I never realized how much work was involved in sentences and paying attention to writing to make sure that I do not make a mistake. I feel kind of like a reporter when I scanning around the lab. One needs to be careful when he or she is writing because it is easy to fall into the false sense of being a good writer and thinking that you rarely make mistakes. I always believed that I was a good writer. Yet, when I had to look at sentences with the word "street" or "st" I was perplexed at which one I had to use for the sentence. I suppose I never really paid all that much attention to grammar when I got older because I felt like "well, I have taken all the English classes that I need to, I know what I am doing." But the truth is no matter how skilled of a writer you think you are, there is no such thing as perfection. There is always room for improvement. I enjoyed the lab because it was like I was visiting a science of writing. I was experimenting with ways to learn how to write better and to not make simple mistakes.

People do not want to hear about boring news. They want to know what exciting things or going on in the world whether good or bad. It is important to write a story which will get points across to people of maybe what problems are going on the community or what celebrations will be taking place. It is important to keep in mind guidelines when you write a story. Some people are in such a rush to get news out that they make a lot of mistakes. You must reread your story over and over again to make sure that it has everything that you want it to say. Also, ask yourself, what do you expect from your audience and what does your audience expect from you. You need to try to think like a reporter if you can. Try to be professional in your writing. Your writing will also depend on the type of audience you have. For example, writing to a group of teenagers is going to be a different language than writing to a group of senior citizens. Always check to make sure that you have said everything you want to say. You can always proofread or have someone proofread for you. It is a good idea to go back and double check your work.
