In your reflection paper, address the following four questions:
Submit Assignment
First, describe your experiences, or your journey, learning English
• In answering this question, consider what has helped you learn English. Consider what you have accomplished. Consider challenges and failures and also successes and victories along the way. Consider what you are most proud of. Consider what valuable traits you have gained throughout this journey. (traits = particular qualities in someone’s character; someone’s characteristics, qualities, and/or skills)
• This question is about how you’ve learned
English over the years. You don’t need to include every step along the way; focus on the most influential parts of your language-learning journey.
2. Think about your writing in English when you started the academic ESL program and/or when you first started writing in English. Now think about your writing today. How have you grown as an academic writer in English? In other words, how has your writing improved?
Include specific examples/details to illustrate how your writing has improved.
3. Looking forward, what are your future academic and/or career goals? In addition, what do you want to work on in the future, in regards to your language and/or academic skills development? Be specific.
4.What advice would you give to future ESL 159A/B students? What are some lessons you have learned about being successful in completing a variety of academic assignments? Be specific.
• How would you explain to a future student what is important for being successful in
159A/B? What specific details or recommendations would you make? How would you explain the different aspects of taking both of these classes concurrently, while managing other classes and/or responsibilities?
Because you are writing body paragraphs, don’t forget to have clear topic sentences, development, and closing sentences and have cohesion to guide the reader through your ideas.
• When you see “consider” and “think about” above, you do not have to address all of these ideas! These are there to guide you and give you things to think about as you answer the three mandatory questions.
• This paper is a reflection on YOUR journey, so you will use first person (“|”). • Because this is a reflection paper, you are not required to include outside sources (citations).
• You should not use the internet for this paper/e
• Because this is a “reflection paper,” you do not need to write a formal essay with an introduction and conclusion. Instead, organize your ideas into body paragraphs that develop your answers to all three parts and reflect on your journey learning English. Explain your ideas and give specific details and personal examples to illustrate the point you are making.

I need to add more specific details to my paper, more examples etc. Also, fix referencing, for example, books should include pages if the idea is taken from specific ones.
The structure and main points should be the same as in the draft, and the referencing list can’t be changed as well (only maybe add a few more recent sources).
Also needed to rewrite the conclusion, where list the most interesting ideas and add personal evaluation of the main points.
Each paragraph has to pass an AI detector.
