The Friday Class by Yangee

The great motivation was given in the humid class. There was no sound except for great challenge and the sound of dropping rain. What made me only write on one way? Knowledge and motivation for the challenge was given. Only choice is left. Everything is up to me. ‘Remain or Overcome?’ The last Friday’s class casted this question to me. Now, I come to the fork of a road. It is time for me, who  is standing a point, to restructure my thought.

Review

When I entered the classroom, I saw many books on the table. I thought "what do I have to do?" after looking at the books. After listening to the explanation, about that books, I realized the Academic Writing style can be written differently from my original style. This class was a good chance to change my thinking.

Professor asked Mitsumi to say “Shameless” emotionally in Japanese. Mitsumi said “Hazisarasi!” That means “bring shame on you”. I laughed because classmates laughed. But, actually I didn’t know the mean of “Shameless”, too.

Review

   This class was good chance to think about academic writing. As usual I thought like academic writing should follow some rule like APA style and including introduction and conclusion. However when Professor Stan showed the book, I changed my thinking after reading a book which is without some rules. By that, I think academic writing do not have to follow some certain rules. But still I wonder that is it possible to write whole paper like what professor showed to me. 

Review

Today’s academic English class was held at Peace Museum. The atmosphere of the class was a bit different from usual, because some of the students were asked to read books with their own voices and emotions. When they started speaking, all the students listened to them carefully. One sounded passionate and another sounded calm.  I felt at that time, as each voice has a different and good style, I can develop my own style which is very different from what most professors tell us to write.
