Audra Foster Professor Ann Fetterman Engl 202A 15 January 2025 Reflection on Ted Talk Something that really stuck with me from the Ted Talk was the idea of the three Cs for writing. The three Cs are to be clear, concise, and correct in your writing. I’m used to writing papers that are extremely specific and descriptive, which means they are usually very wordy. I tend to struggle with being clear with what I’m writing. When I’m writing, the words tend to come out jumbled and often don’t make much sense to those reading my papers. I don’t usually struggle with being correct in my writing as I try to research my information to the best of my ability to ensure it’s right so that I’m not misinforming those who are reading what I write. I feel like this concept could help me because I’m used to using a lot of words so learning how to get my point across without overusing words and confusing readers so being able to write more concisely will help get my point across easier. I’m hoping that learning how to use the three Cs in my writing will help me in the future when I write longer papers for higher level classes. I want to be able to write using the three Cs, because I believe it will help give my papers a more professional feel when reading them.
