Subject: Mistakes are part of our life and a good writer learns from his mistakes.

  It is known that  athletes miss catches, or overshoot goals. Dancers forget steps, or miss beats. Web designers seek better images, a more clever design, or a more appealing background for their web pages. Experienced writers also need to improve their drafts and rely on peers during revising and editing. The more they practice, the stronger their performance will become. Writing has the same capacity to profit from improvement and revision. While writing the product review essay, I noticed that by revising it and paying attention to the critics that the professor and the classmates gave, I got a better result on writing that essay. 

   The review covers general performance and reliability, features of the product and availability and the ability to last over time. What was considered as a motivation to write the review about the Roomba Robot i3 plus Vacuum was the fact that during college most of the students try to live by themselves and create their own independent life. Knowing this wish of theirs, one of the best things that would come to help is this robot vacuum cleaner that will release them from one of many duties, cleaning their house.

   The first mistake that was so noticeable was the use of  “I” in almost every sentence. The first thing that you can say is that in this way,you completely diverge from the purpose of writing the product review essay. After revising it and making the right change, you can totally tell the difference between the two essays. Another feedback  given was the use of an everyday language which makes the writing poor and not interesting to read. When English is not your first language, I think it is normal that some assessment may seem a bit daunting at first. By gathering information on the topic you are talking about and by not using an overcomplicated language, the final work will be more than great and understandable.

  By offering a summative and evaluative statement that indicates all the points mentioned in the essay, you can say that you have reached your goal of writing a constructive essay and giving it the right conclusion. Once again, you can say that mistakes are part of our life and are proof that we are trying. By revising and editing, we give ourselves a chance to explore our capabilities and to create interesting versions of what we were trying to tell to the readers.

Subject: Strength and weaknesses of writing the lab report analyses

        The purpose of my initial paper was to deconstruct the writing skills used by other authors in research fields. Several sources have been gathered, regarding modern studies on species in their natural ecosystems, including snakes, snails, and fish. Despite the various writing strategies of each author, they shared the common qualities of sparking interest and delivering a coherent message. Throughout the revision of my Lab Report Analysis, I was able to consider the current strengths of the paper’s contents, as well as efforts that could be made for future improvement. 

I want to acknowledge some personal goals that have been met regarding my comprehension and application of specific writing styles. Initially, I struggled to understand the ideas presented by the lab reports due to my own limited vocabulary. I found myself looking up most of the terms that appeared in the paper, and later piecing them into my understanding of their work. Another technique that helped my grasp of the topics was to highlight parts that carried significant information and rewrite them using my own writing. This allows me to quickly recall the notes I had made.

I took a more information-based approach in delivering the message of each lab report. Most of the writing consists of the specific information discovered by the authors. However, I realize that incorporating more emotional rhetoric would enhance the writing style’s appeal to a wider audience. Although the topic stems from technical experimentation, it could include a statement about the general sentiments towards the declining environment due to climate change and human contributions.
