I think the important difference between English and Korean which is my mother tongue is structure. Order of English is Subject, Verb then Object but Korean consists Subject, Object then Verb. It is so confusing that i have to think again and again to write in english.
Aspect of english that makes me hard is Two-word verbs. It's about prepositions. Two-word verbs can be different by prepositions. I am really confused what preposition is appropriate.
I think i have to know lots of words to improve my english skill. If i didn't know many words, I would not read, listen, write and speak well. I can't express or understand anything.
Through this class, Professor Eric Benson have taught me essential words such as descriptive verbs and informative verbs. It is really helpful to me when i write an essay.
To me, criteria of Plagiarism is the most difficult thing to understand. I don't know from what to what is plagiarism. In my country, Korea is generous about the plagiarism. In my previous university, many students got a good grade as submitting a essay by making from some books without any citations. We have a concept of plagiarism but it is very weak and many people don't care about that. I think it's because of culture. If some koreans had been taught about the plagiarism, we would not be like this. For example, I was able to change my concept of plagiarism because I study here in america. That means the culture in each person's country affects their indication to plagiarism.
