Mike Rose’s Piece

“Grab your audience” makes me harder to start to write an essay all the time. Even I have some reasonable ideas for body paragraphs. I could not begin the essay because I did no fill up the introduction. In my head, I had a lot of ideas, but it was hard to make a good hook. Another rule is perfect grammar and not repeating the same words. Those things make me just focus on details things rather than the context

Functional rules block some people to write freely because they are few. People easily experience conflicts from writing because the all the rules do not fit in all situations. The difference is the non-blockers focus on the picture. It means non-blockers follow and try to reach their goals. They also change and improve their plan via feedbacks. All the process is based on their initial goal whereas the blocker put the attention in details things more.

Ruth is most like me because I put the most of the time for writing a hook in an introduction. Some rules disrupt my process of writing as well. Even though I know myself, it is hard for me avoiding those rules depend on the situation. I also need a bunch of times to start an essay.

GUM Post01

Grammar in context believes student’s own experiences such as daily lives, speaking, and writing help to improve grammar study. It gives students to lead their grammar study. However, traditional school grammar is based on the worksheet of error-correction exercise. It states students learn from the errors.

I have been thought grammar as something that changes because words and speaking have been changed throughout history. I believe all the rules are designed for enhancing our literacy. It helps for better understanding words and showing your words.

Yeonseon’s goals

My goal for college is to figure out a field or work what I really love and want to do. Another one is to graduate with a high GPA because it makes me go in to an ideal firm easier. I also get diverse experiences while in college. 

My goals for after college are to travel all around the world and go to the dream company. I also desire to be a better person.

I see writing fitting into both because I have to be good at expressing my words clearly for getting a good grade. Notably, in the business field, writing is the main tool for delivering and representing my thought effectively. Besides, writing makes my ideas be well organized. 

I choose this picture because it shows me now. I have decided many choices and still have to determine what I will do for making progress toward my goals. I’m still figuring out myself.
