After finishing my first semester of English, I can say that I have improved immensely as a writer. Coming into the class, I was not very confident in my abilities as a writer. I did not think my word choice was above average, I thought my sentence structure was something that could be qualified as trash, and I felt like I could not address my audience in any way. However, after this first semester, I feel that everything has changed. Through evaluating my own work this semester, I have been…

If we think about this example, would you rather use back in sec., in business conversation, or I will be back in short period of the time? I think the answer is obvious, because business conversation should be based on professionally selected words. This kind of cliché is also a lie, because in all cases, it’s impossible to be back from anywhere in just one second. I…

In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz” written by Theodore Roethke, the speaker’s experience seems to be a positive one based on the…
