and mathematics. Ancient Chinese inventions such as gunpowder, silk, paper, printing, tea, wheel barrow, iron plows, deep drilling, porcelain, toilet paper and the compass were and still are important pieces of Chinese and global life.

not good enough. For example, this is my fourth time trying to write an opening paragraph, my third time writing just this sentence, and I only settled on the words “opening paragraph” after writing both “first paragraph” and “the beginning of this paper.” It’s not that I have an issue finding the words, I just can’t seem to put them in an order i like.

When I am done writing the rough draft, I read through and make any correction that needs to be made. I type the final draft on my computer and save it. The biggest challenge I have when writing is if I did the paper corrected and did I format everything

learning profile paper, and what I’m going to do differently the next time I have to write a paper. I’ve learned a lot from writing the learning profile paper mainly from the self reflection it took to answer the questions posed in the paper. The question that caught me off guard the most was “what are my strengths and limitations as a learner.” Before I wrote this paper I hadn’t put much thought into my strengths or weaknesses I was generally aware of my weaknesses but I’m glad this paper forced me to

when they get to college they can pass their classes. This means that high school teachers only teach them to write so specifically and in such a hard structured manner, that many students hardly ever learn to write papers that flow. In high school, I always wrote really nice papers that my teachers enjoyed grading, however, I always hated writing them because if I did not use the cookie cutter format that they gave us, my teachers would not accept the work. The format that I am referring to goes
