first thing that comes on my mind is asking the teachers, as they are the number one choice to help you out.

I now understand many things that my high school teachers have done a poor job demonstrating and i am grateful that i decided to take my own route in my education instead of their syllabus.

  • My Challenges As Bilingual Writer

    798 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing has been part of my life ever since I learned how to spell my first words. As I use the writing process I had to evolve and learn grammar, orthodoxy, and punctuation. I learned all this in my language which is Spanish. The writing rules are very different in different languages and after having an idea on how to write in English, I always refer back to what I learned in my early years. As I write in English I have faced many challenges to include learning to think in English before I write. I am use to think in Spanish and therefore the words flow as a river with minimum effort on my part. I have tried to think in Spanish, translate my thoughts and then writing in English but has proven to be the most difficult process to follow. As I wrestled with the idea of writing in English and learning to think in English, my writing has become better with each assignment. As I reflect on how my writing has evolved, it is my intention to compare how the different tools and genres of writing had helped me write academically papers and how I expect to continue to better myself for mu future, even after I graduate from college.

    Ever since I was a child I have loved reading interesting literature. The very first books I recall picking up as a child were the stories of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. I got them as a Christmas present and I remember thinking how lovely it would be to actually understand the words that were printed onto the paper. So I started teaching myself how to read, with a little help from my mother of course. Every time I had figured out how to pronounce a new word, I would run of to my mother so that she could explain the meaning of the word.

  • My Strength and Weakness in Composition Writing Class

    My first writing weakness was deciding what to write about. I had to read the essay topic over and over again to understand what it was asking for. I would worry that I wouldn’t understand the topic correctly. While writing the essay I was scared to get out of topic and write about something else I wasn’t supposed to write about. Another thing that would happen to me was that suddenly my mind would go blank and wouldn’t be able to think about what else I could write about. The essay I liked writing the most this semester was the second essay. I enjoyed making my own planet and how my alien had a quest with all the commercials I saw on the TV. The hardest essay I wrote this semester was the fourth and last essay. I got confused when I was writing the body paragraphs. This writing weakness impacted my life by showing me that I have trouble thinking about how I could write my essays. I think I should start reading books and maybe I could get a few ideas out of those books.

    The classroom is filled with soft whispers and chatter from the students. The soft noises are drowned out by the teachers booming voice reading a book out loud to the class. It feels as though the teacher finds a reason to stop every two seconds to explain what is going on. I roll my eyes and tune out her voice while continuing to read ahead. ‘We are juniors in high school, we know how to read.

    Dear Professor Heller, At the start of the semester, I had made a personal goal for myself which was to improve my English verbal and writing skills. I feel after working on different essays, writing pieces and finally the research paper, I have learned a lot and have become a much better writer. Over the last few weeks, I have also felt that I have accomplished my goal of becoming better at my English verbal skills as I made it a point to practice a lot as English is not my first language and I have always struggled with proper pronunciation and grammar.

    Going to the computer and finding reliable and quotable sources. When writing these essays in school the teachers I had also made us keep track of every source and turn in information on every source that we used in the research phase of developing papers. I prefer to do a lot of research and pick which sites or articles I want to include, not turning in evidence of this because I then stress more about achieving the deadline and less about the content I am gathering. Once I obtain the information, I can usually get the paper done quickly but it is just the process of gathering the information that I want to use. Developing the paper is easier after the leg work is done.
