During this semester I have learned multiple things in English 101. I have learned lots of new techniques, different writing, and how to cite properly. Through writing different types of essay I was able to apply all of that in my paper. I still need to adjust some areas in my writing skills. Having someone peer review my essay was very helpful, and it gave me a lot of ideas. For a large part of my high school years, my writing improvement seemed to grow upright. When I arrived in English 101, I realized is more to writing than just putting words on a paper.

    ENGL 101: Can I Be A Better Writer?

    Having to apply what I learned from each essay has really helped me a lot. By learning to use MLA style to have a better look throughout my essays, and fixing unnecessary semicolon and using commas when needed to avoid run on sentences or fragments, as well as eliminating to-be verbs for shorter more detailed sentence, and how to use work or words that aren't mine correctly to avoid plagiarism. From learning all those things, it has totally changed my way of writing because the way I used to go about my written, is not even close to how ENGL 101 changed me to being a better writer than I was before.…

    English 102 Reflection

    Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…

    English 101 Final Reflection

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

I was challenged to change my thought process on what it was to be a good writer. The concept of understanding the value of correctly communicating thoughts differs from learning to apply the techniques needed to communicate successfully.…

    Essay On My Strength In English Language

    That’s the reason why I started focusing on my writing ability. I brought some strength to the class English 101A, but I also had to work on my weaknesses throughout the semester. First of all, English is not my first language. When I came into the United States, I was supposed to start at the 9th grade, but the system placed me in the 8th grade because I didn’t know how to write, speak, or read in English so I had to go through the process of learning in English.…
