Writing essays has always
been my weakness. The problems faced can be summarized to two points. The first
is that I do not have sufficient supporting evidence when developing arguments,
which can be attributed to not reading newspapers and articles in my free time.
The second obstacle is that even if I do have some materials at hand, I am not
good at organizing those points and integrating them into the essay to support
an argument.
Luckily, in this module,
we had been given a few articles to evaluate before we embarked on essay writing.
In addition, we were introduced the correct way to cite a source and to
paraphrase it in a way that it can be used as our own points in the essay. These
are just the solutions to the above mentioned problems.
Generally, when one is not
good at certain things, one tends to have a negative feeling about it. By
taking this module, that feeling about essay writing has gradually faded away.
Mindset has also been gradually changed to believe that essay writing is not “mission
impossible”. Besides the attitude change, more practice is also needed. As the
old saying goes, practice makes perfect. As the skills are built up gradually
by putting in consistent effort, some essays can be drafted in my own free time
to familiarize myself more with the techniques taught. Hopefully, the standard
of my essay can be brought to a higher level in the near future.
