The Writing Process
To write a good academic paper, it is important to follow the writing process. There are several steps in the writing process. The steps can be divided into four parts; pre-writing, writing, reviewing and revising. First, previewing involves thinking about your topic, brainstorming, writing down your thoughts, and organizing your thoughts into an outline. Good writing, like everything else in life always starts with thinking. Second, you write the first draft using your outline. Third, you have someone read your first draft and tell you what they liked and how you can improve your writing. This is called peer review. You review their comments and decide how you are going to change your paper in the second draft. Finally, you revise your paper and write the second draft, taking the peer review comments into consideration and your own ideas about how to improve your paper. Then you proofread your paper for any errors in format, grammar, spelling, and punctuation, Now you have finished your second draft and your paper is ready to submit to your instructor. In conclusion, if you have followed all these steps in the writing process, from pre-writing to revising, you will write a good paper that will receive a good grade. Good luck!

I had learned literature in my country. I know when we want to write a good academic paper, we need to have 4 parts : prewiring, writing, reviewing, and revising, but I never do same thing, I just think a bout the topic, write down a academic and revise. I know I was bad, but i didn't like literature, I like number, I didn't spend a lot of time for literature, give a lot of time for math and chemistry. Now I need to change, because I am learning english, I need to spend all my free time for English, study harder, do enough 4 part when I write a academic and receive a good grade. hihi
