English 110: Freshman Composition: Class Introduction

Name: Chao Hong

Intended Major: Computer Science

Preferred Pronouns: He/Him

After reading the syllabus I really like how the course allows us to be more informed of our own government. Though I am excited about deepening my understanding of social issues that occur today, I often struggle to decipher the message the author wants to leave behind in their writing. 

The qualities in good writing I believe is to put the reader into the setting the author wants to depict in their minds, and in order to become a writer who could do that, one must obviously practice in order to succeed. Being able to write well is important because it is a way to permanently put the author’s beliefs and ideals visibly for others to see.

Whenever I write I find it fairly easy to use descriptive words or phrases in order to portray what I want the reader to “see”. I’m fairly good at putting what I feel effectively using words.

The hardest part of writing for me is staying focused on what I’m working on and not procrastinating and grammar isn’t really a strong point for me either. I need to work on making sure the things I write makes sense and that I’m using the best word(s) possible in order to help readers understand my main points.

While my major doesn’t necessarily have a lot of writing I still believe that writing is nonetheless useful in any career since you never know when you have to put your ideas in words. In addition, being a good writer is good for your career opportunities since you’re able to portray what kind of person you are and the goals you hope to achieve clearly.
