Second Draft of Process Essay: Similar to first, but with little spelling corrections

Three, Two, One The Paper’s Done

   Contrary to what people think, writing a paper can be fun. Researching something that you enjoy, learning more about it, and bringing all the information that you have found together to make one paper can be interesting, but the way a person goes about doing it can ruin the fun. In five easy steps you can write an essay and enjoy it.
   Begin by brainstorming and picking a topic that interests you most, not just what you think will give you a good grade. If you have no interest in what you are going to write about then you won’t care as much and won’t do as well. If you enjoy what you are writing about you will want to study about it more and in-so-doing will do better on your essay. Even if you are given the topic, find something in it that interests you about it and write your essay. This is a very important step to it being enjoyable.
   Once you have decided on a topic that interests you, write an outline or use one of the many Prewriting Techniques, which would include: Listing, Freewriting, Looping, Boomerang, Clustering, Cubing, Interviewing, or Cross-Examination. If you haven’t figured out which technique works best for you yet don’t get frustrated, you will, just look at the different techniques and see which one is best for you. If you think you have to use more than one technique then do it, whatever works for you to write your essay is just fine.
   After you have picked a topic and have used either an outline or a Prewriting Technique to get things in order, the third step is to write your first draft out. Write it not worried about how you spell every word, just write out a simple draft, if you are not comfortable with it then make changes and rewrite it if necessary. Once you have written your first draft and you are comfortable with it, then go back and make corrections of misspelled words, capitalzation, and end marks. You’ll notice that as you go from your first draft to your second and so on you are actually fixing more and more things
   Once you are comfortable with what you have written, corrections have been made, and it is writen to the point it is almost available to hand in, go ahead and have a friend, a tutor, or a fellow student look at your essay and make suggestions. It’s good to have a few people look at your essay because it is easy to miss something and the second person might catch errors that the first person didn’t. My personnal advice is to have two tutors and either a friend or fellow student look at your essay, so a total of three people, because that gives you a pretty good chance of at least one of them finding a mistake, if there is one.
   Once you have writen out your essay to the point of it being just about done and you have had at least one or more people check it, the next step is to write your paper, from the draft you have written and the advice you have gotten from the ones you had check it. Now look through it one more time to check for errors, it is always best to have someone check it one more time at the end, just to make sure. You are now ready to hand in your essay.
   If you follow the steps that have been given to you, pick a topic that interests you; write out an outline or use one or more of the Prewriting Techniques; write out your first draft; have a friend, tutor, and/or fellow student look at your almost finished essay and make corrections where needed; write your paper from your drafts and from the advice given from those who checked your essay; and when you are finished writing your essay have a person look at it one last time for any errors just before you hand it in. You will then be able to write an essay. So next time you have to write an essay just remember the steps given and have fun doing it.

Playing My Guitar

I have been playing a guitar now for 1 to 2 1/2 years.  I  enjoy learning how to play new chords, which are the hands positions to make different sounds as you play.  It's very challenging to learn where each finger goes and which string they belong to in order to make the right sounds.  I love it when I play for my family and them enjoying it.

Second Draft of Descriptive Essay

Each cookie has a unique smell, appearance, taste, and feel. Some have chocolate, some just have sugar on the top, and some have oatmeal. The Oatmeal Cookie is a wonderful cookie, it is better then any other.

As the cookie is baking, it lets off a wonderful smell of brown sugar and cinnamon mixing with the oats. When the brown sugar and cinnamon heat up they really allow their fragrance to come out and leave your house filled with a sweet smell that everyone will love. The oats being cooked, while they heat up in the oven, brings a smell that lets everyone know exactly what you are making.

The cookie has a beautiful golden brown color. The oats stick out in every direction and make it look like little mountains and valleys over the whole cookie. The raisins stick out just enough for you to know they’re there. And if you desire to put nuts and chocolate chips into the cookie, it makes them have a more full look because of all the additional items.

The taste of the cookie is a mix of brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and cinnamon mixed together with oats. The different types of ingredients so beautifully combine together to make a wonderful taste of sweetness. The oats bringing a nice natural taste to the cookie. And finally the raisins give a nice fruity, freshness to the cookie.

The outside of oatmeal cookies feel rough because of the oats, while the inside is soft. As you bite into it, it has a chewy texture that is just right. The cookie almost melts in your mouth. It has a warm feel as you eat one the way you are supposed to, right from the oven.

This cookie allows a variety of flavors depending on the recipe that you use. Some may put in nuts and raisins, while others may just add chocolate chips. Still some might make it with no additionall items, except the oatmeal. The ways to have an Oatmeal Cookie are endless.
