“Revision strategies of student writers and experience adult writers”
In this article we can see the differences between a student writer and an adult writer. The
adult has more knowledge and more experience so he can make the essay easier to
understand and more interesting, the adult writer in the experiment would revise the
drafts more thoroughly to the point some would change the entire point of the essay or
concentrate more on a point they made previously in the other draft. Experiences writers
describe their primary objective when revising. The student has more mistakes in they
work, and the students tend to reread the essay and try to use different words and
different way to say the same thing. The students make just simple fixtures to the essays,
most of the time they just make grammatical fixtures or just rewrite something with
different words, the student just find simple mistakes. To an experienced writer the first
draft is the only draft full of ideas the other drafts were just organizing the ideas made in
the first draft, to them grammar was just the last point to correct in their papers. Student
writers need to use the possibility of revision in order to become experienced.
