III.Writing in The Descipline as a plotform in education for Sustainable Development



As we all know,English is our universal language.Different people in different country communicate with one another using English language.Though this they can fully express their feelings and ideas.
               When I was young I really don't know the importance of studying English.We formally begun studying it since elementary.I was so curious about it.The lessons being discussed by our teachers  from grade one up to grade six are almost same.But still I couldn't even master it even the most basic eight parts of speech.Maybe because I just really hate it and I find difficult on it.
               Until we reach in high school,English is still there.But by this time it became more challenging.This is also the time that I started to realize the importance of English in our life.Maybe because I already widen my mind about the reality of life.We need to study  English in order to communicate with better people.I know that we are Filipino and we must love our own.But in order to be more competitive we must learn English in order to fully express our ideas specially when dealing with foreign people.
                For me ,as a student,learning English now became more challenging but fun and interesting.Many words rhyme with one another.Good sounds to hear.I started love reading poem,literature and compositions.Every time I read it gives me more ideas and knowledge about those unfamiliar words which I never encounter before.Exploring the adventurous world of English is a different kind of experience.
                 We as a student specially being in college should exercise and develop our skills in writing and understanding English.To become more competitive,productive and successful one in our field of study and in our future career.   

IV. Reflection in English 121

There was a lot of pressure to continue my success in the topic in college as well. With that pressure came great disappointment after my definitional essay was returned to me with the letter B. This is only one example of how college has challenged me far beyond high school. In order to view descriptions of my assignments and to link to the finished products navigate to the English course page under the "Courses" heading. My first college assignment was very intimidating, which is why my instructor's decision to give a graded but not weighted assignment was greeted with my personal sighs of relief. I had no idea how much higher the bar was in college, or if I could reach that bar with even my greatest leap. It felt like more than simply a new level; it felt like I had suddenly jumped into a brand new league, a league where past standing meant nothing. It also meant starting over with a new instructor whose preferences for style and organization were completely unknown to me.

My initial problem with writing this assignment was simply the topic. What memory in my life was important enough to become a part of the present momentous moment? Eventually, that problem was solved when I forced myself to think of the first memory that seemed truly significant to my intellectual growth. It beam abundantly clear that the appropriate moment for my paper would be when I truly started thinking for myself despite obvious contradictions with what my mother had always taught me. A new problem arrived to replace the old when my teacher informed me we were to incorporate a visual element to liven up our papers. I thought back to senior year, when I read my friend's research paper on Oscar Wilde. In her paper, she split her piece with headers that were each assigned their own subject. This seemed to greatly contribute to the smooth flow of her paper and helped to connect every piece of her writing to the larger picture. Since the visual element worked so well for her, I decided it could work for me as well and proceeded to divide my paper into smaller subject headings.
I was fairly satisfied with my finished paper and didn't think I would go back and change much of what resulted from my work. I would, however, change my presentation of the paper because I was not well enough prepared. I should have practiced the speech more so that I did not end up making my introduction a third of the speech, which caused me to have to compress the true point of the speech and the paper into one sentence.

V. Integration of Education dor Sustainable Development to English 121


Our early work revealed a number of themes that are important to children about where they live. These include for example personal concerns such as health, family, and friends and the perception of safety or danger posed by people,roads, or vandalism. It was striking to the adults how important the quality of their local environment was to the children.
                Most of the children already moved around the community more independently of their parents and wider families. They had detailed knowledge of their local community and could operate safely and successfully in it. Their knowledge of their community however, and how they used it were very different from that of adults. (e.g their knowledge  of the recreation areas, who used them, and how safe they were).  This knowledge  was gained through exploration and paly, exchanges with peers and families through stories, and by renewed contact with each other, with older children, with adults, and with the community.
