Do I like towrite? Why or why not?

To be honest, I do not like to write as for academic writing. When I write an academic thing, I have to pay attention to writing styles. For example, we generally cannot use ''I'' in an academic writing, and a font, a size of words and margins are specified. To the contrary, I really like to write a blog or to keep a diary because there is no regulation of writing styles and I can write freely. I feel like coming up with more ideas and substantial contents in free-style writings than in academic writings.
Therefore, I want to make interesting and fascinating writings, taking this ELP class!!

Thank you:-)

Week1 Why did I decide to take this class?

The first class was really interesting!! Although there were few people who I knew in this ELP class, I gradually opened up to others by icebreaking games.

Today's main topic is why I decided to take this class. The answer is simple!! That is because I like Mark's style of teaching. He was my ARW teacher of last autumn. The interesting class is still vivid and after finishing freshman ELP, I felt that I wanted to take his ELP class again. Therefore, I signed up for it. His teaching style is really easy to understand even for the non-native speakers because he explains and analyzes what we are learning specifically but simply.

I am really looking forward to this coming sophomore ELP class:-)

Hello,BB mates. How are you?
This week, my schedule was so tight that I could not choose but manage one by one.
However, whenever i am with BB mates, i forget my tiredness or busyness and can relax and refresh!! On Friday, we we had an open-air class. It was wonderful and I enjoyed it. I still have a lot of homework or reports through June, but I wanna enjoy school life with my friends.
By the way, I don't know why, but I catch a cold and my voice is gone... ;( Help me!!

Thank you for reading.

read Aaron in places
Argumentation(subject, claim/assertion, evidence, assumption)

We learned what was academic argumentaion or how to make up argumentaion.
At first, I couldn't understand the difference between argumentation and quarrel or discussion.
But I gradually understood the composition. I wanna be get used to make argumantation.

Thank you:)
