The last English Class

      Before I take this class, I thought that this class will be just a regular English class that teaches students how to develop their writing skills, yet since I am about to finish this whole course that has started from fall 2011 until spring 2012, I think this class contains more than just developing students writing skills. This class is not just a regular English class as I thought. I have gotten a lot of benefits from this class, and I'm still getting more. Also, this class relates to my other classes in many ways. One of these is that I use a lot of skills that I learned from this class with my other classes specially the writing and the skills that really helped me to understand the subject and the main ideas. However, what I really noticed in the end of class are the changes in my point of view in many things, and the differences that happened. Thus, I can analyze these changes in three points. The reflective of this class on my personal life, the advantages that I got, and the difficulties that I had.

      This class has really affected my personal life, and my point of view in many things. First of all, since English is my second language, and this class has taught me a lot of skills that I did not know before, I can say that these skills are the most beneficial thing. Also, after all the subjects and the topics that we have been through, I understood a lot of things. One of these topics is the book Persepolis. After I read this book and saw the whole image of the Iranian revolution, I changed my idea of this revolution, and I clearly understood how people have struggled in that time. Also, in the last when I read the poem ''It's a women world'', I thought that I will never understand this poem, but now I understood everything in that poem, and I wrote an essay about it. Therefore, this class has gave me a lot, and not just in one subject.

   
                  

     There are a lot of advantages that I got from this class and through the subjects that we have studied. One of these advantages is that learning how to act. this class is not an acting class, but last semester one of our exercises was writing a scene involving the rhetorical appeals: logic ''logos'', emotion ''pathos'', values, and credibility ''ethos''. That was my first  English scene I did in life. I learned a lot of things from this scene because we delivered this topic from the scene that we did. Also, in this semester we have done some presentations that help me very much in my education life because I have learned how to present in many ways during these presentations. Also, some of the advantages that I had from this class are the work sites. Now I really can label my sources for my essays very clear and avoid plagiarism. This will support the creditability of my essay during my college life here on campus. These are not all advantages that I had from this class, yet these are the most important things that will help a lot in my education life.

      

      The difficulties that I had in this class were not a lot, but I had some from the last semester and this semester. In the last semester in the first two weeks I was struggling with poem ''It's a women world'' because it was the first time that I read an English poem in life, but after the two weeks I made it, and I understood every single word, and I explained everything in that poem. Also, I had some problems with the scene that I made with my group because it was my first English scene I did, but after I a lot of practicing we made it. In this semester I did not have a lot of issues because I already knew what we will do in this class and what are the goals of this class. However, I had some problem with my reading because our first assignment in this semester was reading the book Persepolis during the vacation, yet in the last week of the vacation I made it, and I read the whole book. All these difficulties have been removed in the end of this because I found all the solutions that I need from this class.

    In conclusion, this class is my last English class, and I learned more than just the English language because of the topics and the subjects that we have been through were not just learning skills about writing or reading, yet we have been through many types of topics and subjects.
