WRITING 1 CLASS
The last semester was
my first time to take Writing 1. In the first place, I met Mr. Saunir and Ms.
Fitra as the lecturers to teach about Writing 1 n my class. I remembered that I
was the first student who was chosen by the lecturer to give the presentation
about paragraph descriptive text. I did
presentation in front of the class about “Uniform in Universities.” In fact, I
got some comments by lecturers and the audiences. Since I followed Writing 1
class, I learnt many things on how to write a paragraph. I understood on how to
write a paragraph, on how to write the short essay, and on how to make an outline.
Being a college student, I had to make an essay every week. Then, each student
had to do presentation in front of the class with their own text. After that,
we did discussion, where the college students were allowed to give some
suggestions, and asked some questions about the presentation at that time. For
me, it works. Why? By doing small discussion at the end of her/his
presentation, it could improve the quality of writing students’ understanding.
While I was following the
writing class, I also got some problems. Sometimes, I could not write well,
because my mood was not good. I could not concentrate on how to think some good
ideas. It would impact to my own writing, because I could not get the point of
view of the topic itself. The lecturer used to ask the students to make a
paragraph, even an essay every week in orders others friends could correct our
writing. It means students need to share each other about writing, and we had
to read a lot to get the information. Sometimes, I also could not receive my
friends’ suggestion, because I think it was not suitable based on the writing
rules. I had more strong reasons based on what I had learnt before doing
presentation. Furthermore, they blamed me that I was too egoism person, because
I was grant my own opinion.
Besides, I also got a
problem to spread the ideas. When a lecturer asked me to write something I
could not write immediately on the paper, but I needed the times to make the
outlines first. The problem that I found while I am doing examination is time.
I could not be hurry in finishing a paragraph, because I need time to think the
explanation of the topic. The lecturers used to give the certain time to finish
the examination. So, through the certain times, I had to finish it. That was my
bad mistake that I could not manage time well.
Not only had the bad
experiences which I got while I was learning Writing 1 classed, but also the
good one. I understood on how to write something based on writing rules. I
could help some people who had lack of writing understanding, such as giving
some suggestions and comments. By helping some people, I could take something
on it. I can remember continuously by sharing to my friends. It could add my knowledge through helping some
people in writing.
In conclusion I enjoyed
Writing 1 class. I got As for Writing 1 in the last semester. Even though I got
some problems, but I tried to be professional to face the situation. Writing 1
classed had done, and the next challenge comes to warn myself in maintaining
this mark and knowledge. I realize Essay Writing came as the golden way to
improve my writing skill. Let’s see what would happen next. I wish I can do the
best as same as the last semester.
