My strengths as a reader are the ways how I read the book. As I read through a book, I try to understand the meaning of each line, and search for the words that I do not know; additionally, I try to read and get information about the book from multiple different sources, so I could have a better understanding of the theme of the book.
My areas for improvement as a reader are speed and analyzing a content. It takes me a great amount of time to finish a book, since I tend to stop and reread the lines if I do not understand what it means. Also, I can not analyze a literature very well or notice the message that author implied in the story. Because I do not have as much experience as other people in analyzing contexts in classical literature, it takes more time for me to fully understand how each character is feeling or thinking.

I was able to learn some rules of punctuations from English 1 last year, and I practiced and read more about punctuations from various websites. Although most people are able to fix their punctuations properly, I feel good about the fact that I can do the exact same thing that other people can do.
My areas for improvement as a writer are grammar and wording. Since English is not my primary language, I have many flaws on my writing techniques. Sometimes, my sentence becomes wordy or awkward if I could not explain something what I thought. Also, I have a hard time distinguishing what or when to use proper articles in front of the noun, or what preposition should be used in front of particular phrases or verbs.
My strength as a speaker is that I mostly do not get nervous when I stand in front of people. I am not usually confident of myself before I stand up and speak; however, I usually find myself fairly calm when I stand in front of the
To be honest, I was not a good writer to begin with. I was a bad writer in my native language, and so I struggled writing in English. Sometimes, I find it difficult to put words together, even when I have the all the ideas in my minds. In my perception as a writer, I would say there are many areas that need an enhancement. And I would like to discuss about my weakness in English first.
I have many weaknesses when it comes to reading. One of my weaknesses is I am a slow reader. One more weakness I have is it is hard for me to find books I am interested in. It is also hard for me to pay attention to a book because I can’t usually find one I like. I have some strengths when it comes to reading to one is it doesn’t bother me to read in front of people.
One thing that still frightens me is plagiarism. I am afraid that I plagiarize without meaning to do so. I still have difficulty citing and placing punctuations in the right place. Citing work in my essay is always a stopping point for me, I tend to get stuck when, is time to cite a source within my essay. Also I have trouble citing at the end on the work cited page. The main concern for me is putting the right punctuation mark where they need to go.
In my future writing, I can improve by focusing on the areas that have been brought to my attention, such as fragmented sentence structures, capitalization, punctuation, and MLA formatting mistakes. I hope to enhance my writing skills through better planning, drafting, proofreading, and revising. I can become a better writer by building upon my current writing abilities and paying more attention to my
I believe my greatest weakness as a writer is that I am not very good at grammar and punctuation. When I was in high school, during my sophomore year my English teacher was not very good. She did a lot of punctuation and grammar lesions with us but most of the time she contradicted herself making things way more confusing than they really were. After that class I have
The ACT was one of the many steps I have had to take in preparing myself for college. In October I will be taking the test again and I desire to receive a score of 29 or higher. My scores were as follows: English 28, Mathematics 24, Reading 27 and Science 24. I strongly believe my reasoning for receiving such low scores was due to my lack of studying. I did not properly prepare myself for such an important test. There are multiple resources I could have used yet I wasted my time and did not take it seriously. Before retaking the test I aspire to grow in my writing by building up my strengths and knocking down my weaknesses.
When I am writing narratives, I use many different characteristics to describe the characters, and when I was watching Ted Talks and doing the chart, it made me think about the speaker’s features and how I can use them to describe my characters better. Also, I use my time efficiently I don’t fool around and talk to others. I get right to my work and complete it. I accept writing criticism very well too, I use it to improve my writing. Another strength that I have in writing is I have excellent spelling, and I punctuate very well. Likewise in writing, I also have my strengths in reading. While reading a novel, I can illustrate what is going on in the book or the story in my mind which helps me understand that story more. It helps me to ‘get into’ the book. Also, another strength that I have in reading is that I can annotate and get information out of books very well. That, coupled with the fact that I am very good at figuring out hidden messages or finding the theme of the book. Notes I take from the novel help when I am flipping back through the book to support my theme or message with evidence.
I would have to say writing and public speaking are two of my least favorite things. When I say public speaking, I mean more than myself in the room. If I am writing, I at least have time to revise my statements if I come off too harsh. My greatest strengths in writing would be that I have a very diverse background of life experience to draw from. While I really dislike writing, if I find something I am very passionate about I may make a comment on a blog or put my “two cents” in while watching a chat room. However, It would be uncommon for me to do either of those things frequently. If I had to choose a job in the writing field. I would write technical manuals or help me guides. I think technical writing is my greatest writing strength. There
Have you ever cleaned out your closet and found many items you never knew you owned? That is the way English 101 felt to me. I learned important skills and techniques that I will maintain even though the course is over. I will be constantly improving what I have learned—meaning I will work to carry about my strengths and eliminate my remaining weaknesses. English 101 has helped me grow as a reader, a writer, and most importantly a person.
When I was in high school, I really didn’t know the aspects of writing an essay even though I passed the writing portion of the OGT test. Writing has always been a strength of mine because I have really good handwriting and I’m willing to improve it any way possible. I never knew about citations, in text citations, and not using first person. In high school, students usually can turn in anything they have and literally pass a paper every single time. Writing is a very important skill to have because it improves communication skills, creative thinking, and how to express ideas.
I Am a Writer I don’t play sports To get out all my anger. I don’t dance To feel grateful or pretty.
There are many ways to write a story, but only one way for each individual. Ever since I started school, English was my hardest subject. Math, art, and language class came easy to me, while I struggled in English. I have many weaknesses as a writer and not many strengths. However, the way I approach the writing task may have something to do with the fact that writing is not one of my strongest points.
I don't like to read because you just sit there and I like to move around or fidget. When I do read I like to read graphic novels like mangas, but the only reason why I read is because I have language class yeah I know boring right. I don’t like reading mostly because I'm a slow reader and this one time I only got about five pages read and my teacher thought I wasn't paying attention so I got in trouble. My weakness as a reader would be my fluency like I said before my fluency sucks! My strength in reading would be my comprehension that is what got me to a z level. My goal has a reader is to only read the amount of books that I need to and yes that is my goal. My goal has a reader in my life is to be able to comprehend to my highest potential
I like to think I have many strengths. After review of my character/ personality test, I can see what they are. I am a task-oriented leader, which drives me to finish a project. I have a strong individual work ethic, which allows me to be responsible and not rely on others. I am good at building and leading
Personally, I believe that my overall ability as a writer is good because I love to draw out diagrams, supporting details, and my ability to relate to the reader is some of my assets, although, some of my liabilities include; coming up with a thesis statement, edit/revising my papers, and word choice/vocabulary. As a student, it is hard to come up with and think about your assets and liabilities or what a good writer is and what a bad writer is, or maybe we all just think we are bad writers because we are so good at criticizing ourselves and not getting other opinions on how we are as a writer. Thinking of my assets was one of the hardest things I have had to do when it comes to writing because I have never had to think about what helps make
