Free Writing
Looking back over the past, writing something in English has been kind of panic for me, and in fact, I couldn't write anything. Our teacher, MaryJo and Caleb, have always encouraged us to make efforts. When I made mistakes, they NEVER scolded me. In my high-school days ( many many years ago) if I made a grammatical mistake, I got a examination paper with a BIG cross. I had bad grades in English. Naturally, I lost my confidence. I have been convinced that I could't write anything in English. However, free writing got rid my panic. Now, I feel encouraged by MaryJo, moreover I am looking forward to getting my mistakes corrected by her. Free writing has been very helpful, thank you very much, MaryJo!

Since entering Ferris, I did not like English.(so I always think why I chose English literature course)
However, thanks to Intensive G, I became to like English!
Japanese education is too focused on grammer, but I think language is for communication.
My pleasure! I think the best way to become a better writer is to do a lot of writing. When we free-write, we can write a lot without the stress of having to constantly be perfect. (We can always work on perfection later!
Maybe my friend, Justine will be working with your friend's daughter at Kumon! It's a small world, isn't it!
