Some people might think it is boring and tiring to learn English over and over again since primary school. But not for me, I feel English is a pleasurable subject that I have taken this semester. The objective of the course was to make us better writers, and I certainly have improved. I learned what makes a paper good or bad, what makes it easier to write a good paper, and how the manner that the class is held makes a difference. Now I have to take my writing more seriously, and try much harder at producing good output. I know English is very important in today’s world, without it, I might lose a job in the future, doesn’t have adequate self-confidence, and difficult to communicate with others who spoke in another languages. With English proficiency, I can communicate without barriers. Because of these reasons, I am taking this matter seriously especially in my writing to become better in composing outstanding essays. Writing for a grade often causes the writer to do just enough to get by. I also learned that it is much easier to produce a good piece of writing if I am kept interested. By choosing our own topics, rather than have the teacher give us topics to write on, we often are much more interested in the subject. If we are interested in what we are writing about, we tend to have a better opinion, and we can explain our ideas better. All of this helps us produce better papers. Also, if the writer is interested in the subject, this interest often translates into the writer making a more interesting paper, which keeps the reader more interested and gives people a better opinion of how good of a writer that person really is. Finally, I learned that the teacher makes a world of difference. My English lecturer was cheerful and seemed enthusiastic about their work. He made the class interesting and kept my attention, which is often hard to do. He seemed able to relate to us in a friendly way, rather than as teacher to a student. He made the class fun, while still keeping it a class, not a game. When the class is more fun it causes the students to become better motivated to do well. This is what most influenced me during the semester. If it were just another boring old English class I wouldn't have accomplished anything. These are the things that I learned throughout the semester. They are the things I feel were most important. Writing to become better at writing, being able to choose my own topic that interests me, and the luck of having a good lecturer helped most in my improvement. I only hope to improve more next semester. At least I have a better idea of what to expect.
