Studying And Learning English For More Than 11 Years

During this semester, the realization of my past was that I have often skimmed through parts of the writing process to get the job done. Not being an avid reader often hindered my writing abilities. This class most definitely made me realize that the entire writing process is important and having peer reviews also helped significantly and certainly made a difference in the result of my work. Taking the time to read, brainstorm my thoughts, write an outline, rough draft after rough draft, reading constructive criticism of others helped in the revisions of my papers’ reaching the best possible outcome. When selecting English 102, I knew I would be challenged, but to what extent I was unsure. If like past English courses that were taken learning to write essays would be the goal. Once realizing that my work would be shared with others, providing informed information

Proficient writing is an essential skill in all aspects of academic and professional achievement. English 101, Introduction to Composition and Rhetoric, provided the framework to good writing, teaching me composition and rhetoric fundamentals, polishing up my grammar and style, and expressing a clear message. English 102, Composition, Rhetoric, and Research, continued to build on the skills I learned in English 101, focusing on the subject matter research process and employing various rhetorical and literary devices to better express a clear message to the reader. The course also improved my critical thinking capacity, allowing me to culturally evaluate my target audience, present logically flowing arguments using appropriate language and structure, and critically reviewing my writing projects for content and expression. Every writer inherently knows there’s always room to improve and I hold fast to this mindset in all academic, professional, and personal writing projects. English 102 has both challenged and inspired me to grow into a much better writer than before I began the class, providing the necessary skills to be not just a good writer, but a great writer.

As I have enrolled in the English 908 class for almost 3 months, I learn numerous methods which can help me to write better for essays in the future. From the beginning of the class, I really hated writing essays due to I did not know how to start writing the introduction. Moreover, I did not know how to make all the sentences connect to others which make the essays unappealing to the readers. Another problem that prevents me from writing is finding the interesting ideas to put in the essays. Especially, when my professor required me to write on the topics which I was not interested in, I just did not know how to begin writing on those topics and how to organize them. Moreover, I made quite often of the grammar errors such as comma splices, subject-verb agreements, as well as

While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.

My English 908 class almost comes to a close, and now it’s time for me to think “what I have learned in this class?” Reflecting on the past two months, I notice that this class has offered me the ability to aware of my personal strengths as well as weaknesses and also provided me methods to strengthen them. In addition, because of the huge amount of journal entries that we need to write week after week, both of my attitude toward writing and my point of view of studying and daily life aspects have matured. Now, I enjoy writing compositions and expect a higher quality of my work. Moreover, the quizzes helped me understand how to use comma, articles, and transitions properly so that I can transform my mediocre work into a well-composed essay. Therefore, knowing how to become a more effective writer is the most important benefits of attending this class.

I started the Writing I class with high expectative for improve my English and, of course, my writing, since last English class, the basic class, we, students, do not write a lot. The first classes were easier than the last ones, with simple sentences and text, which I read with attention. The unit about planning was the most helpful; although I already knew the steps of planning, I didn’t used with frequency. Usually, the words just flow from my mind to the paper, but the planning helps when I have to write a paragraph or text whose theme is difficult for me. The peer editing was helpful too, but the most difficult to do, because force me to study and look for grammar

As the semester started, I had set my mind that I was destined to achieve a lot. During the start of the semester, I had several difficulties writing English assignments especially in terms of grammar. During the first week of the semester, I sat down, organized my thoughts and comprehended that throughout the semester, I had to achieve all that I had planned for. As a student of English, I had planned that throughout the semester, I had to improve my skills as a scholar, writer and critical thinker. Now that the semester has ended, I can reflect all the semester activities to depict how my writing skills and critical thinking skills have drastically improved. This paper presents a reflection paper of how this

This is something that I have discovered and learned more about whilst taking Comp. I. Too often, I would have an influx of thoughts and ideas on what to write about and would begin typing every thought at once rather than organizing these thoughts using graphs or outlines. In doing this, I found it difficult to put every idea where it needed to go in order for the paper to have clarity. From the knowledge I obtained, and mainly because it was required, I started to begin every essay with a formal outline. By starting the paper with organized ideas, made for a much clearer way of writing that

As a writer there are many elements of writing that I struggle with, especially when composing an essay. When writing an essay, there are usually many skills that need to be used in order to be successful with the writing assignment. Many times in writing I struggle with explaining and fully developing the supporting details and ideas in my essay. I would also like to improve on incorporating clear topic sentences and concluding sentences, connecting my paragraphs ideas back to my thesis. Lastly, improvement can be made in my writing by avoiding awkward or wordy sentences. Writers face numerous challenges in their writing but strive to overcome or improve these challenges with each piece they write.

To begin with, English 1101 has been a very trying but beneficial course in regards to my writing development. Throughout the course, I struggled with keeping my personal feelings and opinions out of my work. Although, my idea development and competitive nature to have the best paper in the class proved to be my strengths, writing was a lot harder than anticipated. From Essay One to Essay Three, the quality and execution of my writings have tremendously improved. Along with writing workshops and journal entries every class, I can honestly say I have become a very strong writer compared to day one of classes.

Back in my freshmen year of high school, I cringed at the thought of writing essays. I could not convey my thoughts through my writing efficiently. After sophomore year, I became a bit more confident about my writing. It was not until junior year, however, that my writing drastically improved. IB English 11 enhanced quite a few of my weaknesses and molded me into an analytical thinker. Nevertheless, the process of becoming a capable writer was rigorous.

Staying on the right path in one’s classes is fundamental as this is one of the most important times in education. Rewarding oneself is one out of the many ways that students can accomplish this difficult, but crucial task. Assignments are to be completed in a timely and organized manner. It is essential that students take the time to grow as writers and change the necessary details to improve their writing skills and adapt to the changing atmosphere from high school to college. During ENC 1101, I am sure that students will undergo various ways of analyzing their writing process just as I did. I learned plenty about my writing during this journey and now I am making changes to improve my process and to become the best writer to my fullest

I have been studying and learning English for a long time. Obviously, it is true to say that I have a strong passion for learning English. Therefore, I am willing to do and try anything as it helps me to improve my English skills. Fortunately, I took this English 908 class and met Professor Lang who always sympathizes with his students and devotes his time and knowledge to help them produce the highest quality work. This class offered me the ability to be aware of my personal strengths as well as weaknesses as a writer and also provided me methods to strengthen them. When English 908 class almost comes to the end, I proud to say that my writing skill has improved significantly, especially in citing documentaries, free-writing and more important I am able to find out and correct all of the errors in my papers.

Most people would agree that “practice makes perfect”. That goes for anything one does, including in an English class. Throughout the semester I have grown as a writer. There are still things that I could of course work on, and get better at. But, as of recently I have become a better writer than what I started out as. Concepts that I have learned I can continue to build off of to become a better writer. Which is something I hope to do. Going into English 1010 I knew there were things that I could be better at. Therefore, I came into class with an open mind. This class has taught me how to use certain skills to write a well written essay. By using the learning objectives exemplified in the class I was able to write multiple well written

I believe that I can improve my writing skills when I finish this semester. I also hope I can use those writing experiences in my future writing. English writing is different from Chinese writing in many ways, so it is a big challenge for me. English is not my first language; therefore, I always have many grammar mistakes and vocabulary problems. It is true that without reading many books and getting to know different styles and writing skill, we never can be a better writer. I can improve my writing and by reading more books to overcome those problems and improve my essay. However, there are still some problems; I always cannot write a clear thesis statements. Works cited and in class writing also are also serious problems for me, because I correct it many times. The research paper it spend me a lot of time.
