Essay: Advice to my juniors

I failed writing Ⅲ class and writing Ⅳ class last year because I didn’t attend this class. I didn’t attend since last May, so I didn’t know what I should do. And in this class, not only attendance is important. You must write a blog in English. You don’t use Japanese. You must write a blog in English with more than ten thousand words in the spring semester, but you must write a blog in English with more than fifteen thousand words in the fall semester. You must write about two thousand five hundred words on your blog once a month. It is very hard for you, so you had better do it as soon as you can.
You have to do book reviews and typing homework once a week. A book review is summary of story. You choose a favorite book from the library in the university. Then you read it, and you summarize it, and you write about it and the author and publisher of book on your blog.
Typing Homework makes you improve your writing skills. You type about a theme and
The theme changes every week. You must type more than one hundred words in five minutes. Some of the themes are First classes, Music I like, My hobbies, Golden Week plans and How I study English. When you finish Typing Homework, you must send it by g-mail as a reply every weekend. You must not forget to send g-mail.
You also have to do essay about different themes. Some of the these are my treasure, My hometown introduction, and The worst day in my life. You must write more than three hundred words for each essay. I think that it will be hard when you don’t do it. And you must keep a diary every day, so it helps you. I want to a credit in this class this year. I won’t forget to do my Book Reviews, Typing Homework, essays and keep a diary. I’ll do my best.
