Introduction& my goal

       Before writing my goal for this semester, I would like to introduce myself simply. My name is Kwon Haram. I've been to the states and lived there for two years, each year in Boston, Massachusetts and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I love playing sports and even participated school track&field team in US as a sprinter. When I get into something, I concentrates on it for long time, which could be my strength, but also weakness.
       First of all, in this semester in Mr. Garrioch's writing class, I want to improve my writing skills. In order to improve my writing skills, I believe that I should know my weakness in writing. My weakness in writing is grammar and organizing my thoughts. In order to improve these skills, I should not only focus on class, but also try hard outside of class, too. To be specific, I believe that I can improve myself in organizing my thoughts by publishing a lot of free writing in my blog in order to make myself used to writing an essay. However, I don't have clear solution about my grammar problem, but I've been working on my grammar by studying a grammar book during vacation and I'm planning to continue my work on grammar.

  1. Nice intro. Your grammar is actually very solid, and I'm happy to see that. I won't need to butcher your writing too extensively with a red pen. The best way to improve as a writer is to read and read, and then write. Writing on a blog will allow you to free up your flow and not think too hard. If you write about things you are interested in, knowing someone will actually probably read it, you will likely feel more motivated. I enjoy reading reviews of films and music etc. on student blogs, as well as opinion about news or whatever the hot issues of the day are.
