During this semester, I have writing some essays. Writing the topic that I have interest in is an enjoyment even its need me put a lot of time on my paper. I research about how to write research paper, those website gives some points. Outline is important because it helps me to organized my paper, I have changed my outline a few times, each time the outline makes the central idea more clearly. For me the hardest part is how to connect the main idea with the research I did. Dream interpretation is an interesting topic, I can find a thousand of the resources but pick the article which is connect with my paper topic is difficult. Some resources are talking about dreams but not strongly connect with my topic and at some paragraphs which is not related with my topic. Thus, I got a short cut. Some articles have conclusion subtitle, take a look at the conclusion subtitle would save my time. At the same time, because most of the articles are academic paper, so they are not understand easily. Some paper I need to spend a day to read and understand the meaning. Especially the psychology paper, I was trying to conclude some idea which I know nothing about. I can’t conclude something that I don’t understand and my paper would lose logic. But luckily the paper gives some examples to highlight the ideas. Most of the information is compact as one article. What I’m doing is highlight the important ideas and examples from the articles. Next, put out the ideas that are relate with my topic. Because there has a large amount of ideas, thus I can’t conclude all the ideas into my paper. It is hard to select one or two ideas and demonstrate with details. The things that makes me enjoy is I have learnt about the dream during this assignment. Several days ago, I have used the method of interpretation dream to interpret my dream. I know why this idea is in my unconscious mind. The second thing that I concern about is grammar. I’m not good at grammar, so I go to the writing center which is helps me a lot. During the tutoring, my paper was correct and I have learnt some grammar. To improve my grammar needs a lot of practice and it’s a long term result. For solve this problem i need to visit writing center multiple times. Another thing that I learn from the writing center is the research paper needs a reference page not a foot note. The citation also has its own format. My tutor told me its better have more citation than less citation and I need to cite the idea which is not common sense, even the summarized needs the citation. Each paragraph’s subtitle is makes me suffer. Because I was trying to come up a sentence to conclude my points, it takes a while but I finished.
