1.     understanding vocabulary is very important to the English society. Having a big understanding of vocabulary and advanced terms can get you far in life.  She is saying that if you understand vocabulary, reading will become more clear and comprehendible to the person that is trying to read. 

3.  to me, writing and speech are a like. The difference is the way you use words when you write and talk. People can have a excellent writing qualities, but when it comes to talking they use a lot of slang. When writing a paper or something they teach you not to use slang cause it is not correct.

5.   when people begin to write, they can lose focus on what they write about. They lose site on what the main focus is and what they are trying to explain or tell the reader.  People will begin to talk about different things as they write, such as they will get off topic or just completely change the subject.

7. revising is a big step in the writing process. You always want to go back and change what you have done incorrect. You want to improve on those mistakes and make it a lot better to gain the readers attention and make sure they have a great time reading the book.
