Critical Reflection

Before attending the first lesson of ES1102 at the start of this semester, I was determined to learn and develop better skills in writing essay. I am always having the difficulties to translate ideas in my mind into words or even paragraphs, especially in English. Despite writing essays and reports are inevitable since my education started, I was not aware of the proper way to draft an essay and prepare thesis statement. My English essays are never in proper structure and sometimes I had no ideas how to interconnect the sentences or paragraphs. Or rather I did not give a serious thought on how important is it to be able to write a proper English essays. As 12 weeks of ES1102 had past, it was a meaningful English learning journey to me; I had learned important tips how I should write my essay, make flow between sentences and how to cite a reference. This is because I have always thought that citation was just simply copy and paste of the web link and the authors’ name. In addition, the way the lessons being conducted in an interactive discussion manner also allow the students to share thoughts on the readings with each other. Besides able to understand the same concept from the different perspective of my friends, the evaluation from peers and reviewing others’ essays also helps me to identify and learn from mistakes.  After going through the writing and evaluating of essays, I am glad that i attended this module and hope the skills that I have picked up during the lessons able to give me more confidence in writing essays and reports in the future. After this module, I will definitely continue to work on my English writing skill.
