How have you started writing in the target language? Do you prefer to type or write free hand? Have you started to see patterns emerge in the structures between words, clauses, and sentences? What is the relationship between simple and complex sentences? How does your knowledge of parts of speech, government, and agreement affect your ability to communicate in written contexts? Provide a sample of several short meaningful writing exercises from your target language.
Since my first Korean class, I started to write in Korean because if you want to know how to pronounce the word in Korean, it is essential for you to know about how to write it. At first, I just write some simple words on the blackboard and now I can write simple sentence in Korean. For me, I am not that good at writing right now so I prefer to write with my hand so I can remember the words and the characters more clearly. On the other hand, if I type Korean a lot, I will really heavily on autocorrect instead of trying to find mistakes by myself. Then I will never realize that I did something wrong.
I have started to see patterns emerge in the structures between words, clauses, and sentences since I started to write lone sentence. For example, in the class, as the practice, we will write down sentences such as I just went to the dining hall to have dinner, what did you do? This sentence might be really easy for us to write in English, but it is really hard for me to write it in Korean since there is pass-tense and it is long. It is hard for me to figure out how to combine these words in one sentence in right sequence.
