Writing requirement There are two writing courses required for first-year students who are diagnosed as having relatively poor writing skills. Because I am one of them, I have to start one of the writing classes in the coming semester. However, that means I have to enroll in this summer to take the other course to match the university's requirement. In my university, the tuition rate of one credit hour in summer term is about 30 times higher than that in my country. To be practical, using the same amount of money that I should pay for a summer term studying, I could hire an excellent teacher to improve every aspect of my English skills for a year in my hometown. This fact makes me feel really bad for my parents who give me all of the financial support I need to study abroad. Why can't I do a better job? How can I do a better job? I wrote a practice essay and asked my friend to give me some advice today, and she said there were several logic problems, limited vocabulary, and unclear expressions in it. It was really frustrating. Now, the new semester is going to start on the day after tomorrow, I am getting more and more nervous to face a new beginning...
