Greetings!!

Welcome and thank you for visiting my online portfolio for ENGLCOM. In this site, you will see an online portfolio of different types of essays naming: two Reflective essays, a Process Essay, a Static-Descriptive Essay, a Comparison and Contrast Essay, a Cause and Effect Essay, a Definition Essay, and an Argumentative Essay, done during my second term here in De La Salle University- Manila.


Writing is a very important aspect of people’s lives since this is one form of communicating with other people. It does not only enable you to communicate with other people that are far away but also enables you to express your thoughts and emotions through pen and paper. When you practice writing through writing activities, this drastically improves your English writing skills for the reason that I believe in a saying that says, “Practice makes perfect”.


I hope that you will enjoy what I have prepared for you. :)

“Reflective Essay: Exit Level”

First of all, I lack a lot of competencies in reading and writing in English since I do not practice it frequently. However, ENGLCOM made me realize that reading and writing are very important parts of my life in order to express further what I intend to say.


After undergoing a process of learning in ENGLCOM, I realized I had an interest in writing as well as reading. Now, I can organize effectively my essays and grammar with the help of this course. I improved on my spelling, sentence organization as well as develop my way of thinking and penmanship since this course focused more on writing different kinds of essays and had strict rules on writing my essays, thus improving my writing skills a lot.


Since ENGLCOM was new to me, I expected a lot things to be done during the term such as public speaking, writing poems and essays as well as the thought of this subject to be boring and dull. Writing was indeed done throughout the course; however, other expectations such as public speaking and a lot of research were fortunately never done.


ENGLCOM is indeed a very helpful and important course for us even though business is very different from writing literature. This course made me improve a lot on my writing skills, which are important in expressing the thoughts I intend to convey. In effectively writing essays and such, ENGLCOM has helped my reach my goals in changing the way I act, full of negativity and lameness, toward reading and writing. Before, I had a hard time in constructing essays but this course assisted me in my weaknesses through teaching effective methods such as constructing a topic outline and citing sources for my essay. I am very thankful for this course because it really helped me understand a lot of things that I did not understand before when it comes to writing. That is why I will not forget this subject for the rest of my life.
