Hi, I am Jimmy. I think it is a little bit contradictory when you are an English major student but also an introvert. English was not my major originally, but as I dived into some western series and movies, I started to gain motivation to polish my English skills. It was a rough journey. However, by reading several articles, it enlarged my vocabulary, enhanced my reading skills, and helped me to know authors' point of view. Nevertheless, most of the articles are designated by schools, most of the materials are distributed by teachers. It is always difficult for me to find the topic that I am interested in. Therefore, I may consider myself not a reader. However, I eager to expand my topics, reading different theme-based articles. I often curious if that is the right way to find exciting articles, I just afraid that I am keep making mistakes, ending up skeptical of every step I made.
In my leisure time, I like to appreciate different art materials, such as paintings, movies, and music. By doing so, I could feel a sense of comfort. By the way, one of my most beloved interests is to solve jigsaw puzzles.
This curriculum is just about reading and writing. I am looking forward to expanding my horizon, sharing thoughts with others and finding interesting articles by engaging in this course.
Hi Jimmy!
ReplyDeleteWhy do think is contradictory? Many of my friends who have major in English are very introverted, and from my perspective that it's closer to the stereotype of reading nerds, isn't it?
I believe that finding what is interesting to you is somehow like listening a whole bunch of different songs. Some of them are ok, some are "next, please!", and others stick with you. Maybe it's the rhythm, the lyrics, the instruments, the tempo or the artist. To get to know more, you need to expose yourself more, and it is perfectly ok to say "next" if book or article or movie doesn't "click" with you.
I love jigsaw puzzles! I made a Batman shaped puzzle of Batman (dah) some months ago. I want to frame it, but not sure if to use a traditionally square/rectangular shape or try with a Batman shape as well. Don't you think that puzzles offer stories too? It's like a snap moment, a glimpse of a story, shown as a photograph or a painting.
