Writer’s memo

I chose three different genres, such as a movie, a song and a picture. The first one is about a song. "Mother Nature Needs Us" reminds people of serious environmental contamination. Secondly, I talked about a famous movie named The Forrest Gump. It is one of my favorite movies. It more or less changed my way to look at life and adversity. In this essay, I wrote my opinions about this movie and what can I learn from it. The last one I wrote about a picture which is the symbol of a nonprofit organization.

Before I wrote this assignment, I reviewed what we learned in the classes. I think that writing these three essays is a good way to practice my deep thinking. When I watched or read the texts, I tried to interpret them and wrote something down then organized them. I like the content of my paper because it represents my thoughts and ideas. People can comprehend what I want to say. The approaches which I used to connect the sentences are not normal. This is my weak part of my writing. For example, I unconsciously use the word “and” to connect each sentence. I have a big problem that I do not know how to describe a subject or the feeling in detail because of scarcity of adjective and adverb.

Based on requirements of scoring standard, I suppose my paper can get 3.5 Since it satisfies most of the requirements, especially in terms of grammar area, I made few mistakes. At deep thinking area, I did much better than last time. Meanwhile, my paper’s organization is coherent and constant. It is easy to follow for readers.

Sincerely,

Ruicheng Liu
