First entry

Hi! My name is Sijia Chen. I am an international student from Nanjing, China. I am a sophomore, and studying as a pre-business major student. Now I am thinking about becoming an Accounting major student, because my mother is a good accountant, and I also like it very much, even though my friend told me it is difficult. I like travelling so much. It usually gives me a lot of ideas to write about.

I am taking this class because it is required. Another reason is I really want to improve my writing skill. When I first came to the U.S., I was afraid of two kinds of classes. One is speech class, and the other one is writing class. I am a little shy, quiet, and not really talkative. I want to overcome this for sure. Remember I got my first blog about two years ago, I really liked to exchange ideas with my English teacher via blog. Using blog also helps me a lot about my English.

The type of my writing primarily gonna be paper and email. However, there is one thing I like to do is write in a diary. I write in it almost every day. It is not too long but beautiful, because it is not just some words put together. It is my experience and beautiful memory. I enjoy writing them and read them when I am by myself or at night time.

Finally, I think what I was written above are all my arguments. The purpose of an argument is to sway another person to believe what you said. For instance, I choose this image as blog's background because I like the old thing. They are very appealing to me. This is why I also like history. I argue these to convince you that I really like this design of the picture.

Professor Irvin, I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus, which I see as a contract for our course.
