Reflection The work I have done throughout my english course has helped me reach the course objectives. We each had to write three papers about our topic that we got to choose.

Even if they stayed here longer than they planned to and their visa got expired.Unfortunately, many people do enter illegally and can not apply for the process limiting them.”
I decided to use these two documents because out of the three documents I got two A’s and one B, so I just chose one A and the B one. My greatest strength I saw in my writing and portfolio was that I can give great examples when needed, but I just have to remember where they’re needed and when they are not.
