How my writing skills have changed


It’s great that we live in the era of technology nowadays, because there have been many things which I’ve learned this year using my computer and smartphone and I’ve successfully implemented them into my projects and essays, making them more structuralized and logical.   
First things first, I’ve had a wonderful opportunity to improve my writing skills this year. Writing has always been my weak side as I considered the handwriting method to be an obsolete one. Thus, such an essential aspect of the English language didn’t elicit my interest at all and that is why I hated writing huge essays. However, everything changed when it was announced that I would work on my writing skills using technology. I realized then how great, fast and convenient it would be to study in such an entertaining way!
Secondly, this course allows me to put a lot of words that I’ve previously learned into practice!  The method of memorizing lexis by using it in essays results in enriching my vocabulary. In addition, not only is the interface of the blog I use colourful and stylish, but also I can easily read my works any time I’d like to because they are all kept on my page and I don’t have to flip through tons of pages in my notebook searching for the particular essay. Not to mention a huge advantage of this course which is the opportunity to receive a quick feedback from our teacher. Previously, I had to wait quite a considerable amount of time for the lesson, which was once a week, to have my essay checked, but now I can message the teacher via WhatsApp or I can see their feedback in the comments section on my blog page.
Thirdly, it helped me to identify my strong and weak sides. Although my writing skills are yet far from the ones I am eager to achieve, I still have a zest for constant enhancement of my skills so that one day I could be fully satisfied with myself. Unfortunately, my inattentiveness occasionally results in mistakes, but it’s not really much of a problem, as I truly believe that by practicing, dedicating yourself to work hard anything can be achieved.
All things considered, I am deeply thankful for the course. I experienced lots of ups and downs, learned how important it is to stick to the structure of the essay, so that it can be written in a more sophisticated, eloquent, and refined way. Thank you for the priceless gift we all now have – the advanced level of writing!

Post-6

Chinese people tend to forget characters throughout their lives because of technological progress: mobile phones, laptops, Ipads, etc. According to the video , not only can’t older people write down some characters, but also lots of teenagers find it difficult to remember such widely used characters as, for example, a tooth paste, obscene, etc. In my opinion, it’s becoming a national problem in China. Nowadays, there are lots of surveys in China that draw people’s attention to characters and their remembrance. To begin with, such surveys have several goals to achieve: to show the Chinese people how the world has influenced their culture and language and what can be solved or done to prevent such problems to occur in the nearest future. For example, the number of people using laptops and gadgets has increased for the recent fifteen years and that is why the need in handwriting slightly decreases over the years. People would rather text each other in their gadgets than write somethi...

Wokring on improving my skills to make a better thesis statement

1. In the era of electronics, computers are likely to be found in most of educational institutions or companies so that people can have more opportunities to learn or work with the help of technology. 2. Although the judge has not been yet provided with strong evidence against Scott Peretson, implication in a crime of the latter is still a disputable question. 3. The results of the recent survey detected that hamsters are considered to be by far the cutest rodents because of their fur. 4. Lots of middle-class people in America claim that colleges charge high tuition, however, not only do they provide students with specific knowledge that is necessary for their future work, but also they teach students how to think out of the box. 6.Although traditionally people make New Year’s resolutions about cutting weight, the recent research showed that only 30% of such people have enough discipline and persistence to make their wishes come true. 7.Prejudiced attitude towards new hip-h...

The Financier

The Financier I chose to read a novel 'The Financier' written by Theodore Dreiser. Honestly, I had a choice to make: to read Martin Eden (the book which I had already read in Russian) or to read the Financier which was  completely new  book to me. I decided to give it a go and start reading the Financier. It's important to mention that I enjoy reading such books as they encourage their readers to act like the main characters, to achieve their own success through constant struggles and adversities. The book cover doesn't contain a lot of info about the plot. It only briefly tells a reader about the author(1). 'The Financier' is based on real-life of streetcar tycoon whose real name was Charles Yerkes.  I reckon the main theme of the book is competition or, to put it in another way, a financial war. It symbolizes Frank's determination in gaining his goals and his desire to have an upper hand over everyone competing with him. He wants total ...
