When I have a writing assignment my major distraction is that I have to read several times the assignment instructions because is hard for me to understand it. Then, my ideas get more difficult to put them on writing. I start to think about if what I’m writing is going to be what my instructors are asking me to write. Basically, I start fighting with myself and my ideas. Then, there is a typical distraction that I think it affect me more than anybody else, the TV, and people speaking. Not finding a good place to write, and my phone ringing at that moment distracted me from writing. even though i have all these issues while i write, I believe I can become a better writer. Why do I believe that I can be a better writer? Having many ideas makes me believe that I can become a better writer and also because I want to be someone in this very competitive world. Since I arrive to USA in 2008 the writing part of the English language is a difficult task for me. The grammar is very different from my native language Spanish. It follows a lot of different rules that you need to know in order to write a well understandable essay or any kind of writing. I had to take all the basic English classes in order to learn English. I remember some basic steps from my English writing class about how to write a good well organized essay. First, I have to brainstorm my ideas from the topic. Second I have to created a good thesis statement with a good hook for the reader. Third, I have to write three body paragraph with its own topic sentence. Fourth, write a good concluding sentence or restate the thesis. Fifth, revise the essay so that there is no mistakes and that everything is understandable and organized. In addition, having someone read read it again for you and get advice to improve your writing is the last tip to write a well organized essay.
