 Introductory Self-Assessment

As an introduction, I am Cecheng Cao and I come from China. Fortunately, I was born in a family with higher education. My parents led me to read books when I was young. At that time, I didn’t even know how to read because of the limited recognition of vocabulary. My mother read some books for me, such as Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, Around the Earth in Eighty Days… These novels made me fall in love with reading kinds of literature until now. I especially like novels, which gives me a unique preference for narrative writing. When I write narratives, I feel that I am a writer, weaving my story with writing skills and ideas.

I did research on narrative and literary appreciation in writing 39B. As for the method of research, I usually search for the information I need with Google, then summarize and add my own thoughts. In some areas where I have experience, I prefer to review previous knowledge and think about ideas, then search on Google for verification and more in-depth information. I think in the writing 39B, what helped me the most was the ability to collect and summarize information by myself. It also increased my confidence in writing. I was very afraid of writing before, because I never found a writing article that I was good at. In the study of narratives, I found that the books I read helped me write. That was the first time I enjoyed the process of writing. It is very interesting to express my thoughts through words. Now I have more confidence in writing and research.

In writing 39C, I hope to be exposed to more writing skills. My goal for myself is to get an A rating in this course. At the same time, I also hope that after this semester, my writing level can better face future study and research. However, I am still a little worried about this class because I am not familiar with the writing project I will face, and I am worried that I will not get the grade I want. I hope the professor can add more detailed guidance to the assignments and projects. By the way, I think I still have a lot of room for improvement in terms of sentences. I hope that through accumulation, I can gradually master the choice of words and sentence structure in writing.
