What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?

Email is an ancient form of communication. Few people use emails today. I imagine the kinds of people that use it are substitute teachers and parole officers. People use emails to create accounts on stuff. I know nothing about this so called “email etiquette”.

Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed writing or hated writing. Why?

I enjoy writing very much; I enjoy all kinds of writing all the time. The ability to write is important because it is the ability to tell a story and to communicate, if you cannot write well there are many things that you will struggle with. I enjoy writing for fun and telling a story because you can really get creative and do whatever you want to do and tell a story how you want it to be told.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.
 

An example of this quote in my life is studying for a math test. I had a math test and I failed to prepare, and I did not know at the time that I was preparing to fail. I did very poorly on the test and should have studied. In order to succeed at something you must put in the work and if you don’t you will fail.

What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

Research is important so you can back up your opinions. You need to know how to research so you can do well on work and be accurate. I have learned that it is important to use reliable resources so your information is accurate and your opinions will have good evidence. I think that all of my teachers have helped me in different ways. They have all told me different ways of researching and finding evidence.
