Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments require it. 36 How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- especially English, with its rich vocabulary. 37 When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my mission is to show them the rest of the rooms. 38 Also, I need to provide the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
__39 Writing needs to be done daily, just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
__40 When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, or the perfect love letter etc. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step daily to fluency, eloquence(雄辩), and command of the language.
A. I need to build fluency
B. Writing ability is like strength training
C. They find the writing process painful and difficult
D. Only if you have excellent writing skill can you succeed
E. A teacher’s task is to help the students build confidence in themselves.
F. Being able to speak but not write is like living in a big house and never leaving one small room.
G. Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students.
