Hi, my name is Daniel and I'm from Korea. When i was in Korea, i had to take a Korean SAT to enter university. In it, there are many article that i must interpret to answer questions, so i practiced a lot to read fast and understand as fast as i could. That's why i think my strength in English is reading. Also, when I read something, I can control everything. For example, i can control the speed of reading, can read the same sentence until i can understand perfectly, and even if i can't understand some words, i can answer questions about the article. I think my favorite genre of reading is novel. When i read novels, i can imagine the scenes of story and this imagination can fill my life with real happiness. For example, when i was in elementary school, i loved 'Harry Potter'. I read the whole series again and again with imagination. From that time, i found pleasure in reading, so i tried to find other novels to read for fun.
But writing is a different problem. If i want to write something, i need to consider

vocabulary, grammar, and try to think clearly about topic or my opinion. That's why i need more practice in writing in the next three months. Writing combines many part of English skills, so it's very hard to write refined article. I believe that if i improve my skills in vocabulary, grammar, and clear thinking, i can write better paragraphs. My favorite kind of writing is to write about myself. It is easy to think about me because i always think about myself and i can just write my life's experience without deep thinking.
In conclusion, I prefer reading than writing because reading brings to me a happiness, but writing always brings me confusing and sadness. I know that i can write better but it is very difficult to find errors and fix them. This is why write bring me sadness. Thank you.
Hi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you love reading so much. I've actually never read any Harry Potter books (or seen any of the movies entirely).
I agree with you about writing; it's difficult in that it's a combination of many skills. It takes a lot of practice, but good thing you'll get a lot of that here :). I look forward to reading more of your writing here!
