Synonyms of "Writing" and their differences

Q: Jaka jest różnica między writing i composition i essay ?
A: All three words would technically be correct in those sentences, though they all have different connotations and more specific definitions.

In most cases, an essay would refer to a short piece of writing on a particular subject, such as an essay a student must write for school, or an article on a newspaper or website.

A writing is a very vague and general word that can refer to any formation of words or even just sentences. A more formal expression would be “a written work” as opposed to “writing.” In the case of your example, while it certainly would be correct, I just say “Could you please correct this for me” considering the writing that “this” refers to is about to be seen by your listener/reader, so it is very understood and therefore redundant to use a vague and general term.

The word composition can have many different connotations to it, such as in a school setting where a teacher requires compositions on something in particular as homework for their students. This use might work for your sentences since the thing you are writing is probably just for English practice and not meant to actually make a point, evoke a feeling, or tell a story, and that makes perfect sense with “composition.”

Keep In mind that a composition can also refer specifically to a musical piece, or a song. For example: “Mozart’s classical compositions are so soothing to my ears.”

To make things simple, I would personally say to use a word that specifically describes the type of writing you are talking about.

If it’s a letter, say “Will you correct my letter?”

If it’s writing practice, say “Will you correct these practice sentences I wrote.”

If it’s a story, you could say something like “Would you correct my story’s grammar?”

Q: I’m writing an opinion essay about small towns. Could you guys check it out for me and please let me know if there anything wrong.
—To be away from the hustle and bustle, small towns are less crowded. You will not encounter with a traffic jam because there are not much cars in a little village. Moreover, it saves your time going to work or school. You can even walk from place to place since there are many walk sides, which provides for pedestrians. In Healdsburg, California, it is a small tourist-oriented town, where has sufficient economies. Most of residents there live in housing estate that is not too much adjacent, and painted in warm colors; white, gray and cream. The Healdsburg village is suitable for big families. There is a little street, where is safe for children playing outside.—
Thank you☺️
