Midtern Exam

From “A New Metaphor of the Language Art”, Baines remarks some methods to improve students writing abilities. Before doing the writing, students have to think about the content of the paper and the readers they are writing for. Then, teacher should let students to discuss with their classmates. Students can know their weak points by their peers and try to correct these problems by themselves. Afterward, the teacher should provide his comment and opinion about student’s composition. It will be much clear for students to know what kind of knowledge they should have while writing their paper. Moreover, these students should also be told how to use computer to do their writing.

Writing is never an easy thing. We usually do not know what is the most important thing and advice we should give the reader. Even if knowing how to start out writing, we do not have very clear thought about the whole structure of it. That will make our point of view become week. Therefore, like what Baines says, people should make a plan about how to compose it and make it clearly offered in front of others.

People often plan all things they want to tell perfectly, and then they start to write. This is not a very good way to write. We should regard writing as a way to develop our way of thinking. In this way, we gradually know what is the point we have and we can find more interesting ideas which we have never thought about. That will makes out composition more abundant for readers. .
