I am currently struggling with CBEST Writing because I'm an international student and have so many issues in writing process especially grammar. Please help me out!!!!

Prompt: Think of one course taken in highschool that has had particular significance to you.

When I was in High school, my favorite subject was the Korean Literature. Most friends of mine used to fall asleep in the class because they felt the subject was boring and old-fashioned. However, my eyes were widened and I felt excited as the Literature class has started. I thought the subject was leading me to the new world that I had never experienced before in my life.

Through the reading of variety genre of the Literature, I could feel my ancestor's life and culture in the specific era. Especially in old poem, I noticed their values such as loyalty to the nation, religious attitudes influenced by shamanism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Moreover, people started to write an essay which is more narrative and descriptive based on their usual life. Through the reading, I could feel their sorrow, happiness and depicted love of nature and man. For me, it was fascinated to find out someone's feeling through out the short piece of the Literature.

As well as reading and analyzing others' masterpieces, my teacher, Mrs. Lee asked us to create some of the writing based on the characters of the Literature that we learned in the class. Sometime, I pretended to be a soldier who was filled with loyalty towards the Kingdom and described my emotions in the short poem. In addition, she made us to write a love letter to the main characters in the Literature. At the first time, students including me complained to the teacher because we were not familiar with the work. However, through the writing processing, I learned and practiced how to imagine other people's status and emotions.

Reading and writing process in the Korean Literature subject was one of my communication way to the world and history. I could access to various styles of Literature in different ages from old times to the modern ages. It always refreshed my thoughts and feelings during the school years.

Hi
i am also preparing for cbest, it is hard so don't loose hope just keep practicing, i think in the end that would help us.

In your essay your usage is ok and things are not clear so try writing it more clear, your story should be clear in one reading[font#FF0000]
[/font]
Other flaw which i found was you were not sticking to the thesis sentence or topic, At the begining it was korean langauge, later you ended up with benefits of writing and reading.
Instead you were suppose to say about the subject which you studies back then, liked and has some positive effect or has influenced you.

Thanks

Good Luck
Shalini
