Option #2: Writing Differences
I start my journey of learning English as second language since I was twelve years old in middle school. Incipiently, our English teacher taught us the simplest and most basic words such as weather, color, numbers, and short greeting sentences, say, how are you. Undeniably, learning this new language is originally just like open a door to the new world for me. We practice communicating by using these simple words. Every week, our teacher would give us a list that filled with some English words. According to English teacher’s instruction, we had to remember all of these new vocabularies, and she would quiz us weekly. If someone is unfortunately fail the quiz, he or she must stay in the classroom until pass another quiz. Day by day, under such a situation, we gradually can compose and utilized these words that we learned and remembered in creating our own short sentences, then paragraphs, and eventually, short essays yet with many mistakes.

Thanks to my extreme affections of reading ancient Chinese books, I can easily use ancient Chinese language to write poems or treatises. Whereas, due to the lack of interests of reading English novels, I cannot write many beautiful sentences like Shakespeare. Also, besides required English textbooks, I virtually don’t read many English books or novels as I read in Chinese. That’s a problem and I think I need to make myself reading more and more English books. One day, I truly hope I can write in English as gorgeous as writing in Chinese. In addition, writing English is irrefutably crucial, not only because I am studying in America, but also I need to master this most widely used

    Good afternoon, I am an alumna of the high school you are currently working in. The reason I am contacting you today is for the reason that, as an undergraduate at the University of California, Davis, I wanted to provide you with some feedback on how I believe the direction English courses should go. I am interested in helping you and other high school teachers identify new strategies in teaching to help out high school students benefit from a high school English course and be able to apply their knowledge into a college level English course. My experience in English, constructed my view on the overall subject. I used to believe that English was a fairly simple subject.…

    In my earliest moments of middle school writing was one of my favorite activities to do because I could let go of emotions on paper. Writing was fun but it can also be boring at the same time because it depends what you can write about. When I got into high school writing was a week point. Even though I was not a great writer, I still have some negative and positive experiences that shape my writing today. Ever since I left my old school, writing has clicked for me and has created many new opportunities for me to succeed.…

    I feel that writing is a good subject to be familiar and practicing in frequently, it is a necessary tool to communicate properly. Although, if I were to be truthful I’d have to say that I am not the biggest fan of it due to the fact that it bores me and I have trouble figuring out what to say. So I find it hard to enjoy writing because most of the time I am just struggling to concentrate because I don’t have much more to say about a topic. Recently, since I have not been in school for a while, I have found myself forgetting rules to the English language in my everyday speech so I find it to be useful. This has influenced how I feel about writing because the more I write, the more easily I can remember to use these rules in my daily…

On the other hand, I when I am given a topic to write about I think it is harder to make the paper interesting and enjoyable to read.…

    Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind. Although other species may have audible forms of communication, man is able to record and document his thoughts, feelings, or events that have unfolded in a way that can be viewed multiple times without him having to use his voice over and over. Literacy is a skill that adults in the United States are expected to have; but the level of your literacy says a lot about you and can have a tremendous impact on what career you end up in. For this reason, this college English class is a requirement for all those seeking a degree. Not only did I learn how to think of subjects and topics more objectively, but I learned a multitude of different modes and strategies I can employ in my writing.…

    I love enriching myself by learning about other cultures, travelling, being aware of the history of different countries and, above all, learning languages. As a curiosity, I remember doing a kind of dictionary with the new English words I learnt when I was ten; so I can state that I have always had the same interests. Especially, I consider that learning English is essential for me, because I want to work abroad and travel everywhere. I do not know if I will have a job which will allow me to use many languages, as in a multilingual environment, or if I will have to focus on only one, like translation; but what I know for sure is that in both cases, English will be…
