My Weakness In English

A primary strength in my writing is my ability to present a strong argument with clarity and support. Another strength I have in writing is a considerable knowledge of appealing to audiences and I take full advantage of my persuasive nature to create solid arguments. Additionally, I find that my writing is enhanced with an extensive vocabulary and a firm grasp on the English langue. I believe these things, the ability to make a sound argument, a strong capacity to appeal to an audience and firm control of vocabulary and language conventions make me a good

Predominately I enjoy writing the most, I am fond of finding the right words and arranging them in a way that expresses my point or tells a story. Chiefly I dislike the technicalities of English, mainly the stipulations of grammar. Therefore, I hope to improve upon this skill.

When I first started English 101, I saw myself as having a few good strengths and a lot of weaknesses as a writer. Some of my strengths included being able to write a good introduction minus the thesis part. I also saw myself as knowing how to write a good conclusion that summarized what I talked about in my essay and being able to understand a article or essay by knowing what the author was talking about. Some of the improvements I saw in my writing thorough out the semester is learning how to write an essay where I can communicate with the audience with my own personal voice. I also feel I improved on knowing how to properly include quotes and how to find good creditable sources to include in my essay and on how to include both sides of a argument in my paper. Another improvement I found in my papers is learning how to revise them and approach each essay. However, there are some items of writing that I believe I improved on but still needs some work. For example, even though I have learned all about the rhetorical appeals and how to determine them in a essay, I still feel as if I do not know how to properly included them in my essay. I also see myself as improving on knowing how to write a thesis but still need work on

As a new immigrant, I took the accuplacer test and went straight to 111 English level. So, English 111 course became my first college English class. It seems like a great achievement for a French speaker. Nonetheless, this performance linked to significant challenges. Even though I am a fighter and an optimist, I was frightened about my academic achievement for this semester. The problems became bigger when I took my first practice test on sentence structure (fragments and run-ons) and got a D. I was frightened and felt that I will have to drop the class. However, I decided not to give up. I started working hard and had a V+ on the next test. This positive grade energized me until now. During this semester, I have much homework and practices which allow me to identify some strengths, weaknesses, and gave me lots of skills for my English 112 class and the future.

I realise the reason that I don't enjoy English as much as other subjects is because it makes me think critically in a way I am not used to. In many other subjects in order to succeed you memorize, follow a set of rules, then repeat. In language arts I have to worry about my grammar, sentence structure, flow, style, and my viewpoint in order to write a well written paragraph. Every step makes me take a look back and think there's a better way for this or that to be said. However, this is the reason why I want to be in English 30-1. I want to be a person who is well rounded and able to give my opinion through precise and deliberate word choice. And in order for me to do so I know

When I am writing narratives, I use many different characteristics to describe the characters, and when I was watching Ted Talks and doing the chart, it made me think about the speaker’s features and how I can use them to describe my characters better. Also, I use my time efficiently I don’t fool around and talk to others. I get right to my work and complete it. I accept writing criticism very well too, I use it to improve my writing. Another strength that I have in writing is I have excellent spelling, and I punctuate very well. Likewise in writing, I also have my strengths in reading. While reading a novel, I can illustrate what is going on in the book or the story in my mind which helps me understand that story more. It helps me to ‘get into’ the book. Also, another strength that I have in reading is that I can annotate and get information out of books very well. That, coupled with the fact that I am very good at figuring out hidden messages or finding the theme of the book. Notes I take from the novel help when I am flipping back through the book to support my theme or message with evidence.

One strength that I find as a writer is being able to back up my side of an argumentative or persuasive essay. I am confident in my ability to make my readers believe in my views of an issue and make these views their own; if not, I am able to sway the

I began high school as a fluent English speaker yet there were still many vocabulary that I did not understand. However, I did not give up and when I finally reached the eleventh grade; I took an AP English Language class. This class proved to be more challenging but I did not give up; in fact, I enjoyed the challenge. I knew that if I accepted the challenge, my only option was to successfully complete the course. This was when I realized that I thrive on academic challenges, as they make me grow. I passed my class and I learned that the

Firstly, when it comes to my strengths in writing, I do not believe I carry many. Of the few I possess, my word selection is a constant advantage for me. I try not to settle for undereducated vocabulary. I see this as taking the easy way out and I do not believe I learn from this. Another one of my strengths when it comes to writing is my adequate spelling. Accurate spelling is strongly in my nature. When I am reading I can sense when a word is spelled incorrectly. My final strength in writing is organization. I believe my work is clear to follow. This is important so I can get my message across to my reader. Although I am solid in these aspects of my writing, they

I do not have very many strengths in English and writing. My strengths in English and writing are organization, sentence structure, and developing a position. I am good at organizing my papers and essays because, to me, if they are not organized in a sensible way the writing sounds choppy and incoherent. Sentence structure

The subjects that I excel most in are Mathematics and English. My grades in those classes are always above average. I believe that math come very easy to me, and I grasp an understanding fairly quickly. I am naturally a hard worker, so when I’m working on a math problem I will usually continue working on it until I get the right answer. Math is also something that I enjoy doing, which can contribute to how much effort and time I put into it. I believe that I have excelled in English because I have a way with words. I may not be able to express my feelings and thoughts as well verbally, but writing makes up for it. My style of writing is very candid, and I strike people with the reality of things. I surprise myself on the subjects I write about that usually bypass my thoughts. Writing explores and exercises my thoughts which show me what I’m truly capable

I believe that one of my greatest strengths when I write is how well I can clearly comprehend a prompt, and answer it correctly and thoroughly. I take time to think about what I am going to write, and structure it well. Along with structuring my writing, my use of vocabulary

My writing strengths include grammar and mechanics and thought out introductions. In my writings, I proofread and edit and revise without fail before turning in an essay. Doing this results in the fixing of grammatical and mechanical errors.

Making improvements is the biggest criteria for being a good student because even if English does come easily to a person there is always room for improvements. I have made dramatic improvements on my writing. Each of my papers had a higher grade than the paper before. This is because I put in the effort to improve my biggest problems. In the beginning (my

I am a science major and I have always minimized English Language courses because I thought I was already very good at writing. I did not think I would ever really need to use what I would acquire from such a course. When I came to Montgomery College and I was going to take the course English 101, my expectations were that I would have no difficulty scoring good grades in the course and I would learn nothing really helpful from it. This is because in high school, I put very little effort into my English class, but I had impressive scores in writing. I began to understand that I am not as good as I thought I was at writing when I started taking english courses in college. During my previous English course, English 102, I was able to improve certain aspects of my writing which I am glad for. For instance I am confident that my essay structures are well built. But some things in writing remained a challenge for me. I am glad that I am taking an English course that would permit me to work on things I thought I was already good at like awareness in writing essays and proper use of grammar and punctuation
