     I think any kind writing is writing, but we just need put it in order. A paper can be graded C because that paper might not have followed all the rules. This means punctuation, grammar, verbs, tenses and others. In a C grade paper maybe there are fragments. Fragments can make a paper miss its attraction. For example, 
     - The requirements before registering for classes.- Fragment
     - I have lunch yesterday, but not today. - Here the verb tense is the problem.
These types of mistakes can lower the grade of the paper. Another reason is the paper may not have connected its story. It needs to be in order and organized. 

     When we are grading an A paper we will see how well it was organized. In that paper we can find college level vocabulary, followed the rules of writing and it is attracting the reader. For example, sentences are very clear in the paper; the requirements are take placement test before registering your fall classes.
     -I had lunch yesterday, but not today.
 In A paper there should be a grabbing point and must go through its story until to the end of the paper. Sometimes the paper has to convince the reader. When the paper is attracting and convincing the reader it is an A paper.

     A topic that I can write about is drawing. I might be able to write a page paper explaining how got interest in drawing and what I did to learn how to draw. The pros for this topic are I can write about my own experience. I am very confident that I can write more than I thought. At the same time another con is that I may not able to explain very clearly step by step about what are some struggles that I went through during learning how to draw.
     Another topic that I can write about is learning a new language. English and Spanish these are my second and third languages. This is another best topic for me because I know how I struggled when I'm learning a new language and I know what are some conflicts that I had faced while learning how to speak a new language. Even now I don't know how to write perfectly in a different language. The pro for this topic is I can explain why I'm still not perfect in these two languages.
     The last topic I chose to write about what is my writing process. The pros for this topic are I can explain in order what do I do about choosing a topic and how do I start writing. In this process I can explain what takes me long to write and how I can change it. The con for this topic is that I had already written about it many times and I don't know how to expand it more. One thing I don't like about this topic is that it might be boring for audience if I expand the original writing. I think this topic might not be interesting to everyone, but I would like to write creatively which gives interesting to every audience. If I can write it creatively than I'm good at writing essays.

      My first assignment is about why we are taking English 101. Well, it is a required class for every student in NEIU. The reason I'm taking this class because I want learn how to write perfectly.  No matter what I have to write essays, research papers, and answers to the questions all through my college years. Even after college I have to write when I work some where or when I write letters to someone. I think it is another way to express our feelings. Sometimes it's hard to talk what we feel, but we can same feelings in writing. For example, I can only express my feelings in writing rather than in speaking. Over all, grammar is very important in writing. 

     Another reason is that I want to know the rules of writing. So, when ever I write essays it will help me a lot to write perfect and I will get a good grade for it. So far I have written many essays and I got good grades, but my only weakness in writing is that sometimes I'm not using right tense and verbs. In this class I want to improve my revision skill and  I want to know how to keep tenses in right order. Most of the time I feel very shy to show my paper to others, except to the professor because I know that there will be mistakes in my paper. That's why in this class I want to learn how to write in right way. Once if I write correctly I don't have to be to show my paper to others. Finally, learning how to write is very important in our daily life.
