I went through 3 projects of ENG 194; the first is writing an email to a professor or an adviser, the second project is to interview a native speaker, and the third is writing a cover letter for job. I did these three projects successfully, and without any obstructs.
In the project 1 of writing an email to professor or adviser. I decided to wrote to my adviser and asked a question of complete the new student check-in. I was confused about an email from the International Students and Scholars Center(ISSC), I was been told I need to enter my personal information in a website called New student Check-in and I will lose my I-20 if I’m not do it. I thought my adviser should remind me this thing rather than the ISSC, so I had no idea why I need do that. I wrote this email to my adviser, and then I received an email from my adviser.
In an entire process of writing an email to my adviser, I think there are something I did not very well, for example, at first I didn’t know how to wrote an email with formal format, so I wrote a wrong format email led to adviser did not get my point and I sent at least 2 emails to her to explain my problem, then my adviser suggested me didn’t send multiple emails, because it will disturb her. I think I do not have enough consciousness of sending an email. Another thing that I did stupid was I asked my adviser’s phone number in order to talk her more convenience than send an email. I came to America for a few months ago and I thought call someone’s phone number is the best way to connect like China, but I was been told American like email each other rather than use a phone. I was ashamed that I asked for my adviser’s number.
Therefore, I wrote an email of the project 1let me know many things, like I...

Yangyang who also take ENG194 in the Tuesday with me and we were gave ourselves drafts to the TA who in the career service, because we were not sure we wrote a correct cover letter. As expected, we were not good in the cover letter, my errors of writing a cover letter are the wrong format, wooly-headed ideas, and verbal error. I wrote again when I came back to home, and I believe I can do it better than the first time.
To sum up, I got a lot of useful knowledge in these 3 projects. The first I learned how to write a formal format to others and should not write a multiple email. The second is that the problems should be connectional with each other in an interview. The third thing that I learned in the project 3 is how to write a good cover letter. To be a freshman I get a lot academic common senses from ENG194 and I think it is wort

Although electronic mail (a.k.a. email) is mainly used, at least in societies perception, for “quick” (and therefore not terribly important) conversations, I believe email has an important role precisely because it gets rid of the quick and unimportant details before face-to-face communication can take place.

My dislike for writing grew only stronger due to several teachers that religiously taught grammar rules and easy vocabulary. I
