There are times in my life where I have to think like a tortoise to achieve goals.

In my writing I have to think like a tortoise to make it better. My goal in my writing is to be at 4b or higher in my e asttle test by the end of year 8. To achieve this goal I need to work slowly on each area of my writing. Some of the specific goals I have are to use more details and information in my writing, use complex and elaborated ideas,structural features which are appropriate to purpose and some show development (may be one well-developed element with others less developed), use correct sentence punctuation and start using more complex punctuation as my sentences become longer.

One of the things I am doing to improve my chances of reaching my goals is that I am having tutoring at Kip Mcgrath after school on Mondays. I have been going there for three weeks now and I have done some spelling, writing and comprehension.

I think that doing this extra work will really help me to improve my writing. I will be very happy if I am at or above the National Standard for Writing at the end of the year. This will happen if I continue to use a tortoise approach to my learning.
