My Experience in studying writing two with Mrs. Leni Marlina

Every Wednesday at 8:50 A.M was my time to study writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina c. She was my lecturer, which the pair lecturer of Mr. Muhammad Ansyar, in writing 2 subject. Mrs. Lina, her nickname, explained us how to make several kinds of texts through the correct process. Honesty, I feel many good and terrible experiences during I studied with her. After I did all the assignments, I choose one of my best projects. This essay will tell about my experience in studying writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina and my best writing project.

If we talk about the experience, I would like to tell about the makeup class. Every Saturday, three classes that studied writing 2 with Mrs. Lina, K-1, K-2, and NK-2, were studying in a room called “LD1”. Imagine, we should study in a very small class with more than sixty students in that class.  It must be hot, tight and crowded. Although there are some disadvantages, I think this is a good way to share our ability in others class’ students and corporate each other.

The second experience was about the assignments and pressure. Mrs. Lina gave us a lot of assignments this semester. Started from free writing about experience in studying writing 1 last semester and my expectation  in studying writing 2, then narrative text, discussion text and the last is review text. After we finished, we share it into a blog. Actually, the big pressure is the deadline. Imagine, we should make a text in a short time; we do pair assignments, made the revision and shared it into a blog.  Honestly, I could not stand for working under pressure, but I should do this if I want to pass from this subject.

Even though we should do many assignments and got the pressure, I got much new ability. However, I know Mrs. Lina has a purpose to make us strong like steel. Implicit, she train us to reduce the wrongness and prepare us to make the final assignment “Paper”. Be caused of that reason, I have learned about how to make a good text based on the right process.  First of all, we make a text, and then we should copy it and share it for several classmates. The classmates who get the text will find some incorrect and give any suggestion.  That process call pair correction. Next step was do revision according the classmates’ suggestion. Repeat them many times for the perfect result.  The last step, share it into a blog. People in our circle allowed leaving a comment after they read our text. It may be some suggestion or correction. As a result, I can correct my wrongness in writing that I do not aware before.

          Next, I explain about my best writing project in writing 2 “discussion text”. The title is “Pro and Contra the Removal of English at Elementary School Curriculum”. I choose it because of the topic and the process. Recently, it is become a hot issue in many forum discussions; some say agree and others not.  I as a student in English Department disagree with this decision. As a result, I emphasize my opinion through my discussion essay.

I took very long process to make an discussion essay. First, I chose the topic that I wanted to discuss. Second, I made the outline point by point.  Next, I collect many sources from internet. There were some evidences which emphasize my idea.  After that, I develop it into an essay. I made the essay according the right elements of an essay. Then, I did pair correction and did revision until four times. Finally, I shared it into a blog.

In the conclusion, I have much good and bad experience when I studied writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina. Because of the experiences, I could increase my ability in writing. As a result, I am glad to say my discussion essay was my best writing project from all of writing projects although I made it with very long process.  In addition, I have a suggestion with this subject. It would be better if Mrs. Lina change the way of teaching to make the students enjoyed to study writing 2.
