specific topic:evolution of rock musicG

ENGLISH experience

Last Tuesday, November 24, we first met our teacher. I was kinda expecting a taller woman but who cares about sizes, she still has the air of authority. She introduced herself and then explained about our BLOGGING ASSIGNMENT (guess what, this is it) that would last until the end of this semester. Boosham--it would be a long blogging semester. She also imposed the "should-speak-in-English-on-the-classroom" policy and I find it funny because after a few minutes I heard my classmates starting talking back in vernacular. IF I tell my teacher who they were, they will definitely KILL me ha ha. Maybe next time, if I caught them again or something. 'til here and over.

Writing in English:What I Feel About It

Writing in English caused as much anxiety as speaking it. The anxiety or fear of having misspelled words or grammatically wrong phrases and sentences. I have been writing in English since 1st grade and I always feel anxious on my grammar that I have second thoughts on sharing it to other people. Though sometimes I have no choice but to let them read what i had written. That's the essence of writing, we write so that we'll be read. My teachers always tell me that I need constant practice in writing so that I can gain confidence. Well, I did practice a lot. I wrote paragraphs, poems and short stories but my issues of lack of confidence suppressed what I have been practicing. In time though, I could gain the confidence. But I stay anxious to what I write, I mean, who won't?


Aside from anxiousness, I feel thrilled when I write.
