My Writing Development

I am currently a teenager whose writing has developed significantly over the past few years. In fact, my writing was absolutely shocking when I was younger; it was only recently that it has improved.

From about year 6, I noticed that my writing was not very good, especially when I found out the importance of using punctuation. Yes, I did not use commas AT ALL. Also, my vocabulary choices were practically always informal, and I was never able to judiciously incorporate effective language into my sentences.

However, these issues became apparent quickly, and so I knew I needed to act upon them, but I knew it was going to take a lot of work. In order to start practising, I continuously listened in class, experimented with language features and

At this point, I was half way through the year, feeling more confident about my writing.

But notably, I noticed that I actually put in less effort to produce this response, which showed me that my writing was developing quite

At the end of the exhibition, I was so pleased with my work, as I attained an A+ in the project. Consequently, I felt that, if I did not stay determined throughout the year, that I would not have produced a result as effective as that.

Overall, as well as developing my own competence to write more effectively, a special thanks goes to my teacher who sought my problem from the start and kept me on track to achieve my goals. If this did not occur, I would not be in the position I am currently in
