Dear Ms. Newman:                        

       Thanks for teaching us writing as a writer. Throughout two months study, I learned many things. The most important knowledge that I learn is how to write ELA essay. ELA essay is a kind of essential skill in college. Other knowledge that I learned includes how to write an outlines, how to read an article and so on.

During these two months, we finished the two ELA essays. I realize I am good at organize the essay and find the quotation to support. In the other hand, I also need to explain more quotation to support my argument. The biggest problem that I have is poor grammar; I cannot express my opinion clearly. In order to deal with my poor grammar, I joined the workshop in writing center to help me improve my grammar skill.

As a student, I try my best to participate the group work, but I know I did not do well enough in the group work. After class, I almost finish all homework on time. Expect this homework, because the hurricane “Sandy” came, and there was not electricity and signal. As regards papers, I think they are not too bad; I try my best to work on it. According to this information, I will give myself a final grade as B+.

Once again I want to thank you for teaching me what I learned.

 

Sincerely

 

Bin Lin
