Why I don't write


Writing is always being claimed as a tool use to express your stand or sometimes fight for justice as a weapon. However, being as a student, like me, although I love writing, it is difficult for me to take courage for the very first step.

"I don't write" does not mean I hate writing a lot. Through the course of Asian literature, writing comparison essay and journals help me to express myself as a reader and also an individual person. It also helps me to realize what is the difference between English and Chinese in terms of writing and how should I develop my essay which is very useful in academic writing.

However, writing is more than passion. After writing some essays and papers, I discovered that I have a very serve problem in grammar and use of words when I write, which should be learned in secondary school. It simply dampens my enthusiasm on writing as there is no person who could help me to compensate my problems after secondary school even though I want to since all the students are supposed to be prepared before entering university. Moreover, when I noticed that even though I was willing to write other than academic paper, I could find no one to correct my papers for numerous time only for improving my writing personally. Although it is manifest that it might be the most effective way to improve my writing, it might also be a heavy work and an unreasonable ask for instructors. Therefore, it becomes a common vicious circle which might not be my own harassment.
"I love writing but it frustrated me every time I write." I was the best sample of the sentence and I believed I am not the only one who would say the same.
