How Did I Improve?

When I think about the beginning of the year, I think that I have improved in so many ways. One of the most important writing skills I developed is writing an introduction. Before I started taking this class, I wasn't aware of the importance of writing a thesis for the introduction. However, I learned that thesis is the sentence that determines the whole writing. Without thesis, the writing becomes confusing,and incomplete. Another important thing that I have learned was writing topic sentences for each body paragraph that I write. Topic sentences gives readers a sense of what is told in the body paragraphs. In the beginning of the year I would write topic sentences, but they were not good enough to describe the body paragraphs. Another important thing that I have developed was my grammar. I have learned so much about the usage of commas, and the usage of some confusing words like "every day", and "everyday". Using correct grammar, and correct words helped me to write better sentences where I would try to use less "I", and more specific words. Towards the end of the year my writings became more specific. I started using more descriptive language that made my writings more understandable.
