Blog Entry 4 : Reflection

Before the beginning of this semester, I was very worry about this ENG 102 class. The reason for me to worry is because English is not my native language. I feel not confident and comfortable when I write English essay or read English poem. Besides, I had some bad experience when I took ENG 101 last spring. During the first day of this class, I can really feel the stress of writing essays come back to me again. Nevertheless, the use of blogger to teach in class make me feel more comfortable. Even thought the first day I was very confuse about what to do with the blog, now I start to be more get used of it. I like posting my essay on my blog. This is because I can let more people to read and giving me feedback. I have other blog which is in Chinese language and I like to see my friends leave a comments to me so that I can improve my writing skills as well. Besides, I can also read other people's blogs and leave a comment to them. By the way, I think this not only can improve our reading and writing, but can also enhance the interaction between classmates who not really have chance to talk in class. The other thing that I like about this class is we don't have to buy an expensive textbook. The only thing to buy is just the small book. We can save a lot from that.

Through this "Supernatural" class, I think that this class will not be bored like usual English class. This is because the theme of the class is so attractive for most of us to feel free to search about some mysterious things such as vampire, mythology, folklore, ghost, fairies etc. Usually this kind of topic will not be taught in class. We can relate this class to some TV show or novel that we like a lot. The use of access of internet in computer lab also made the works easier for me to do research. Usually I will use Yahoo, Wikipedia and Google to do my research. Until recently, my cousin told me to use Mamma.com and Yahoo Answer to do my research as well. I found those websites are really useful for me.
