To be honest, I always feel nervous when I have to write an essay. It is hard to get it started. I just do not where to begin. In fact, I could think up lots of ideas, but I found it is hard to write an suitable beginning. So, when I write an essay for assignment I even start with body, after I almost finish the whole body paragraph, then I get back for my beginning. For me, It is easy to start essay. However, I cannot do it in exam or classroom essay. I am afraid to write an essay, probably, it is one of the reason that I do not write so much.
As matter of fact, I feel much more comfortable writing in Chinese, and then Koran. English is last. Because, I only learned to write in Koran till Grade 3. then I was transfer to Chinese language school. After that, Chinese became the major language that I write with. Actually, I can also write in Korean, but I can not use academic word in Koran as many as Chinese and rhetoric. English is my last choice in writing. I never write in English more than 500 words before I came to HUFS. And I did not read many English newspaper and literature or magazines. Thus, I always nervous when I have to write in English.
During my middle school time, I wrote an short poem in Chinese. In that time, I have read a lot of Chinese poems. I did not remember the reason why I wrote it, but I do remember many friend liked my poem. Though, it was my first time and also was my last time (till now), it is a wonderful memory about writing. I also remember I wrote an letter to my once. I was in a boy scouts camp and teacher told us to write a letter to mother. It is very first time to write a letter and it was for my mother. At first, I did not know what to write and how to start. Than, I recall the happy memory with mom. How much is she love me. Suddenly, I was inspired..I expressed my thoughts, my feelings and my love, I found myself could stop writing. My mother told me she was really touched when she read it.
Overall, I greatly empathized with your article. Almost time the beginning is the most difficult thing in writing. So writing the body first seems a nice strategy. And I also get in trouble when I write in English. Just like you. It takes a long time to search for words and expressions, I think the only way to shorten the time is to write many articles. Let's try hard:( You wrote different topics in each paragraph, and I liked that to know your various stories. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFriend, I also experienced that sometimes if I got lots of ideas, it's difficult for me to organize them. Furthermore, it's quite difficult for me to write in appropriate expressions. As you said in your writing, may be we need to read more newspapers and magazines. Let's workhard together! And thank you for staying with me all the time, you are a good brother to me!
