Honestly, my writing skill is poor even in my native language. Ever since I was a high school student, I have denied studying any literature or writing. The first reason was, it wasn’t just interesting and I prefer science to Korean or literature. Thus, I think this inclination for refusing literature and studying only science has influenced on my second language writing. How can I argue or write something that I can’t even discuss in my language. I guess my spoken English is better than written English.

In terms of summarizing, I didn’t have any difficulties except that I have to spend time on reading some articles that were struggling since I am working a lot of things this quarter. I don’t think I put my best on this course. I didn’t even do proof-reading. What I need to improve now is trying to make an effort instead of thinking of grammar. Of course it doesn’t mean that I don’t make grammatical mistakes. The best ways for me to improve my grammar and editing is following. First, spare time for writing. Second, proof read my work. Last try to remember what I know.

I am not satisfied with my digital story script now. I could have revised this but I couldn’t . But I tried to make flow while I was writing this and since my drastic experience, I was able to write down whole story in few minutes. I used a change of mood for my story; at the beginning of my digital story, I wrote background, how I started studying, what made me in a trouble and so on. Then I described things what I did in order to overcome this difficulty. Somebody in our class recommended me to write more detail about my overcoming story, but I just decided to skip it because that doesn’t mean special to me. What I mean is that everyone puts effort on their things that important to them. My endeavor is not special. The result is special to me. Thus I think the script what I have so far is enough.
