Introduction

I had to write day by day. Writing is not something that you wake up and do, but it is a process

that you have adhere to be successful. The reason I attended English 101 was to enhance my

writing abilities and to answer queries eloquently.

The Body

I was new to writing at the beginning of the semester. I didn't have poor writing abilities

but they required fine polishing. Much of the abilities I've readily converted from high school,

but not some. I've always been good to collect knowledge and establish a basis. I've always

found it easy to write next to it after I got the foundation. It was straightforward to fulfill the

primary principles. However, as I started English 101, it became clear to me that I needed more

depth and that I lacked. It has to be improved, but it was not a difficult fix. Sometimes it is

difficult for me to comprehend why certain writing needs detailed information, while others

do not.

This class has enabled me to acquire rhetorical knowledge via the analysis and

composition of many writing forms to learn how genre norms determine the practices and the

objectives of readers and authors. This implies that I have been able to study several forms of

writing to understand how a genre influences the writing and reading of the author. Our publicity

analysis tasks was one thing that enabled me to reach this goal. In the classroom, we took the

opportunity to look at advertising messages and how particular audiences were enticed.

This class has also helped me in developing critical thinking, reading and information

literacy via the composition and reading of research, learning, critical thinking and

communication. One method I have achieved this result is through writing journals on different

subjects in virtually every class. All the time we had to create a journal about our ideas on our

skills in writing, how we defined different terminology and how we reflected on our tasks. I was

able to look back at specific tasks by completing these diaries, and to discover how I might do

what I have done. This writing style is useful because of its creative character and enabled me to

become better as a writer.

By finishing the picture analysis essay, I figured out how to employ external elements in

your own writing. I compared and contrasted two advertisements with the end of the article and

analyzed how they were produced and to whom they were directed. I properly remarked and how

they might have enhanced their efficiency. My research essay showed the results of utilizing

paraphrase owing to the nature of the task while talking about the use of external resources

Rhetorical knowledge has also been created in line with the rhetorical situation by

exercising deliberate structural, content, dictionary, tone, formality, design and/or media

adjustments that allow you to modify your work to represent the rhetorical scenario in question.

Not one task, but several. This was the result. We were required during the semester to produce

several essays that reflect diverse writing styles. I was able to modify how I write to match the

needs from storytelling and analysis, to info graphics and research tasks. In my literacy narrative,

for example, I had to write to give an account.

During my study, I started questioning other views and proposing new concepts instead

of just referring to the conclusions others came to. My writing is more than ever before - it was

not merely with a personal eloquence to confirm another's ideas. I took the danger of making

statements, because I believed they were accurate.

Conclusion

Through the English 101 lessons, I was able to acquire rhetorical knowledge, develop

critical thinking, reading and information literacy, create effective texting methods, and develop

convention-building knowledge. The training and teaching motivated me genuinely to be a

lifetime student.
