i revised it and found my mistakes.. ignore my conclusion because it's not good i'm going to work on it.
I have been an English 101 student for about 3 weeks now, and over the course of my stay, I have learned a lot more than I thought possible. I learned to write, to express myself, to think for myself, and to find answers to the things that I doesn’t know. Most importantly I learned to improve my writing skills.
When I started English 101 class, I thought I was going to spend most time reading books and doing lectures but I was completely wrong. We are asked to wrote an essay just to see how do we write our essays, and I think I did pretty well. Professor Battle told us that are focus is on writing, so students who are going to English 102 will be prepared. Also, this is a summer semester, this class is really tough and intense, and I need to work hard and do everything in advance.
Also, I have learned that 50/50 class is better than the traditional 100% face to face class. This class is much easier, and the time is flexible because I have plenty of time to do my homework online at home. I’m also taking a biology class so I need to balance my time for everything.
I know my ability to write, express my ideas, thoughts and knowledge has grown every time I attend this class. I always struggled to put my thoughts on paper in a manner that is correct according to assignments. My remarks have always something do with wrong grammar, sentence run-on and punctuations. These mistakes are the things that I’m going to work on and improve in the next coming class. The paper that I wrote on the first in-class essay was not good. I did not give good examples and didn’t formulate good ideas. What I did was I applied what I learned in my previous English course, and what I had found in my research. My previous English courses have really helped to get rid of my bad writing habits and helped me to write better papers and think of better ideas.
There are a couple of things that I need to improve in order to be good at writing, and I hope I can achieve this by the end of semester. I hope to learn more ways to on how to improve and learn different styles of writing.
These lines have a wrong word and a runon sentence.
"Professor Battle told us that are focus is on writing, so students who are going to English 102 will be prepared. Also, this is a summer semester, this class is really tough and intense, and I need to work hard and do everything in advance."
The next paragraph contradicts the above paragraph.
This sentence doesn't make sense to me.
"My remarks have always something do with wrong grammar, sentence run-on and punctuations. "
This part contains another contradiction.
"The paper that I wrote on the first in-class essay was not good. I did not give good examples and didn’t formulate good ideas. What I did was I applied what I learned in my previous English course, and what I had found in my research. My previous English courses have really helped to get rid of my bad writing habits and helped me to write better papers and think of better ideas. "
