註:文中英文為學生所寫未經修正之原文

第一次踏進寫作班教室,有一些拘謹。一直都是上會話、三合一班,對正式寫作班,有些怕怕。雖從W1開始,不過每一步都是挑戰。W1的老師NIGEL,一位有條理,凡事有耐心的老師。寫作基礎的W1是上基本句子、句型和文法。在三合一班的類似課程雖紮紮實實地上完了,但開始動筆時,卻錯誤百出。NIGEL很強調訂正的工作,所以作業是一定要訂正的。我也認為訂正很重要,如果沒訂正,下次一定還會犯一樣的錯誤。到W2,老師依舊,訂正依舊,只是內容加深了,不再只是句子。而是一段一段小文章(PARAGRAPH),用idea map組織我們想法,增加我們的創意。大家會先討論有關子題的意見,然後才在課堂上用三十分鐘做time writing練習。直到W3,老師由NIGEL換成STEVEN。一開始先被STEVEN給震懾住-他實在是長的太有壓迫感,不過後來發現他是一個頂有趣的人。STEVEN的教法,反而是最令人成長的。他很強調邏輯,他覺得一篇好文章是有邏輯,有想法的。這一期課程,我們模仿不同文章類型,STEVEN稱為「STYLED」,然後在time writing實際操作,還加大單字量。
我依舊在這裡,不曾離開。我知道我不夠完美,所以持續練習寫作。原本只是想拉開和學校班上同學的成績差距;而現在,寫出了興趣,寫出了小小的心得。在這裡,反而成了高三生活的歡樂片段。不只是一些許歡樂,還有成長…


 

Kojen is great place to learn English writing. It can be complicated but fun as well. During the last session—W 3—in Kojen, I’ve learned a lot of things that teachers in school do not mention: main premise, major and minor supports—everything you need when writing whether an essay or just a paragraph. Although they ARE hard to learn, teachers, like Nigel and Steven, give us lots of examples to show us different kinds of views to get to know these basic writing skills. Each single week we come to class, they always prepare different and funny subjects that we can discuss and share opinions with partners in class—and I really enjoy doing it—or to build up our editing ability. Writing is not only a way to organize our thoughts directly but a way we use to express ourselves smoothly. So, if you’re considering a place to learn or improve your writing ability, Kojen is simply your No. 1 choice.
