12．You must have written your research paper，your personal essay，your book review-----whatever your school class requires．You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．（36）C
But is it really done？Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．（37）G
Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students．The classroom is a good place to practice patience，concentration and listening．There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way．You should put away your paper after you have written a first version，or draft．Wait several hours，maybe overnight，before working on it more．（38）D Not only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．That's what revision literally means-to see again through different eyes．
Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step in the process is invention．It includes forming many questions about your subject．It is called"question-storming"．（39）BThen comes the revision period．Take your time to read what you've written，to think about it，and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now，as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader's eyeglasses rather than a writer's．The fourth step is called"publication"．（40）EIn a sense，anytime you turn it over to another person，that's publication．
Probably，the process takes away some of the tension of writing．And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing．
A．Perfect writing is not possible．
B．In the second step，you draft and compose a paper．
C．And you feel good because your work is finished．
D．This is just like returning to a job after a vacation．
E．This does not mean your writing is professional publication．
F．What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper．
G．In other words，writing well means making needed changes and rewriting．
