Do you have any purposes? Do you have your own goal in learning to write?We will first examine different types of writing for different purposes. In daily life, we encounter at least two different categories of writing:1) writing for entertainment, (creative writing, such as novels, stories and poems).2) Writing for information. (formal or expository prose, such as research papers and newpaper reports).If we consider the social aspects of writing, classification can be made under headings ofA. informal writing, such as private journals, notes to friends, and personal letters.B. Formal writing, such as letters of application, letters of inquiry, and business communication.If we consider the different natures of wring, we may then find that novels and stories require creative power because the creation of characters, plots, and images requires imagination, whereas research papers and business communications require analytical ability because they communicate factual information. Creativeness and analytical ability both have their roles.However, many students, unaware of different types of writing, tend to think of writing only in the form of novels and poems, (they wish to write in English as well as Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, or Winston Churchill. They aspire to follow the example of ancient Chinese writers they lose confidence at the beginning of writing course,) or they learn to write just for a test.Before aspiring to achieve fame or to pass the test, we should first of all try to write to communicate .In real life, the major role of language is communication rather than entertainment. I have therefore set communication as the target of my teaching this course. Do not worry if your vocabulary is simple and everyday, your sentences ordinary and commonplace, and your message initially superficial or insignificant. The important thing is to learn to communicate your ideas clearly, logically, and understandabl y. We will be trained how to write clearly, accurately, and logically, with the emphasis on effective presentation of facts and opinions. If we master the skills of successful communication, it will not be a big problem if some of us decide to take a few stepsfurther into the realm of creative and imaginative writing.However, the apparently innocent phrase “ successful communication carry profound meaning. We already know that language exists in two forms: oral and written. In oral communication, there are many different situations in which different languages registers are required. One talks with close friends in one way, with strangers in another; with street vendors in one way, with teachers in yet another. If one confuses these different occasions and uses the wrong form of language, one may fail in the communication. The same is true in written communication. One writes to one ' s parents in one way, to acquaintances in another; a brief note in one way, and an academic paper in another. If one confuses these forms, one may be judged as having inadequate education. As college students, you probably already have a good idea as to what different forms of the Chinese language to use under different circumstances. Yet, you are only at the beginning of learning the proper forms in the English language.The English language has its forms and written forms, its informal, semi-formal, and very formal forms. These forms require different kinds of words, sentence patterns, and essay structures.I think ( to achieve our goal)1. The ideas of your articles can only come from your daily accumulation of extensive reading and your thinking;v 2. Good articles come from your arduous(of work needing and using up much energy.) practice;v 3. Your teacher ' s role is to stivkeiyour interests in writing; many of us may have found writing to the source of constant headache in the past. I hope that in my class , we can make writing at least less painful. You might say that given that this is a writing course, the teacher will always be the evaluator, grading everything you write, and that, therefore, the purpose of all writing will have to be for good marks---an important consideration for future prospects. True as this might be, other possibilities do exist.A teacher plays more roles than that of a marker. A teacher can in fact be a genuinely interested reader, a kind-hearted monitor, and a willing, supportive helper. Even if the teacher does play the role of a marker in the end, the emphasis can be different.Firstly, I will consider spelling, diction, grammar and content when evaluating a written work. At the latter period of this term, althoughlinguistic features are still important, the most important aspect will be the communicative effectiveness of each piece of writing. If the writer fails to use the appropriate form of language to achieve the intended purpose, even if grammar and spelling are flawless, the paper will probably not receive a high mark. Conversely, if the essay is effective in communication ideas, a few mistakes in grammar or diction will not affect the mark.v 4. Your teacher ' s task is to teach you some techniques on writing and design suitable writing tasks for you to practice;1) so, you have to read your textbook by yourselves after class.v 5. Your teacher will not correct your compositions word by word, but judge them as a whole.v 6. You can know how to write good articles not through your teacher ' s correcting the grammar mistakes in your exercises, but through your daily practice and accumulation.v That' s to say, you will have to do many exercises for this subject ・(reciting, poems, song words. writing )Elements your Homework marks depend on 20'1. length3. organizationidea4.5. words and sentences ( use words you have learned in college, donot always use simple sentences)6. grammar7. after class readingall these are changeable, and they will change according to the focus ofwriting.
