This writing class (actually the name of the class is reading) helped my writing in variety ways.
First of all, I gained many skills about writing. By reading many articles and my classmate's blog, I became more used to English and grammar. Reading other's draft and make correction and some comments really helped me a lot. I can see my errors and by correcting others blog, I can review the grammar also.
One of the best thing I learned from this class is about punctuation. I have never used semi-colon or dashes before. Of course , I did not know the meaning of these expressions also. However, suprisingly, I understand the sentence with those punctuation and sometimes I use them in my writing! It made my writing looking good and I feel proud of myself whenever I use them.
For last, by practice writing in this class, My wrting speed got faster. It usally took me a day to finish one blog writing at the begining. I had to write outline in Korean and than translate that in to English all the time. However, after I talked with Mr.Still and while having talk, I made my mind to think in English and write it directly. It was much harder at first. I miss the due date of the homework sometines also. But now it changed. I can write much more faster now! (I am writing directly in English this one.)
At the starting of the semester, I really did not like writing. My grammar was terrible and I did not know most of the big words. I had to search barely hundred of words just for reading one article and that also happened when I do my writing. But through this class, I gained my confidence about writing. I still have to search words for whole day but, I know I can do it now. MR.Still and my classmates offered me chance to talk and listen English. Especially whenever I have question - whether it is big or small - Mr.Still taught me kindly with some jokes. Also a lot of writing - yes the blog homework - made me get used to typing English. With all these situations, I think I like writing much more than January now. Thank you to everyone in the class.
