Examples Of Reflective Essay English

My last English class was English 2. English has never been the easiest subject for me. Through much trial and error I have overcome some things, yet fail to overcome others. While I am strong in being able to correct the mistakes I make in my writing, I need to strengthen my abilities in setting up my essay and finally overcome the difficulty I have with my reading comprehension skills.

My writing skills have fluctuated throughout the semester. I feel, although, I have mastered leads and headline writing. Leads and headlines were the first writing skills we practiced and have continued to practice throughout the entire semester. The continuous practice of leads and headline writing throughout the semester, I feel confident in my ability to write concise, eye-catching leads and headlines. For writing assignment three I needed to provide a follow-up headline and corresponding lead for a criminal case. The headline had to focus on the upcoming sentencing hearing because it was the newest information about the case. In order to do so, as I mention in my blog entry, I had to write several drafts for both my headline and lead. [INSERT BLOG PICTURE] After many drafts of the lead I settled on a summary-lead because the article was a follow-up story about an established criminal case. I wrote the headline after I wrote the lead because the headline had to be a shorter, more intriguing version of the lead. After many drafts I finally wrote a six worded, eye-catching headline that was about the sentencing hearing. [INSERT WRITING ASSIGNMENT

English classes are very important if you want to pursuit your academic goal, and there are a lot of things that I learned about academic writing in this semester. At first, I thought that it was going to be easy as long as I kept doing my brief assignments on time and showing up in classes. However, I was wrong, English is hard, especially if you are an international student because the methods of writing an essay are different. Though, I decided to take English 1301 because I wanted to be able to write something that would make it easier for a reader to understand, and of course to make me get good grades in other classes assignments. Also, because I didn’t know the difference between writing a rhetorical analysis essay and writing a normal

Starting my ENG101 class, I felt like it was the basics of learning grammar and English material from high school. However, I quickly learned that I needed to brush-up on some of my writing skills. I acquired skills of the past, as well as some new ones. Writing may still be slightly confusing to me when using correct punctuation, run-on sentences, and organizing my thoughts. Learning to use an outline, create a topic to answer questions, and brainstorming has taught me to become a better writer.

When I found out I was taking English 115 I thought, “Oh great, another English class and I am terrible at writing essays.” My expectations for this class were low because I thought it would be a continuation of a mix of AP Language and Literature and I drained of those two classes. As the first week passed and I gave myself time to read the syllabus, I found the structure of the class to seem quite intriguing. It is split up into three sections; project web, project space and project text. Although there were essays for each section, I wasn’t as intimidated because there were projects and online Moodle assignments that went along with them. I was able to use my creativity for the projects which helped me better understand the subject, so I found the essay writing process less stressful. After finishing English 115 I can successfully say that I have become a better writer, I have fluently kept a style that works for me and I feel more confident in writing and reading lengthy works. I have finally grasped skills that I couldn’t quite understand in high school, like transitions and thesis statements. I am not as intimidated to read an eight-page text and I no longer skip to the end to see how many pages there are in a text. My perspective on critical reading and writing has positively changed because I understand why I should read and write, not because I have to.

Improving my writing has not been easily achieved, because the last six months have been some of the hardest I have experienced in a long time, they required me to make many sacrifices in my personal life. The two months that COMN 155 required were the most exhausting out of the three courses I took at SAIT, and with the help of wonderful instructors, many aspects or my writing improved gradually over time. From spelling, punctuation and word choice to complete understanding and reproduction of a text; ELF courses were the best decision I made to improve my skills.

All my life I have struggled with English due to the fact that I did not learn English till the age of seven as it was not first language. Programs like ESL have helped me improve my English tremendously through high school. Over these past two quarters in college, I learned to improve my writing more than ever, as I have learned that there is no limit in writing.

In English Composition this year I have learned a lot about myself as a writer, I am writing this essay to reflect on how I have grown as a writer. I have had a short time at Chana, but in that time I have written many extended responses about various topics, two short stories, and a research paper on Project MKULTRA. I have grown as a writer in doing all of these papers and stories.

This year, we have written several essays; all of which I have learned something new to help improve my writing. Looking back at my writing from the start of the year to now, I have encountered substantial improvements in my ability to form an effective introductory paragraph, my ability to use different types of phrases and my development of examples. “My Summer Reading Essay,” written earlier in the year, demonstrates my lack of knowledge on writing an introductory paragraph, using topic sentences and developing examples. However, since the beginning of the year, I have begun to see improvements in essays like “Major Works I” and the “Joe and Claire Narrative” that include more effective introductory paragraphs, the use of different types

I always thought that my writing skills were pretty good until I started this class. It has been thirteen years since I graduated high school and I quickly realized that I had a lot of “refreshing” to do as far as writing papers. I actually felt very discouraged when I took the grammar test and did not score very well. I knew that I had to dedicate myself and put a lot of effort into this class to really improve. The practice quizzes were a major help to refresh on everything I must have forgotten since high school. Being able to write a quality paper is a skill that everyone should master. Writing is such a major part of communication in this day and age so being able to write an intelligent paper will benefit you not just through school but also through life. Writing skills are a reflection of intelligence and I want to perfect my writing the best that I can. Being able to write a quality paper is a skill that everyone should master.

At my internship, there are often when critical thinking becomes necessary throughout the week during group with the LGBTQ adolescents. Working weekly, with these young people using critical thinking is especially essential because of the wide variety of problems or issues that can arise with a person who identifies as gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender or questioning is experiencing or has had in the past. Therefore, social work practice within my internship demonstrates the use of critically analyzing knowledge of assessments, prevention, and interventions to help these young people navigate through difficult and uncertain times. I believe that critical thinking is vital at Youth-Outlook to help formulate conceptualize, apply, and

Throughout the year my knowledge has increased tremendously. For example, at the start of the year I didn’t know how to write a hook or thesis, but know after having increased my knowledge for half a year under your teaching I know know how to write a strong hook and create a good thesis. In your class my brain synapses fired when I learned that using the word “you” was not correct in a proper English essay. In constructing a strong understanding of plot you helped me to more fully understand the stories that I read for fun and in your class. Also I learned about the different types of figurative language when I had previously only known about simile and metaphor. This helped me to understand what authors are talking about when they say you, “Jumped the gun,” and other confusing phrases I otherwise would never understand. I say this with a benign expression that without you I would never know most of those WOD words that you give us and what they mean when I come across them in a book. Also I learned a great deal about Shakespeare’s life and that he actually was born and died on the same day and that while he not only was a writer, he also took on some roles in his plays. I learned about how multiple things that a character does, says, and even what he looks like can tell you a lot about who the character is. Throughout this year I have been privileged to have you as my teacher and I have gave you my listening ears as a quid pro quo in exchange for a slice of your

I initiate this course without a clear idea of how I could really wrote a three-page essay in English. I can honestly say that this is the first time that a class has really scared me, always I have passed all my courses but this class has really been difficult for me. In my first assignment I spent the whole night doing it. I could not find a way to coordinate my words or how to make a good
