Blink of an eye a semester has passed. We all were busy in studying and working. I have learned much from that. During the semester,we were asked to read Aesop’s Fables and have a taste of the stories. There were a great many new words and sentence patterns,writing techniques and English learning techniques,ad so on. All of them are worth learning,and some of them are as follows.
When I read the stories,I always met some new words,including some Old English words such as thy and thou,etc, which made it difficult of me to understand the stories. Thy is an old-fashioned,poetic,or religious word for “your” when you are talking to one person,and it also used in some poems and religious situations. For example,honor thy father and thy mother.
Besides,there also were some sentence patterns attracted me a lot such as periodic. For instance,“it is just what I deserve; for I,who am only a butcher,should not have turned piper to please you。”which was shown in The Kid and the Wolf. It made the story more colorful. “Woe is me!”which appeared in many stories,also made a deep impression on me. How interesting a sentence! It means that such a regret to me. We may say the moment we realize that we made a mistake which we would come over if we had done it with deep consideration.
What’s more,I have also got some excellent writing techniques and English learning techniques. When we write an article,we can write as more long

Firstly,we wasted too much time on talking about the software. If we had made the best use of the time,we would learn much more. Secondly,we had a little to make conversation with the teacher,due to with we had so many problems that could not be solved. Thirdly,we had a few exercise on the class. As far as I’m concerned,it can improve the efficiency to do some exercise on the class;because the teacher can melt away our confusion in no time,which can impress much more. I hope that we an solve these problems in the coming
I hope to someday be a writer and inspire others with my writing. The only way I believe I can do that is if I learn useful writing techniques. Not only do I want to gain more literary skills, but I also want to learn and have experiences in the core classes. In the core classes, I hope to
“It always seems impossible until it's done.” Much like Odysseus’s pilgrimage home to Ithaca, my journey through middle school was filled with many twists and turns. As terrifying as it was to row past Scylla’s cave, taking those first steps into the sixth grade hall was a very similar experience. Throughout my middle school odyssey, I learned many lessons such as how to have self-confidence and bravery in tough situations, to be ambitious, and to always persevere. When Homer wrote The Odyssey, he clearly illustrated that Odysseus never stopped believing in himself by rowing past Charybdis, and approaching Aeolus, the god of the winds.
Workplace Literacy To begin, I would like to explain my background involving the English language because my background is probably very different from others. My background in learning English is not typical, meaning I did not have in-depth studies in the English language. I was born and raised in Cairo Egypt. Throughout my school years, my involvement with the English language was limited. I mostly studied compositions, dictation, poetry and novels.
In my writing at first I with many part of sentence structure and grammar. Trying to not mess up in structure I was unable convey my ideas. Over the course of the semester it has became easier by every essay. My improvement was some not severely, but learning the basic again will help me for all class and other English courses. Writing again was something I slowly was becoming accustomed again as before.
I have personally improved in writing papers because coming from a background where English was not as important, I had to struggle to learn American English language. In India, I was taught English as my second language and the English I learned in India was British English. British English and American English are two different things because the pronunciation, grammar, and spellings vary. Learning something that you already know and learning something similar in way to something you already know is struggle. I personally wrote so many “Child drafts” like the Anne Lamott mentioned, but I needed a lot of help in shaping my papers
Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer. However, I have learned some writing skills based on the course’s teaching learning objectives that can help me in my future courses. Also, I’m glad, because my strength in writing essays have increased. Most especially, writing narrative essay in MLA formatting. I might not be an excellent writer, but I know I have not stopped learning, and I know I will get pay-off in the long run if I can keep the ongoing pace of my learning—guaranteed.
Every student has their own writing process. Writing process ways is the student's way to have the best writing assignments and make who ever read it understand their main idea. In this essay I am going to explain my own writing process for various type. In chapter 4 by Keith Hjortshoj “How Good Writing Gets Written” which talks about how should develops their writing skills and gives them some tips that they should use in their writing process.
All these issues are being addressed by the community but even if most of the problems are solve,
The comments from my instructor, the online material, my research, the online writing center and comments from other students in the discussion boards have helped me so much to improve my writing skills. In the writing process, the step that I feel I have improved a lot is editing, as I am constantly reading my writings and editing them as I finish them, over and over again before I publish them. The steps in the writing process that I like the most are finding a topic in the Pre-writing step and Drafting. I like having a lot of ideas floating around and think about which idea is the best and the most exciting topic to talk about.
Thank you for giving me this chance to talk about my English class, it was very excited to be a part of English 101 this quarter. We act as a family in this class by helping each other in writing, discussions stories and responding to each other. To be honest, I worked very hard this quarter and I focused more on my English class rather than other classes I had taken in SFCC. Writing is something not easy when it comes to my mind, because I am an international student and it is a differencet from my writing style and English writing style, so I should separate between them. I would not say writing English assignment is very hard for me, but I mean I make some mistakes.
Learning new skills in writing has assisted in so many over ways than just writing for school, it has helped in my career. Writing is such a beneficial trait to hold. I plan to improve day by day. I have so many opportunities available and plan to use to my full
Each essay I wrote took me several time to write, several drafts which show that I have improve every time I do the drafts to write a perfect masterpiece. I learned a lot of skills and techniques this quarter, which has helped me to improve and progress my writing skills for the future. I will remember the skills, techniques, and tips that professor gave us in this English class for my higher education. For example, all the time that I went to visit professor Sapozhnikov office hours to receive help on my out-of -class essays has helped me to improve, grow, and progress in my writing skills as a writer. Some of the significant changes I have made as I was progressing and growing were to develop a strong thesis to help support my claims as I write my essays, such as facts, observations, illustration, and examples.
Towards becoming a writer -------------------------------- I promised myself that I will learn a new skill this year. I resolve to learn how to write with purpose.
