During this whole semester, I really have learned a lot for my English writing, even more than I expected.
Frankly, I don’t like language writing courses. When I was in China, Chinese class was my least favorite class. Chinese is my first language, but I even don’t like it. So not to mention English, my second language. Last semester, I had a painful experience for trying my best to survive in ENG111.
I feel my biggest progress this semester is that I can follow what the teacher was talking about in class most of time. Though there were classes about poetry that I didn’t understand at all, I feel more comfortable to listen and speak out in class. In addition, my writing has improved a lot as well. I think I can write in a more logical way at the beginning.
Overall, I feel Dr. Weaver put the class in a very meaningful and useful way, so I enjoy this class a lot.

I can imagine how hard that must be to be in a class that focuses solely on your second language. Im glad you enjoyed the class though!

I think it is amazing what you have done, being able to study here in a different language than your own is awesome. I applaud you for your efforts and hard work! I know that it would be impossible for me to do the same thing that you have done this semester.

I hear that English as a second language is one of the more difficult ones to grasp. I think it’s wonderful how you were able to learn enough to get by on a class that solely focuses on it.

It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one who dislikes my classes like that. English has never been my favorite subject, so I know exactly where you are coming from
