Post #7

What difficulties do you have writing in your university classes? How do you resolve these difficulties? How will you continue to improve? Use approximately 300 words.

1.I have encountered problem while brainstorming of ideas that are nedded in the writing. This may be due to the lack of reading of articles. This problem can be resolved by using the search engine to search for articles related to the writing. Hence, ideas can be generated after reading through these articles. Alternatively, I used the mind-mapping method to see how each small ideas can be linked/related to each other.

2.Another difficulty that I have encountered while writing is grammar. The questions that I will ponder are:
1.Which tenses should I use?
2.Which pronounce should I use?
I resolved this problem by checking through the writing to see if there is any grammar error that need to be corrected.

3.The third problem that I have encountered while writing is phrasing. Because of the limited vocabulary that I have, it is very difficult to think of the appropriate words to use and also how can I phrase it in a way that I want it to turn out to be. Furthermore, the problem turns even worst when I am thinking in chinese and need to translate it into english. Normally, I will resolve this problem by writing the translated phrase down and think it over again and again, to see if there is any improvement that can be make.

4.The last difficulty that I faced with while writing is the essay that I had written is not up to the word limits. I will resolve this problem by reading through the essay again and again, to check if there is any things that I can add into the essay.

I will continue to improve my writing by doing the pre-writing and proofreading.

  1. Hi

    I also faced the same problem as you, that is limited vocabulary.

    You have a typo error: nedded should be needed.

    It has been such a joy having you in my class. Your good nature and wry humour had contributed much to the liveliness of our class.
