My Goals for this semester.

I'm so excited to start this semester and I just want to feel more comfortable on writing. I'll doing all my homework because I want to learn. I want to improve my skills in English. In my opinion GAP is a good level for keep working in my weaknesses.

Hello

Hello everyone...have good day.

Experience at ELC

GAP classes are productive because I can learn more thing and I can have more time for improve my skills. For example, It is a great idea that every student has a goal and them they can reach their  specific goal. For example, I need to improve my writing skills, I want to write in 30 minut a really good essay include all the steps. I need to improve my reading skills because I need to understand the specific topics.I think it is the best time for learn English because they have some instruments for improve that.

Preparing for this semester

Sadly, this semester is a worst, because the program of this semester is whats i did in last semester and now I have to relearn everything. In the beginning, I felt too bad for redoing everything, but now, I felt much better already because I know that this time is the best time for me to prepare the TOEFL's tests and I also don't have to spend too much time to finish homework because I did finish all of them in last semester.

In this semester, I'm improving my speaking and writing skill. In fact, in writing skill in need to learn how to take notes while listening to a lecture, write down the main ideas and link it together on 20-paragraph. This part is very necessary in TOEFL. I need to work on it professionally and try to be good at writing essays. 

For speaking skill, this semester I live with two American girls, they are cool and very nice to me. I hide them I'm studying English at the ELC because I'm shy and ashamed if anyone know me studying English and because of that, I can't speak English confidently and fluently. I speak to them like I'm a student in a university and I feel that my English is improving quickly day by day. Last semester, I took the TOEFL's tests and the score in my speaking skill is kind of low and it was the lowest. I hope that I will do it better in the next time I redo the TOEFL's tests. 

My goal for this semester in writing class is can write 30 minute essay with fluency and coherence. I would like to use more academics words in my essays, also, if I can use it in my speaking, it will be very well for me. Also, I need to improve the use of prepositions and transitions words in essays and in my speaking too. Prepositions is my weakness in my English, so I will be glad if I can improve it and write essays much better than before.

     My grammar goals are:  Write a perfect paragraph. Thus, I will be able to write a paragraph without grammar errors.  Write a perfect 30 minutes essay. Therefore, I will be able to write an essay with a good structure on it and without grammar errors.  Furthermore, I want to use correctly some transitons words on my essays . Finally,  I want to use a lot of academic vocabulary on my essays.

My goal is to increase my skills in writing, and I just need to learn my punctuation and also to occupy the right words when I write in the past.

How to improve

I want to improve my writing skills in this semester. I need more speedy writing when I write essay. I always use a lot of times in each paragraph. Therefore I could not finish in 30 minute. My first goal is I have to think about how many times does each paragraph need. Also, I need to use more academic vocabulary and use many transition words. Therefore I will write an essay once a week at least.

My Goal

      My goal for this semester is memorize academic words and use it in essay. My weak point for writing is vocabulary. I need to use more academic word in essay, but I am really bad at memorize something. That is really hard thing for me, but I know that to become a good writer needs to choose good words for an essay. That mean I should know academic words. That's why I want to memorize academic word, and this is my goal for this semester. If I do it, I can become better writer.

Step by Step!

Sometimes we are confused as to begin a new a strategy to reach our goals. The patience is great virtue that I need for continue my studies in English. I want to write a 30 minutes-essay with accuracy and fluenly mood.Also I want to write and understand the structure of each type of essay.  Practicing the contents of this class I hope to achieve my goals.

My Experiment

Here's my blog post.

New Semester, New Goals

It's the beginning of a new semester, and with a new beginning comes new goals. This semester, to improve my writing, I've made a goal to write in a writing journal every day, even if I only have five minutes to spare. Sometimes I might write about my day or what I learned. Other times, I think I will write down ideas for stories or essays that I want to write. I think that this will help me focus on what I need to do to improve. And sometimes, I'll actually write those stories and essays.

Write a blog post about your goals for this writing class, then publish it so the rest of the class can see it. After several students have published, read a few or their posts and choose one to comment on.

Each week you will respond to a new topic that I post and comment on a classmate's posts. Have fun following our blog! And have fun increasing your English ability "one daffodil at a time."
