Paulo's Blog - ENGL1101.01

 Blogging has been a new way of writing that I have not practiced in a long time. I tend to write more extensive texts and papers, usually based on solid arguments or scientific research. Writing my own blog is a more relaxed and fun way to approach my writing techniques. This term was really productive in developing my skills as a writer.

 I have updated my post 15 and included a much needed paragraph: "Once you have set your focus it is easier to develop your ideas on paper in a more natural way. Sometimes, reading something on the chosen topic will improve your arguments and give you a solid foundation to support your text." This paragraph brings some good suggestions on how students and writers can address quick ways to discuss it.

 My Post 15 was briefer than I would like. I should probably have explained more ideas of how I prepare myself when writing an academic text. Some advice might encourage other students to look at their writing process in a different way and help in some kind of fashion.  

 Peer reviews are good as an academic reading and getting to know your colleagues` papers. Evaluating their work help us find the same mistakes on our texts sometimes. Creating a collaborative environment inside the classroom can lead us to help each other be better writers.

 Getting back to campus after so many years feels like a fresh start. Being in college as a more mature man made me realize how important it is to grasp this opportunity and make the most of it. I am loving to study in a new country and learning a lot from great teachers at MGA. I hope that next term will be even better as I look forward to finish my major.
