Expository writing

Sam Dillon is writing to educated people reading the New York Times using an expository style of writing to convey to those uninformed, of how severe bad professional writing has become within businesses in America. Writing is essential in the workplace because it allows a good workplace communication in many businesses. Sam Dillon uses Dr. Hogan’s, a former university professor who heads an online business writing, quote “E-mail is a party to which English teachers have not been invited,”…

Writing is a language used to convey or prove something. However, humans don’t get the skills to effectively describe what they are talking about from the air. Writing is a skill that requires a lot of practice to master. Because during our lifetimes we gradually get exposed to more difficult types of writing from narrative and expository writing in middle school, to argumentative writing in high school. We need to develop that skill through hardships, trial and error, and even our…

boring writing was an experience that has shown me how well I can write. It’s amazing how time has flown. When I take a look back at how many papers I’ve written, it seems like it is such an unfair representation of how much I’ve actually written and how much work I put into my papers. Some were drafted a couple of weeks in advance. Others were ripped from my mind in a haze of keyboard strokes and sweat. Regardless,…

I am in the AVID program and we started to write personal statements a couple weeks ago. A personal statement is a short piece of writing where you answer to a prompt about some kind of experience in your life, the catch was it had to be 500-700 words. Now in english we wrote an 100 page expository about some life event you experience. I will tell you right now my first draft was way over 100 words, but after many hours of cutting down the story I managed to get…

Intermediate Composition class. During registration, I noticed my class met in the UNG Library Technology Center. I thought to myself why would an English class meet in the Technology Center. Little did I know, my professor centered most of our writing assignments and classroom discussion using technology. On the first day of class, my professor instructed the class to sign on to a computer. Then, he required the class to set up a BlogSpot and a Twitter account. The thought of setting up…

In my argument essay I used examples as one of my expository strategies. I gave examples of past events in my essay to help the reader understand my point of view. In the short story “The Birthmark”, I used analysis to make the story clearer, so I could fully understand the text and write about it. A thesis asserts the main idea of your topic or argument of your paper, and a topic sentence starts a paragraph and gives the reader an idea of what the paragraph will be about. Both of these are…

to me that I was not strong and some might say not even adequate at speaking, reading, and writing until everything was revealed abruptly but instantaneously. I started to notice the differences in my technique when compared to most of my classmates. I was substandard when compared and ashamed of my writing, I doubted my capabilities, and in a way I was right too, because other students were good at writing and I was inferior to them. Even though I had good grades on the classes I took it took…

I believe that it will allow me to pursue my dreams as a social worker because, in this field you must constantly be writing notes and an evaluating individuals and their environment. There are continuous assessments and…

writer. Coming into this course of English 202 Research Writing, Professionalism and Engaged Citizenship I was a bit nervous. In the past, writing was never a subject I succeed in. Over the course I produced several mid-drafts along with final drafts that I am proud to say were successful in my opinion. Although I believed that my final drafts were good and I had grown as a writer throughout the semester, I did have weakness and strengths in my writing. Some weakness that I did have was my…
