 My writing in English has been just like baseball. In baseball, you will have good days and bad days. Which, when I am writing it is just like in baseball. Sometimes, I will have a good day and write something good, but I also sometimes will have a bad day and write something horrible. Also, in baseball if you think positively you will succeed, which is what will happen when writing too. I always want to be the top in writing as well as baseball. Writing requires me to always try my best. You will never get anywhere in life by doing nothing. My writing in the constructing domain has somewhat improved. I still have problems composing main ideas and staying on the main topic. But, I have really been working on fixing those problems. Lately, my writing has gained a lot more unity. It doesn’t look like it has been just thrown together as much anymore. Most of my writing pieces have started to gain details of the central idea. I used to not be able to provide enough elaboration of the topic, but it is really starting to improve. The written expression domain deals with how I purposefully shape and control the laguage to affect the reader. I have not improved much in this domain. A lot of my sentences are just plain, old boring and don’t change much. But, once in a while they do contain a lot of excitement. I am not very good at changing the tone or voice. In fact, I have never really been that good at doing that. I have really been trying to improve my writing in this domain, but it still hasn’t improved to where I would like it to be. The last domain is the usage/mechanics domain which is my ability to form competent, appropriately mature sentences. In this domain, I have really improved over the course of this year. When looking at my mistakes on a piece of writing, most of my mistakes have nothing to do with making usage or mechanics mistakes. When dealing with mechanics, I’ve always been good at not making capitalization, spelling, punctuation, or formatting mistakes. But, I used to use some words way to often in one piece of writing, but I have worked on that. I’m not saying I have completely mastered the usage/mechanics domain, but I don’t make that many mistakes in this domain.
