During the past six weeks in my Freshman Composition course, I learned a lot about blogging. It has since been another way for me to communicate to the outside world and express myself accordingly. Also the blogging experience made me to delve into issues I was previously uninterested in before. For instance, I was not a fan of political or social issues, but lately, I find myself reading newspapers and magazines so as to keep myself up-to-date. In essence, the whole blogging experience has broadened my horizons. However, not only has my freshman composition class exposed me to blogging, but it has also been influencing my writing.
Writing papers has always been my most-hated task in school. I am rather a “Mathematics” person so to say, but I usually did very well in my English papers. However, my experience in my English class has helped me sharpened some of my skills in writing. I have learnt to develop a good thesis, to set out a well-organized outline, to do a lot of research and cite sources, to effectively use transition words to connect paragraphs, and to wrap up my essay with a good conclusion. It has been a whole new level of writing. Therefore I am proud to say that I have become a better writer.
