Writing

When I see a blank page, I start to get nervous. I don’t know what to write or how to start writing. Whenever I sit down to write something I get lost most of the time. I always end up writing incomplete and it effects my grade. I think about three to four days before I start to write, but whenever I see a blank page my mind goes blank. Instead of writing I watch movies and go to shopping. That’s why I always turn in my assignments late. When I write, I always make complicated and it becomes…

When I first started this course, I did not know much of the requirement and expectations of Writing 39C. I have gotten preludes from my previous writing courses: Academic English 20B-C and Writing 39A-B, that Writing 39C is a course on research writing and that it consists two main components.

Like most people in high school I was given complements on my work, and some specific parts of my paper to work on by my high school instructors.
