Improved Essays

In ninth grade on the other hand I have started to and continue to use words and phrases like “exceedingly” and “due to the fact.” This presents improvement in my writing because using words like exceedingly is evidence that the writer is a higher level writer due to the fact that it is a complex word. Another example of advancement in my writing is the amount of transitions I put in my writing. Before, my writing wasn’t smooth, it was more choppy and the topics didn’t flow very well. After I got to ninth grade Paper Rater helped me alot with my transitions. …show more content…
I taught me to use words and phrases similarly to “consequently” “significantly” and “on the other hand.” In conclusion, so far, ninth grade has created a major impact on the quality of my writing that will be utilized for the rest of my educational

    I started my journey through writing this year a bundle of nerves and a stomach full of coffee. This is my first year taking an advanced English course, but I was determined to do well. There has been no sleeping in class or slacking off this year, I’m lucky enough to take a college course a year early and at a better price, and I’m not going to waste it. I’ve learned a lot this semester, including but not limited to: identifying how exactly the author’s purpose and audience determines effective writing, developing pieces of writing though a process of planning, revising, and drafting, compose an organized essay with clear points and main ideas, used appropriate tone and formality, critiqued writing, and finally how to grasp the MLA format. My writing has improved through the concepts I have learned this semester.…

    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.…

    I believe my writing process has improved over the last 4 months. Through both English 105 and English 106 I have greatly improved my writing ability starting with the “freewriting” process that allows me to get everything I am thinking down on paper in broad strokes. I usually try to do this at least twice during the first part of the weekly assignments. Once I feel I have focused my core message, I usually outline how I want the writing to transition, and what are the reasons or beliefs that led me to the message of the writing. After everything is outlined I would transition to my rough draft process.…

    Contrary to my reading, my writing has undergone some notable improvements. Improvement in my writing did not manifest itself in the way I expected it to at the beginning of this year. Over the course of this year, my grammar, sentence structure variation, elimination of passive voice and ‘to be’ verbs, and overall writing quality have all improved. I even managed to write a decent poem and attempt to copy the vignette style of Cisneros.

Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
