what I learned in ESL 114

After several days, the first semester that I learned in U.S will step into an end. I am willing to summarize what I have learned during the term. Only for ESL 114, I have learned many things that will be useful to me in the future. From this class I understand how to write a composition, a research paper, and to make a presentation; I even learned how to express myself and work with others.
Firstly, as what we were taught in the course, I have learned the writing skills and principles of dealing with essays, research papers and presentation. I learned how to organize an essay with introduction, body and conclusion; I learned how to express my ideas during writing with thesis statement and topic sentences; I also learned some grammar during writing like the function of “or, and...” and the classification of “a, an and the”. Of course, I achieved the knowledge of the ways to deal with different styles of essays, like the pattern of cause and effect. While doing with my research paper, I understood the way to find quotes and academic information. At last, I knew how to make a good presentation with speech and graphs.
Secondly, I tried to cooperate with others, which improved my skills of express myself and work with others. We had all kind of activities like group discussion and group game. I thought I could be better to show my talent after this class.
In conclusion, this class is so perfect that I learned a lot and help me fit into American society.
