1. Describe in detail one piece of writing that you have done in English. It could be a class assignment, a letter, a story, etc. Tell me the process that you used in writing it; in other words, how did you go about the task? Then tell me what you enjoyed about it and what was difficult. Remember to explain why.

When I came to CMU at first time, I started to write diary in English, but it does not a long time. First of reasons is that it was difficult to write in English. Second of reasons is that it was bored the daily routine. I always wrote same contents. For example, ‘I went to OIE, and I went to Music building to play the piano’…etc..It was so bored and there is not person who can revise grammar in my diary at that time. Even if I use an incorrect grammar, I couldn’t know that. I realized that it could not help me, so I decided to wrote two essays for one week. I think it will be help to writing skill.

2. Do you enjoy writing in your native language? Why? or why not?

What do you write in your native language?

Yes, I enjoy writing in Korean which is my native language because it is easy to write something. Also, I always enjoy writing something.

I wrote diary in my note, and whenever I go to travel, I always wrote travel story with my pen and my paper.

3. Have you ever kept a diary or journal? Explain.

I have kept my diary until now. I had written a diary until 13 years old because it was my homework in my elementary school. However, after graduated high school, I had written my diary because I liked to document something. When I go to travel, I always bring my diary. When I came to U.S.A, I also bring it. I have written diary until today. As time goes by, I will read it. When I read it, I will be exciting, and I can reminisce of my childhood memory.

4. What do you feel is the most important thing you want to learn from this class?

I want to learn writing skill in this class. I couldn’t write essay perfectly on time now. I think writing is an important part because it is one of methods to express own thought. I think if I can do writing well, I can do speaking well. Now days, what own thought should be expressed exactly is important. Hence, I think it is important what we express own thought in a short time.

    Thanks for writing, Jin. I know from experience that writing a daily journal can be a little boring. You don’t have to write a daily journal for this class, but I will be giving you topics to write about related to your experience writing English. Besides my journal assignments, please feel free to write any thoughts you have about your growth as a writer.
