Reflection 1

In my blog I have done two types of writing: writing a procedure and a story. And I'm going to make a comparision between them.

First let me talk about the procedure essay. In this type of writing you need to be aware of two important things; you need to use the imperative form such as do this and don't do that. The other thing is to use the linking words such as next, after that and then. Also in the procedure essays you will be given a flow chart and it includes information about the steps you have to follow and this information is in the -ing form and you have to change it to the imperative form as I said before. In addition you divide the essay into three paragraphs ( introduction, main paragraph and conclusion ).

Now I will talk about writing narratives ( stories ). In this type of writing you use the forms of the past ( past simple, past continuous and past perfect ). There is no flow chart to be followed but you use your imagination and creativity. Also the story should be in three separate paragraphs ( introduction, main idea and conclusion ).

In my opinion writing procedure is much easier because the information is there and you only have to put it in sentences and use the linking words to link them together so the mistakes are less. On the other hand in writing stories you express your feelings and you use your imagination and creativity which may lead to a lot of mistakes but from these mistakes you will learn and this is the type of writing which l love to write.
