My English Reflection Blog

By doing this assessment I, Anthony Aliwarga, have learnt that nowadays technology has become an essential part of human life. I have also learnt that the world currently revolves around technology and considers it to be a great source of help that have a major impact how people do their daily activities.
According to several sites, BlackBerry is one of those hi-tech handheld devices that are capable of changing the communication habits of its users. As evidence, it can be seen that most teenagers at present are more comfortable with typing than oral speaking. This trend is then supported even more by the presence of BlackBerry Messenger which allows its users to be constantly connected to any chat log started by anyone in the contact list. However BlackBerry may have some negative impacts such as causing cancer and by being another technological distraction. By doing the compare and contrast essay, I know now that even if BlackBerry Storm and iPhone 3G have their differences but they are still the same in one way or another.
I have also learnt a lot in terms of academic writing. During this whole process, I have experienced writing different types of essays. I have also found out some new things that I did not know before such as how to write a partial essay. This task also enlightens me to a whole new concept of writing. Now I know a wider range of text types and know how to make one too. The teachers have also given me some inputs on which parts should I focus on more so that I can correct my mistakes.
Even if in certain occasions I have failed to create my best work but there is always a room for improvements. Recently I found out that I should practice more in writing according to the topic sentence of a paragraph. I also need to read more in order to generate more sophisticated vocabularies. The most important lesson that I have learnt is that I should start doing the assignments earlier instead of starting at the last minute.
I personally believe that I can do much better and be more attentive in the near future. Thank you Ms. Laura and Ms. Carla for letting me learn these important lessons.
