Essay writing has never been easy for me as I am generally
weak in grammar and has limited vocabulary to write a relatively good essay. In
addition, to be in a faculty which writing is heavily emphasis, it further
stresses and forces me to build up my English foundation.
My weaknesses in essay writing are grammar and organization.
I realized that the main difference between me and my classmates is the lack of
planning and organizing before writing an essay. As for me, I tend to write without
thinking much and I often found myself stuck in the middle of the essay. My
essays usually lack a coherence flow. Besides, grammar is another major problem
I faced with. I am always disappointed with myself upon receiving assignments in
red grammar markings. However, this motivates me to strive even harder as I know
that I already fell short of others.
I am now more conscious when I write and I have adopted what
the lecturer has taught me, which is to read my own essays a few days later and
try to edit it again. I also asked my friends to help look through my work and
learn from them at the same time. I have already set a goal to read at least
three newspaper articles each day and started to initiate conversation with my
friends in English rather than Chinese. I sincerely hope that this could help strengthen my English and allow me to
see improvement in my writing.
