Now, I am doing my final homework for this semester. Homework is the main thing that crosses my mind when I think of this course. From the first semester in university I have taken the courses related to English speaking a composition. Actually, it was little help to improve my practical English to study poetry, novels, and drama. It needs deep understanding and analysis to study "literature." But, even reading the English text is difficult for me. I am interested in practical English that I can use for my career after graduation. So, this kind of class is very helpful to me. During this semester we concentrated on English composition in the class, and the homework was a bit hard for me. But the compositions and conversations in class helped to improve my English continuously. Composition is rarely dealt with even in English institutes. So this course gave me a good chance to practice and improve English composition.
        I submitted 2-3 page essays several times, and Dr. Tyson returned the papers with many comments. Well, reading the returned paper, my first feeling was not good. I got disappointed at my poor ability because there were many mistakes that the professor had pointed out in my composition usually. But after I corrected the mistakes and supplied some articles, the essays became more smooth to read. So, my second feeling was better than the first one. I had taken another course related to English composition when I was a freshman. At that time, on returned papers there were no professor's comments but only grades. I did not read my essays again, but I just checked my grade. So, I didn't know what was wrong in my compositions, and I didn't make an effort to correct my work. But this time, I could make my works better through the professor's comments and my endeavor to improve. But I regret my idleness. Though I should have done my best, I didn't. It is true that composition is a troublesome job, but I want to write English essays well. In fact, I thought I wouldn't register for English composition next semester, but my thinking changed at the end of the class. So, I registered for English composition again for next semester. Anyway, I feel a lump in my throat because I became familiar with English composition. Now, an English essay is not a special thing but something that I can write down naturally. "Intimacy" with English is the most valuable thing that I got in this course.
