Personal Narrative: My Autobiography Of A Writer

Writer's Autobiography

When I first started writing the composition at seven years old, I need to look at the picture and narrate what happened around that. At that time, I racked my brain to figure out the imagination and come out only a few words. Later, we need to write a narrative under the education standard system, I still came up against difficulties and didn't know what to write. "You should record the something different happened every day in your diary, which is a basic practice for you to begin your writing step by step.", this is the sentence I repeatedly heard from my teachers during the primary school period. After all, the life is always being ordinary and nothing special happened, it difficult for me to have more interesting topics to share with others. In order to solve this situation, I went to the bookstore to buy some composition books because of the teacher's suggestion.

Although I sometimes didn't know what the sentences really mean, my Chinese teacher often gives us homework to take notes when you see some meaningful or favorite sentences.

I memorized those useful sentences, studied the author's writing methods and carried on the imitation writing. In addition, I used various approaches such as idioms to improve the contents in order to attract people to have more interests. In this case, the imitation is always not progress, but also the innovation should have my own characteristics. Along the same lines, the growth of vocabulary also plays an increasingly important role in my daily writing. As a result, my word choices used in the writing process are developed by reading books over a period of time. As for me, the writing seemed like just a kind of task under the exam-oriented education when I was in elementary

school.
I tried to form the mature reading habits since the beginning of my junior school. When I read the novel called a tale of two cities in my high school, I begin to like the book's writer called Charles John Huffam Dickens and the style of his writing that also influences the way I express my thoughts in articles. He focused on describing the power of people's kindness and moral influence and made a strong appeal to the bourgeois, evil and inhuman social system at the same time. His novels always have vivid outwardly portraits and humorous and pungent. It's a useful way for me to let the people are showing the picture in their mind through my detailing description and have the deep understanding of my words. The humor permeates from my sentences, which can describe the characters clearly and try to make their language or behavior funny.
Back to now at MSU, I become a college student and the type of papers I write most are research papers or the applications used for my courses or internships. To change the way I write again, I will focus on the essay's format and the word citation in order to revise as a formal and professional article. Compared to the methods used in Chinese writing, I think that the largest difference between American and Chinese is logic and thinking. In American university, no matter your grammar and words are perfect or not, they will first pay attention to the expression about your thoughts and your content, and then the richness of words is the secondary to consider.
