writing self reflection

              I am not good at writing at all, even though it is my native language—Chinese. When I was in my primary school, I did not like Chinese class, because I need to read lots of boring articles and write many essays. Moreover, we have to insert many idioms and paradigmatic sentences during writing. Sometimes, we   just put various rhetoric structures in articles instead of substantive contents in order to gain more scores. Nevertheless, it is very different from English writing. In English writing, for instance, we should write our real feeling and experience for the resource without euphuism. Thus, I more like English writing style, since I love read novels and magazines, which are more attractive. However, I still have some problems and difficulties during English writing, such as word and grammar use. At the ESL class beginning, I had to think about which are    descriptive and informative words and what is proper to use before I wrote down them. When I began writing my digital story outline, I had few ideas about the content and how to write so long story. But after more class taken, I learned how to write more formally and how to expand the details. Furthermore, classmates’ comments give me some advises about how to improve it, which help me to revise it better, like add more interesting details. Besides them, the articles of plagiarism also help me a lot, because in China, teachers do not tell us about plagiarism and copyright infringement, which makes us may be punished. Though I have improved a lot during these two moths learning, I still have some questions about citing. During I writing summaries, I forget to cite some fragments or just change a few original structures.

           In the future studying, I need to focus on these problems to perfect my writing skills.
