Hello, everyone. Nice to see you again here. The weather seems to be crazy, so I cannot choose easily what to wear. Take care yourselves in such an annoying change of the season.
This time I would like to tell you how I write. I am a very big fan of writing, especially about me and my days. However, I don't like to show what I write to someone. It's a top secret. :P I have written my diary since I was 21 by myself. Actually, we were forced to keep a diary everyday in elementary school. I didn't enjoy that much as any children did. Unlike that time, recording my each day was my only joy. I collected a mountain of stickers to decorate my lovely diary. Anybody who has seen my diary was surprised how I did. I want to show some picture of it, but the USB that photos are in isn't with me, unfortunately. I will attach them when I get it back from my friend.
Anyway, when I write a diary, I don't think so deeply. Just remind me of what I did well and bad, who was on my nerves, who was nice to me, and so on. I am a person who lacks concentration, but not very, so my writing is fun and not so serious. These days I am writing some serious diary because I don't see my future clearly, though.
My boyfriend sometimes recommends me to be a writer. He is a big fan of my essay, but I don't think I am a good one who can let people touched. I need to be learned.
Let me tell you how I come up what to write when I do in academic way. I have some experience to take a writing exam;in a test to go to the US for free as language study abroad, and to be a student in English Essay Writing class. I couldn't get the chance to go to the US. Yet, I realised I had to learn how to write from then on, so I am here!
Here is how I come up with how I write in another case.
First, when I get the topic that I have to write I try to connect with my own experience. It helps me a lot to develop my essay. I guess I spend less than 20 minutes on finding the related experience. Then, I draw the structure of the direction.
Second, I search for something enable to be connection between the topic and experience. So to speak, it is a transition. I like to use a suitable figure of speech. For instance, when I begin an essay, I like to mention something like fairy tales that the main character replaced by me. It attracts the reader's interest.
Third, I write as well as I can.
At last, I finish the essay referring to my conclusion. It can be suggestions, opinion, whatever. It depends on the genre of an essay.
There is one thing that I didn't know until I failed to go to the US for free. I wrote the conclusion at the end of an essay. Of course, I did at the test. However, sadly, it wasn't a good way in writing. I realised that very much, and now I do mention the main point at the very first paragraph-or it can be at the second-definitely.
That's all for homework this week, and have a nice weekend!
p.s the test to go to the US was held by language centre, and 17 students got the chance. They stayed at Monclair Uni. for 2 weeks.
+ I would like to learn the use of punctuation marks. I am not sure about the marks I used here. Please let me know, Sarah. :)
Hi, Whidly~ :>
답글삭제Will you going to the US??
When i was young, i enforced to write a diary, too. So, it is hard to close with writing ㅠㅠ and Wow, you've got a chance in the states. Congratulation!!!! and good luck with that :D
답글삭제no no, I couldn't get the chance, it's already gone! Kasey, I don't think I am going, but want to visit the US someday. :)
답글삭제Thanks for sharing Whidly! Its great that you love writing and have done it regularly from an early age. Have you been writing in Korean or English in your journal?
답글삭제Im sorry that the trip to the U.S. did not work out. But its great that you learned from the experience about the importance of writing (especially in U.S. universitites) and that the main idea should be introduced in the introduction.
Don't worry Whidly, we will continue to work on grammar and punctuation.
I just checked your reply. Thanks. I sometimes write in English, and I do enjoy it even though perfect sentences cannot be come up.
