Difference In Grades

 When writing a paper there are a few factors that would make the difference in grades. Repetition of words, clear descriptions, and how the parts of the paper are put in order can make the difference between the letter grades of an "A" or a "C".

Repetition of words is a key aspect to writing a good paper. It is important to NOT use the same words over and over because this can make a paper boring. This repetition of words will loose the audience due to their lack of interest in the paper. You want to spice up the paper and keep it interesting by switching up the vocabulary you use throughout the paper. This will make the paper more interesting/enjoyable to the reader. This part is hardest for me because sometimes I feel like I have used all of my brain power and then I'll notice that many words are the same and it takes me a long time in order to find other words that still do the same job as the word used repeatedly.

Having clear descriptions in your paper is necessary in order for it to get a good grade. If everything in the essay is described by words such as "good" or "hard" then it will not be receiving an A grade. It would be better to have words like "wonderful" or "difficult" then those simple boring words. Also with more clear description the audience will like the essay more and they will be able to understand the essay more. If the essay is enjoyable and easy to understand then it is likely to receive a higher grade. This is my strong point. I  always try to paint a picture with words(I know it sounds cliche). That's how my 4th grade teacher taught me how to write and that's how I've been doing it since. So far it has worked out pretty good.

Along with word repetition and clear description comes with how the paper is put together. Having a paper make no sense to the audience would be a major problem. Depending on where the paragraph is placed in a paper it can save a lot of time and explanation. If all of the paragraphs are put in their ideal places then the essay should make sense to the audience. If the essay is totally out of order then it would be very difficult for the audience to understand.
