Did you rely more on syllables, words, ideas or a combination of all of them?

I relied on words and ideas. Combining ideas and phrases can give the reader an overall logical flow of thought. Sound ideas can be a good way of presenting the overall story. This is enhanced by the skillful use of words. The idea is to illustrate the whole process through the transformation of scenes in the plot while converting the words into emojis to make the entire process reasonable and easy to understand. Since my story is not a film, it is difficult to explain the whole development in a sequential timely manner.

Did you start with the title? Why? Why not?

I started with the title mainly because of the potential perception from logical thinking. The title is the beginning of every article or story, and most of the time, individuals are attracted to the title first and then start to get interested in the story. So starting with the header is an excellent way to emphasize the whole story I desire to convey and explain.

Did you choose the work based on how easy would it be to visualize? 

In all honesty, yes, I did choose it because it was simple. In my original idea, I had two shows I had recently watched that I wanted to demonstrate through emojis, but I tried, which was very difficult. I chose the above story because it was relatively simple to convey the whole story through emojis. Through this task, I did find it very difficult to obtain a report or a film with terms. It’s possible that I’m not very good at conveying things with emojis. At the same time, I don’t use emojis much in my daily life either. Therefore, I have to choose the most straightforward work for me and bring it as much as possible in the form of visualization.

Do you normally write by hand or type? Did you find this task difficult or easy? Explain.

I usually use a laptop or desktop to type regardless of writing essays or notes. The main reason I prefer tying over handwriting is that typing has an auto spelling correction function. At the same time, I could choose a different format and front when typing on my computer or phone. Therefore, I rarely write things by hand, and in the above pictures, I clearly see that my script is getting worse.

I found the task difficult because handwriting is not something I practice every day, and I spent a very long time thinking of a topic to write. Also, writing by hand is time-consuming, and the paper print is messy. At the same time, the whole story is not organized, and the structure of the story lacks critical thinking but is just typical casual storytelling. Another difficulty I faced is that typing could quickly correct or delete the whole sentence when making mistakes, whereas writing by hand, we have to manually cross out the words and rewrite the sentence. Thus, this is a difficult task for someone who does not practice handprint daily.

What did you do when you made a mistake or wanted to change your writing? How did you edit your work? Did your choice of media play a part in how you edited your work?

I often rewrite the sentence and cross out the mistakes in words or sentences. I edit my work by proofreading and using other grammar correction tools, such as Grammarly, to improve the overall quality of my work. The choice of media did play a part in how I edited my work. The reason is that different media could provide various solutions and features for other purposes.

What do you feel is the most significant difference between writing by hand and using mechanized forms of writing? Which do you prefer and why?

The most significant difference between writing by hand and using mechanized forms is that typing is easier and faster than writing by hand. More specifically, typing could benefit from an efficient writing process and make editing any incorrect sentence or word choice easy. For example, the most effective tool for typing will be the auto spelling correction, which could help the writer immediately correct any spelling errors and save the time to read and check the spelling when writing by hand. Furthermore, using the mechanized form of writing could provide different fronts and designs for the writers. I prefer using mechanized forms of writing because, as an English as a second language person, spelling has always been an issue for me for many years. However, spelling auto corrction helped me solve the problem, and tying becomes user-friendly for second language learners. Therefore, tying writing could increase the overall efficiency and make writing in English effectively for ELL individuals or users.

Here is my unscripted story using the voice-to-text tool:

” Hi today I’m just going to share another story about a person losing 30 pounds after body weight oK first of all this person is a friend of mine so he’s kind of like having a really unhealthy eating habits and not exercise I don’t so he come to me for help because he knows that I am I in the past I have lost 30 pounds so if you want to do the same Yas me for advice such as how how would you how do you did it it could you please give me a name of somebody buys about how do achieve go like those so I told him OK actually I didn’t did it by myself I asked the trainer to help me to reach my goal OK so you guys really excited you told me OK could you please introduce me to him trainer but I told him that I believe you made a trainer do you need to start to have a little bit of sense about why do you want to lost the weight and then could you I will say or how did you gonna stay consistent so I give him look bad idea about how do actual size how to eating out how to eat very healthy and in depth to selection and also how do you calculate your calorie and then I am also told there is certain exercise you should do instead of doing weight training you sure fuckers are cardio exercise and then he listen to me and then change he is eating habit however he stuck in a person doesn’t really want to exercise OK so I told him when I do my coach told me that I am just remember one thing if you want to lose your weight consistent consistency is the key OK you need to continuously doing what you do you can I’ll stop at once so I told him it is very difficult to stay consistent but you just have to treat yourselves and then I help yourself to create darken down mentality so I told him dad for the first three months I’ll be the most difficult time and then because undefinedmost beginner fail at first or month because I am first month that will be to you will see a progression really fast $.40 I lost about 10 pounds however I stopped losing weight or in a bit slow down until after 45 month then I hit hit the 15 pounds go because of that the Demi reason I will say is that I am person will get on what’s the last certain ways they can I’ll stay focus and it thinking OK now I have lost this much why don’t give my cell a big treat so I told my friend OK so you got to stay consistent you were dirt to lotta weight and then I told him one thing that I even told myself is that there’s not a thing in the world no matter how hard you try you still can get the best of it or you still can’t have half the best result however losing weight or tree exercise you will see results you will see it definitely as long as you put effort much after that you put in and a better result you will get after that my friend kind of listen to me and then told me that out OK great I listen to advise and I am I’m finding another trainer and then now he become a trainer that is really amazing that I am changing a person so I’m not exercise to a personal trainer I will state that since the yard really is spring story that I want to share to everybody”.

How does the text deviate from conventions of written English?

The text directly transformed my voice of storing to written format. The text didn’t follow the grammar rule, and many mistakes were found. At the same time, the text itself could not define the actual meaning the presenter trying to explain to the audience. On the other hand, the readers of the text could misunderstand the story, and the text could implement a negative impact on the presenter’s educational background.

What is “wrong” in the text? What is “right”?

The “right” thing about this text is that it fully captured every signal word when I told the story. On the other, there are many “wrong” things in the text. For example, my tool is not intelligent enough to correct my grammar and provide effective word choices. Another is that the numbers I’m trying to identify are “wrong” according to the text. Therefore, readers might be confused about the story’s structure, and it may be challenging for the readers to follow.

What are the most common “mistakes” in the text and why do you consider them “mistakes”?

The most common mistakes in the text are grammar, vocabulary and numbers. In the text, the words are as simple as casual storytelling. At the same time, many words could not be appropriately identified and changed the sentence’s meaning. Readers of the text could not continuously follow the story. I consider them as mistakes because the mistakes typical in the text could be avoided if appropriately written. The voice tool makes another common mistake in defining the correct enumeration.  The text often mistakenly showed different numbers as I spoke during my recording. For instance, the weight loss number thirteen instead of thirty and this small mistake could impact the importance of the story.

What if you had “scripted” the story? What difference might that have made?

If I had the chance to script the story, there would be a massive difference between the text indicated above. The whole process will be faster because everything will be written down. Another benefit is that the grammar mistakes and word choice could be more effective. At the same time, most of the common mistakes could have been avoided if I had scripted the story. In addition, the text could work efficiently for the readers to follow, and more minor misunderstandings could appear.

Furthermore,  the text will be efficiently presented concisely and directly if the story is scripted. However, the scripted story might create effective for the speaker to offer. The same mistake may occur if using the same tool. For instance, even if I write down the correct number I want to say, the device may also provide a different number.

In what ways does oral storytelling differ from written storytelling? 

From my perspective, the main difference between oral storytelling and written storytelling is that oral storytelling could create more resonance than written storytelling. The oral storytelling presenter could use various factors to influence the audience. For example, oral storytelling could positively impact the audience by using different voice tones and putting more emotions into bringing an immersive environment. Whereas written storytelling is based on the writer’s writing skill, grammar and the educational background of the readers. Another difference is that many individuals prefer to listen rather than read the texts. At the same time, in today’s society, social media has made many individuals lose patience with reading and thinking independently rather than listening or watching others’ thoughts. However, written storytelling could be a powerful way to influence others by using some simple words. For example, a knowledgeable writer could use one or two sentences to explain a very complex story. The words could also be very inspiring, and readers could learn and adopt from the writer’s perspective. Therefore, the method of receiving a message is another way of difference between oral and written storytelling.
