Short I Search Reflection
1. What key things have I learned in writing this short I-Search and “they say I say”?
(1) FTA
I found and understood something like Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is one of the most important parts in the global economy or Korea and America FTA may become possibility and opportunity of spring to us.
(2) Templates
The above template and the others in “They Say I Say” will actually help your writing become more original and creative, not less.
(3) Think about me
I did not have time to think about me. However, Dr. Elliot gave me opportunity to born again.
(4) MLA
I have learned MLA style and how can I do footnote. And I have known about Diigo.
2. How does this relate to what I already know?
Actually, I was disappointed by myself, because I realized that I was ignorant. My lack of knowledge was grave failing. Anyway, this made me soaked up much information. And it united with Knowledge what I already knew, so it became huge. I think it will help me in my career.
3. How can I apply what I’ve learned in my future writings in this class?
I will try to use templates in my future writings. I think if I use template, my essay will be strong and clear. In addition, it gives us own thoughts. Also, I will continue use Diigo. It’s very useful for me. And during the writing, I will hang on other people’s word. My point of view is important, but others people’s opinion make my paper more strong and clear.
4. Can I apply what I’ve learned in this unit to aspects of life outside the classroom?
I’m not sure, but I might do that outside the classroom. For instance, I could not give a valuable advice to my friend who got grievous situation which suffer by U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement. From now on, however, I can advice to my friend even if it is not a good advice for him. Because I made a study of FTA, I can do that. Actually, I don’t know it is a good example about question.
5. What was high point of this writing?
High point of this writing is explained about FTA between U.S. and Korea. And then I suggest my opinion: although it will not have an effect on every areas of Korean economy immediately, we should study and provide for an effect of the FTA thoroughly. If we prepared effective measures, the FTA would be a great opportunity for us to Korea’s economic takeoff.
6. What was the low point of this writing?
First, Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is one of the most important parts in the global economy.
Second, the agreement was made between both countries after a lengthy debate. A negotiation has been a difficult process.
In addition, The KORUS FTA offers us an opportunity to grow our already significant bilateral trade and investment relationship with one of the world’s most diversified and vibrant economies.
Lastly, there are some issues in the agreements on which both countries hold a different view.
7. What obstacle did you encounter in completing this writing?
In fact, I couldn’t understand how I can write story and construct of a story. It was so hard for me. Also, there are too many difficulty technical term, so I should found and understood that. And it was different between research paper which I have known and I search paper.
8. What strategies did I use to overcome these obstacles (got notes from The Learning Center/Writing Center on effective writing and reading techniques, found a learning partner to compare and discuss notes after class?
I searched many information of FTA which written in Korean and English. And then I tried to understand about that. Also, I tried to talk with peoples who know about FTA, but it was not useful.
I went to Western Kentucky University Learning Assistance Centers and I checked my mistake on the paper: grammar, organization.
9. What have I learnt about myself as a writer (strengths and weaknesses, learning style preferences, best times and places to study, balancing study with other responsibilities and commitments)?
I think I am not a good writer. I could not write a good story. Actually, when I start writing, my mind goes blank and I became a natural worrier. When I write a story after a long time, I usually find myself surprised by how much my thought has changed during the time how different I feel about the content of the story.
