Message and Grammar

How can you balance the desire to write interesting, meaningful ideas with the need to be grammatically correct? How important should grammar be?

Business Writing Exercise (Tone)

Original Writing Hi Lauren, Good Day! I have been meaning to ask you about your office. I will have a client meeting this Friday afternoon and I would like to use your office as it has a larger space and better view than mine. I thought of asking your assistant but I prefer borrowing from you directly. Please let me know if your office is available by Thursday so I can prep for the Friday meeting. Thank you! Best, Jess

My Home: Solitary Adjustment

Objective I currently live in a studio-type unit in one of the richest cities in the Metro. I have lived her for almost three years and since I work nearby, it is more convenient for me to commute and go around the city. It is surrounded by restaurants, local service shops and a handful of malls. Living near my workplace have saved me a few hours of traffic jams and commute inconveniences. Sentimental Living alone is a way for you to test your maturity. I longed to be an independent young adult so living without my family was a big deal. I have always been the baby of the family and after I moved, I believe their perspective of me changed too. Living apart from them was difficult but it is a process of maturity and in maturity I learned the power of solitude. That's where my new strength comes from. Frustration After leaving university, I have always wanted to live alone. Far from my childhood home, far from my nagging parents. I imagined things that I saw on TV. A young adult brav...

Email and Communication

How do you think email has affected communication? Do you hate it? Love it? Explain your response. I have always had the passion for letter writing. I was very keen on writing and exchanging letters with my best friend when I was a kid and as I grow up I wanted to have more pen pals but I was never able to do it. The idea of writing on pen and paper has a very relaxing bit to it, a bit of aesthetic too. Stamps and envelopes are also becoming a thing of the past and the only way to get a letter now is for the bill (although some do it electronically as well now) Email is inevitable. With the development of technology, this is the new professional way of communicating with someone now. At first, it was sad to see the nature of writing on pen and paper fade but I grew to like writing emails now as it is more seen as professional.   Being able to get the mail and replying in a snap is a good facet of emails and more with how communication is effectively transmitted. Sending out a ...

Me: A Writer

I never saw myself as a writer, not yet at least. I have created and wrote a few blogs. I wrote for a newspaper during my internship. And now, I'm writing e-mails. I have not really wrote for a few bad years and at this moment, I really want to go back to writing. Writing has always been in my way of life. I enjoyed writing when I was a kid. Even more so when I became a teenager. I wrote sappy stories and kept a diary. All these scenes that I couldn't get out of my head and the moment I write them it's like they came to life. All these emotions that I thought that if I wouldn't be able to write it down, I would go crazy. When I began to not have much time, I resorted to short prose and poems. Those kept me sane for a couple of good weeks. I believe that I cannot get writing out of my system even if I wanted to. At first, I wanted to be a novelist and every time I read a good book I would think to myself that I want to be able to write like that too. Then, I began writin...
