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!
