I have learned how to answer and structure an essay. Furthermore,
place more emphasis on grammar during writing. I have improved the structure of
my essay. My main problem for not able to score for essays was because I did
not answer to the questions asked. And this is mostly due to the way I answer
and structured my essay. For the first two weeks, we have been taught on how to
correct our grammar. However, I felt that the pace of the lesson was too fast.
I could not catch up with the lesson. But I have to give credit to our
classmates for making the lessons interesting and informative. The presentations
on the grammar were useful. Since
grammar is the foundation for English, I hope that Prof Cook will go through
more grammar practices.
My weakness in English is grammar. I have weak foundation
for English. As a result, I have been always making grammar mistakes in essays
and during daily conversations. I would like to do more grammar practices to
avoid making grammar mistakes in future and also to speak confidently in
correct English. If time permits, I would like to learn different ways of ways
of answering different essays.
I have corrected most of the mistakes pointed out by Prof
Cook. There were some comments I understood but I did not know how to correct
those mistakes. I think that both audio and written feedback were useful. I
prefer to use both feedback at the same time to correct my mistakes. I hope
that Prof Cook and other tutors will use audio and written feedback to comment
on our essays in future, as I believe that is most effective way for me to
learn from my mistakes and correct them.
The grades that I have been tasked to grade on were accurate.
The scores I have obtained for my language, content and structure for Summary
and Reader Response were closed to the grades I have predicted.
