Reflective Letter

Dear Marilyn Dysart:

First, I want to thank you for your instruction. This is one of the first English

classes I have taken at DMACC. Learning from your lessons makes me feel like my

English is getting better step-by-step. After finishing this class I hope I can advance in

English.

For the first assignment that you gave to us which was about “Why I am Taking

This Class”, I had to write it into two paragraphs. It was hard for me because I did not

write too many paragraphs in English before. At that time, I could not help thinking about

what I had to write and how I wrote those paragraphs. However, your guidance and the

provided example paragraphs proved invaluable. They helped me envision the structure

and content of my essay, making the writing process much smoother. Writing the essay

about “Why I am Taking This Class” helped me understand my reasons even better. As I

thought about it, I realized that writing could help me get a deeper interest in the subject.

Writing it was not that bad, and it made me even more determined to achieve my goals.
 Then, the second assignment, writing a literacy narrative composition was a bit

more challenging. There was not any given topic and I had to figure out what I would

write about. After a few minutes of brainstorming, I decided to choose the “How I

Learned English in Vietnam” topic. Thinking about the way I learned English in Vietnam

brought back lots of memories. Nevertheless, this topic was not easy to write; “How I

Learned English in Vietnam” made me remember my past, and wonder which descriptive

vocabulary I should use to describe the details of the paragraphs. This assignment took

me a lot of time to finish. Although writing these paragraphs was difficult, it helped

improve my writing skills and vocabulary.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your engaging teaching and insightful

guidance. You have created a space where learning feels motivated and inspired, and I

appreciate your dedication to fostering understanding. I believe this journey will be

enriching; thank you for your leadership.

Sincerely,

Ky Binh Hua
