The following is the writing process undergone by Anne on writing assignment of writing about some annoyance in everyday life. Step 1: Pre-writing ? Freewriting ? Making a List ? Preparing a scratch outline Freewriting: a model There are lots of things I get annoyed by. One of them that bothers me most is people who keep complaining about everything. If you are having trouble, do something about it. Don’t just keeping complaining and talking. I am really annoyed by traffic. There are too many cars in our block and it’s not surprising. Everyone has a car, the parents have cars and the kids have cars, and they’re all coming and going all the time and often driving too fast. Speeding up and down the street. We need a speed limit sign. I am really bothered when I have to drive to the movies all the congestion along the way plus there are just so many cars there at the mall. No space even though the parking lot is huge it just fills up with cars. Movies are a bother anyway because the people can be annoying who are sitting there in the theatre with you, talking and dropping popcorn cups and acting like they are at home when they’re not. 1 Adopted from Langan (2013: 22-49).
