Course reflection: Summary of the year

I can’t believe that there is only two weeks left for the whole year. In English class, I have read six books, finished several projects and passed plenty of tests and quizzes. Time passed a lot faster than what I thought before. Looking back to the start of this year, I thought it was impossible for me, a lazy girl, to finish so many tasks. However, I did everything all right dramatically. I have improved so much and learned so much in the English class. The whole year’s work not just told me how to get a better grade, but also taught me how to be a better student.

Looking through the year, I have improved a lot on my reading speed, just like I have improved my writing efficiency in writing class. Well, the progress was so hard than what people imagine. I remembered there was one night, when I was reading “Pobby and Dingan”, and I found that the homework for one night was reading half of the book. It was so thrilling that it seemed even more thrilling than all the horror movies I have seen. All right, I didn’t see a lot of horror movies. As a result, I have finished the book in one week. As a non-native English speaker and reader, it was the first time I read that fast in my whole life. So, I think it would train my reading skills, and make me fix better in the following studying for IB class.

Otherwise, I still saw lots of things I need to continue working on, such as my grammar. Even though I always talked about grammar in all the blog posts about “goals” or “summaries” and some of them have already been fixed, it was a big deal. From my language, everyone can see that how important role that grammar problems were taking in my weakness ranking. For the goal for the summer or for next year, and as the goal I have had for thousands of times, I would continuously work on the grammar problems. Although It seemed to be so hard, and I really wouldn’t fix them perfectly, I would try my best.

After talking about my improvement and goals for later, the works I did this year were fun. Even though Frozen in Time was the most unintelligible book I have ever read in my life (Wow I have done so many things for the first time in my life), the other ones seemed fantastic. The one I liked the most and remembered the clearest was “We were liars”. The reason I can remember it the clearest was it was the most recently book I have read. And the reason I liked it the most was the book was so beautiful. The whole book was written in a beautiful mode, with an unreliable narrator and a broken beautiful family. I liked the way the story tells and the unexpected plot. I would also recommend the book to others.

Admittedly, the year finally ended successfully. Over the summer, I would like to choose some science fiction books or fantasies to read, since they attracted me so much. Besides hoping to have an excellent grade in the final example, also hoping me to have a fulfilled summer.
