writing course as a shy person the shyness kept me back from people and avoid mixing with them as much as possible. I always prefer isolation from others. when I meet new people or even when the teacher asked me to read in class, my hert start beating and I start stuttering. shyness prevent me to interacting as required with my classmates. I was always worried about writing because I don't have enough words. This problem effected on me but but writing help me to overcome some of this problem. Writing helps as shy person to express about what I can not speak or saying. Writing gave me the opportunity to discuss with others about my writing. It gave me more confidence to read and say my opinion. Also helped me to show my ability and my skills in certain types of writing such as Example. It's changed me in speaking and makes me share my opinion with teacher and class. The most thing I think it is very benefited me is feedback because its showed my mistakes and correct them. After I study it I think its easy because its all about my feelings and opinion. My skills improve too much especially in grammar and punctuation and I learned how I write a good thesis statement and how I supported my ideas. When I write some thing the ideas come therom and take short time comparing with time I was spent it in writing in the past. Before I take writing course I don't know about some words should not write it in essay such as : everyone! and I learned if should I write my opinion or not. I learned how I can showed distinctive aspects of my personality wich the shyness hide them. I think my writing today much better and I feel more confidence in my writing more than before. I learned a lot from this course, types of writing and strategies. Finally I hope to learned more and more about academic writing. Sent from my iPhone
