While reading chapter one in The Allyn & Bacon Guide to Writing, I have read and understood the context and meaning behind English grammar. My first hot spot was found on page six. “Effective writing skills are also essential for most professional careers.” I completely agree with this quote and believe it is necessary to have standard writing skills. Being in the dance industry, even dancers need to be able to have effective writing skills. Whether its writing propositions for grants or contacting other dancers, it is necessary to have a background in English.
My second hot spot was found on page thirteen. “The kinds of questions that stimulate the writing most valued in college are the open-ended questions that focus on unknowns rather than factual questions that have single right answers.” I also believe this is also accurate, at least in my English learning experience. Through out college years, there has been more range with “right and wrong.” Today students enjoy questions with no correct answer. Like the quote explained, open-ended questions are more valued to college students.
I agree that the open ended questions are the most valued in college. This is also a lot of what they were saying about how to keep your reader intrugied.
