Journal #11




We are almost halfway into the semester. By now, all of you have had the chance to talk with me individually about your performance in the class. Now, I want you to evaluate your own progress. Think about how much you're writing has improved since the beginning of this semester. How can you improve your learning habits for the latter half of the semester. Name some areas in your writing and language ability you want to focus in and write some strategies to improve this area. The more specific you are, the better it is for you.





My Evaluation



I am almost halfway into this semester. I took composition class that it was useful for me to improve my English. For example, I know how I can write different kind of paragraph. However, I still have some difficulty in writing. First of all, my writing habit is not good. For example, I have thinking in mind by my language, and then I transfer these words into writing English. That is a problem for me. Actually, the rule in my language is so different the rule in English, so I can’t transfer like that. Another thing, my vocabulary is poor. Therefore, I want to talk about something but I don’t know how I can describe my ideas. Then, I don’t know that word in English to describe my ideas. Actually, I have to study more and more new vocabulary by many different ways such as read news paper, listen to music, watch television and communicate with native people. Furthermore, I also get mistake on grammar part such as use relative pronoun, build structure. Actually, my teacher helps me to improve that. She shows my mistake that I got in my paragraph. And then, she suggests some advice to me to do correct. Finally, these are some mistake that I usually get them in my writing. So I have to study more and more to get better in my writing skill. I will follow teacher’s suggestion to start my thinking that is from English ideas to English writing.
