11/13(Learning Journal 7 )
This time's free writing I want to reflect the sample 15 of the material that Miss Chen gave us in the class of Topic sentence. I feel unhappy with the content of this paragraph, so I want to fight back.

The name in my composition are cited from CNN.

Today Miss Chen show us the principle of "How to check the composition?" In my opinion, it is more useful than the checklist written on the material. After checking the academic writing rules, I wrote them on my month schedule book so that I can review it whenever I need them.

I still value that "The piece is engaging and alive."

My friend Ricky(李奇瀚), who had taken this class before, asked me why I am so blue after he read my composition "Why you major your major?". He said he feel sad through my article. I was shocked and confused why he asked this question because I just wanted to tell a joke without any negative emotion. Fortunately, I finally realize that “reader awareness” is important. I reviewed my article again and found that there isn’t any positive words and aspects in the article. I’m sad about the failed joke but glad of finding this problem.

This time Miss Chen made us check others' composition.

I found that both two classmates whom I checked didn't care their grammar as well as me.
Before I publish my composition, I will use word to cheke my grammer, but I was aware of that it cannot fixed the problem of tense.

The other difficulty is that my article structure is really poor, which is according my friends.
I also found that my structure is quiet different from others.
Acturally, I felt constrained when I tried to follow the structure rule.
I prefer to writting everything I want.
So here is the question, what can I do to solve this problem?
