When I think about the kind of writing I expect from my students, the term “good writing” first comes to my mind. It is fairly difficult to create 'okay' writing, but it takes time and effort to turn it into good writing. There is a variety of factors contributing to a great piece of writing. First of all, 'good writing' is well-structured with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Each paragraph has a topic sentence, followed by supporting details. Secondly, “good writing” contains strong ideas. During the whole writing process, especially brainstorming, writers should put down ideas on paper, and pick the most powerful and persuasive ones. They need to dig deep into their minds and try to figure out the new angles of the given topic. Besides, 'good writing' follows the basic rules of punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar. Thus, proofreading is necessary to ensure a good surface level of the writing.
The writing process consists of different stages: prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. From my perspective, prewriting is the beginning step and also the most challenging for me. In prewriting, I often 'talk' to my mind and 'think' about the topic. I use the strategy of brainstorming and freewriting to come up with any ideas about the topic. However, as I do not have sufficient life experience, I need to do research and read a lot as input for my writing process. Sometimes, I feel exhausted because I do not have any ideas for the topic. When going through all the stages and heading to the final stage – revising, I feel relieved. Revising and editing are the two tasks I enjoy to significantly improve your essay. Revising allows me to take a second look at my ideas. It is time to add, cut or change the information presented in the writing so that the ideas are clearer and more convincing, and more interesting. Meanwhile, editing helps in the way I expressed my ideas. I can improve my writing style and turn it into a polished mature piece of writing.
Therefore, as a future educator, I look forward to involving my students to master the step of pre-writing. To foster and enhance a community of young writers, I have to inspire and motivate them from the beginning. This is the stage to stimulate the students' creativity to think about effective approaches to the topic. Ideas are the main focus in this stage; hence; one of the great strategies that I hope to guide my students to tackle the pre-writing stage is a mind map. From a word in the center, students can make a connection between it and related words and phrases.

I value the role of writing as an economic power. For example, applying for a job entails several written communication, from filling out an application to writing a cover letter and drafting a resume. Also, online job seekers are always judged based on the quality of the written work given. How well-written your resumes and cover letters are, a minor grammatical mistake or the use of spoken language in written work can cause your application to fall behind others. Another influential impact of writing on economics and businesses is communication via emails within an organization. Employees should be good at writing emails to work with other colleagues or sending emails to prospective or current clients and customers. Once employees can write comprehensively and professionally, channels such as emails or reports help to foster effective collaboration within the office and spur the business to success.
Communication means sharing information between two or more individuals, considered as the act of conveying information. Communication has so many components, and each plays a vital role in building effective communication. In my opinion, the addresser is one of the most important as they need to know how to initiate a communication process. The combination of a wide range of techniques including writing skills, strong arguments, and good command of grammar makes the process of communication smoother, thereby facilitating the message, another crucial component. The message serves as the main idea that the addresser hopes to convey. The message should be clear and detailed to obtain understanding from the receiver. If the receiver cannot get the message across, the whole process almost fails.
While everyone’s process is different, teaching the writing process is still essential. Students who learn the writing process can know the nature of writing and apply these skills to all types of writing. The teaching writing process encourages and produces lifelong learners, who do not learn specific skills assessed on the test. Teaching the writing process is one thing; motivating students to follow it is more important. As long as students are inspired and see the value in applying a writing process, the teaching of the writing process is more valuable and important for students. Anyway, success in writing greatly depends on a student’s attitude, motivation, and engagement.
Effective communication offers us several merits. It helps to minimize misunderstandings between people when exchanging information, thereby allowing more accurate access to information and higher levels of productivity. In addition, effective communication enables people to build strong relationships with each other. Once people have trust, they tend to work and cooperate more efficiently with others. They can work better as their voices are heard and respected.
