After comparing your rough draft to the evaluated final draft of essay one, you should be able to gauge the state of your writing skills at the start of the semester. Provide a well-structured paragraph in response to each of the following (two separate paragraphs).

How did the comparison help you to identify your writing strengths?

Primarily, the comparison helped me to identify my writing weaknesses which I could  learn from. I can almost say that I made weaknesses to my strenghts. Overal, I think I got more confident with using English. I can structure sentences much better than I used to and I also got better with using commas and articles. In my opinion, if I have a good topic, I can create very good essays with straight points.

How did the comparison help you to understand your writing weaknesses?

The comparison helped me a lot to better understand how I should stucture sentences, use grammar, commas and articles. I have been doing several grammatical mistakes such as mixing past and present in the same sentence when just past should have been used.
