Exam

1. I expected to teacher’s corrections for my sentence. I didn’t have confidence about my English sentence. Also, I don’t have enough English grammar ability. So, sometimes I wanted to like to correct my sentences. And this is my wish, I expected to watch movies in this class because, I like to watch movies very much. Also, I wanted to write movie review more in this class.

2. I learned to writing is fun in writing class. First, I have a pressure for A-class. Almost all students in this class have a good writing ability but, I don’t. I didn’t like to write in English before. But, gradually I came to like to write in English. My worry of writhing ability is gone through this class. I can write English without fear to make mistakes.
Therefore, I can have a pleasure for writing English. Also, I learned how to computer in this class. I could not use many applications of computer before but, right now I can use it. It is a really good point for me.[183words]

Essey -learning with computers-

Hello! Do you usually use computers? I bet you will say “Yes”. Computers are very useful and convenience. Therefore, the computers were used as tool of job. Almost all companies use them.
We can do various things on the computer. For example, we can research a lot of informations on the intranet. It is very useful for us because, if you want to research something you can get them quickly. But there are too much informations, so you have to choose good informations.

We have access to computers in my university. We can feed information into a computer anytime. Computers are really useful. The computer is capable of storing millions of pieces of information. Next, we can use a lot of useful applications on the computer. For example, Word typing soft, Excel, power point, Paint, Blog, Skype, face book and so on. I often use them.

Especially, my favorite websites is face book. This website is really interesting. This site can have my page. Also, we can put some pictures and chat with friends all over the world. I have a lot of foreign friends. We can keep touch with each other. And we have to do homework at computer.

One of my homework is Blog. We have to write my blog. I am writing everyday about Diary, movie reviews, essays, book reviews and so on. When I write something, I will use “word”. This useful application is very useful because, my write were corrected. It is really good point on this application.

I learned from the computer a lot of things, but I think we must not too depend on it.
