Intro

 "The kind of writing you will do in this class is called academic writing because it is the kind of writing you do in college classes. Every kind of writing has a particular purpose and a particular audience. The purpose of academic writing is to explain something or to give information about something. Its audience is your teacher and your classmates.

 Academic writing requires certains skills. These skills include sentence structure (how to arrange words in a sentence), organization (how to arrange ideas in a paragraph), and, of course, grammar and punctuation. Each chapter of this book has sections with a lesson and practices for each skill. At the end of each chapter, you will write a paragraph using the skills you just learned."

 In this blog, I'm going to start from paragraph writing, and it may continue to essay writing.

You will find each step of writing. And I'll put some advice and information.

Just follow the steps, and I hope you can achieve to perfect essay writing! Thank you.
