(ERW1_2018) 3- What's writing?

 

 

What's writing?

 

1- 

Do you like writing? What do you write? Do you have a journal? A blog? Does writing bring you any type of joy/ pleasure? 

Read Ciotti's article on the Psychological benefits of writing. 

Read Wendy Knerr's article on How to find the Joy of writing.

Answer the questions, share your thoughts on both articles and add some more benefits or joys of writing. There are so many!

 

2- When writing a good essay, what are the main golden rules that you (must) follow? 

Write 10 golden rules you use to write an essay in English. 

Personally, I love writing! I used to have a journal when growing up.  As a student, I use to read a couples of times the instruction, underlining its main points, I use to have a brainstorming moment where I write all that would cross my mind related to the issue, then I select and organise my ideas, finally I make a list of concepts and linking words that I want to use and finally I write... the first draft (or the final version in an exam for example)! I read it again to check the spelling and the progression of ideas.     

What about you? 

 

Read now these golden rules  (ignore the advertisement) as well as this document if you want extra tips.

 

Enjoy and start writing now!

    Thanks Andrea Ribeiro. Please remember to write your own answers and every time you use or quote someone or something please mention it. Respect "your" golden rule number 9 and respect others' work. ;)

    My Dear Teacher,
    I am deeply sorry, but, by no means, it was my intention to copy and past the ten golden rules. I apologize! I am certain it will not happen again and it was, indeed, a big fault not to mention the source or author....After having read your suggestion articles about this item/issue, those 10 golden rules, mentioned in my comment, seemed to be (for me) so universal and basic that i dared to use them!
  • Apologies accepted.
    I still think you can come up with some more golden rules. Think about it again and surprise me. :)
