Recommended: Argumentative essay language

Though my writing has improved it still needs a lot of work. My writing skill is not where I would like it to be. English is the hardest class for me and I often find myself being surprised by my grades as I try to work very hard on my essays. My essays are often confusing and don't normally make a clear point. I am general not very pound of my essays as I can see how someone would be confused by my work. I know that my essays are often atrocious, but I am not sure how to communicate my thoughts into clear and cleanly cut sentences. My essays don't seem to have a specific topic even though I try to communicate one. They tend to veer of course and lose their point. The reader becomes board from the monotone points in which the evidence

  • The Skill of Writing

    Writing and reading are two essential skills that we need to have in order to succeed in any field of study that we have chosen. Without these two we would not be here, wouldn’t be writing right now and would be considered the lowest class of our society. There are different aspects of writing that each of us may, or may not, excel at. Some of us are creative enough to write short stories or even novels on fiction while others, like me, are better at writing essays. To accomplish this we have all had a person to inspire us, to drive us, to get us over the hump of confidence that we need to succeed. Still to be successful we need to count on ourselves to succeed.

  • Self-Evaluation of My Writing Skills

    Regardless of all of these improvements, I know my writing is still far from perfect. My arguments still lack the emotional appeal that, if present, would make my audience consider my arguments a lot faster. My analysis still lack development because often times I just state what happens instead of explaining why. In general, I need to work on controlling my voice and tone throughout an entire essay, which can be fixed if I choose my words more carefully to make sure my diction is uniform. Despite all of this, I am satisfied with myself, I am satisfied with the ways my writing has changed, with the way my writing skills have grown. Why? Because I am learning, and I know that I will continue improving as long as I take chances.

  • Layered - Writing Reflection

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing a decent essay is as tedious, as nerve-racking, and as strenuous as constructing a layer cake from scratch. First you have to decide that you are going to tackle this feat, and that can be your biggest challenge, motivation. Then you must figure out what kind of cake batter you want to use. Collect all the ingredients to mesh together well, making one layer at a time. You throw all the layers together hoping that somehow they will come together to form a nifty design, but they don’t immediately. For now it is just a leaning tower of cake parts. So you start revising and modifying, adding toothpicks, trying to rectify the lean of the cake on one side. You coat the whole damn thing in icing, attempting to make it look better, but the first coat always turns out like a child’s Play-Doh experiment. Then you begin to refine the finite details and to make the stylistic upgrades. And finally, after hours and days, gray hairs and nausea, behold, a somewhat presentable and hopefully edible layer cake emerges.

    Overall this semester, I believe my writing in this course has been one of my strongest areas and I am excited to keep getting better at this skill. With my mother’s help during middle and high school, my papers have improved significantly and now I think I have a firm grasp on writing for various disciplines, but particularly professional settings like social work. I picked up on APA format quickly after doing MLA for several years and it now feels like second nature to me. There are certainly still formatting areas to improve upon and learn more about, but at this stage, I think I am progressing steadily.

  • My Strength and Weakness in Composition Writing Class

    I was never a person that liked to write essays. This semester I really enjoyed writing those essays and specially because I was learning new things while writing them. Some things I could do to improve my essay writing are not to wait till the last three or four days before I turn my essay in to start doing it. Another thing I will do is if I forget how to do something or about some rule in the common errors I made I will just go back to all the lessons I printed out to have as reference. I think those will help me allot. And one last thing I will do to improve my writing is to try my best not to confuse all those words I got confused. I will do my best to learn each word and its rule of where it goes so I won’t have the same mistakes I had this semester.
