aaaaaFirst of all, I hate writing. What is the use of this freaking English even though I am just a mere indio? I was always saying to my friends, "I don't care if English is the universal language, I'll just work here in the Philippines so that it will not be hard for me." I have always said that until I attended the latter part of my high school years where I have experienced cramming, hardships and the need to pass the thesis required for us to submit to graduate. Because of my poor grammar, I began to quit. Until my father told me, "You can never achieve something if you will not be specific of what you want. Start with yourself first, and I will guarantee you that you might achieve what you want. And besides you are doing it for yourself not for anyone that is around you." Because of what my father said, I tried to forget first my hate in English and focus on what I want: To be a Successful CPA Lawyer.
aaaaaSo what is the main purpose of this course? Basically, it yearns for me to learn more, improve more, and develop more things that I need to be prepared of what is supposed to be happening in the outside world.It is as if our guide to become the best that I can be especially in communication. And just like what Rexona is saying in their famous line: “I WON’T LET YOU DOWN.” I think that is what my teacher is also telling me. That she won’t let me down in the sense that because of her, I can now surpass my hate with English and become the best Inglesero in the class.
aaaaaIn order fo me to be better with my writing, I should first set specific goals. First, as what I am talking about almost all the time in this essay. I want to improve my writing abilities. How would clients appeal for my products if the word I use have no connections with my advertisements? If I succeed in this goal, it will be easier for me to think about words that I will apply in essays. Not like in this one, that it took me for almost 20 centuries just to think of an introduction. To improve my critical-thinking skills and knowledge about topics are my second and third goals, respectively. If I improve my English, I would be able to have a more critical and creative mind. It can also help me be updated of what is really changing in the world right now.
aaaaaSo how will I achieve my goals other than writing this essay? First, like what other students want to do, I should read more books and other reading materials. If I read these materials, the words that I digest may help me improve my vocabulary. Not like what happened to me last year, a classmate of mine said APATHY and blood went flowing down my nose (Of course it is an exaggeration). If I read, I will Learn and if I learn, I can be the best. Second, I should write more essays so that it can help as a practice to my writing skills. Lastly, focus and listen to the professor where in my part is very hard because I’m not good with listening and attending to what my professors are saying.
aaaaaWriting is a very hard task for anyone like me who is practising a CARABAO ENGLISH kind of grammar. I need to set specific goals in order to achieve my wants as a student. Maybe if I take English seriously, I can be the next person to be given with the Pulitzer Award. I am like any other superheroes in comic books. Like Batman, Superman, Spiderman and the like, I also have a secret identity, an identity that would like to be better not only as a normal student in a University, but to also become one of the prestigious writers of the world. But unlike them I am a LASALLIAN, are you a LASALLIAN?
The article is very interesting. but aLTHOUGH THE ARTICLE has a very negative feeling the writer of the work obviously thought it through.
TumugonBurahinShe used different methods such as comparing with popular traits and popular things in the Philippine economy.
The attention grabber really captured my attention. I like the honesty of the essay. For someone who "practices carabao english", the writer is not so badat writing :)
TumugonBurahinThe INTRODUCTION is good. The sequence of ideas in the BODY is also good. The CONCLUSION is fine, but the last sentence could be improved.
Albert, its not a she, its a he
TumugonBurahinYour essay is very interesting to read full of examples from previous experiences. You also were able to incorporate what most readers could relate to as you mentioned your attitude toward English. In your concluding paragraph, you present a very clear picture of what you want to be, entirely the opposite of what you said in your introduction. Good job! However, you need to observe formal writing in this essay. Most of the expressions used are conversational, may be you may change your tone form informal/conversational to formal.
