EAP II: First formal writing class in college

Through the EAP2 course, I have not only gained academic research and writing skills but also strengthened my critical thinking and analytical abilities. These skills have made me more confident in facing future academic challenges. I believe that in both my future studies and career, these abilities will help me tackle complex problems while maintaining calmness and thoughtful judgment.

In my first project, I centered my essay on a simple yet profound piece of advice from my father: “A person must have the ability to calm down and think, and, more importantly, to have their own opinions.” This phrase has greatly influenced my growth. Through recounting my experiences as the captain of the basketball team and the president of the volunteer association, I illustrated how I used calm judgment to overcome challenges. This project helped me realize the power of words—not only in shaping my character but also in guiding me to excel in academics, sports, and social activities.

The second project allowed me to explore the impact of technology on human empathy. By analyzing the perspectives of Sherry Turkle and Yo-Yo Ma, I discovered that while technology has made life more convenient, it has also weakened emotional connections between people. I found Yo-Yo Ma’s advocacy for STEAM education (integrating arts into STEM) particularly inspiring, as it promotes creativity and empathy alongside technological innovation. Writing this essay taught me how to balance different viewpoints and propose constructive solutions to modern challenges.

The third project focused on the effects of artificial intelligence on the job market. I examined how AI is replacing low-skill jobs while creating new demands for high-skill positions. During this research, I realized the critical importance of reskilling and policy support in mitigating the challenges of AI-driven changes. I also referenced Germany’s large-scale reskilling initiatives as an example of how societies can adapt to technological advancements. This project deepened my understanding of the relationship between technology and social equity while honing my ability to analyze data and research findings critically.
