In this week, we have experienced the first writing exam in Wednesday. I found majority of my classmates wrote much more than me. Meanwhile, the quality of my essay is also questionable. Here are the problems in this writing. Firstly, my expression is poor because I do not take enough practice in this kind of writing. So I use most of my time to adapt the format rather than the conversing journal. Secondly, the way of typing and hand writing is quite different because the software can help me correct the mistaken word. But when I wrote in the exam, it is not smooth to write down some new words what I just learned in these two weeks. Finally, I spend too much time in the introduction paragraph. The time spending is not scientific, which leads to the fact that I do not having time to check my grammar. Now we also begin to write a response essay for two articles, this is similar with the one article response but the requirement is higher due to more words but same time. So I need to practice more and never lazy to write essay down to the paper.
I found the study in this week is not very efficiency. When I write something in the internet, it is easy to lose concentration. Sometimes I watch some news, sometimes I chart with my friend. But I always lose my purpose when I use a computer. I am person who have a lot of interest, but sometime my hobby can interrupt my study. So I must treat seriously this drawback and make sure I have a definite plan when I use computer to study.
The exam of listening and reading still seems a huge task for me. I feel a lot of pressure than before. if I chose again, I would not choose 25 weeks language learning because the time is so long and I have began to feel exhaust; but the attitude to study is so important and it is the basic to success. So I have no choice that if I failed in the final exams, I would come back to China because I do not want to study English course anymore and that will be so sad. I can not let my parents down so the best way is that make full use of all study materials from Carla, Jonathan and online Learning hub. Come on, trust myself, I am the best!

Hi,Lytton, i have the same problem as you when i use computer to learn English. i am always distracted by chatting with friends or those disguising pop-up ads. So using a MP3 to some litening practices would be better.
ReplyDeleteit's exactly what happen to me. Computer + Internet = perfect means to entertain and gossip rather than study. So my solution is listening to English songs. It's entertaining and also help to practice listening. Studying at ILC is not a bad idea, there is no distractions if u don't try to find them :)
ReplyDeleteIntroduction is always the most difficult and taking-time part of a writing, so i think we should have the same structure for introduction when we are writing.
