Essay writing has always been a part of my academic journey.
In an essay, ideas presented are based on a main topic and are supported by
evidence. In the process of essay writing, I learnt to improve on my English
and ways to develop my points. The skills of writing a good essay are
especially important in my faculty, the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, as
I am often required to write essays.
At the start of the course, I was unfamiliar with the
structure of an academic essay and how to develop a point sufficiently; my
usage of tenses was also weak. With the help provided in the course, I was
exposed to the correct usage of English, and I learnt to avoid mistakes in my
writing by reading repeatedly to check for errors and approaching my friends
for peer review. Although my writing is still not perfect, I am making fewer
mistakes now as compared to at the start of the course. The course has allowed
me to learn the correct usage of tenses, such as summarizing and paraphrasing
sentences, and these skills have helped me in the process of essay writing. I
can further improve on my writing skills by familiarizing myself with the notes
in the course through memorizing, and remembering it. This can allow me to reduce
my errors in essay writing. I can also read more widely to be exposed to
writings of others, and learnt through analyzing their ways of writing and
usage of English.
In conclusion, this course has allowed me to improve on my
writing skills through lessons such as learning of tenses, summarizing and
paraphrasing. I can further improve by memorizing the usage of English and
reading more academic writings in the future.
