6. entences (you can use just once each FANBOY)
I think that my writing skills were around the 7 points over the semester, because at
the beginning i liked to write but I had very obvious grammar mistakes that can be
noticed in the homework.
I thought that i knew how to, however all the semester I managed to learn different
ways to write down the ideas in a more flexible manner.
It´s not by being repetitive as you can manage to connect ideas without feeling
redundant.
I can manage to understand the topic yet I don't feel confident at the moment I put
my ideas on paper.
For me to learn how to figure out the ways to make an easy understandable text in
order to improve my writing skills.
I should have considered my classmate's understanding because of my grammar
skills.
To show my ideas in a way that everyone can understand, however some times I
couldn´t do it.
At the end I think that I manage to achieve a 9, I can put my thoughts in paper or
express them well while not loosing the idea.
I think it has a lot of impact in the future, since my career is all in English, so to make
a good profile of it I need this fluency in the writing.
A way to express what I think without loosing the main idea or wandering between
words also my speaking have improved.
