I am trying to improve my writing skill through this class and I feel I am improving.  I have been writing a lot as this class has been going on.  But I need to practice more and more to improve my writing skills because practice makes people perfect.  Before I start writing, I try to understand the topic or essay first as much as possible. I write  down the ideas then pick up those ideas related to the topic. But I take some time to think and write down the thesis statement, reasons, and evidence.

 At this time, from this class my goal is to take CAT Test and pass it so I can take the main course related to my major which is accounting. Besides writing in computer,  I think we should practice hand writing because it will help us to write fast with nice and neat. It will help us to write fast, nice, and neat in CAT Test. I think we should practice on grammar sometimes because it is important when you write. Some students have very good ideas and strong writing,  but they need to build up their writing by using the grammatical  method.  Mostly, I would rather like to work and to discuss as group and team than individually. For example, we did so much work on the movie “The Matrix” which  was an important part of our class. But we watched it individually and worked on it individually. Some people missed it  for the lack of resource and time. It would have been more effective if we would watch it  in the class as we watched Truman in the class.  I could have built up my essays more effectively but sometimes time did not allow me because I work at overnight and I am full-time student. That's why I misses some work but I will catch it up.I would like to work more closely with teacher and students so I can improve and leave behind my weaknesses.
