Cover Letter
Hello, everyone. Welcome to my blog! Let me introduce myself first. My Chinese name is Ge Xueyan and in this class I have an English name called “Selina”. I major in sociology and I like my major very much. In my spare time, I like to read novels. Because I think reading could enlarge my knowledge. As for novels, I could imagine whatever I like such as a well-known scientist or a big star. In addition to reading, I also like to play computer games. I think I’m a person who is kind to others and I like making friends with others. It will be my great honor if I can become your good friend.
To be honest, writing in English is a little difficult for me. First, sometimes I can not find out a good theme of an essay. As known to all, a theme is the soul of an essay and choosing a proper theme is the first step of writing. The theme is the core element of the essay and should be centralized by the whole content. But to me, it happens quite often that after having read a story I find nothing to say. I think over and over hoping to think up a proper theme. It is really terrible. Second, how to organizing the paragraphs properly is hard work for me. I do not know why, but I think maybe I lack of a kind of ability that called logical ability. Sometimes when I nearly have finished an essay I would find that the paragraphs are just arranged together casually and I have gone a long way far from the theme. At last, my lacking of vocabularies hinders me from writing a satisfying essay. Sometimes I can not find proper words to express a lot of my feelings. As a result of that, what I have written do not accord with my feelings.
At first, I was hesitant about whether to attend this class, for that I think it is difficult for me to get a high score. But at last I decided to join the class; because I understand that my purpose is learning, not getting a high score. I think my decision is right, for that in this class I begin to know what writing really is. Writing is not just getting hundreds of words together and putting them on a piece of paper. Writing is more than that. It is a way of expressing your feelings and comminuting with the others. The most important thing of writing is not the grammar or the spelling, but the theme and the consecution. Because you must know clearly what you really want to say before sharing your ideas with others.
Then I like to introduce my papers to you.
The first paper in my portfolio is my essay draft three. In This essay I analyze the story of “Dead Men’s Path” and represent my point of view on it. It's a story about a young headmaster who is not quite lucky and experiences some failure in his work. I'll focus on the subject of how to deal with conflict between different culture in my essay.
The second and the third papers are my essay draft two and one. The three essays make me think over and over. I have tried my best to write a good essay. From just a focal point at the beginning, I gradually develop a complete essay in the terms of organization, word using and paragraph coherence.
The fourth paper is my final timed-writing. Timed-writing is different from the essay because it has to be done in a limited time. I think which is most in the timed-writing is your ideas but not the other things. I have to think up a idea quickly and express it properly in 45 minutes, so maybe it is not very satisfying.
The sixth paper is my reading log. I choose the story of “The Grass-Eaters” because this story which is about a poor man and his wife impresses me most. I write down what I feel about this story in my reading log.
Thank you for reading my papers. Good luck to you!
Sincerely,
Selina

you are assigned to write an essay on writing does not mean that writing it has to be a miserable experience. This is a great chance to be true to your feelings and really express yourself. As long as you're prepared to back up your points with specific examples, whether you love writing or hate it, you shouldn't be shy to tell the truth about what writing is to you.
