First assignment

         

This week, for the first time, I handed in my assignment.  We had a choice of the topics, and I decided to evaluate the key reform of the Education Reform Act 1988.  

       

My first thoughts about it were mixed because I didn’t know where to start.  Before I started doing my research I concentrated on the title. I examined word by word to make sure that I understand the meaning of academic writing. The academic writing is very formal, the language is different from the way we speak, or the way we write to our friends. 

      The next step was to collect and record important information, which focus on my topic. In my research I used academic books and journals. Most of them I had from university library.  

      Then, I started write it down my ideas on the paper.  Each new point I started in new paragraph, which helped me to organise my work. 

Slowly, slowly and my first assignment was ready !!!!

               

    Now, I have to wait patiently  ..... 

               to see how bad or good I done ;-)
