Room for Debate
This assignment was one of the most challenging paper for me. I couldn't decide the topic until to the last moment. When I talked to my Public Speaking professor about what topic I should use for my persuasive speech, she said what about your life of studying abroad. That it is. Then I started working on this paper immediately. As I was writing, all I wrote about was my own experience. So I went to online and tried to find some comments and statistics from expertise to support my arguments. Unfortunately, all of the online materials were talking about how much they spent in abroad and their personal arguments on why people should try study abroad. But what I need was objective information. Since I couldn't dig any useful information online, I came back to myself and tried very hard to dig my own mind. I tried to make my arguments sound as persuasive as I can. So the first draft was disaster. And I used it as my persuasive speech paper. While I practiced giving speech, I found many places needed to be adjusted. So I revised them and uploaded the draft 2.
One-Semester Memoir
I learned the lesson from the previous assignment that I must be careful when deciding the topic. So I listed all the topics which I was interested in. Then I tried to write down outlines for each of the topic to see if I can make extend the topic. After excluding one by one, I chose to write about the moment happened with my fiancee recently. Then during my Chemistry class, I wrote down the outline for this topic in details. And based on this outline, I expanded topic. When I wrote, I started by writing the climax part. After the climax, I wrote down what happened prior to the climax and after the climax. So I posted the first draft and I will revise it to post second draft.
