Journal #8

In this journal, I want you to reflect on the last 8 weeks of this semester. Do you think your writing has improved? If so, how has it improved? What could you have done better? In the next 8 weeks, what would you like to accomplish? What would you do differently?


I think my writing ability has been improving. Especially this kind of quick writing, which I don't have to think about the structure or grammar, I really feel better than before.
I graduated University 4 years ago in Japan, and I had to write research paper in English. At that time, maybe I learned about thesis, topic, intro, conclusion,,,,, so on, however I didn't remember at all!!! So thanks to this composition class, I could recall how to write the essay properly. I think I have to keep writing in order not to forget again.

Also, I am so lucky because I am taking open university course, and I can use this strategy right away!! What if I didn't learn how to write essay from this class, I think I couldn't find what to do in writing at open university course.

Still I have many problems in writing, so I want to learn more about grammar, how to cite, and so on. Reading good essays would be helpful, so I want to keep reading some reading material everyday.

I can't imagine 8 weeks has passed already!! I have only 8 more weeks.. I have to save some time and do what I should do now!!!!
