I am surprised for my performance on this GTW because I only have two errors in total and none of them is a global error. However, I keep having same error from the first GTW, even in the latest GTW: word choice. I believe word choice has become an annoying for my writings because it appears again and again in my writing. Though it is not a serious problem for the whole writing, it reflects the problem that I have the wrong definition for wordings, or I can’t determine the appropriate words for the sentences. Totally, I have a weak word bank, which means I need to expand my understanding on more
Tony Hoagland’s poem, Special Problems in Vocabulary, discusses the faults of the English language. The speaker of the poem continually states how there are many feelings and situations that do not have words to describe them. Whether it is positive or negative, the speaker explores how humans often come to a loss for words, and have trouble communicating their thoughts. Through the use of a repetitive structure, diction, and shifts, the speaker discovers the significance of a loss of words.
When you hit your daily word-goal, stop. Stop even if you’re in the middle of a sentence. Especially if you’re in the middle of a sentence. That way, when you sit down at the keyboard the next day, your first five or ten words are already ordained, so that you get a little push before you begin your work. (Doctorow) He then says that when you are actually sitting down to work, you need to stop researching. One of the easiest ways to get sidetracked while working is by getting distracted by information that isn’t important for your assignment, but seem relevant at the time. Set aside specific time for research so you don’t end up procrastinating when you should be working. Another tip Doctorow gives is to remember not to get distracted using your word processor. Doing things like playing with the font or debating over which color your words should be in will only kill valuable time. Turning off your cell phone and ignoring social media notifications is also a great way of making sure you don’t end up wasting your own time.
A word wall for scientific vocabulary can be created for courses like Chemistry, Physical Science, Earth Science, and Physics core classes. For example, in chemistry a word wall for physical changes, chemical change, and periodic table vocabulary can be constructed by the students. For Physics, words like speed, velocity, kinetic energy, and potential energy can be posted on the wall for a lesson on forces and motion to help facilitate the acquisition of academic terminology for ELL learners in the field of science. Also concepts that are opposite to each other like strong/weak, long/short. Hot/cold, soft/hard, ect. allows students to develop critical thinking skills required for comparing and contract analysis.

Law enforcement officers across the country have undergone extensive training and have been entrusted with powers to protect the public. They have every right to remain vigilant in conducting their job to ensure their safety as well as the publics. They are authorized to conduct specific types of searches with out a warrant and three types of searches are: plain view search, consent to search, and stop and frisk. We will look at each type of search closer and attempt to throughly describe each. A plain-view search is a tool an officer can utilize to legally confiscate or seize a specific item. This type of search requires the officer: to view the item while he or she is in the immediate area, recogize and realize the item can be seized,
I have 45 phrase/words, and using the program, I made the words into the shape of a sword. The words all relate to character, theme, setting, etc. I then proceed to explain what the words mean in relation to the story. For example, “darkness” might mean “an area not exposed to sunlight” but in thes story it's totally
When writing, the writer must use the correct word choice for what they are meaning to say. The reader must be able to interpret the meaning. An example of not being able to interpret the meaning would be using the medical terminology such as cholecystectomy when speaking with a patient. The patient has no clue what you are talking about; but if you say gallbladder out, they would be able to interpret the meaning.
To begin with, in college writing, understanding the impact that words can make is crucial, knowing the definition of the words one is using will not only make one's writing more efficient but ideas are clearer to the writer as well as the audience, that’s why a wide vocabulary is important. Using wrong words can make or break a paper, even if one might think they are the same. For example, having been a personal translator many times, it's important to be able to know and understand the meaning of the words to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation, even the absence or change of a word can give way to an entire different meaning. A large vocabulary gives people a wider choice every time a specific word is needed. Vocabulary is freedom and although one
As a student that has taken RWS 100 and currently RWS 200 with Professor Rhonne Goodman, I have been able to analyze her teacher style and conform to what she wants from her students. One of the main advantages of taking this course is that Mrs. Goodman tells you exactly what she wants in your writing and the exact structure to follow. If you follow this structure and put the effort and time needed to write a solid paper you are guaranteed a positive outcome. On the contrary, one difficulty I face when writing these essays is being too redundant at times by using the same sayings and words. I believe that my main difficulty for our 3rd paper will be choosing a topic for my argument that has a plethora of great research to support my position.

A majority of current and incoming fourth grade students struggle with solving word problems accurately. Students have difficulty with word problems mostly based on lack of reliable strategies and poor language interpretation. While fact fluency may be present, the ability to interpret vocabulary to guide computation leaves many students unable to construct mathematical models to interpret or solve problems. Students have difficulty in analyzing real-world scenarios by using different problem-solving approaches.
Although vocabulary is the sub-skill of a language, it plays a very important role in language learning and teaching. In fact, vocabulary is central to language and is of paramount importance to language learners. On the other hand, words are the building blocks of a language that are used to label objects, actions, and ideas. In other words, people cannot convey the intended meaning without knowing vocabulary. It is widely accepted that vocabulary is a very important part in English language learning because no one can communicate in any meaningful way without vocabulary. As McCarthy (1990) stated, the single, biggest component of any language course is vocabulary. Nation (1990) also affirms that vocabulary can be considered as the most important element in language learning because Learners think that many of their

First of all, you need to build vocabulary. Building vocabulary involves learning the meaning of the words, their spelling, and pronunciation. Unlike in English, each word has a gender in many languages like French, Spanish, and German. You need to memorize the gender of a word in order to use it correctly. You also need to learn the conjugations of verbs and adjectives. That is where you cross the border between the vocabulary and grammar.
The use of grammar has been my weakness on most of my papers. Since I start taking courses in Montgomery College, I have been working hard on my grammar usage. Although I have made some improvements, I still struggle with using the preposition and having missing words. Missing words are my main struggle throughout the course. For instance, on the Nature essay, before the draft due, I proofread it, and went to writing center a couple times; however, I still had some missing words on my paper that my instructor point out. Although I tried super hard to get the concept of it, I still have the difficulty of missing words on my essays. However, When I did the revisions, prof. Michael comments really helped me to see what I did wrong. My other area
