How to correctly say "I attach great importance to documenting my code."

Question

A friend explained me that the sentence `I attach great importance to documenting my work." sounds french. I can I better say so?

The context is a cover letter in which I would like to express some strengths I have in my field of expertise.

Answer 1

You have many options for communicating that same point, although that sentence is not wrong or even difficult to understand. If you want some alternatives:

I think it is very important to document my work

or

I find documenting my work very important

or

I think it very important to document my work

or

I place great importance on documenting my work

or

I always document my work; I think it's important to do so.
