“Writing” some people get headache, some people will find it very interesting. For me, I am not afraid of writing, but I am afraid of writing in English. Because English is my second language, even though I have some experience with writing in China. It still can be very hard for me. When I found out I had to take a English writing course, I was not looking forward to it. Most of the sentences I read are hard for me to understand. My composing strengths are that I have more experience writing in China, which I could not use it to write in English. I thought I was not ready for this class. However, when I had finished the English writing course I realized that I could be a writer; not only for essays, but also for other styles as well. I was so surprised. Now I enjoy writing in English. …show more content…
I had to rewrite it three times, and each of those times, I wrote three pages. In all, I wrote nine pages. During this project, I wrote and revised my essay many times. Sometimes I would write until midnight. I would think that my essay would finally be good, and I would submit it to my teacher. But I still didn't pass. I was very frustrated with it. By the fourth time, I tried again and passed. The result was not as great as I expected. However, I feel that I really learned a lot from this experience. While I did not do as well as I had hoped, I still think that it was a good experience. It showed me a lot about persistence, confidence, and belief, and I will remember it
Understanding the assignment requirements carefully was the first step I made in preparation for writing the essay. Once I understood the assignment, my next step was to establish a thesis, followed by finding pertinent data to support my arguments. After analyzing the data collected, I generated an outline for the essay using the evidences I gathered. The outline would help me ensure that all the questions and requirements the assignment was asking for were answered, and that my answers can have a consistent flow of syntax and diction. After I had prepared my ideas and written an outline, I proceeded in writing my first essay draft, followed by editing, and then making sure that I followed the American Psychological Association (APA) format. The time spent on producing the content of the essay estimated to be approximately eight hours, while the time spent for editing was roughly an hour an a
Writing is difficult for many reasons. I have dyslexia, which make writing more difficult. Although dyslexia makes school more difficult I have never let it stop me and I am not going to start now. Also, I have never been good at coming up with words that sound good together and I don’t like to write. I am also not confident with my writing I never think it’s good. Getting started...
The relationship that I have with writing is hard for me to explain, it’s bitter-sweet for me. I was introduced to writing as child, and I must admit writing was very easy for me to grasp. I recall learning how to write an essay and being successful in doing so. The flipside to me writing is that I don’t like to read, well we all know that reading and writing goes hand and hand together. Approaching my adult life I began to gain a different type of respect for writing, I realized how much I needed to be able to write and the importance of writing.
English is a hard language to learn, for there are numerous elements of effective usage and writing. Many people, including me, struggle in writing because of a lack of knowledge. Since middle school, English was not a strong suit of mine. I struggled with the simplest of tasks often taking a considerably longer time to complete a task than the other students. Unmotivated teachers and a lack of interest resulted in remedial writing skills. To put it simply, I had little confidence in my writing and I dreaded taking the class because of the writing involved. In spite of my fears, I took the course and I was able to perfect and challenge my mediocre writing skills.
I was so nervous. I failed it the first time so would I fail it again? This time I had to learn how to better Prepare myself. You would not nt to study in the same way you did before.
This quarter has been amazing for me as a writer. Not only did I heavily enjoy the class, but I feel like I have grown both as a writer and as a person. I have had many difficulties writing in all of my scholastic life and I would like to thank you for being the teacher to help me get through them. On the first day of class we did a small self-reflection where we wrote a little bit about what we saw in ourselves. My greatest strength was talking to people, but I never had the confidence in myself until I met my girlfriend.
As mentioned countless times above, during my time in this class, I would love to obtain the writing skill of writing papers that are more condensed and attentive to the matter I am addressing at that point in time. Professionals and even non-professionals will not want to waste their time reading something that could have been addressed in a fewer sentences and words. If I want to stand out in a crowd of equally educated occupational therapists, I need to make sure my writing is formatted and addressed in a professional manner. As a result, I am looking forward to learning how to make myself look as professional as I can in writing. Nevertheless, with learning to write proper papers and documents comes the challenge of making sure enough time is included within my study of this particular course.
Today, in the twenty-first century, it is not uncommon for a child to start writing essays, reports, or even journals for school work starting immediately after they are able to write full sentences. For me, this was not the case. As soon as I started to write letters I was trying everyday to form words, to complete fragments, and then eventually, full sentences. As a child for me, the idea of school was amazing. What could be better than going to a building to play with a bunch of kids your age and learning all kinds of new information, it was all so delightful. Ever since I was born, music has been one of the biggest influences on my life, in all aspects. This includes, but is not limited to the lyrics, the instruments, and the ability it
Growing up, I detested writing. I found it to be tedious and boring. But reading, I loved. I would read a book a day, a series in a week. My best friend and I had our own “book club”.
I write stories about my life: characters I come across, situations I encounter, lessons I learn. Writing brings my life into focus. Once it’s on the page, I begin to understand the throughlines of my experience. Every artist has a way of describing how the muse comes to them. For me, words live in an invisible river.
Writing has always been a means of expression but also a skill to bring to the professional world. I have found my own writing skills improve naturally as I matured as an individual, however the leaps I made came from active experiences that directly tested my ability to write. This was mainly from academic sources where I had to mold my mind differently depending on the writing. I found this difficult as I was more focused on forming empirical analysis and I was unable to stay on topic. Although I had my difficulties, I am also thankful for exposing my weaknesses. By experience, I have improved in writing a lot from continuously reading and writing different forms of essays, all while improving my writing organization.
Writing has always played a salient role in my life. I use writing as a way to express myself and share my thoughts and ideas. My first major writing assignment made me realize the crucialness writing. I was in my sixth grade Language Arts class when my teacher assigned us a huge poetry project. We had to write a book featuring different types of poems (i.e. haikus, limerick), while also incorporating figurative language.
Dear Professor Heller, At the start of the semester, I had made a personal goal for myself which was to improve my English verbal and writing skills. I feel after working on different essays, writing pieces and finally the research paper, I have learned a lot and have become a much better writer. Over the last few weeks, I have also felt that I have accomplished my goal of becoming better at my English verbal skills as I made it a point to practice a lot as English is not my first language and I have always struggled with proper pronunciation and grammar.
During this semester, I realized that I have breezed through many parts of the writing process in the past. I believe that since this class began, I have found my voice in writing and allowed it to speak clearly on the subjects we were instructed to discuss. My grammar and punctuation rules were rusty at best, and this class has allowed me, not only to polish them, but to add a few more to the list that I did not know of earlier. I love to use big words and give my readers very detailed descriptions, in hopes that they will be able to picture what I am saying. I am also very attentive to my words and try to use a variety of adjectives so they do not sound repetitive.
There are three suggestions given by Mulk Raj Anand at the end of the novel to get rid of this evil of untouchability i.e. Christ, Gandhi and last but not the least flush system. In the novel we could find the glimpse of these suggestions when after the humiliations Bakha found peace in the teachings of Col. Hutchinson, who was a Christian and made Bakha familiar with the Jesus Christ and showered his love on him. Also when he went to ‘Gole Maidan’ he got to hear the speech by Gandhi who considered that to eradicate the menace of untouchability there is a need for social reforms. Another solution proposed by a poet Iqbal Nath of introducing the idea of modern flush system in toilets. Mulk Raj Anand’s” Untouchable” is a Dalit novel written by
