Although the audience for writing assignments—your readers—may not appear in person, they play a vital role in the development of your writing. Even in everyday writing activities, you identify your readers’ characteristics, interests, and expectations before making decisions about what you write.
Our writing in is not only for us but also for those who read it since they are the ones who need to understand the message.
Managing your time
We have to prevent leaving things to the last minute.
Discourse communities exist in more than just academic situations. Imagine that you make a New Year’s resolution to become healthier. You make a goal to start exercising more every week. You first choose the genre of exercise, and you debate whether to begin being active at a park, through a sports team at a recreation center, or with the help of experts at a gym.
Basically is finding people with your same goals and learning together on how to accomplish that goal.
Many students feel intimidated asking for help with academic writing; after all, it’s something you’ve been doing your entire life in school.
