my goal


Writing is a difficult subject to me. My TOEFL writing score is the lowest compared to other sections. The biggest reason is that I do not have any chances to convey my ideas with letters except English class. Furthermore, writing is not really my interest and I have some bad memories. Memories of writing class of first semester is horrible since my essay editting job was done always at midnight, pressed for time, nervous. I do not want a repertoire of the first semester. As I know my deficiency, I could improve a lot. It would be a difficult process but once I overcome my deficiency, the subject will be much easier and interesting.

The primary thing teachers commented about my essay was that I should develop more. I could not understand about "developing". I used quite good examples and made some points about the topic. However, in KMLA, by reading some famous stories and well-organized essays, I could realize my deficiency. My sentences had some ideas, but it only ended to an idea. My essays were choppy, it was a list of ideas that didn't link together. Also, the ideas weren't specific, neither the examples. I used broad sentences that conveys diverse meanings which hindered the fluency of the essay. These are all the things I want to eliminate by taking composition class.

introduction


Hi! My name is Soo young Choi. You can call me Isabel:)
Actually, it's my Spanish name. The second semester of KMLA makes me exciting and somewhat anxious. The past two days of new semester was exhausting because life in KMLA means little sleep. I think I just need some time to adapt to new daily schedules.

 I enjoy watching any kind of movies. I especially like sensational ones such as action or thriller. The most recent movie I watched is the "Dark Knight Rises". Watching movies is a essential because it is the best way I can realease my stress. T.T It is really stressful being a highschool student in Korea and watching movies help me find my innerpeace. (HAHA)

I am in the field of natural science. I am especially interested in biology and chemistry. Biochemistry catches my interest recently. I want to study in depth about biochemistry and conduct researches about developing a new drug or material. Even though jobs related to this field is regarded difficult, it is meaningful. I want to develop something that would benefit other people.

From this semester, I wish I could get better grades from overall subjects. I especially want to enhance my writing skills and read books of diverse fields.
Well, this is a really short "introduction" and I hope that I could get good results from a good start!
