BLOG12

 As an individual, I feel that the entire practice test I have done has been helpful, I learned different techniques in writing an essay. My weakness has been more examples of what the author talks about in articles, describing each one and then with a one personal significance. I learned not to give as much examples and more significance. I notice a change throughout blog 1 to blog 11. My grammar hasn’t been well in writing but re-reading my blogs has been helpful. I would learn which words to use and how to use it.

One thing I have learned in reading a passage is pay attention on what the author points out and use as examples. For me I feel once I find out what the example is I think about if it has happen to me or with someone else. Then I go forward re-reading the passage again underlining certain ideas that the author gives. In order  for myself to pass a test I feel that I need to review my notes at least once every day , be on time on the day the test is taken because I feel once I’m late everything goes wrong , also for me I have to have a good mind being well focus on what I have to achieve .

I feel that I need to pay more attention on what ideas the author gives and put in more words also re-reading the article more than once, checking to make sure there’s no punctuation missing and spelling words incorrectly. For me I follow the steps that I was taught throughout high school and learned more steps during my first semester in this class. Sometimes I follow these steps,

•          Is always knowing the main idea in the article

•          Is finding and understanding the examples the author gives

•          A significance including my own example

•          My opinions on agreeing /disagreeing on what the author speaks about

•          My conclusion which sometimes I don’t really know what to write about but in my blogging class I learned you just give a brief summary on the main idea which is what the author talks about.
