Average number of words in sentence- 18
Total number of "hard" words - 9
18+9=27
27*0.4=10.8

Fog Index-10 th or 11th grade level

I thought my writing level would be 7th grade, I was surprised. I also learned from this exercise that my writing is a little too wordy and I should try to minimize the amount of words I have in each sentence.


Writing Sample-
This story really surprised me because personally I have not heard about Osama Bin Laden for some time now. It is also the first time in three years that he has appeared in video. Rumors were being said that he died of kidney failure in the end of last year or the beginning of this year. That is why the story surprised me that he was on television because I thought he had died. He addressed that the war would not stop unless if they won or Americans converted to Islam. Officials are still trying to figure out more information but the video seems to be recent because it has recent information in it.
