My Writing Experience

Regardless of the value (or lack of I should say) that I placed with writing, writing was, and will continue to be used as one (if not the) main form of communication in our daily lives. For all the hate and petiness I held towards writing, I still did enjoy some forms of the written word. Poetry in particular (most notably the works of William Blake) are some of the few forms of writing that I do hold in high esteem. Wether it be it's simplicity, or ease at expressing joys and sorrows, I find poetry to be as pure a form to writing as the string quartet is to music. As I mentioned before hand my veiw of writing has grown from being simple hatred to an apreciation of some aspects of the written word. Aloutgh i have never written often i look forward to better developing my skills as a

All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.

Throughout my experiences as a writer, I would say the issue I have faced the most is being well-organized. While writing essays I can begin to write on a topic but it gets difficult for me as I start to discuss or argue on my topic which can cause confusion to readers as they read my writings. It is a setback that I have adapted into my style of writing and has needed improvement in order to have a strong structured foundation academically. Over the past years as I encountered different perspectives from teachers that have led me to incorporate their style of writing that I have adjust to my own. Though I may have my difficulties, my ideas can be great but the lack of knowledge I have organizing my paper it has created a foundation that is not

The inevitable had happened; I, as a small child, was demanded to read. A little antisocial human being launched into a world of, at first, difficult words and lengthy phrases. While words and literacy were forced into my mind, I had reluctantly begun the adventure to enjoy and accept the art of literature. Later however, my hopes and dreams were crushed to pieces by a gruesome teacher with an interesting form of a so called “grading policy.”

As a writer in college, students will be challenged. Unlike high school writing classes, college writing will be more sophisticated and intimate. In high school, most English classes require students to follow the pace of the teacher, however, college writing requires students to work at their own pace. After reading these two articles by Sommers, my thoughts on academic writing has changed. One of Sommers’s students, David, best exemplifies my expectations of a college writer because his attitude towards the class demonstrates how I believe academic writing is challenging. As a student, David went against the grain of the class and “went beyond the texts [Sommers] offered and chose his own.” I believe that college students like David struggle to find or understand information in the given text.

At the beginning of the 2017-18 I had many writing oriented struggles that stopped me from writing to the best of my abilities. One of the many speed bumps I encountered was that I made bad choices when it came to the words I chose when writing my essays. During the course of the school year I have learned to improve the way I write papers by using better words. I have also learned that I should look up synonyms of words that don't fit or sound right in my essay to make everything sound better. The words I use in my essays also lack precision. I have improved on this by searching for the definition of words on the internet. If the original word in a sentence does not match my thought, I will look for a new word that matches the meaning that

I have tremendously improved as a writer during the time spent in this class. Composition one has taught me many lessons that will benefit me down the road. I have learned how to become a better writer, and I have learned many different tips to make my work the best it can be. During the months spent in composition one, I have written four essays. I struggled with some essays more than others, but I still made all of the deadlines. My best two essays are essay one and essay two.

Who comes to mind when defining an exceptional writer? King, Shakespeare, or perhaps Hemingway? Far away from these talented writers I find myself defining a good writer as someone with passion. Throughout the course of my writing experience I feel I’ve transitioned from being inarticulate to being open minded and finally leading me to have a goal on my fluency and creativity.

Writing is a form of communication. It is a process of using letters of the alphabet, punctuation and spaces to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form. Now days writing is not only using a pen or a pencil, it can also be done with a keyboard which is normally attached to a typewriter, computer or mobile device. To write clearly it is essential to have knowledge of grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Vocabulary is also necessary, as is correct spelling and formatting. Although all this sounds logical, it is not an easy task to accomplish and it can take several years to make yourself understand thru writing. My first experience in writing started when I was a kid but as I have grown older the way I do is different. Now that I´m in college writing is essential not only to communicate but also to learn.

For as long as I can remember, reading has always been a hobby of mine. Both of my parents encouraged me at a young age to pick up books, and they furthered this by reading to me often. They influenced my interest in fiction and nonfiction, and when my sister was born, I would do the same for her. Even though I still like to read, I have found more hobbies and my interests have changed. Nevertheless, I still have the same enjoyment reading my favorite literature that I had when I was little. Also, I have developed a fondness for writing in the last few years as well.

When it comes to writing, my experience is fairly decent. I have been a writer for the majority of my life when starting back when I was much younger. I was required to write a small story for a handwriting class, however, I got so hooked into the story that after the class was over, I rewrote the story in a much larger scale. I would continue writing small stories and poems for the next few years of my life before I decided to take on my biggest project yet.

Since I graduated from Chinese high school, I don’t have any experience of conducting a research paper before this paper 4. In my writing experience, I needed to huge amount of time spend a large amount of time on the process of learning specific knowledge on the topic. I wanted to make the whole article more readable and attractive. My prior knowledge on this topic is based on my own experience. Then I used my stories in the research paper to prove the topic sentence. In order to drafted the paper, the topic concepts like bilingual and its advantages have to be considered and researched carefully on the internet. In the feedback process, some negligible improvement was made on my structure from my partner. The responses on the revision is

English has never been my strongest topic nor has the writing process been easy when faced with writer block. This challenge made writing difficult at times in where I was unable to think what should be written next. In this portfolio, I include a variety of pieces in the growth in my abilities of overcoming this challenge as a writer. As I reflect back at the end of the semester on my work in the writing 01 course, I am able to see clearly how much have improved as a writer and display my growth. I have learned about myself in term of weakness and strength and learned from them. In this portfolio , I tried to show the presence of the different style of work I completed and the peer editing of this semester. And how the feedback that I receive

Many intellectuals describe their educational journey as a step path which will be worth nothing in the end. Mine, on the other hand, will not only impact my life but as well as the life of others. I want to do more with my life, then working at a fast food restaurant. I want to be somebody, and to be somebody, you must have an education. Having an education in today’s society means nothing unless you know how to use it properly. The central part of having an education is learning how to write and the different ways you must write. I, unfortunately, have always struggled with the concept of writing ever since I could remember. However, this semester has taught me that being different with my writing, is a good thing. No matter how bad I thought I was, I can always continue to improve.

Writing has always been like taking the pink liquid medicine when you were a kid to me. A simple task that you know it's the best for you but it is so hard to swallow or get the nerve to attempt to do even though you know it won't kill you and you should do it. I have always dreaded writing anything that I have to, even if it is a letter home to my family it still takes me forever to gather ideas and put words on paper.
