Thanks for ESL 114

At the beginning of this semester, I told to many people, "I don't like writing, though I use my language Chinese." My advistor told me, "Good writing is very important, no matter you are a sociologist or a scientist." Indeed, I know the importance of writing.
Now, at the end of this semester, I want to told many people, "I don't like writing either, but I know how to express my idea clearly in an academic article." That is the reason why I say thanks for ESL 114.
In China, I was always forcing on too many fundamental things of English, such as spell and grammar, which made me feel like studying English is boring. However, in ESL class, I learned how to use this language, especially in writing. In my mind, language is a tool for connect with others. After, taught thesis statement, APA style and presentation in this class, I know how to express my opinion clearly and logically rather than just say a plenty of idea.
Besides, ESL 114 made me esay to adapt to the new life in America. To be honest, ESL is the most relaxed class in the five classes I take this semester. In this class, I didn't need to be nervous to study. Also, in this class, I can study with my friends and make friends with my other classmates.
I like this class.Thanks for ESL 114. Thanks for Joy, especially for your encouragement. Wish you enjoy your PHD in LA!
