I went to the writing center on this Friday because my English class required us to go there at least twice. It was hard to make an appointment because all most all the time were full. Finally I chose an one hour appointment on Friday even I don’t have class on that day.
It was my first time went to the writing center, so it took me some time to find it. There were several students in it with their teachers. My teacher is Poupeh Missaghi. I went there with my entrepreneur report because I want to let teacher correct my grammar mistakes. My essay always have so many grammar mistakes like use of the article, tense of the sentences, and use of correct words. The teacher introduced an Online Oxford Collocation Dictionary to me. She thought it was helpful because you can find clear definition and examples of the way of using words. She said she was also an international student before, so this way helped her a lot in correcting grammar mistakes. I also need to focus on my pronunciation because I have a presentation on Monday. Because of that, the teacher in the writing center let me read through my essay and corrected my pronunciation. I had some accent in English and I also had pronunciation errors. The teacher listened carefully each sentences and told me the way to prove it.
I think it is very helpful to go to the writing center because it actually give you a hand on your writing. I will go to writing center again no matter the professor required or not. I think it can prove my skills of writing and help me to get better grade in my English class. However, it’s better to make appointment early because there are so many people attend to go there.
