In my case, it took only one hour to writ 1st draft from scratch including of thinking. On the other hand, it took a couple of hours to revise 2nd and 3rd each. I thought that revising was much easier than writing, but in fact, I think revising is much harder than writing. Answering Peter’s comment made me consider thoroughly whether my writing is well organized or not.
How long did you take to revise your writing? and nommaly how long should we take to do it?
I would like to know peer's opinions.

Michiyo,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting such a very relevant question for discussion.
I am also interested in knowing what your classmates think about this.
I take about 1 to 2 hours for revising my writing. When you revise the writing, it would probably need to check not only words or grammar but also your ideas or organizing for the paragraph which once you thought it was correct. However I like revising the writing because I can see how upgraded my writing compared to the first writing, and also I can easily understand how I should show you what I want to tell you. I believe that it must help improving our skills of writing, and someday we can make it less time to write or revise because we could know how to write well thorough the practices.
ReplyDeleteI use all of the times that I have to revise my writing.I always spend time more than 2 hours for
ReplyDeletechecking .Because I have a few of vocabulary in my head.Moreover,the vocabulary that I know is too easy,not to be good for using in a academic writing.I don't know that,another people have a problem same like me.I think that,if I know a lof of vocabs,it will help me to spend a short time for a writing.
Usually I take more than 2 hours to revise my writing. For the first assignment, I took 2 hours when I was doing the 2nd draft because I repeated it carefully many time and I don’t know where to correct it and how to make a better paragraph more than the first one. After that, in 3rd draft and last draft I took 2 hours for it. The last draft I take 2 hours again because I confused a little about the meaning of colours and footnotes. I think the serious problem that is I had not usually practice to edit the writing by myself . That’s why I take more time to do it. I think some of our classmate might have the same problem as me.
ReplyDeleteI spend about 2 hours or more than that to revise my writing.Because I have to think how to organise my idea and find some mistake and corrected them.For me I think when I revise my writing it can make me improve my writing skill and when I have read all of my classmate's assighment and the comment that Peter give to us,this is very useful for me.when I read all of those finish I can know how can I corrected my assighment.
ReplyDeleteI spend one and half or two hours for the first and the second draft. But for the third and last draft I take about 40 minutes. But when I revise the second draft I feel more difficult than the first, because I have to think of another way or what I can do to make it better, sometime I change the whole of my organization and my ideas.
ReplyDeleteI usually take 1 hour to revise my writing because I think how to correct my mistake that Peter's comment and I am not sure that the mistake I correct is right or still wrong so I change it many times. About how long we should take to revise, I think we should take no more than one hour or less than one hour is better. We have to practice how to think and write more quickly because in the real life or when you study in higher education, there are many assignments or research that we have to write more than one paragraph that Peter assign for us.
