LATIHAN 3.1.2

I feel that having paper read by a classmate is extremely important and helpful if the person is honest and willing to write down what he feels can be useful to the author.
One thing that I very often find people is too lenient and polite when they respond to a paper. They tend to write down all positive points because they feel guilty or foolish cutting down the papers. This does not benefit the author at all. The reason for getting reader reaction to a paper is to receive a second or third opinion. Let’s face it, in most cases there is a room for improvement in any paper. The job of the reader is to make helpful comments so that the author can go back and write an even better paper.
One example which I found fortunately, I had a very good reader. Seanu Ratu helped me out in many ways. She did encourage me and said that I could have a very good paper. But she also pointed out to me that my ideas weren’t developed clearly. She told me that I needed to have some “backing” for what I said. She also told me that examples would help a lot and would help tie the ideas together, too. And she brought to my attention that my conclusion was weak. Then she gave me what I hope was a good idea for my conclusion.
After Seanu Ratu finished reading and reacting to my paper, I went back and rewrote the whole paper, trying to develop and link my ideas together. I do feel that there was a definite improvement from my first rough draft to the second. Therefore, I feel having a reader’s reaction is very beneficial to the writer and should be used when writing any paper.
