I am Korean which mean I speaking Korean as a mother language. I think a writing English essay always hard work to me. I am not good at writing even Korean writing. This is why I choose engineering as my major, just calculate something. Between Korean and English have different grammar structures. In Korea, we use subject, object and then verb. It looks like odd in English speaking countries, because English grammar use subject, verb, and then object. Also, Koreans understand without subject, because we usually use it. However, English use subject with verb to prevent confusion. Not only structures but also I have many problems in English writing. Other great trouble is expression. There are many differences between mine and English essay. For example, I think "to meet new people" about starting a new relationship but it is not, and it is expressed "new acquaintances". So, I think I have to improve my grammar skills at first. Horning grammar skills give me window of opportunities to understand English writing. Through class, not only that I have to use citation or credit to prevent plagiarism and importance of intellectual properties, but also that I learn useful verb, descriptive and informative.

In my opinion, especially culture play important role as plagiarism. this is because, in Korea campus life, I did not have any concept of plagiarism before here. plagiarism is not big deal in Korea university. Just few student use citation, otherwise many student illegally use other author's article, so did I. No one no point out writing which do not mention references even clearly exist authorship. Thus, we cultivate few plagiarism or ignore notion of it. However, these concepts are not complicate after understand. Essay written by others is not mine, so if I need to use others, just mention it because it is not mine, and thus I can be set free from plagiarism.
