My this journey will never stop...

 I had a lots of challenging with my english assignments as previous assignments. This sense of challenging reminds me my fears in my life. I sometimes prefer to run away from this fears, I sometimes prefer to face to my fears. When I face to it, my fear can disappear. This week was one of a busy week due to assigments. I have learnt new words, I did a lot of research, I read. The words of this week were particulary 'Refutation', 'Counterpoint', 'Naysayer'. Although it was difficult to grasp the subject, my job was made a little easier thanks to my awesome teacher. I re-examined subjects and took notes. While trying to complete the assigments, I often felt the need to look back at these notes, the notes I took was helping me.   Today is Sunday, the last day of the week, and the minutes I finished my last homework. Even though I knew I couldn't complete every assignment perfectly, I somehow tried to complete each one. 

time...

Sometimes I feel lost in 'time'. The loss of this sense of time makes me unhappy, it makes me unable to enjoy the 'moment'. I've had this feeling a lot for the past few months. I wish I had the ability to stop time in moments like these that I could use on a rare occasion. So, if that frozen moment just keeps running again whenever I want. When the moment stops, if I breathe as I want, without thinking about anything, if I just stop, even if time will flow, but I would not notice...

Every Thing Starts Up With a 'Purpose' and Audience' In A Writing...

       I can only plan the system of this class I have taken such as reading, watching given assignments. However, I just don't have enough time to fully focus and work on the assignments. This makes me panic and stress every week.      This week's the reading, Jones' video, and my teacher Johny's contents and illustrations were wonderfully and simply organized. Just the length of the letter scared me incredibly, but time flew by while I was reading it. Working only on words I didn't know was really overwhelming because I only had to work on words for 5 hours. In the end, I did not regret it at all, on the contrary, it was a very useful work for me.      Dr. King's repetition of the same words in the letter was very helpful for me to understand the subject and reinforce the words; Like 'direct action, self purification, minorty, majority, segregation, oppresed'.      I think that the class contents of the past week are use...

Tough and Efficient Week

This week's reading was a good opportunity to get a better grasp of the strategies. Although I felt that I didn't work on the last day of the week enough, I spent more time working on this assigment compared to other weeks. Reinforcing the subject with Malcom X's article was a separate challenge and pleasure for me. There was too much information for. this week, terms for me as metacognitive funnel, checking comprehension, Malcom X system, 'how to read' 'part, have to pay attention' part, annotations and etc. Although I feel a little lost, I think it has been a productive week in terms of what the class has given me. I think I will see the effects of this on my work in a few weeks.

tough week

Despite everything, it makes me smile to find myself sitting at the keyboard and typing a few sentences on the last day of the week. This week has been a tough week for me. I got a cold so I had to change the schedule all week. I didn't pay enough attention to my studies, so I don't feel well. However, I also feel happy because I haven't been this far from classes in a long time :) I think it's a little good for me. Still, the feeling of being stuck between two emotions doesn't feel good. I have to admit that this week when I was in a bad mood, it was hard for me to try to understand George Orwell's article on Politics and the English Language. However, every time I read and especially watched the supportive videos of my teacher Jonny, everything became a little clearer.

A Short Comment

I have encountered the notion of rough draft that is the one most important part for writing. And I noticed that this is my realy one of concerns. Particularly; Anne Lamott; with Shitty First Draft made me feel good. I feel slightly comfortable compared before, When I write about somethig. In this regard, I believe that my writings will be better over time. In addition to this, the making of revision is another significant for the writing process. it also has an educational side for the writer in terms of writing. However, before we start writing, you should not waste time on revisions, especially micro revisions.

Hello        This is the first blog post I've ever written in my life. First of all, I would like to thank Jonny Professor for creating this opportunity.        I made the decision to take this class very hard because of my fears. I think that writing is an important and serious job, especially for someone like me who is trying to learn the English language....       I would like to list the things I want to learn from this course as follows.   * I think that the development of my writing skills will positively affect the development of my other English skills; as speaking, comprehension, listening, reading, this is some of the reasons. * I want to feel comfortable while writing, I want to express myself fluently. * I want the person reading the text I wrote to read my text without getting bored. * I want to write correctly as text structure. * This is really important; I do the proofreading of the texts I write using tran...
