Writing

Opinion-Based Essay

I swear the struggle was real. We were tasked to do an opinion-based essay, and to write the essay, we had to have an outline, and to have the outline we needed to do A LOT of consultations.

The first time I went to consult with Madam Naga, she rejected my outline right after she read my topic. My topic wasn't an opinion-based essay. There was some misunderstanding about the determining the essay topic.

My first topic was 'The Importance of Family Communication' which was not arguable. So, I came up with 'Children Should Be Paid for Doing Chores' which sounds better, and Madam APPROVED IT! Hehe

In my opinion, when we got rejected, we ought to take it as a challenge for us to be better. As I got rejected, I felt that I needed to be better and work harder. So what I did was, I went to see Madam Naga for consultation. She explained to me how to choose a topic, and the second time I went to her to check my essay outline, she said she liked my topic and my outline was overall good. Thus, I guess I did pretty well for the essay writing.

Mid Term Test

I failed my writing paper for mid term. I was confident answering the question yet when I got to see the mark, there was a big disappointment in me as I was aiming higher. I reflected myself to find what was wrong and I finally understood. I missed the format and a few points were incomplete.
