Project I.a

My experience in WRITING 1 Class

Actually, writing is one of my hobbies. I would love to write everything, such as writing in my diary even writing a short story or making a poetry. On the other hand, I found it was difficult to write a scientific literature. It is caused by some factors that I could find how to solve them when I studied in WRITING 1 Class.

The first factor that I faced in writing a scientific literature was my knowledge about the topic that I wanted to write. In WRITING 1 Class, I learned that I have to read more sources to help me in writing. For instance, when I wanted to write about koala, I have to read many sources about koala. The more i knew about the topic, the easier I wrote about the topic.

Another difficulty in writing was my ability in understanding about using grammar. When I was in senior high school, my English was not good enough. Until I continued my study in English Department, I began to learn it from it’s basic. In WRITING 1 Class, I had to write a paragraph, then read it aloud in front of the class as the assignment. After I read my paragraph, my lecturer and friends would correct it. They would find many grammatical errors in my writing. It could be solved by practicing more, that was I learned in WRITING 1 Class. By practicing more, I would be better in writing with using necessary grammatical use.

WRITING 1 Class, taught me how to develop a paragraph and the elements of paragraph. I used to practice to write any genres of paragraph and correct it together in the class. Reading more sources would make me became knowledgeable and help me in writing. In addition, practicing more would increase my writing skill.

My expectations in WRITING 2 Class

I have taken this class for three times. The first time I took this class, I got C. Then I took it again to got higher score. But, I failed and got an E for WRITING 2 Class, because I never came to the class. Now I take this class again with some expectations which are, I can learn how to write again and I want to get higher score than before.

It has been lung time that I never practiced to write. I feel it decreases my ability in writing. By taking this class I hope I can remain my writing knowledge. Because, in WRITING 2 Class I learn how to develop an essay, the elements of essay and some genres of essay. So that, it can increase my writing skill.

The second expectation in taking this class is getting higher score than before. As a university student, I really want to get best mark for every class that I take. Therefore I will graduate with great GPA and it will help me when I am looking for job then. After increasing my writing skill, practicing more, so that I will be better in writing and I hope I can get best mark in this class.

In conclusion, i have taken this class twice. Within what I have experienced before, I hope I can learn how to write again an gain my writing skill in WRITING 2 Class. Therefore, I can pass this class with higher score.
