Analysis: Though there are some plural and verb problems here, they are minor to the wordy and wandering writing style. The writer did have a essay model to follow: Reading the politics section helps thinking, writing, and speaking. Unfortunately, the paragraphs discuss the benefits of those activities themselves and not how reading politics can help them. In fact, politics is hardly mentioned at all, and no examples are given of politically-motivated ideas or concepts. There is no indication that the writer has read the politics section.
Credibility in writing is very important, for if a reader is to accept the ideas and opinions of the writer, she or he must see the writer as honest and believable - someone who has experienced what is written about. Compare this essay with the 6/6 essay in terms of credibility.
