EG1471 e-portfolio 7

During writing practices, I will face some problems and the first one is, my ideas and points are always not organized properly, thus, the flow of ideas in my essay is not good. I will always get my ideas all mixed up, and let myself stuck during half way of writing. Besides that, sometimes I’ll have more ideas in certain paragraphs and just a few ideas in the other paragraphs, it makes my essay looked imbalance as certain paragraphs are too long while comparing to others. Also, I face difficulties to generate ideas while writing essays, I always find myself lack of ideas. Other than that, I also do not know how to express myself well, and I always end up writing ideas that are deviating from my original ideas.

Since I’ve attended EG1471 courses, I have realized my mistakes and I’ve tried to let myself to be more organized while writing an essay. First, to prevent me from lacking ideas to write an essay, I will go library and online to do some researches on the topic I should write about, and then I will jot down the important ideas whenever I found it relevant. Next step, to organize my ideas, I will categorize them into few sections, and each section will have almost same amount for ideas if possible. Then, I will draft an outline how am I going to present my ideas, with thesis statement, the body of the essay and conclusion. To express my ideas well, I will make sure myself to understand the topic well first before writing my essay and I will also improve my vocabulary so that I can express the idea in the most accurate way.
I will continue to improve myself by reading up many different reading materials, analyzing their writing style and developing my own style, and also by reading, I can improve my knowledge level
