I read many books in this semester I think however my friends did more. I didn’t like reading at all. I hate reading. Reading is really hard for me because I couldn’t read fast and understand. That makes me really irritate. But I had to read and write book reviews in my blog. I began reading and writing after my teacher said that I’ll fail to get a credit without bloggin in this semester.
ReplyDeleteAt first I chose the easiest book in the library. Then I thought that it was too easy to write the book review, I had to choose harder books. I tried to read books so fast. I thought reading is important for me because I want to take TOEFL and get high score. In reading section, there are many stories about things that I don’t know. I thought reading books is important. I can know many things and read faster to read books.
And now it’s definitely that I can read faster than before. I’m proud of it and in next semester, I want to read more books and also write more.
Whether I archived a personal satisfaction? I can say neither yes nor no. I mean that I could archive a personal satisfaction in one part but in another part, I didn’t.
ReplyDeleteThing that I could archive is that I could think about me in detail writing on this blog and know about my friends too. Besides, in my blog, I wrote about what I think in my daily life and my experience and interest. Because of that, I could know about me more in detail and when I took a test of studying abroad, in the interview test, I could say about me ,and what I wanted to say because I wrote that on this blog. Writing what I think in English, I could say what I think in English. Besides, I could know about my friends more in detail. When I read their blog, I could know what they think. And then I could know each other exchanging comments.
Thing that I couldn’t archive is that I couldn’t get feed back. In this semester, I learned the importance of writing in English but I just was writing and I couldn't know whether my writing is correct or not. Always when I wrote blog, I was thinking that everyone might not understand what I wrote. I wanted to have my English writing corrected in this semester so this is a thing that I couldn’t archive.
Through this writing online, I could learn many things and get to use computer as I like. And I could know about me and my friends more in detail. These are my archive in this semester but I have a thing that I couldn’t archive. It is a correction by someone. I could know about the importance of writing in English but I couldn’t get a feed back like a correction. I want to learn where of my writing in English is not good and wrong . I want to do that in next semester.
I didn’t like using g-mail because I don’t have computer in my house and can’t check g-mail. Really important information should not be send by computer. If all of us need computers, we should make bought PC when we were freshmen. Making own blog is a lot of fun. I can change my comment with my friend in the blog, and I could learn about many ways about PC. However it was hard for me get up early because this class is 1st period in on Wednesday. I was so sleepy, but this class is very enjoyable. I love teacher because he is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI think that I have not achieved my satisfaction. My skill of writing and using the computer became better. However I think that I can improve my skills than now. To achieve my satisfaction, I should write my blog hard. I should use medias and hyperlinks more. Also I read many book to learn many expression in English. I hope that my skill will be better in next semester.
ReplyDeleteWe start blog this semester. I didn’t like it because it is difficult. I didn’t do contribution to blog. One day, I got comment. I didn’t know who sent me comment, but I became happy. Then, I was looking forward to comment from him.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got comment I am very, very happy. And I also sent comment to his blog. I often became to contribution to blog Getting comment is gave me power. So I want to sent to comment to many person’s blogs and give they power.
I tried to write English more friendly and funny because many students I don’t know or my friends see my blog. Posting many pictures and media like You tube helps us to understand the content more easily, so I tried that.
ReplyDeleteI always concerned getting out the personal information because I put many photos, so I protected the privacy. For example, I didn’t put my photo with faces I put only the objects or scenery or books.
I could make colorful and cheerful blog!!
Writing online suited my personal learning and writing style. And through online writing this semester, my writing styles have changed. The beginning of this semester, I often used like “What’s up?”, “How’s it going?”, and something like that. But I just noticed that it’s useless because it just for word counts. I think it’s really nice phrase in talking, but it doesn’t need on blog.
ReplyDeleteI think this learning style has a problem. We have no opportunity to have our English mistakes corrected. Teachers check our posts, but they don’t correct mistakes. They don’t even tell just one mistake to us. I know they are really busy and have many things to do. However, just posting on our blog regularly doesn’t bring us good skill to write I think. We need teachers’ correction like what is wrong in our writing.
However, I have achieved personal satisfaction through online writing this semester because I could share my hobbies, feelings, and so on through my post. I could write whatever I want and I could introduce what I like. And friends’ blog is really nice. Their posts contain nice things, so I learned lot’s of things from them.
“Writing is an art” is suits my personal learning and writing styles. Because I wrote a lot of blog posts and decorated it. Also I like visiting my writing classmates’ blogs, because their blogs are very interesting and cute! So I thought I wanted to decorate my blog too. I could learn a lot of things for classmates’ blogs.
ReplyDeleteI will also write many blog posts next semester. It may be so hard for me, but I want to enjoy writing blog posts!!
I do not think my English skill is improved. I am not satisfied with this semester. However, I did some thing what I have to do. I think the class does not suit me. I like this class but it is not useful. I want to change the style. I want to realize my skill will improve. I expected the next semester. I will study more hard than that of this semester.
ReplyDeletePersonal satisfaction
ReplyDeleteI also think that writing is an art, and writing online, a new kind of literacy. It was special for me. However I had merit and demerit for writing in this semester.
Until I was freshman, my writing teacher corrects my writing every time. So I could know how to write. It was very useful for me and I could discover new things. However I could not know whether my writing structure and how to express by using words are good or not. If I knew that, it will be good more than before, I think.
On other hand, posting blog, I could communicate with my friends, how to express my mind briefly in casual English. So I thought that I could get practical English skill. I am satisfied with them. I will renew my blog from now.
I had wanted to learn natural English. I kept writing on my blog every day this semester, and tried to use various words and natural expressions in order to enrich my vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteI think online writing suited my style. I could achieve personal satisfaction. This was my first time that I had my own blog, and I enjoyed arranging as I liked. I also achieved satisfaction in that I can share what I think interesting.
Besides, I feel happy when I get comments from my classmates. It means that others visit my blog, and it is possible thanks to online. These points make me satisfied.
I like writing because it is good training foe me. I started to write English on online. It helps me a lot. I will explain about it.
ReplyDeleteFirst, when I write on my blog, I try to use many vocabularies because I know I don’t have enough vocabulary skill. I mean I want to improve it. Therefore I write sentences using dictionary and look up the words and how to use. Besides, when I write sentences on the Word, I can use spell check. That mean if I made mistake, I can improve it immediately. And then, I use the new words again and again. Even if I use many words, I must be forget them if I don’t use. I use same words many times and memorized them. Finally, I often memorize simple sentences because it is so useful. I can use it not only writing but also speaking. I mean I can improve my grammar.
I can improve my vocabulary and grammar skill in this way. I believe when I keep trying this training, I can be a good English writer.
I want to correspond with a lot of person of all over the world using English, because I have a lot of foreigner friends. I like talking English with foreigners. However, I don’t know how to it. I should get knowledge, and I want to do it. Now I want to chance to concern foreigner. Then I think I become use English well more than now. I like using the computer, so I want to use it perfectly early!
ReplyDeleteI had not written comments by using computer and blog. At first, I could only write sentences. However, I use pictures and colors, it became more colorful. I could write comments more than before and it was very interesting. Also, I had not exchanged my thoughts with other people, so I had known many thoughts and differences. I think my writing skill made progress by compared with first class. I like to watch other blog. I want to write comments other blog and make more blog better next semester.
ReplyDeleteIt was not bad for my personal learning and writing styles to do writing online. Because my spelling is not good and my words are hard to read. So it was pretty helpful to write with online. They teach me my spelling miss. I learned many techniques with Mac. So I think that was good for me. However if I can say one thing, I wanted teachers to edit my Blog and teach me better expression in English. For example I actually wrote a lot of Blog but I can’t feel personal satisfaction. I think that’s because I just write and write without someone’s editing. So I can not have a confidence with my writing skills. I can’t know that what I writing are right or wrong.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I’ve not achieved personal satisfaction through online writing this semester because I couldn’t have a time to do this. If I had a time, I could do write what I like to on my blog. So I couldn’t convince. Then I decide to do this in long-term vacation. I want to make a time to do this.
ReplyDeleteI think that I am still bat at English grammar/write in English. However I proud of my self about my one part of the jobs in Wiring class this semester. I wrote down diaries a lot. It might easy for everyone, but I didn’t think so at least to me. I didn’t even know how to write diaries. So I am satisfied only that. In fact, I don’t satisfaction right now. I think that the most important thing is keep studying, try to harder more and more. Then, I am sure that a good deed never goes unrewarded. Continue is best! I want to be a perfectly, I mean that is fulfillment as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteItem three:
ReplyDeleteOnline writing this semester made my personal learning more efficient. We can easily correct the sentences without an eraser, so our speed of writing come to fast, and writing time can be shorten.
I have not archived personal satisfaction through online writing this semester. Because I haven’t completed my blog, and I wanted to more post, comment, and typing training.
I wrote many English sentences through Writing class in this semester. I must learn a lot of words for making English sentences. Then I must make sentences about what I want to say. It’s difficult to make English sentences. I often didn’t know to say in English from Japanese. I must paraphrase and make sentences. I can learn many words and sentences by writing various sentences. I think writing is an art. Making English sentences is fun because it’s hard for me. I want to make long sentences and perfect sentences.
