Style Academy- Issues Paper

For my style academy assignment for the Issues Paper, I took my first body paragraph and practiced sentence combining. There were two sentences that I found in my paragraph that I realized I was able to combine. This exercise helped my paragraph to not be as repetitive. It was very beneficial for me to be able to read through this paragraph and see areas where I can improve. I not only made corrections in sentence combining, but also added more information and used a semi-colon and dash within my work. I believe that doing this exercise helped my paragraph flow nicely. Doing this exercise also helped my paper sound more professional, gave me good practice in using punctuation marks that I normally would not have used, and gave me good practice in removing repetition.
