My Goals in Englcom (FINAL)



To read, one must be able to write.

Writing is perhaps one of the most important elements in communication.  There is a great power in the written word and that certain “power” is found in writers whose words, skills and passion have the ability to move their readers in a way that could promote change.  In this writing class, my main goal is to become an effective and versatile writer.

To be an effective and versatile writer,  I must be able to motivate my audience to act by expressing my thoughts clearly through my works. If I were to inspire and encourage them to take action, I must be able to write well.  To do that, I must expose my readers to new ideas with the right words that can open their minds to the message I want them to see. In accordance with that, I want to widen my vocabulary in this Englcom writing class.

Like any other goal, it is not enough to just aspire—there must also be action. To fulfill my objectives for this class, one of the things I have to do is to read more.  Through reading, I can expose myself to different writing styles and techniques and expand my vocabulary as well.  I can express clear thoughts by writing cohesively, giving clear ideas, stressing my main points , presenting coherent messages and  by following the right formats and conventions of writing. To inspire my audience, I can use my personal experiences as well as others’ and relate them to my essays.

My goal in this writing class is not totally impossible—it is reachable. To achieve them,I must always keep them in mind whenever I am writing and give effort on doing research about my topics. I recommend my readers to be open minded when they read and to my fellow writers, always think of the audience and how your works may affect them, their lives and their perspectives.

    *my = their ("one" being a general term)

    To achieve them, I must always keep them in mind whenever I am writing and give effort on making research about my topics.

    *and give effort on researching about my topics.

    I like your starter. "To read, one must be able to write." It makes me feel like I want to learn more. Inspirational feelings.
    It was a good read. Good job :D

  3. Good starter. Good ideas logically presented. Overall, good essay!
    However, there are some errors with the use of possessive nouns.

    Since you used "one," "my" should be changed into "his or her."

    "To achieve them,I must always keep them in mind whenever I am writing and give effort on making research about my topics."

    The word "them" is redundant and the sentence is quite confusing.

    I also think "on making" should be changed into "in doing."

  4. Great conclusion. It really wrapped up your essay well :)
    but just as the previous commented have pointed out, there's a need to improve your conventions in grammar

  5. Good attention grabber! Your essay reflects your positive attitude towards writing. With this optimism, your work becomes interesting to read. However, you need to provide transition to link your thesis statement to your hook, background info and reason. Be consistent too in your point of view. Check paragraph 3, you used "one" and "I." Your conclusion is okay, but you also need to provide connecting phrase from your summary to recommendation.
