Thank goodness I didn't have too much to revise on this one!! Yay! Just a couple grammatical errors that were pointed out by my classmates. I tried to write an article of interest with some slight humor (although that is pretty hard to do if you are not a natural at it!). This was one my favorite ones to write by far, and I was glad that it was ( Read more... )

Uggh. For some reason this essay caused me a ton of grief, and I'm not quite sure why. I think that I was expecting it to turn out differently, and overall I just wasn't that happy with it. I was aiming to review Victoria BC as a tourist destination for a travel magazine, but it ended up sounding differently than I had hoped. By the time I had ( Read more... )

The issue essay was one of the harder ones in that I had to research a bit to find some background information on the topic.

My classmates pointed out a few grammatical errors and suggested ( Read more... )

Thanks to living out in the boonies and having a crappy car that is currently stuck in a ditch, I had two extra days to catch up on my homework... just in time to get onto my last blog posts and start this feature essay! Hopefully the buses are running in my ( Read more... )

Writing a review is going to be tricky for me I think..I really cannot call myself an expert on anything! I don't think I know anything well enough to be in a position to review it!! Maybe perhaps I could write a restaurant review..food critics have the best jobs I think. You don't need to be an expert to know what tastes good in my opinion! Any ( Read more... )
