Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me
that writing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments __1__ it. They
find the writing process __2__ and difficult.
How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- __3__
English, with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like
living in an __4__ mansion (豪宅) and never leaving one small room. When I meet
students who think they can't write, I know as a teacher my __5__ is to show
them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency while providing the
opportunity inherent in any writing activity to __6__ the moral and emotional
development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write
in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done __7__,
just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills
improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence
and __8__ after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach
to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they
are practicing for their future academic, political, and __9__ lives. They build
skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed
legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their
journals puts them a step __10__ to fluency, eloquence (雄辩), and command of
language.
