Have you ever set small goals like “ Tomorrow I will start exercise”? Once you have accomplished your goals, you will notice that: "Hey, I can do this." Then you will experience happiness, confidence, and self-esteem due to the fact that you are able to achieve the goals that you have intended to achieve it. For me, self-esteem is like the fuel which is used for self-control to achieve my future goals.
Setting goals helps me understand Where I want to go? What I want to be? and What I want to accomplish? Then I will be able to plan in order to achieve that goal appropriately. For now, my goals are to be able to write a good essay and an article within 50 minutes and improve my vocabulary, grammar and timing before the end of this semester.
There are many ways that I can do to achieve these goals. First of all, to be successful, I should be diligent and hardworking. For example, try to read Novels, Newspaper, Blogs or Textbook in English in my everyday life as much as possible, this way can help me learn new vocabulary along with how to use it correctly in the sentence. Most Importantly, do a lot of practice such as write at least 2 essays per week or write a diary for 5 minutes per day to make an improvement of timing, coherence, and cohesion.
Nevertheless, we should begin to set our goals because if we haven't started yet or we have dim targets. Our accomplishment will also be blurred.
What are the criteria of a "good" essay? Why did you select 50 minutes? Sometimes goals need to be reevaluated and that is okay too. I look forward to seeing how you progress throughout the semester with your writing Tan.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the criteria of a "good" essay are being able to write a well-structured essay which includes a good main point, an example that support my writing and a clear conclusion. The reason that I chose 50 minutes is that every time I wrote an essay, it usually took about an hour or more to complete it and I don't want to struggle with my work for too long and I think 50 minutes is a perfect time that I should spend on writing a 250 words essay.
