Journal 5 (29/03/09)

Whole of my evening this week was spent doing research and writing the report. It took a lot of time to write the report because I wanted to make a good structure and sentences, so I write the sentence several time until I was satisfied. As the result of this effort, my reading and writing skills are improved and I am getting used to academic writing. I have read many books, articles and journals regarding herbal medicine and tried to analysis the information and think critically while I was reading. There were numerous information about herbal medicine in internet but the important thing is the ability of selection from many articles and need to decide whether it is useful or not. While I was writing I made a topic sentence and tried to write deductive style each paragraph.
On the other hand, I need to prepare the presentation about ginseng which was given to me in speaking class. The topic is relevant to the writing topic therefore I feel little less nervous and stressed. Anyway, I intend to prepare well and practice a lot before I stand in front of the class.
