I will admit, that my handwriting in essays from this year and essays from my past years have departed from looking alike to each other. Yet, this hides the true progress I have made in terms of understand reading material and writing with more clarity and precision. Truly, I feel that my work in AP English this year has had a great impact on my writing capabilities. First, we will look at the all the different writing type that was given to me throughout the year. The first things we have are the group essays.

The main difference in this paper from any other was that I had some ideas to share about the theme, and had an opinion to base the pathos of my argument.

Although I had some improvements in writing (vocabulary, syntax, and tone), and developed a more complex style, there was not much improvement in the quality of writing this year from writing last year. I plan on not repeating my mistakes for next year’s English. Finally, I will talk about my main goals that I have completed and will complete. This year, I have been able to accomplish my goals of being able to process timed writes quickly, and being able to read texts more closely. My future goals for the coming years is to sharpen my critical thinking, start making connections within the text, and being able to write timed writes at a quicker
