Wider vocabulary- . A difference between an A paper and a C paper is having a Good vocabulary. It is indispensable for  more effective writing, it helps your reader know your stance. Using a higher vocabulary in every essay and when speaking can make a big difference in becoming a better writer. For example, writing "People do a lot of things" is very poor and you can improve it by writing "People perform a lot of tasks". Strong verbs can give the audience good information and can have a better understanding. 
  • For me, writing with a wider vocabulary is very important. But it is also very difficult because my vocabulary is not as advanced as i would want it to be. I would not want to use the wrong word at the wrong time. I think that is less important, the importance to good writing is for your reader to know what is the point that you are trying to get across.
 
Unity & Coherence - Coherence is a very important, a writer should always be able to organize their thoughts. And the essay should make sense and be continuous.  A lot of people tend to loose coherence by  not staying in topic. It is also very important to make your essay flow when transitioning from one idea to the other. So, it is very important to be able to organize your ideas before starting a paper. 
  • I find it very helpful to plan my essay before writing it because like that i can be able to organize my ideas and not be getting out of topic speaking about other non-sense topics. Therefore, Using Unity & coherence is very essential when writing an essay.  
Editing & Proofreading-  Editing and proofreading is important because even when you think you wrote a good paper it might not be. It is very useful to print out a copy before turning it in and making any changes. I think a writer should always have a rough draft because the first draft might not be perfect. Always read it out loud a couple times and have a friend or teacher read it as well. Having grammar or punctuation mistakes can make a difference between having a C in a paper rather than getting an A. Teacher's expect their students not to have so many mistakes and have some what of a perfect paper with no mistakes. 
  • I think that having a peer review your essay is very important because you they might be able to catch some mistakes that you were not able to catch. They might also be able to criticize your paper to make it better. Following the re-writing process is very helpful to making a good paper.
