It
is hard to decide which ones are my best essays as I often find my short
paragraphs written in the notepads are better than my summated assigned
essays. The good essays, I decide, are
the essays that relate to my daily life.
The topics may be about my schools or my relationships with the other
people on the campus. The first two
essays are not the assignment required for my class, they are the opinions I
wrote in my journal in order to write the class assignment. Interesting enough, I find them are worthy
to be read and reread over and over again because the first drafts come right
from the bottom of heart without the reshaping or re-editing on them. I love my first drafts the best. And the first two essays, one will be
reading, are directly copied from my in-class journal. And the third essay was written in a morning
from 12:30 am to 5:25am. Why I mention
the third essay is done in a particular morning is that I feel the whole paper
is a consistent research paper, unlike what I usually do, chopping the paper
into pieces and knowing not what I am talking about. So, the best research paper I have with me, I think, is the one I
have just finished it, which takes only an-over-night to finish it. In doing the real research papers, the
procedure will be more complicate than what I have done in these days. I simply show you, as you will be grading my
portfolio, that I do have the abilities to write the worthy reading papers.
Three topics in the contents: “Love”, “A Problem from Taking History in
CSUSB”, and “Are the E-mails Trustworthy”.
The first essay “Love” is a describing essay, a description and a
definition of what is love. It’s easy
for a
student to say, I love my teacher
because he is tall and humorous. But if
the professor assigns a student to do a research on a topic that the student
does not want to think about, will the student love the professor still. My definition of love is not just that I
love my professor because he is tall and humorous: but, I do love my professor,
and I mean I do. And the second essay
is the experience I have from taking history classes in two different
universities, from UCR and CSUSB. The
second essay is writing about two images, the image of taking history class in
UCR and the image of taking history class in CSUSB. I bear in my mind how these two images are similar and how these
two images are different from one another.
Such a comparing and contrasting ability, which I have bared in my mind
from writing the first two essays, directly empowers me to write the research
papers. The third essay is a research
paper, entitled, “Are the E-Mails Trustworthy”. I quote a story written by Meghan Daum, and I take out a truth
from studying on the story. And then, I
back up the truth with the sufficient evidences from my research. Not as a professional writer doing a
research paper, I just point out how I can do my research. The paper is not a long one. But, I think, the language is plan, and the
essay is logical and easy to read for any lady who wants to know how much she
can rely on the e-mails for a good relationship with her partner.
My progress, from the class English 306, begins from writing one image,
grows up to writing two images, and it expands to writing a truth by reading a
store. I think, I am doing pretty well
in the class English 306.
