Revision can be seen as a method to recapitulate what was writing to ensure that ideas are connected, grammatical mistakes are corrected, and to add or delete the information that are necessary to better achieve the message to be conveyed.
When I write to school, I usually revise while I am writing and as soon as I finish writing it. While writing it, I constantly go back to the main Idea of the paragraph to make sure that the information belongs to that paragraph, or if it supports the main idea. After that I try to ensure that it makes sense and if I achieved my goal. Next, I read it out loud to make sure that my sentences make sense to myself, then I ask someone else to read. I usually ask a friend to read and I ask what was understood. Then, I take my paper to the writing center to be proofread, but not always I have the chance to do so. I generally revise because english is not my first language, and because I think it is important to receive the feedback from other readers. If they understood the message or idea I am trying to convey, then I was successful with my writing.
