Doing Reading 10

Screenshot of my word doc. work It has been a lot way but we are slowly coming to an end of our digital book. You can really see it coming together to a full-on finished piece and all the hard work done is clearly visible. I personally didn't enjoy the academic writing but I am happy with how much I managed to do and my academic writing has definitely improved from what it was at the start of the semester. It was very hard to begin but it is a lot easier now coming to the end and a big relief is approaching us all that we have almost the word document completed. Today in class we looked at the word doc. and were asked to finish up any bits that weren't fully completed. I had to do my "test yourself section" which I didn't get a chance to do earlier. I had a quick read over my work and then came up with five questions. After I did that I then added my bibliography with the links to the original piece online and arranged them in alphabet order. Following that, I wro

Reading 08

Image source This week's reading was a bit challenging but with the practice, it starts to be a lot more clear on what should go into each paragraph and how to style your writing in a more formal academic style. I feel like my academic writing has improved and sounds more serious and structural compared to what it was at the beginning of this semester. I try to correct myself when I feel like my writing sounds less academic and more slang and I am managing to be faster at fixing those mistakes.  I didn't have too much trouble or problems with writing both the introduction and the conclusion, I have followed the steps and took the tips from the videos into account, and tried to keep the paragraphs in the same structure. I did however found the writing quite time-consuming as I wasn't sure if the introduction was enough or should I go deeper into the topic without revealing too much about what was involved in the next few paragraphs. I had a look over the introduction and my
