My reflection on the writing class this semester

This semester writing classes were interesting, because we had an opportunity to correct other students‘ essays. I liked it, because I could feel like a real teacher and watch what mistakes are usually the most common. Also we could express our views abut various things.

Despite of this, I faced some difficulties while writing reviews,essays, even if I had a whole week to do that. Sometimes I did not write anything at all, or my essays were wrong. Moreover, it is not lecturer‘s fault, because she has other lessons, but writing lectures began quite late, so it was difficult to concentrate on the things we had to accomplish.

Still, in general, I think that our writing lectures were good, and I would like to write essays on things,  about  which I had somthing to say, because in the last essay about euthanasia I had alomst nothing to say, just its advantages and disadvantages, because I had never confronted with it.

Did my expectations which I had at the beginning of my studies at this university come true?

At the beginning of my studies I was a little bit scared. Everything was new to me: new environment, new teachers, new friends. Earlier I was thinking about my future and was expecting kind group friends and lecturers, and my expectations came true. My new friends are very helpful, I can talk about anything with each of them. Of course, studying English here is not very easy and sometimes we have to study a lot, but it is natural, I knew where I was going, so I think I will manage somehow. Also there are cases when there come some misunderstandings, but in spite of them I am happy about my studies.
