Errors In Teen Influences

Improved Essays
It’s hard to admit that the writing you made, your masterpiece, has errors. Many authors go through many extensive drafts before they are satisfied with the outcome of their work. Being satisfied isn’t necessarily having a work of art with no mistakes in it. I make errors in the papers I write. It may be because writing it isn’t my forte. Some of the errors in my papers are shown in the final drafts which isn’t good. I have learned to fix my two prominent issues in my writing parallelism, and comma splices. As well as a smaller issue like spelling. I have worked to not make such errors in my work and if I do how to find and fix them. I have grown as a writer in my EWRT 211 class. Even though there are errors in my writing I also have a strength. Nobody wants to someone to read their writing and find errors in the first paragraph. In Teen Influences the name of a in class paper I wrote it had a parallelism error in the introduction. “...will influence a teen’s ability to make decisions, be responsible and ability to treat others.” (1).

To be a college student and have such errors it’s embarrassing. In the final draft of my essay Teen Influences I made three spelling errors. The three words I misspelled were pressure, whether, and benefited. (1-3). These words were misspelled not because I don’t know how to spell them, but because I had a limited amount of time to write the essay in class. I only had fifty minutes to write the four pages of my Teen Influences paper. The day before I could have written half of it, but I didn’t because I had other things on my mind that kept distracting me from doing the in class essay. It may not seem as a huge deal, but a final draft has to be perfect. To fix the spelling issues I now look up how to properly spell a word I have a doubt on how to spell; and also double check spelling when I am rushed and on a time

    The barrier language that I have between Hmong and English is what makes my writing difficult to understand from the start of the school year, not only that, but also just me trying to throughly write an explanation of what I have thought of in mind. Sometimes it doesn’t come out on the paper as I have, have in my thoughts. Which in return create flaws in my level one, two, or three writing paper that affect my writing skills. The flaws that I have slightly improve on my writing: create a clear and stronger thesis statement, subject- verb agreement, and transitioning.

    Misspelled words for me is a challenge every time that I write some paper for school, I think is because my primarily language is not English and I'm always thinking my words in Spanish. What I been trying to do to always is get someone to read my papers to see if I have any awkward sentence or misspelling words. Most of the time my husband since he was a tutor and he is really good at catching my mistakes does this for me, I also take my papers to the writing center. One of the words that I always find myself misspelling is "our", "their", I Think most of my misspelling are more likely because I do not write much, I know that the more that I write the more I get use to and I will feel comfortable. I believe that is all relate to ow much time…

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

    If you have rushed your essay, then it should have more holes than a sponge. With that being the case, you need to make a concerted effort to critically analyze your work and find faults with it so that you may tighten it up. Most writers feel an emotional attachment to their work, even if the work is rushed. The emotional attachment makes the writer unable to see the fault in his or her own work. That is why professional writers use proofreading services.…

    I believe that sometimes my mistakes in grammar stay on my papers because while I am revising and editing my paper I have trouble reading the actual words on the paper and instead read the things that my mind says it should read. For example, one of my greatest mistakes is forgetting to write some commas when the writing should have it. The problem is that in my mind I read it as if the comma is there while it is truly not, I believe that this problem extends in part out of the fact that I read a lot of books where the grammar is not the best and I always try to ignore it while I am reading. Additionally, I also need to work on eliminating my run on sentences from my writing.…

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…
