Critical reflection edited draft

After 12 weeks of lessons, I feel that great improvements have been made in terms of my grammar competency. For instance, I now understand the difference between “will” and “would”, where one has a higher probability of happening in the future, as compared to another. In my previous essays, I misused the word “would” without realizing that it is used for hypothetical sentences and my essays were often filled with “would”. However, after going through consultations and attempting online grammar exercises, I am able to understand the differences better and I can use it more appropriately.

One area of improvement is writing essays more academically. In the previous essays, my writing style was too informal and the vocabulary used was inappropriate for an academic writing. For instance, the sentence structures were poor, leading to a disorganised and informal essay. Therefore to improve, more writing practice is needed to familiarize myself with the structure and style of an academic essay. Furthermore, raising questions in class allows me to clear my doubts regarding any issues and allows me to learn from my mistakes. Hence, this module has improved my grammar to a large extent and would prevent me from committing similar mistakes in the future.
