English for academic purposes module has helped me greatly,
particularly in my problem-solution essay writing skills. This consists of
organization skills, referencing skills, as well as vocabulary and grammar
skills.
Before this module, I was not fully knowledgeable in
planning and structuring my essay. Citation was a vital aspect of the essay, where
I needed help in acknowledging the research sources that I had referenced. Limited vocabulary, tenses, and subject-verb
agreement were another problem that I faced.
From this module, I have learnt to organize my essay.
Firstly, I am required to discuss the main problem in the introduction, and
have a thesis statement of my stand. Secondly, I am required to discuss the
problem in each paragraph, provide solutions that have been implemented to
counter the problem, with the aid of
research, as well as include my own opinion of what can be further done to
solve the problem. In addition, the conclusion requires a reiteration of the
points, as well as leaving a prompt for readers to think over. Also, I have
learned referencing via the APA-referencing guide. Lastly, I have learned how
to check my tenses, subject verb agreements, proper word forms to use
appropriately, as well as new words.
In future, I can further improve by reading more articles
for content, researching more on meanings of unfamiliar words for my
vocabulary, as well as practise more by doing more essays bi-weekly. I will
cover a wider range of topics in the essays, such as the Media, State politics
etc, so as to widen my knowledge in these aspects. In addition to writing more,
I will seek professional help in vetting through my essay so that I will be
able to learn from and correct my mistakes. This very same concept applies to
my major, whereby practicing more helps me to improve and understand the
concept which I am learning.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power! In conclusion, knowledge
is an ever-improving skill, and there is much that I can do to constantly
improve it.
