What are your goals and/or expectations for this semester?

This is my first semester studying in Butte College, so there are many things I can learn. First I want to learn more about writing skill, and also I need to practice my grammar. Those are important to me because we have many classes I need to write essays or paragraph. My English is not good; sometimes there has mistake or wrong that I need to focus and change. Essays are not easy to write, and there are many rules we need to watch out for. When the word tense is wrong, then the entire sentence will be very strange because people will be confused.
It is not easy to understand all the grammar, so people have to always think about that. There are many ways to remember the grammar. Like my friend told me he had take English class in his country, and the class just told them to recite all the grammar then gave them tests. But I think it is not good for people because grammar is always changing, sometimes it have special rules we need to think about. How can people remember all things? But I have another friend who told me a good way to learn the grammar. He told me just to write more essays or paragraph, and then read write the essay again. Then you can easy to understand the rules and remember it. So I will keep to writing the essay, and also focus my grammar to make sure all the rules are correct. When I need to write a long essay, I will not always have to worry about the grammar.
