I could read just fine, but when it came to reading comprehension problems I would completely blank out. I never really understood how to comprehend stories or articles until this class. When I first saw the syllabus, I was afraid because this whole class was to mainly read some sort of literature, understand the story fully, then write about it in depth
In the class ESL273, I have learned how to write analytical essays with critical thinking, how to create an effective introduction with background information and a clear thesis statement, and how to organize an essay with the writing process skills, such as outlining and brainstorming.

When I was in my native country, I didn’t do very well English, but after coming to U.S and attending Eng 121 class, I became better at speaking, thinking and writing in English fluently.
