Importance of writing essays(SUNGJOON HONG)

I think writing is one of the important parts of learning English as an international student. Writing is another way to express how I think something that. Especially, for me, writing is more important than others. Frankly, I cannot express my own opinion and thinking very well. In other words, writing is another way to express my opinion instead of speaking. However, most people don’t like writing essays.

English including both of writing and speaking is difficult for me. I didn’t think writing is difficult for me in my country. However, my low English skill interrupt what I thought and I want to represent. Consequently, writing is very difficult for me. When I took ESL program, I wrote diary in English. That’s my whole writing but now, I don’t do that because it takes long time for me to write diary in order to write something I need to finding suitable vocabulary, expression, grammar and so on. So since I’ve started last spring semester, I could not assign the time to write essay. I think my major problems are expression. I don’t know what expression is correct in English. In addition, I cannot often understand some idioms. I cannot understand it exactly.

When I finished ESL program, I took ENG 1F class. First I confront with essay, I felt very nervous because I had to write ENG 1F essay which require more pages than ESL essays. It is too difficult for me. This semester, I take ENG 2F class. It is also not easy for me. Especially, research paper is very difficult for me. This paper requires seven or ten pages. I think research paper is the most difficult assignment out of other assignments in this semester.

In conclusion, in my case, first time, when I wrote essay, I felt very nervous and irritate. However, I took ENG 1F class and ENG 2F class almost over. Owing to ENG 1F and 2F class, I feel better than past and improve writing skills. I appreciate to professor. However, my wiring skills are still insufficient. I am going to study writing essays more and more.
