    An adept writer usually depends on an existing way of writing which they learnt from others. The basic procedures of academic writing can be found in the templates which would help students to be familiar with conventional writing patterns and to make more sounded arguments. The most essential template in the book is the “they say, I say” template that teaches students to react to the arguments made by other people. The authors believed that a well-argued academic writing should include the opinion of others so that readers will know why there is a need to make an argument. The arguments that writers respond to do not have to be an eminent writer or the audience. From the template, we can learn that we do not need to be restricted to agreement and disagreement. We can agree and disagree at the same time. In addition, templates can help students to make more complicated moves…

    Composition 2 has revolutionized my understanding of what it takes to make writing a powerful tool. The most amazing aspect of this course was for me to see the ways I grew in how I wrote, and what I wrote for, especially with the affirmative action paper. In practicality, I learned how to choose more supporting evidence from a vast collection of articles. Intellectually, I acquired the ability to understand what mattered to me, why it did, and how writing can bring forth a second opinion to many who may have opposed…
