1. reading is my best friend

To be honest, I like reading alone. Since I was in high school, one of my hobbies was to read what I bought from our school bookstore. Currently I am reading the fictional novel The three bodies problem, which is written by Cixin Liu. Also, last week I read a part of the search of multi universes, written by John Gribin, because one of my favorite games mentioned the sentences in it. Besides, I am enthusiastic about things related to multi universes or time travel, so the type of book I read most is science fiction. 

Kindle is the tool I usually use to read them, like how it shows the texts, it feels like just a thinner book for me.

2.about writing

I personally is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, so I rarely write 

Anything in my leisure time. I remember the formal article I wrote last time was due to the assignment of the uwp 022 course… 

To write an essay, google doc or word document are the best choices for me. Google doc can automatically save your current document so you won’t meet with the tragedy that your word document suddenly crashes. Also, it provides some notification when there’s serious grammar mistake appears in my passage.

Whatever, writing is a cool technique and there’s lots of tricks and strategies I need to learn. I am looking forward to studying them with you guys in this summer session!

2.Comparing the relationship with reading, I have a less positive relationship with wiring. Writing always consists of several sentences, but I am not good at establishing each sentence clearly, accurately, or perfectly. Sometimes, my sentences do not express my thinking, which may cause some unclear expressions in paragraphs. Besides, if I want to describe a lot of information in one sentence, I may make the sentences hard to understand and wordy. Thus, those problems of my writing cause a little bit more negative relationship with my writing. Although sometimes I try to revise them, it is hard to improve significantly. Most of the time, I always write some short paragraphs to accomplish homework and write a few papers as the midterm or final reflective in some courses. Like most students, my common tools of writing are google doc and WPS.

2. About writing. 

We are not close at all! We are unfamiliar! It is a disaster when I am writing, spelling wrong spelled, wrong grammar, wrong vocabulary. But, actually I love to write even though I am not good at it. I like to share stories with others by writing or chatting. The story I was told and I saw, or I was through it. I would love to write them down and share them with others. To write an essay, my first choice will be Word, since I am living in China now. But google doc is more helpful , it has more functions than Word, it is easy to save and it is easy to share. 

I know my writing skill is so bad, but, no matter what, I want to learn how to write a good essay, good story. I want to improve my writing skill. I hope this summer I can become better!

2)     Formulas and numbers are my forte. However, the career path I am pursuing requires advanced writing skills. My confidence to articulate varies from prompt to prompt yet remains low. I prefer to write research or historical papers where I can formulate a thesis based on evidence and facts. When it comes to creative writing or composing a thesis based on themes from a book, my ability to articulate disappears. I tend to encounter writing blocks whenever trying to accomplish simple tasks assigned in class. Overthinking and second guessing what I write restrains me the most. I typically write essays for class, small discussion posts, and occasionally will type a few notes into my phone as reminders for later. Word document and Google Docs are my go-to platforms for keeping track of my writing. Although my handwriting resembles a child’s, I enjoy putting pen to paper.

My dad gave me a Kindle when I was in middle school, and downloading new books on my kindle became my favorite thing after school. I am still reading on that kindle until now. 

On the contrary,  I don’t like writing at all. It is hard for me to organize my thoughts and language on paper and that makes my writing grade pretty bad during the high school years. Those extra factors make me have negative emotions. Now I'm trying to re-understand writing and challenge myself. I realized that writing is one of the important parts of my college. I can’t graduate from college without writing anything.  By the way, I liked writing stories when I was in primary school. I didn’t have a phone at that time, so writing stories made me feel rich.
