Think about the writing classes

All the writing in my life has gotten a lot of experiences. It is also really difficult things for the person without literacy skills like me because of poor memories, I could not get more ideas as well as structures of the writing for my own writing. In the first of essay, I had scored C with many teacher’s comments, of course, I was really sad and disappointed in myself. More disappointed when teacher’s feedback complained about incoherent sentences and bad handwriting. However, I did not give up and quickly forgot these mistakes as soon as possible, moreover, I read as much as books, taking notes for my own words. Honestly, thanks to teacher’s feedback, I could understand my own shortcomings and correct it. In my opinion, The most helpful feedback that I think is detailed comments as well as references. Nevertheless, there is a few problematic feedback like no comment or short comments because I could not recognize my weakness besides I could not get teacher’s knowledge that conveyed for me.

  1. I remember when I wrote an essay for a master's class, the feedback was "60" and the only comment was "run-on's". I didn't even know what a 'run-on' was at that time (Americans always make those mistakes). It was not good feedback. However, I looked up those words in Google and I discovered the meaning. We all have mistakes and we improve them by taking care and practicing a lot. You will improve! =)

    1. Thank for your feedback. The way I can improve that is practicing a lot. It means I should write a lot, doesn't it? I used to write, but sometime I do not know it is right or wrong. Should I imitate some authors the way they write, the words they chose, and the styles they write. .... I need your help :). Anyways, thank for your feedback

    2. Unfortunately, we don't write a lot anymore in our daily lives. We text or talk. Continue to take classes which will make you write. The best way to improve your writing is to read. I highly suggest you try to read A LOT in English. That is easier to do than writing, and it helps your writing skills a lot.

  4. Thuan, I didn't know that your hand writing is ugly. Honestly, I have to check it out the next time I see you.:)
    It's interesting for me to know that you are not a literacy person because I spend lots of time with you and you have talked a lot about just any thing. You know, this doesn't make sense at all. I thought your writing should be better because you always come up with numerous ideas in a short time. May be you have been thinking too much and got yourself mixed up? I know i'm not the best but please feel welcome to ask me to help your writing anytime. I will try my best to help you understand your weaknesses in writing. Remember, don't give up :P
