What's "Writing?" For me writing is one of the tools that I express my opinions to others, and also I can have the opportunity to know what I'm thinking at that time. So far I've done a lot of activities about writing at school either in Japanese or in English. The most memorable experience that affected me a lot is the one that I had in an English canversation class when I was a high school student. In the class the teacher demanded that we all the students express our own opinions in English, and tell others about them both in speaking and in writing, and this experience made my outlook on writing. Thanks to the class, now I like to express my opinions in writing, however, I don't think that I could exactly express what I want to say, so this year I'm going to take an essay writing class in English at college. In the essay class I'd like to try to achieve the following goals below in order to enhance my writing skills that would make my opinions understood by others more easily. ・learn the effective and suitable way to organize my whole essay. ・increase my vocabulary (get a large vocabulary) to express my feelings or thoughts more deeply (in detail). ・make sentences that are grammatically correct (especially the article like "a" and "the", the singular or plural countable and uncountable nouns, and the preposition that follows the verb or the adjective).
