This semester in Literary Studies 10 I would like to learn many things, including improving my vocabulary, learning about the history of this language, and improving my overall writing skills. Although I do not see myself going into a profession where English is the main focus, I recognize how important little things such as writing an email can be. English is certainly not one of my strong points, which is why improving my overall writing skills is important to me. I want to learn things such as, writing a proper essay, a well structured email, and things such as an application letter. Improving my vocabulary is another thing I want to learn in this class. I want to improve my vocabulary for many reasons, the simplest one being using some more advanced words in essays or conversation makes you sound a little smarter. The final thing I would like to learn more about is the history of this language. I am not the most interested in English class (although I would like to change that) but the history of where this language came from and historic poets is something that really interests me. In this class I hope to learn many things, including many more than the three I mentioned in this piece of writing, but my main goal in this class is to hopefully become a little better at this language than what I started at.
