Assignment n1:

In order to be a good writer one has to understand the reason why they’re writing and the purpose of it. One doesn’t just write whatever comes to their mind, there’s a reason why they’re writing that: surroundings, problems, events it all has a meaning as well as an objective. It is important to understand these things so that one can truly express themselves to the fullest. This in my opinion is the beginning of good writing. Being able to be a good writer is fundamental, it is necessary to know how to properly write in order to accurately express your emotions, present your ideas etc. 

I believe that the easiest part of writing for me is being able to connect all my thoughts and be concise with my writing. I don’t go overboard with what I write, I tend to be very direct with my essays as well as any other type of assignments.  However, something I struggled with during English class in high school was explaining my point with extra detail or using proof to further analyse what I was stating. 

In addition,  I don’t think I will have to do a lot of writing in my intended major since it’s architecture. I might have to do multiple presentations, the main type of genre that I might use would be speech or do reviews about other projects. 

This course can help me get better at my speech, writing skills as well as being able to piece detail together to strengthen my ideas.
