A good writing is free of errors in grammar and punctuation, conforms to the conventions of Standard American English, is sensitive to the level of formality required by the paper, conveys a clear sense of the writer’s purpose, carries out an effective strategy in terms of development of thoughts and argumentations, demonstrates good style, engaging the reader with its use of diction and punctuation.

As a student having knowledge about the characteristics of a well-written text will help me in my academic writing because this will guide me on how to produce a good report or journal.  This gives me an idea on what to include and not while writing.

And at the end these helps me in assessing myself if I have improved or not.
