Question

Can someone just real quickly proof read these two paragraphs I have written before I submit this assignment to my teacher?

Answer 1

Here is my work:
Arlington Reader Chapter 1 & 2 Response
After reading, and then re-reading chapters 1 and 2 of the Arlington Reader I discovered some key concepts that I have not been using in my writing. I haven’t been paying enough attention to form, structure, style, voice or tone. These characteristics of writing are important because your writing should have as much personality as you do. While reading Chapter 1, I learned that I must first plan and design before writing. In order to become an excellent writer I must learn how to pay attention to words, sentences, paragraphs and the way my writing puts together thoughts and ideas. Having a well structured essay makes the essay easier to follow. You should provide the reader with clear paragraphs that have smooth transitions. I also learned about style and tone in Chapter 1. In order to make a piece of writing more interesting you must give it flare, an attitude! I provide too much literal meaning in my writing, instead I need to use irony, rhythm and flavor. You can provide the reader with a ‘songlike’ pattern in your writing or even a rhyming rhythm to shake things up.
I learned all about understanding your audience in Chapter 2 of the Arlington Reader. Focusing on who you are writing to and what they expect will change your writing dramatically. You will want to establish a relationship with your reader by drawing them into your writing. Usually the audience will expect certain aspects in your writing such as: is it clear? Are the paragraphs knowledgeable? The audience will want your writing to be credible to the subject. When inventing or brainstorming for your writing I learned to ask myself these three questions: Are you writing to inform? Are you writing to persuade? Or are you writing to express yourself? For this assignment, I was told by my instructor to ‘note what I have learned or something that I find important/interesting in Chapters 1 and 2 of the Arlington Reader’ so I would be writing to express what I personally find important and inform my instructor what I have learned. To express when writing usually involves using the key word ‘I’ to talk about one’s personal feelings about a topic. While informing someone requires facts and information delivered to the reader with a less personal feel. In this assignment I like to think that I have used both expressing and informing to present my learning of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Arlington Reader.

Answer 2

Delete the comma in the first sentence after "reading", and put a comma after "Arlington Reader". Other than that, it looks great. :)
