CHALLENGES DURING THE SEMESTER


Our challenges during the semester were:

Understand all the topics that we were going to develop because they were new for us. Another challenge that we face in this semester was to put in practice all the things that we had learnt in class. For example, in each journal that we wrote, we had to apply the composition rules that we had seen in class. 
We consider that the most difficult part of this subject was to indentify the different kind of mistakes that we do when we are writing a paragraph or a sentence.  Another challenge was that we had to record a video about a determined topic, it may soud easy but we are not accostumed to be in front of a camera, so it took us a while to try to record that video. As a conclusion we could say that this subject is not too difficult but we have to pay attention in class and try to do all the practices in order to have a good grade and pass this subject.

WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUT THIS VIDEO



In this video we learned important information about sentence length and structure. We learned what a sentence length is. We learned that a sentence structure refers to the physical nature of a sentence and how the elements of that sentence are presented and Sentence length refers to the number of words in a sentence.
We learned how to fix this kind of sentence. Also we learned that if you find that your sentence begins with one subject-verb-object, and finishes with another subject-verb-object, you should probably divide it into two sentences.

JOURNALS



Brian´s Journals:

I have written many assessments in life; however, writing the journals were such a nice experience. The assigned us some topics which were very interesting to write about, and the first topic I had to write about was: How was my first English Composition 1 class. Although I knew how was my first experience, I felt very nervous because I did not know if
I had done it as it was supposed that it had to be. When  the teacher gave our journals back, I noticed that I had been making some terrible mistakes, but it was time to change them.
I improved my writing in the following journals, and I felt very happy because of that. However, I knew that I had to imporve more and continue searching for important information to get more knowledge about Composition rules. 



Christian´s Journals :



When I wrote this journal, I felt so excited because I like to talk about Technology. In this journal, I wrote about how the influence of technology is. Also, I wanted to express the use, the influence, and the importance of Technology. I know that Students use Technology in order to look a topic, a meaning, or information. Because of that, Techonology is such as an important tool nowadays.









 When I wrote this journal, I got confuse because I did not know what I shoud write. I had to ask some friends about the topic of the journal in order to get more ideas. When they explained it to me, I knew exactly what to write. This journal is very nice because I explained how Spanish grammar affect the English Language Acquisition. Also, I wrote about the mistakes that non-native speakers make while they are speaking or writing. It was interesting to write about this journal.









In this journal, I wrote about my second exam´s experience. When I wrote about this journal, I was happy because I had already known what was my grade. I got a 7.5 in the second exam. I explained how I felt in the exam, and what I did in order to be prepare before to do the exam. I felt so nice while I was writing the journal. And it has been one of the most important journals that I wrote.




Marvin´s Journals:



This was my first time that I wrote a journal. At the beginning I didn’t know what a journal is or how to write it. This was a good experience because we learn many rules that we didn’t  know before. Whe I wrote about  how people can learn English was so easy because it´s something that we are doing right now. I didn’t take me too much time in thinking what I was going to write it was easy to explain. The journal about our first English composition class was easy to write too. We wrote about how was our first English composition class and for me was easy because we learned new things from the first day. The last one that is about the second test we had was kind of difficult but easy at the same time. I didn’t like to write this journal because I knew that I was failed in this test. I got confuse in some parts but at the end I got a good grade in this journal.
