The essay that is called 'This I Believe' is very interesting type of essay that will require many different strategies for writing to be a successful essay. Some of the important aspects required are included in the packet that was given to us at the beginning of the course.
Even just the first 'Prioritized benchmark' called 1.a could be extremely helpful in writing this, and many other essays. Considering that this essay is suppose to derive from a belief of the writer, making connections is very important for the writer as well as the reader. 1.b can be extremely helpful with metaphors and figurative language, even irony could be very helpful. Another helpful thing, especially for this essay is 2.a with the format which is extremely important, especially considering that this essay is something that is also used as a contest on a website. It may also be helpful to collaborate with some classmates in writing this essay because, there is a chance that it could be read, and posted online for the general public to see if the essay meets the expataions for the people who select the essays to be read.
Going along with 2.b, the last one mentioned above, 2.e is also important; receiving feedback from peers can always improve writing. Coming up with a strategy in 2.f for the writing is also extremely important. It's also always good to use skillful language that matches the sentence like in 2.g. A varied and accurate vocabulary can really impress a lot of people as well as jazz up the writing.
However, I do not believe interchanging between informal and formal writings from 3.a would benefit to much. Analyzing texts like 4.b can help generalize the writing and conclusions and summarizing ideas is very important (4.c). But something extremely useful is critiquing as mentioned in 4.f. Critiquing can help a writer see a mistake they have made, and can help make a paper better overall. Plagiarism is also important, to not do. Be sure to get rid of all types of plagiarism that may be in the paper, like said in 5.b

Introduction:
Out of this course, I expect to learn more about world literature; to learn about how the major different countries literature functions differently from our own. I expect to learn to identify the different types of literature and how they differ from each other as well as why that country's literature is the way it is. I expect to encounter a variety of different types of literature, both alike and possibly different from what I consider the norm. Also, to learn the 'classical' types of literature of the world.
I would like to learn to identify the different types of literature of the world and to understand them. I would like to read literature from all the major nations of the world such as Europe, and Asia. I would like to learn different forms of literature there are, and how to make them myself, perhaps. I would like to be able to identify the different major Authors of the world, as well as important books and other types of literature.
My strengths in English is my fairly decent vocabulary. For the longest time I've never had to truly study vocabulary for vocab. tests to hard to hard to get a A or B. I'd consider it only just above average though. I consider myself fairly decent in linking sentences so all my words form smoothly and not choppy and short. Another thing I consider a strength of mine in English is my ability to keep writing once I get started. However stopping, for even a short while, can slow my 're-start-up' time.
As said above, if I stop to take a break from a specific writing assignment, or any assignment, slows down my thinking process because I have to stop for writing which breaks my focus. If my focus is ever broken, it generally leads me to go off into 'la la land' and it becomes hard for me to get re-focused. However, taking a break isn't the worst way for me to loose focus. The one way that I'll loose focus and not be able to get back onto my assignment with the same patience is if someone starts talking, specifically if its some random gibberish that has nothing to do with the class that doesn't stop. And, it's not that I'm paying attention to the conversation but that the white noise breaks my concentration.
What are your strengths in English? Explain these questions using and attaching prior work you are proud of . What are your weaknesses? explain and provide proof again. All of these question should be their own paragraph with enough meat in the writing - 5-8 sentences per paragraph.
