Please feel free to include reflections on both spring and fall semester work, as well as on the content of this portfolio (proto-portfolios, showcases, and reflections).

• This writing class is very good opportunity to write anything in English during class, but it's hard for me sometime but I'm enjoying to write something in English.
  
• I talked to class teacher about our Essays and writing class's style of recent. Then he checked my essay, so I was really happy about that, but I wanted him to check my blog more and more, and also strict advice for me... because it would be good for me for sure.
  
• I enjoyed very much in writing class this year, it was so much fun for me! but actually, I wanted to try write something on paper using by pencil. Of course we need to use computer, because we can learn a lot of things with computer, but I wanted to write something in English sometimes.
  

6.0. Advice and suggestions for yourself, your peers, and your successors

• It's good to write about yourself, like daily life, interested in something.
  
• Don't think about your blog and this writing class so hard and difficult.
  
• It's very good way to show every body what you are thinking and your opinion. Also when you write something in English, you'd better try to make it easier to read.
