What do I want to learn/get from ARW Winter?

There are mainly three goals for my class in ARW Winter.

First, getting used to both read and write English text more.
I know that it is not so easy to achieve faster and maturer reading/writing skill, but I will try by keep in touch with English text every day.

Second, learning how to write good academic essay; terms and process of academic writing.
I have written my ELP essay in impromptu manner with no proof reading and no teacher's check.
Since we should write around 2000 words essay this time, I want my essay writing process more in a planned way. I will try to visit Mark as often as I can.

Finally, I want to speak English more fluently. I don't want to satisfied with least daily conversation level, but want to control the nuance of the word I speak; to make my own character while speaking English. In order to accomplish this goal, again making an opportunity to speak with Mark is important.
