English Writing Skill

This week is the first lecture of English Writing Skill class. I had learnt the concept of writing, process of writing and know the difference of a poor writing and good writing. The definition of writing is to communicate specific information or ideas, utilizing the formats, language and content relevant to the work place. There are five process of writing, first process is prewriting, second process is drafting, third process is revising, fourth process is editing and the last process is publishing. If we follow the process, this will decrease the chance of making mistake. There are two categories of writing, which is good writing and poor writing. For the good writing, the content is solid and meaningful. The writer will always correct their grammar mistake. The poor writing is totally different compare with the good writing. The poor writing have a lot of grammatical error and spelling mistakes. The content is not true. After the class, I am learning how to become a good writer.

Come to the tutorial class, we have quiz for the chapter one. I do revision again before the quiz start. After the quiz, we form a group with four people and create a poem regarding to the title of "Love". I gained some knowledge in this activity. I also understand how my friend define "Love". I am having fun in this activity. I hope the next class will be fun also.

When you write something as chatting with your friend, this also can be informal unless your friend is requesting formal writing. The third type of audience is a person that you don't know personally but you know something about them. For an example, your school principal, lecturer, manager or others. When you are writing something to them, you should wri...
