FINAL REFLECTION

In “WRITING II”, I learned to write paragraphs and essays, some points of

grammar and punctuation. This syllabus included reading for writing, and essential

skills to develop the Academic Writing.

First, I started writing paragraphs. One was the expository paragraph which has

three levels: the topic sentence, supporting points, and specific examples. To have a

clear idea, I wrote a paragraph about role models, in where I had to give specific

information to make it understandable. There were logical division paragraphs about

celebrations, countries, or a person’s life.

Then, I learned to write cause-and-effect essays which contain problems and

their consequences. Also, the comparison and contrast essay in which it was necessary

to have two parts: two things, places, people, etc. To write a paragraph or an essay I had

to follow some steps such as lists, outlines, clusters, and the most important thing, the

structure of each essay. It was very important to use transition words, subordinating

conjunctions and linkers.

Finally, to write in a better way, I practiced some grammar: superlatives,

comparatives, adjectives order; specific vocabulary for each type of essay, and also

punctuation: how to use colons, semicolons, and commas.

In conclusion, this subject Writing II helped me to develop all possible strategies

and techniques that are necessary to apply in daily life to get a good communication. It

is necessary to follow all the process, so we can build good and clear paragraphs and

essays.
