During these last two weeks I had focused on trying to write and type a larger amount of text, as opposed to just medium length sentences. As mentioned in my previous bi-weekly reports, I wanted to be able to take my newly strengthened ability to write moderately long sentences and push myself towards writing short paragraphs. Much of my ability to do this was reliant upon me working with my language partner to get a better understanding of what to write about and also to have someone check my work.
Admittedly, while I felt comfortable writing long sentences, I was almost certain which was the right sentiment in hindsight - that I would make a few mistakes in writing paragraphs. The task I used to begin writing short paragraphs was based off of a reading assignment - language partner read the paragraphs to me, albeit in a slower than fluent tone as I did not know some of the words, and I wrote them down. The primary challenge in writing the short paragraphs was trying to determine how to spell the words I did not know and the tenses.
