         <description><![CDATA[<div>When it comes to English writing I cannot say that I have a unique personal relation ship with writing like most people do. I have written different kinds of writings in the past. But it is all temporary, and I quickly break or weary of it. I suppose I like writing in English&nbsp; but to a certain level .My experience with writing or even speaking goes back to elementary school, where I learned how to read and write letters. Despite the fact that was just the beginning, there isn't much to it. We recently learnt the fundamental of reading and writing. but I can't recall exactly how.&nbsp;<br>The main thing teachers focus during my elementary school was how to speak the English&nbsp; language, they didn't care about showing us how to write simple essay or stories. the only time i write is when the teacher made us copy notes that we don't understand&nbsp; from the blackboard so i never thought writing was an important part of knowing English so you can say i had a rough start when it comes to writing.<br>I learnt to write, listen to, and read more difficult English during the end of middle school. However, I wouldn't claim that this period of my life made a significant contribution to the level of English literacy I currently have. However, I think it was crucial. One of the most steps I had to take, to get to a higher spot than I were previously. But in this instance, I was unsure of my direction or the location of the higher site.<br><br></div><div>I don't remember many things of middle school that had to do with my English writing skill. I mainly recall my time with my friends and the games we played. I just remember them, even though there weren't many of them—probably only few over my entire middle school life. Other than that, the English writing things I can recall include writing a lot of&nbsp; English notes from the board to my exercise book. it just&nbsp; enhanced my speed with out knowing what it was about, which is not good. reading bunch of story and general science books, giving presentations in front of the class, and performing a conversation with some classmates.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I do recall clearly how, on one of the five school days, our class used to watch animated films, primarily Disney movies. It was always the best day of the week. I remember when the first Madagascar movie came out. I was in 4th grade and was so excited to see it. We would finish our class activities and assignments very fast and beg our teacher to let us watch it in class. After watching that movie, we were chanting that famous phrase from the movie, "I like to move it, move it!" all year round. My friend was suspended from school for using that phrase too much. I recall how traumatic that day was for me and my classmates.<br><br></div><div>Our teachers did their best to teach us, and the animation movies assisted us with how the language is spoken. To tell the truth, I didn't fully get the dialogue or the plot of those movies; I barely understood about half of what was said. I suppose you might say that I struggled with English. Yet I continued to appreciate the movies. The movies were amusing enough to make me smile. but they didn't help me that much when it comes to writing.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;However, in the years to follow, I seem to find movies very important for my development of My Writing skills, Movies where the primary thing that showed me how the language is spoken. As I mentioned earlier, in elementary, I didn’t understand more than half of what was said in the movies. But as I continue watching movies in high school, I started to understand everything. My ability to hear English was improving quickly. Second, watching movies taught me a lot of new words. I would pause a movie if I heard a term I didn't recognize or comprehend, look it up online in a dictionary, or try to ask my big brother. and I truly believe that helped me develop my vocabulary and grammar skill. and doing that helped my writing skills.<br>However, watching movies also helped me in a unique way. It inspired me to read books by some. in particular a book series called Alex rider. the first book that i read of Alex rider was an anime version. you should know that anime is a type of computer animation that has its roots in Japan. the book was about a teen boy who was working on behalf of MI6.and after that reading books and improving my vocabularies became my hobby.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;My first essay<br><br></div><div>I actually remember that I wrote my very first essay in grade nine, just after we returned from the holiday break. Our English teacher gave us a word essay assignment to write about something for which we were grateful for and gave us four days to complete it. I was quite anxious at the time, but as soon as I went home, I started drafting. It was difficult for me at first, but as I kept going, I began to write in a lovely manner and with clarity. but to write it with a lovely manner my instructors feed back was very helpful for me the feed back I wont forget is he told me to write in a complete manner, I would just start of a topic to talk about and not finish that and begin another one and that made it hard to read so my instructor kind of showed me how to write in a coherent manner that day. and i can say that impacted me as a writer and I had a tremendous change on my writing skill, I was so proud of myself at that time . I was so excited to be able to express myself through writing and to be able to communicate exactly what I wanted to say. The ability to write, express my feelings and clearly describe what I want to say made me so happy. After that it motivated me to write my own journal. . I simply started writing about how my day went , about my weekly goals, and even the problems and stress I faced and how I dealt with them. The thing I loved about writing a journal is that you can express yourself without pressure, and the best part is that it will help you improve your writing skills without knowing it and help you become a better writer. It has become a very big part of my life until now.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;Finally, i would describe my English writing journey nice despite the fact that it was challenging for me in middle school it turned out to be a success but I thoroughly loved it. and lastly I would like to emphasize that writing is not something that can be mastered over night; you just need to practice, develop a daily habit, try to read every day, ask for feedback from peers and last but not least, watch movies and. do it out of enjoyment Just don't stress about it. You just have to be consistent and never give up when it comes to writing. Enjoy it, love it, live it!<br><br></div>]]></description>
