Good Reading and Writing

I believe that good reading consists of actively engaging with the text. This could mean highlighting key words and phrases or writing little side notes or questions in the margins. These two skills aren't necessary for "good" reading but they do help the reader to reflect on the text they are examining in a more consistent matter. Good reading also consists of relating to the text as much as possible. It is always a good sign when you are finding different connections to your own experiences through the text. I believe that good wiring is about how well you convey your subject to the audience. If the sentences are well strung together with a clear flow the writing tends to be enjoyable. I also believe word choice is a big part of writing. When a certain verb or adjective is over-used it makes the writing bland. The use of words like "good" or "bad" are quite cliché and can almost always be exchanged for better and descriptive adjectives. These are just a few elements "good" reading and writing consist of but there are many more.
