My experiences in Writing 2

Written by Mega Gusna Yenti

      Writing 2 was one of my subjects that I studied in the third semester. It was taught by Mrs. Leni Marlina, S.S., M. A. and Mr. Muhammad Anshar.  Both of them were new for me because I never studied with them before. However, I had ever heard about Mrs. Leni Marlina from Prof. Drs. H. Zainil, Dip. TEFL, B.A, M.A., Ph. D., who was one of my lecturers in Reading 1, last semester.  He said that she used to be one of his students and she was studying in Australia. Therefore, I never saw her since I came to college until the end of my second semester. When I filled my study’s schedule, I saw her name as one of my Writing 2 lecturers. Perhaps it would be a good experience when I met and studied with her. By studying writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina, I got a number of experiences included unpleasant and pleasant experiences.

There were several unpleasant experiences that I got. For example,  I only spent my time just to finish my writing 2 assignments; as a result, I ignored my assignments from other subjects. Also, I spent a lot of money on it because I should print my writing assignments out for many times. Not only that, but also I did not have enough time to sleep because writing assignments needed many ideas that I was able to create at night.

      However, there were several pleasant experiences that I got. For instance, I knew how to write a kind of texts such as discussion text, narrative text and review text started from making the outline until published it. Not only that, but also Mrs. Leni Marlina courage me to write because if we practiced more, we would get more. I used to write anything and kept it in mind, but since I studied with Mrs. Lina, I learned how to make a good writing by asking others’ opinion. For instance, by asking my classmates’ opinion about my writing. In addition, I was capable to make my own blog account because I used to uninterested in having private blog. So, I could share my writings like free writing essay, discussion text and narrative text which I learned in this third semester into my blog.

      From three projects that had been published, I think my third project is the best one. It began from making the outline. When Mrs. Lina asked us to make the outline first, there was no idea in my mind. Fortunately, Mrs. Lina allowed us to continue it at home. At home, exactly at night, I tried to think something that was possible to be discussed. Suddenly, I remembered to the topic that I debated about with my cousin when I went home. Then, I looked for the information from many sources in the internet. After that, I read that information and wrote it in outline form by using my own words. Next, I developed it into several paragraphs, around six paragraphs.  After I finished it, I collected it to Mrs. Lina and she asked me to copy it then asked my classmates’ opinion about my writing.  After they finished checking my discussion text, they returned it to me and it was my turn to look over my writing based on my classmates’ opinion. I also added some new ideas in the certain paragraph to make it clearer. I did it for two times. Finally, I got the final project of my discussion text that was called The Third Revision then I published it in my blog account, megagusnayenti.blogspot.com.

      In conclusion, those all were my experiences during studied Writing 2 with Mrs. Lina in this third semester. Involving unpleasant experiences such as spent much money and time. The pleasant experiences were also included on it such as I knew how to write a good writing started from making the outline even published it into my private blog; therefore, I could finish all my writings and got the best one which was discussion text.
