I am writing down my last assignment, and I can not feel easy any more. I am appreciating my teacher’s attention, for I know many tips through writing in high frequency. Practices make it going smoothly. At the beginning of assignment, I can not describe what I feel or think properly. In addition, I am in lack of kills of vocabularies and phrases or conjunctions. When I try to write and beautify some words, I learn how to use some different words for replacing. Because of practicing, I can express my thought or opinions by writing unhindered. When “there is a will, there is a hope”, I will move toward my way in writing. Thank you.
