Introduction:
The Smart goal of writing skills is needed to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Relevant and Time-bounded which gives aid to me to breakdown large writing goals into
small assignment writing. The smart goal is helpful to measure my daily progress in my
writing skills.

Academic study skills:
The proper writing skill is an essential ability for every academic student who enhances their
career in the field of print media, writing blogs and could be a professional writer. So, I get
the knowledge from the various sources that I need to focus on my writing skills which are I
identified in the examination results and the assessment which is an attempt in the past time.
The writing skill needs to be developed by time because there are lots of written exams,
reports, presentations and assessment conducted by the schools and colleges.
Personal development of study skills:
I realise that my writing skill is improved from the past few time because I get more score in
the subjects which is all possible because of my improving writing skill. So, I keep continue
my blogging habit and write on the random topic so that my ability of thinking and
innovation get an excellent opportunity (Price, et. al., 2016). I improve my writing skill than I
get the opportunity to handle the vast seminars which depend on the writing presentation or
writing competition.
The requirement for successful undergraduate studies:
The required elements which I think should be required for the successful undergraduate
study are an effective way to attempt the exams questions and always ready to join the
writing competition. These are the requirements which need to be available in the
undergraduate students because it’s developed the confidence in the student.
Ability to focus on self-improvement:
I think that self-motivate is the main feature which needs to develop in every academic
student because then it encouraged the student to rally the writing skills through the various
sources. I should identify my past mistakes which I attempt in the exams or any writing
competition that is helpful to recover the mistakes in the current situation and remember that
it will not follow in the future.
Ability to organise and structure text:
This is compulsory for me to understand that how to organise and structure my each text so
that my sentence formation attain all the requirements that fulfil my writing skills
4

(Wibrowski, et. al., 2017)I understand that every text which I choose in my writing content
which is appropriate and relevant for my subject.
Ability to use style appropriate language:
I should know the academic criteria of the writing and use only that language in my content
which reflects my knowledge and skills in the particular subject. This is necessary to
understand that unwanted language style sometimes destroys the meaning of the content.
5

Conclusion:
It concluded from the above report that I should continue my blogging habit which is helpful
to identify my mistakes and improvise the writing skills through the feedbacks. I confidently
attempt the writing competition so that analyse the scale of my writing performance.
