1 What I learned in Writing class
ReplyDeleteI learned 2 things in writing this semester. One is that writing English is really important and two is that it’s important to get my writing checked by someone. Today, I’ll talk about these things, which I learned, in writing class.
First, what I learned is that writing English is really important to learn English. It was really though writing blog and essay in writing class. Continuing something is sure to be though so I felt that I didn’t want to do that anymore sometimes. I’m going to go to Canada for studying abroad this summer. For that, I took a seminar for academic writing in exchange student program. There, we had to write about typing test for short time. Fortunately, I could write a lot what I thought because I’m used to write thing in English in the writing class. I was surprised and I thought that writing what think in English is really important. Even if I can’t write it in English correctly, first, writing is important.
Second is that it’s important to get my writing checked by someone. In the writing class, I always felt that I wanted to get someone check my writing because have grammar err sometimes and I didn’t know whether my writing is written correctly or not. In last class, my teacher checked out writing. I thought it is that I want to do in this class. And in the last class, I could gain a lot of knowledge about grammar skill and contents of essay. That’s why I think checking my writing is really important for me.
Writing is really though thing for me. So, sometimes I felt that I don’t need to write, and I thought that I need more other skill than writing. But When I go to studying abroad, writing is really necessary skill. I took seminar for academic writing, and I felt that. Writing is really important skill for my future. And checking thing to be written is also important. Although, I’ll talk that in next question, I learned that the best in this semester. Checked my writing, I cannot only that I notice mistakes also get many knowledge about writing skill. These two things are what I learned in the writing class.
2 What I expect in writing class
I have one thing what I expect in writing class. That is get knowledge from my error. For that, I think that it’s important to get our writing checked fro someone. Although I’ve already write about that in previous question, I’ll talk about that more in detail.
The last class, my teacher checked our essay. I think that the class was the best for me and that is what I wanted to do in writing class. I wrote essays and blog a lot in this semester too but I didn’t know if I write that correctly. It’s important that my friends see my writing and check it however; I wanted to get knowledge about writing so I wanted to get my writing checked by teachers. In the last class, I could gain knowledge about writing skill. I made a mistake a lot but I could learn grammar and how to think the contents if essay.
Surely, some students felt that they don’t want to do that. But it’s important that someone teach us our error of writing. Unless we do that, we can’t improve our writing skill. In my case, I’m going to foreign country to study abroad. So I need academic writing skill. Some people don’t do that so they may not need to check writing but for people who want to work I English and study in university from another country, checking our writings is really important. If I could the class such as the last writing class, I would gain knowledge about writing and grammar skill more. That is what I expect in writing class.
I could get some opportunities for thinking about by myself. We always think some things in Japanese. However, in Writing Ⅳ I wrote my ideas in English. It is a little difficult, but I could make the most of this chance in other English class, Listening or Speaking. And I was lucky to check my spelling or grammar. I usually used Microsoft Word, but sometimes teacher or other students taught me. I was able to improve my grammatical skills.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore I could know what other students think. Using Blog is convenient to know ideas each other. In class I could check other student’s blog and leave comments. This opportunity is good for getting other deepen ideas. And to get ideas I read some English book or movie. In my daily life I don’t read or listen English, so it was good to get chance to touch many type English.
In writing Ⅳ, I learned the importance to know my and other ideas and English skill. However, I can’t write essays without dictionary. I need more vocabulary. When I’m junior, I would like to take TOEIC test a number of times. Next spring term, I’m going to take this class again. So I aim at getting more vocabulary and idiom. I don’t know if we use blog and computer in next class, I want to value the opportunity to use English.
What you expected to learn, and What you learned in Writing IV
ReplyDeleteSometimes Writing IV class was tough for me because I had to post many essays and reviews. Once my status on the class became dormant. Firstly I was disappointed, but my teacher advised me about my status recovery. He told me to post what he ordered to. This encourages me and I’ve done what he ordered to. Finally I had my status recovered. Since I’ve endeavored to post many words as long as possible.
Now I’ve written almost 14,000 words. Students on the class have to write over 15,000 words. I’ve decently posted book reviews, movies reviews on my blog.
By the way, I try to correct my mistakes on the blog when I found them. Some people don’t do that. So they still haven’t understood their mistakes. I think writing is important, but I can’t leave the mistakes out. I want to write letters in English appropriately. So I suggest you to let students correct their own mistakes. And I think more people can write decently. It’ll shame on us without accuracy.
Because of the class, I’ve been kind of “blog addicted.” I mean I no longer don’t like writing. Beside I’ve got used to read English letters on such as newspapers, “Wikipedia” and so on. I’ve found native writings are a little difficult from non-native writings. The former one is a little harder to understand because they use vocabularies that I might not know. But it’ll be no problem if we understand what it means. This class encourages me to read English letters. In my last, I think vocabularies are important more than anything. Reading and writing is the second.
I expected to learn how to write, and I wanted to be corrected by teacher.
ReplyDeleteIf I do not have any corrections, I cannot aware of where I have mistake. Writing is not only write, but also reading and grammar. I think we should have ability not only speaking. Many people could speak with foreigner, but few people could write sentence impeccably. However, I knew what the class does, so I did not so expect.
I think I just post my blogs this semester. I do not know what kind of mistake I have. I had written many blogs, but blog is different from writing. Blog is informally writing. However, I think outline is good. Writing outline makes it easy writing. Moreover, I could get ability of typing. Now, we are wanted to have capacity of computer. Then, we learned using computer trough this class. Many people post blog in the world. However, I do not like the Mac computer, so I do not want to write something in this class. I often write by my computer.
I want to get guidance to write something, and I should have correction for my writing. I think ability of writing improve to write many times. The class should not force how many words we have to write in blog. I think it is better how many times we should post or we should post every day. So we can get into the habit of writing blog. Of course, writing blog is one of good writing class, but we should write official writing as much as blog. I think the classes are not separate, and it has only one class that is English class. Then, we can get almighty ability of English.
I took WritingⅢ and Ⅳ classes through one year. I had to write many essays, diaries, and so on. It was so busy and kind of hard works for me. However, I could learn two things, not only about writing English but also about computer. Today, I will talk about what I learned in writing class.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I learned about writing English. I had never written long essays till I took this class. I couldn’t write long sentences and express what I want to say because I didn’t feel confidence my writing skills. I wrote easy diaries at the first time, especially in spring semester. However, the more writing blog homework I did, the better skill I got. I tried to use difficult words and grammar. In the writing class, my teacher told us how to write essay, I could learn how important construction of essay. For example, we should write main point on the top of paragraph. It makes our essay clear. After the class, I did brain storms and wrote preparations before I had written essay. I could write long essays because of it.
Second, I learn about computer in this class. I am not good at using computer. However, I can use it better than before now. I learned how to copy and past, make improve sidebar, and so on. If I learned them alone, I couldn’t get the skills. I could make my blog better and better through the class. The computer made me annoyed in the past, but now, I want to learn about it more.
I got many skills about writing in this class. However, it is not enough. I have to keep trying since now. It is nonsense to just write English without thinking. I have to think how I should improve my writing skill. At first, I have to try use more difficult grammars on my essay. I don’t memorize all of grammar. I can use difficult grammar if I use it many times. I am not good at grammar, but I mustn’t avoid form it. Otherwise, I couldn’t use it forever. At the same time, I will increase my vocabulary.
In conclusion, I learned how to write English better and use computer effectively. There were many assignments, and it took many times. I can write better English by computer now because of it. I can say this class gave me many skills. However, I don’t satisfy my skills. I want to improve my writing skill more and more by using computer. I will keep writing English on my blog post.
I really expected to learn about how to write good essay during this semester. The previous semester in Writing IV, we learned how to use various commands and some good sidebar things, which are really useful with working computer, but that’s it. There were no feedbacks from the teacher, so we students really wanted to get the feedback. If we got any correction of our essays from the teacher instead of comments from classmates, our quality of essay definitely would go up. I think blogging is the way better than handwriting because it’s easy to write and edit. But I also think blogging is just a way for writing. I really expected to learn how to write good essays through the blogging.
ReplyDeleteWhat did I learn in Writing IV? Well, I learned nothing special on working PC I guess. I learned good commands, which I can use on computer, in Writing III, but there’s nothing like that in this semester. I think what I learned in this semester is how to see something from another view point through comments. Classmates wrote essays and commented their own view, which included things I didn’t notice. I can now think about something several view points and can say my opinions. Also I can use them when I have a brainstorming.
What I still need to learn to improve my own writing is that I just have to keep writing, which means keep blogging or writing a topic per week and then ask a teacher from English-speaking country to correct it. Plus, I think good essay is with good grammar and suitable vocabulary, so I have to keep studying them. Fortunately, I’m going to America this August so I have many opportunities to improve my writing skill in the US instead of keeping blogging. However, the opportunity will not be given to me without any actions. I have to try to elevate my skill even if I’m in the USA, and I’d better to continue blogging in English even if it will be like diary. They will bring me better writing skills in the future. The most important thing is to enjoy myself I think.
The writing class was one of the require subjects this year too. In this class, we were to set up our own blog. It was the first time that I had my own blog. That meant that we had to keep blogging and post on it. We are also required to write some essays and book reviews every week. That was a little tough, because all I had to do was not only writing.
ReplyDeleteI had expected that I could improve my skills in English grammar and choosing proper words. Last year, my writing teacher gave me advice about grammar and how to express and choose words. However, with this year’s method, I could seldom receive advice from the tutor, so I felt sorry about that. I think, however, this year’s writing class helped me to be independent. Besides, I could get used to using a computer. This is one of good points, I think.
I could learn the importance of planning by myself. It was because we had a norm about the number of word counts. If I had not planed, I would have trouble at the last minute in each semester. I needed to post various stories regularly. I also came to know pleasure of writing and sharing the information with others about my everyday life, vacation, school, classes, friends, exercise, family and foods. I learned how to organize an essay, and it helped me to think in a logical way. I think I am better at typing now, and it must be useful for me in the future.
Finally, I would like to refer to my plans. I still think that we need to study grammar systematically, if we want to make progress in English grammar. Of course, now that is difficult for each of us. However, I would like to be cautious about my speaking and writing from a grammatical view too. I will probably go abroad and stay in other countries again. When I talk to foreigners, I can ask them to correct my English.
I thank the tutors who thought of the plan of our blogging for our writing classes. I felt it was tough class, but I hope what I learn in this class will benefit me. Our writing class and all of required class for 4 English skills end. I will do my best to cultivate my English skills by myself. I will plan about my studies of next year from now on. Thank you very much!
I took Writing IV class in this semester. I learned expectations, learning, plans in this class. I had many essays and I had to write English with conditions.
ReplyDeleteMy expectations were to advance my writing ability, to be able to have and write my opinions, to write long and right sentences. I had to write many sentences with many themes. Then, I analyzed myself or had field of visions. I had to act my ability’s improvement with my will. If I wanted to improve my writing ability, I had to touch many sentences. If I was interested in many topics and write many sentences, I was able to wrote long, right and new sentences.
Next, I learned how to write English in Writing IV, vocabulary, spells. I was able to express English in various writing ways. It was very important for me to learn vocabulary, spells, typing ability. I learned the pleasant from learning English because I had had a memory of getting new things when I had been a child. I like getting new knowledge in myself.
Then, I had plans for improving myself writing. I had to read many people’s writing essays and short sentences. They had themselves sentences and I was able to learn how to improve my writing from them. I learned English in my actions.
I had many experiences in Writing IV. I wrote English and learned from myself essays. Writing is to write many English, but it was combined many ability. I had to learn Writing with many abilities.
1. What you expected to learn, and why;
ReplyDelete3. What you still need to learn to improve your own writing, and when.
I expected to learn how to write essays clearly or process of writing. I wanted to correct and direct writing skill more by teacher. Actually, I learned the structure and organization of the writing, and to select the right words a little bit. So I learned a basically skill roughly in Writing 4. However, I wanted to study what is the most important things in writing, what is the proper words specialty in essay. If I could, I would have written cultivated essay in writing. Also I would express the suitable words or feeling, I think.
However I think that my typing speed will be more quickly than before. It may be an improper expression, I wanted to learn how to make graph, attach data in posts when we take a class. I’m sure that my computer skill will improve more than before. From now, computers are very important tool to communicate with people or work, and exchange a lot of information, so I want to improve my computer skill more.
What I still need to learn to improve my own writing is to study the construction of formal writing. Suppose to write a graduation thesis. If I write a graduation thesis, it will be a formal paper, I think. So I will not write a long paper, and worry about the structure and process of thesis. Also I will have some problems; what are the proper words, how to connect the context with words. So I should study higher skill in writing from now.
In addition, I could learn the importance of persuasive essay. In writing, we should talk people into saying of writer, I think. If it possible, the reader will satisfied with the writer and the readers will enjoy reading and having a lot of interests, so to make people persuade is very important. From now, I need to learn to improve persuasive essays in writing. I want to enjoy writing!
Today I’ll talk about writing. For me, writing class was very fun and helped me. However sometimes it was not satisfactory to me. I want to about it, so I chose 1. Also I have to think about future, so I’ll talk about 3 too.
ReplyDeleteFirst I’ll talk about what I expected to learn. Before writing class started, I thought that I could learn about grammar and vocabulary. When I wrote blog, I didn’t have confidence about my writing. Is my grammar correct? Can I choose appropriate word? I wanted to know about that. However I think that I didn’t learned about grammar and vocabulary so much. So I don’t think that my writing skill become better.
Next is about what I still need to learn to improve my own writing, and when. I think that reading English books or newspaper is good for writing. When I learned Japanese for the first time, I read many Japanese books. Reading is the most important thing to learn writing skill, I think. So I read many English books, and I want to improve my writing skill. Also watching TV and listening music are good way! Watching foreign TV programs, I can get natural English. I can learn also listening skill, so it’s good to improve overall English skill. I can do these way anywhere and anytime, so I want to do my best always!
I thought that writing was difficult. However I came to feel fun to write. To enjoy writing may be the most important things. If I keep writing, I’m sure that I can improve writing skill more. So I want to keep trying!
1. What you learned in Writing Ⅳ
ReplyDeleteI learned how to write essays, and computer skills. I’m poor at writing sentence, because I don’t like English grammar. But I had to write a lot of blog posts and essays in this semester. I always looked up a word in a dictionary. So, Writing was very hard for me. But it benefited me, because I memorized some new words, and grammar. Then I could write blog post rapidly.
I also learned how to use computer in this semester. I like to use Internet, but I could not use other functions of computer. I thought functions of computer are very complex. But I had to use computer in Writing class. First, I couldn’t understand some words about computer. So I asked my friends about how to use computer. So I could get over Writing class.
2. What you still need to learn in order to improve your own writing
I thought it is important for me to write a lot of sentence. For example, I should write book review, movie review, free writing and essays. Because if we write many sentence, our writing skill come to good. Writing sentence in English is very hard for us, but I think it is important. And also, teachers should correct student’s sentence. We can’t find own mistake sometimes.
I learned a lot of things in writing class using with computer for one year. I had to many things. I had to write essays, book reviews, dairy, and so on and I post them 5 times in a week. It was very hard and difficult for me to write and keep them.
ReplyDeleteI have to write English in a class many times, but I had never written blogs with computer. I am not good at using with computer, so typing was so slow. It was so hard for me at first. I didn’t know how to put pictures, too. However, I could know and done them gradually.
Second, I learned to know other thoughts with computer. Computer connects in all over the world, so we can exchange e-mail and know their thoughts and opinion. If I exchange thoughts with others, I could do it anytime and anywhere. I could know writing English and other languages, too. Actually, I am interested in Korean, so I exchanged email with South Korean. I learned Korean and circumstances in South Korea. It was so exciting and good for me.
I though that writing was important but difficult. My writing skill is not enough, so my classmates commented in my blog and advised many things. To read my blog a lot of times, I have to write clearly, easily to read and write my opinion well. If I do that, I could attract others and communicate with them.
To need to learn to improve my own writing, I have to study writing and use with computer. I keep writing with it and exchange thoughts, whenever I have time. It is good for me to receive others’ advice. So I must be careful and improve. It is also important to type fast. If you do that, my writing skill will improve.
I will talk to you about “What you learned in Writing IV” and “What you still need to learn in order to improve your own writing” I didn’t like Writing Classes at first because I didn’t like to write blog in first semester. However, at last, I became a person who likes to write blog. I have reasons why I like to write blog. Therefore, I will talk them now.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I could learn about how to write blog. I didn’t know it before take writing classes. But my host family looked my blog and taught me English and told me what my blog’s bad points and good points. Therefore, I could more skill up to my English. And I could communicate with my host family on my blog. My host family always enjoyed looking my blog. It made me happy.
Second, I was writing blog and everyone was looking blog. And they commented me. And they said me advice. My friends became very nice advisers. Then, I could learn English from them. They know good thing what I didn’t know about English, so I am happy to learn from them. And I could make new friends in this semester.
Finally, I noticed that writing English is very important and very fun. My English is still not good. However, I can talk to other country’s people on Internet, Email, letter and so on if I can write English. It is very good for me and interesting. I learned about it from writing classes. I am happy why I could notice it.
I could learn about them from Writing classes. And I could notice writing English is very important. Therefore, I have to more learn to write English. I think I have to use more other words because my vocabulary is very small, so I have to remember more English words. Therefore, I decided to study English words for everyday. And I need write more English. Then I think I can get accustomed to write English, so I will write blog more and I want everyone read my blog and tell me my good and bad points. In addition, my English grammar is bad, so I have to study grammar more. I think I will take English Grammar Classes when I am 3rd grade. And most important thing is doing my best. I will never give up till master writing English.
1. What I expected to learn, and why;
ReplyDeleteI expected to learn how I study English more simple. I mean easy to understand more and more, not only just easy to understand, but also I really want to understand very well what is more I’d like to teach English somebody, I mean whoever wants. It would be great. Actually I have a lot of opportunity in my everyday life. So I think I will be able to improve about my English more than now. However there are lots of problems like an everyday experience, like I will some time misunderstand, make mistakes, it is not going to very smoothly every time, something like that. After graduated, or in few years, I am really looking forward to see my English skills how much improved near in the future.
2. What I learned in Writing IV, and how; and
I learned so many things in Writing class this year. I didn’t tell every body very well how I feel a year ago. If I had to tell you something about my feeling, experiences, problems, even though just chatting, it was very hard for me. Also my English level was not good, kind of terrible, I guess. I still remember how I felt, like so frustrated, complicated. When I had worries, I was always worried about myself, I thought if I it would not be improve anymore. However, I didn’t give up that is why I solidified my position by degrees. I am thankful of all my teacher and friend who gave me a lot of energy and advice.
3. What I still need to learn to improve your own writing, and when.
I still need to keep study going. I am going to try to study English all of skills grammar, listening, reading, speaking and writing. Especially my good point that is I have a lot of friends of foreign countries. Usually we message each other, and then hang out a lot during days, I use msn, text of mobile phone, letter to contact them. Needless to say, we need to write something how we feel more concretely. So, most important thing, I can say that instead of tool which is letter. I think when we have something to tell somebody, we have to give a concrete example. So I will keep writing, I have a blog as you know, so I will keep it going, not only that but also I will also write going my diary on my private note. And, I really love to watch movies, so I copy which my favorite word and phrase on my note all the time when I watch them. That is one of my hobbies. I do it now, and then I will do it for sure.
Also, I am going to study abroad in half year that not as an exchange student, I will go there by myself. What I am lucky, because I can have a try to my writing skills in real class over there in U.S.A.
In our life, every body says that I will do my best! I can say that as same as them, but I can say what is more very strong more than them. I still do not have too much confidence, but it becoming increase little by little. So now, I have some confidence. I don’t want to give up, never ever. I won’t to give up from now on too. I believe that a good deed never goes unrewarded. At the end, I am going to tell own, don’t forget my original intention which is my mother told me.
1. What you learned in Writing IV ,1a
ReplyDelete2.What you still to learn in order to improve your own writings.
I learned many things in this writing class. First, I learned how to use computers. There were so many skills that I didn’t know. A thing I surprised with that a skills how to decorate blogs. There are so many ways to show watcher our blogs. I like to use videos on my blog because I don’t like just reading sentences. If there is something that we can feel without reading I can have fun with it.
Second, I learned many things from writing a blog. Writing the blog is the hardest part in this class work. However this part was also helped me to improve my spelling and vocabulary. When I’m writing I make mistake many times with spelling. And my vocabulary was not good. I can’t use some difficult words. When I write something, this problem won’t be so big deal because I can use words I can write. But in reading this is big trouble. There are many words that I don’t know. Selling and vocabulary were my huge weak point. So writing blogs was really helpful studying for me. Blogs teach me spelling mistake. When I’m writing I have to find out new words unless 3 or 10 words at once. So I could improve my spelling and vocabulary with blogs.
I learned many things in writing class. However I’m still need to improve my English skills. I was wording what should I do to do that. I need to learn more vocabulary because there are a lot of words I don’t know. So I will keep writing blogs after I finish this class because that was really good way to learn skills that are needed in writings.
First, I’ll tell about what I leaned in Writing Ⅳ. That is that it’s important to select good topic that I’m interested best for good posting.
ReplyDeleteOur teacher gave us a topic as subject every time. For example, Favorite place, Mrs.Doubtfire, Community life and so on. All the topics are rough, so I had to focus more concrete topic from that. I paid an attention to choose a topic that I expect that I’ll enjoy while writing.
Thank to that, I could write along with enjoyment, and I guess the post made my blog’s visitor fun a little as read it. I enjoyed writing especially “My holy town Ohzu~My favorite place~”, because I love my hometown. When I wrote this essay, the speed was so fast. Besides, it’s good essay.
Therefore, I’ll pay an attention whether the topic is really my favorite or not after this, too.
Next, I’ll tell about what I still need to learn to improve my own writing, and when. I don’t hate writing, but it’s hard to regularly posting for me. Because of that, speed of my writing improvement is late. I need to “continuation” exactly, I think. Besides, I need to start it right now! I’ll keep writing as every day as I can.
1. What you learned in Writing Ⅳ
ReplyDeleteI had to write 15000 words on my blog during this semester. I wrote a lot of letters every week. I didn’t use my dictionary too much gradually. It is because I had English words before, I think so. Also, I can tell what I did the day with good English now, because I often wrote diary on my blog in writing class. I think it was so good for me to have writing class.
Also, I watched movie in English, because I have had writing class’s homework. Mrs. Doubtfire was so interesting. I like watching American movies, and I am interested in it. So, the class was so fun. I watched other American movie. I want to watch other movies more, because it is interesting and it is study for me to watch it with English caption.
Also, I studied with my classmates in the class. If I couldn’t understand contents of the class, my classmates taught it to me. If them couldn’t understand it, I taught them. We studied helping each other in the class.
2. What you still need to learn in order to improve your own writing
My teacher taught us easy to understand, but I sometimes couldn’t get his speech. I thought I have to acquire power of listening. It is so important to get foreigner’s English speech. If I can get it well, I can talk with them. I like talking with foreigners in English. However, I can’t talk with them well now, so I want to talk more! Therefore I need studying listening.
Also, I don’t know a lot of English words now. So I can’t write letters on my blog using difficult words. If I want to write difficult English words, I always use my dictionary. I want to write letters so good English. So I need studying English words more.
I’ m not good at using the computer. I can’t typing fast. I became typing faster than before, but it is later than other students. It is need to use the computer well in society. I may use it also graduated my university. The person who use it very well are so good! Using computer is important when also write the reports. I want to use it well. So I need studying how to the computer more.
1. What you learned in Writing IV.
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot of things in Writing IV. I read some English books, I wrote my diary in Writing IV. I have ever written in English on my blog. So It was very good experience for me. And also my life is better than ever by writing my diary. I was learned writing diary is very good thing by Writing class. My opportunity of using English increased too because I read English books. If books were easy, reading English books were my English skill progressed.
I think that good point is we learned English as we enjoyed in Writing class. Writing English on my blog is we can write about whatever we like, so we don’t mind Writing English. And also we can write whenever as long as we have personal computer because write English on my blog. If we do very enjoy thing, we can write about it at once in that day. These things are very good things for us.
Finally, I was glad to take Writing IV. I think I want to write my blog from now on.
2. What you still need to learn in order to improve your own writing.
I think that I need to increase vocabulary in order to improve my own writing. Vocabulary is very important thing. If we don’t know vocabulary, we can’t write anything.
I think continue to write English from now on is the best thing in order to improve my own blog. If you write own your blog from now on, your writing skill will be improve.
We need to improve our own writing because opportunity of we use English from now on.
It’s difficult to use information because I have to have eyes which can ascertain the truth. And also I felt it’s difficult to use computer because sometimes it doesn’t work or I didn’t know how to use the function.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s important to keep writing English in order to improve my writing skill. Actually, I don’t have much skill of grammar, however, I think I need to keep writing in using my words and my own thinking. Having my own idea or thinking is very important when I write, so I won’t use information on internet as possible as I can.
Also I’ll try to reading more English because I don’t know much style. I want to know more English writing style, and I want to practice more. I’ll keep on writing my English diary after finishing writing class. It was great experience to participate with this class.
What follows is a comment that I am relocating from the Instructions post:

1. I expected to teacher’s corrections for my sentence. I didn’t have confidence about my English sentence. Also, I don’t have enough English grammar ability. So, sometimes I wanted to like to correct my sentences. And this is my wish, I expected to watch movies in this class because, I like to watch movies very much. Also, I wanted to write movie review more in this class.
2. I learned to writing is fun in writing class. First, I have a pressure for A-class. Almost all students in this class have a good writing ability but, I don’t. I didn’t like to write in English before. But, gradually I came to like to write in English. My worry of writhing ability is gone through this class. I can write English without fear to make mistakes.
Therefore, I can have a pleasure for writing English. Also, I learned how to computer in this class. I could not use many applications of computer before but, right now I can use it. It was a really good point for me.

1. What I learned in Writing class
I learned a lot of things in Writing Ⅳ in this semester. It was not only about writing but also how important using information and keeps trying something. I went to New Zealand in last summer vacation for a month, so I have no time to keep blogging. I wanted to keep writing English, so I tried to write on my diary. I had a lot of interesting things to write in my homestay days, so it was nice idea for me.
After I went back to Japan, I typed compositions in my diary on my blog. Then my speed of typing English built up because I typed many writings. It was good opportunity to speed up typing. At the start of this writing class, I couldn’t type English quickly because I didn’t use computer so often, so it was also good time to know how to use computer functions. That is why I felt it’s important to keep trying something.
I also learned how important using information. As far as using internet, we see so much information including personal information. I use my pictures on my blog, so I have to beware of using these. It’s difficult to use information because I have to have eyes which can ascertain the truth. And also I felt it’s difficult to use computer because sometimes it doesn’t work or I didn’t know how to use the function.
2. What I still need to learn to improve my own writing
I think it’s important to keep writing English in order to improve my writing skill. Actually, I don’t have much skill of grammar, however, I think I need to keep writing in using my words and my own thinking. Having my own idea or thinking is very important when I write, so I won’t use information on internet as possible as I can.
Also I’ll try to reading more English because I don’t know much style. I want to know more English writing style, and I want to practice more. And I think I have to memorize more English vocabulary because I can’t write without words and some knowledge. I’ll keep on writing my English diary after finishing writing class. It was great experience to participate with this class.
