Writing and Speaking Moment I had done my thesis defense in English literature. It was definitely an unpredictable situation, I thought. So, I asked some my friends, who had early finished their final thesis defense, about what questions had been asked by examiners to them. Unfortunately, when my final defense came, I got some new questions and I suddenly thought that would be the worst thesis defense ever. I could simply write a sentence to show what my intention is by using standard pattern like subject, verb, and object, but in fact, I have difficulty to speak in delivering what my intention was. I thought that 'oh my God, it is not me', and it was obviously complicated situation to speak about my writing, about my sentences. I thought I could be failed and had to reschedule my thesis defense again. Then, I could only have thought what examiners thinking about me. Therefore, I realized that someone might had similar situation, especially for me as non-native English speaker, to deliver what his/her intention was when speaking. Is this writing can be comprehended either by native or non-native English speakers? Hopefully.
