Critical Reflection: Essay Writing (Draft 1)

Essay writing had always been a difficult task throughout my life. In the past, I have a phobia in writing essays as the result I got from writing essays are bad. I was disappointed with myself so I started questioning myself why, as I do have great ideas and content in writing the essays.

When I first started this course I was determined to find out what is really wrong with my essays. During this course with my helpful instructor I had learned correct grammar for essay writing, the usage of words, and how certain words might be rude to the reader. He has introduced interactive ways like blogging to enhance our learning experiences and our interpersonal learning skill. Throughout this course, I find that the organization structure of my essay is always not very well defined in the past. Therefore the message in my past essays could not be conveyed to my reader. In this course, I have learned to organize my essay so that my thoughts will flow coherently in my essay.

Through the practices that I had in this course, I began to realize what is the most important thing I need to improve on which is organization structure and

Grammar. This course is too short for I to have great improvements in terms of essay writing, but I believe with the language tools I have achieved from this course I will be able to improve my essay writing in the future. One habit, which I cultivated from this course, is before the start of any essay I will spend 5 minutes planning the structure of it.
