Mr. Tangen did a very effective job
in the audio commentary and was able to transmit several important points to
keep in mind in every research paper I write. First of all, I completely agree
that the title is one of the most important parts in a document, since it not only captures the reader’s attention, but it provides a
very brief insight on what the paper will be about. Also, I agree that the
language government uses is very particular since it has to be very careful
with saying inappropiate words or ideas that might be misinterpreted since it
can result in nation-wide chaos. I found it very interesting as I was
listening to the audio commentary to see that sometimes I was redundant with
some ideas. I believe I did this with the intention of making my point clear
and maybe because that was a crucial point in my argument. Nevertheless, I
recognize that these points could be made without the necessity
to reapeat myself.
In addition, I also considered the
subtitles to be effective in my research paper since they visually helped the
reader to see how the document was layed out and the different topics I was
going to discuss. Another suggestion Mr. Tangen made was to avoid wordiness and
long sentences. These two suggestions go together because wordiness lead to
long sentences. Varying the length of my sentences will most definitely make me
write more concisely. Finally, it is important to point out that there was one
case in which I needed to revise gramar. I wrote “reflects on” instead of
reflects. This is due to the fact that there are some times that I think what I
am going to say in Spanish and then translate it in my mind to English. I have
to get used to thinking in English when writing in English and thinking in
Spanish when writing in Spanish.
