Sometimes I also find it difficult to structure my ideas in a logical way.</p><p>4)I plan to improve my writing by reading more academic texts, practicing regularly, and using feedback from my teachers. I also want to expand my vocabulary and learn more about proper grammar structures for academic writing.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I believe that it is like changing your thinking way and mind. I wrote an essay on philosophy and it took several weeks. What I find the most challenging is focus on your ideas, when you’re writing your essay you cannot stop at one of them. From my perspective, I should do more practices and that is enough </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Sofia Diachkovskaia: </p><ol><li><p> As for me, since the school period I wrote many essays and works in English. Most of them were academic for study programs and sessions but I also sometimes got creative and wrote more personal and art pieces.</p></li><li><p>I could not answer for sure but I believe the longest was about 13.000 words? For 7 pages 12 size, Times New Roman font for my final essay in the first semester. However, usually the works are not so big and complicated, I do not like to write to "watery" with many abstract things but as you can see, I also cannot write in a just a few sentences either.</p></li><li><p>Vocabulary I would say?.. I mostly look at Wordhunt or Cambridge dictionary to find synonyms and make my work look more appealing and lively.</p></li><li><p>First of all, I believe that in your classes we will read more pieces on different genres, that alone will increase my overall English level. Nevertheless, to boost it even more I also would love to learn and remember new synonyms, some high level adjectives and grammar, because I have a tendency to forget the learning material fast without revision.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I had been visiting English course in my childhood, when I was 9-11y.o. But since my (successfully  graduation) end of the school I started learning English on my own. Nowadays, I am practicing of course. I learning 10 words (phrases idioms sentences) per day, watching movies/serials with the websites specially for natives. But I don’t have enough speaking practice, so that’s the point. Maybe I can have some problems with writing grammar tasks but sometimes. Especially I can construct more complex sentences/ constructions however it takes time, a little bit or more😬 </p><p>I grew up in Kazakh culture, fam/school/extra classes (дополнительные) all of there were in kazakh. No russian(I mean almost all day, but I speak well, definitely C1 level), no english. </p><p><br/></p><p>I finished my school with red diploma and gold medal, my 1course was plenty hard (gpa 3.11) and 2course (3.7) was also hard a bit but I could manage. </p><p><br/></p><p>I definitely need more practice, but still sometimes afraid to speak. Bc most of participants I know well, it is annoying </p><p><br/></p><p>Yes.Aigerim </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1) I didn't write much before university, and my first experience was in my mspk class when I wrote about my life</p><p>2) Probably the longest was the mspk essay. It was my first experience in writing long essays</p><p>3) I have too small a vocabulary and it prevents me from writing about complex topics</p><p>4) I will write a lot on my personal journal on different topics and I will read more books</p><p>Maiken Aruzhan </p>]]></description>
