In English class, my teacher gave us an assignment to read 2 articles. Both of these articles were about the importance of writing. The first article was about how you can either win a job because of your writing skill or lose it. One of the main things that stud out to me in the article was the section titled Proofread, proofread, proofread. The reason It stud out to me is because I usually make mistakes in this area. This article showed me that I need to work on this or I can face the consequence of not getting a decent job.
The next article gave 3 reasons why writing is important to any profession. The 3 reasons are that it forces you to think, you take on a different viewpoint, and you will be better at communicating verbally. What the person who wrote this article means by it forces you think is, when you write you look outside the box in. By taking on a different viewpoint, you think how the person you are writing to would react. Basically you are putting yourself in their position (shoes). When you write you are not just practicing your writing skills, you are also practicing your verbal skills. This can help you be more clear when you speak. I hope that you now know how important writing is. Have a nice day and feel free to comment.
Halle - I would be very interested in hearing about what profession you are considering, as well as how writing might fit in with that profession. (By the way, you may want to check out the word "stud" on www.dictionary.com. It might give you a little laugh, especially as you see how you used it in this post. Isn't English fun?)
