EAP 145 - HU, Weili - Week 1 1/3

Today, I start my EAP 145 which is nine weeks journey.  I met my new teacher and classmates this morning.  At the beginning of EAP 145, I recognize that the differences between EAP 140 and EAP 145. At first, in EAP 145, there are more writing assignments that students need to do and students are going to try harder in their writing.  I obtained a number of assignments such as independent study assignments.  Secondly, the same as EAP 140, students are asked to write blogs every week; however, students are able to write anything what they want.  Besides of these, it is very important to practice ability of summary in 145 because students need to understand the main ideas of articles rapidly in university.  There are five effective ways to summary an article perfectly.  The first, divide the article into sections. Then, read carefully and make some notes.  After that, write the main ideas down through using own words.  Finally, go through again.
