Critical
reflection - Jacqueline
Essay writing is an important requirement in the
Faculty which I belong to: School of Arts and Social Science. Ironically, it is
also an aspect of school life which I detest the most. It is never an easy task
for me, especially when it comes to academic essays. I believe it is due to my poor foundation in
English which led to my apathy towards this crucial requirement.
My weaknesses in writing are language and
organization. I did not know what articles, word form, preposition, parallelism
etcetera were before I attended ES1102. I wrote my essays based on my intuition
and I did not attempt to learn the rules that govern this language.
Additionally, I am a disorganized person and this trait extends to my essay
writing. Many times, people who read my
work are confused over the message I aim to convey; the important points are in
the essay but they are all dispersed.
Now, I constantly have doubts over my choice of words
despite noticing a slight improvement in my essay writing. More confidence is
required; thus, I have to grasp the basics of English before attempting to
write using complex vocabularies. To achieve that, I will read more newspapers
and short stories. In addition, I will maintain a habit of writing journals as
a form of practice.
