All what I know, any people can write, but not all of them can write in good writing. Including me, I also don't have any basic skill in writing. However these days circumstances around me encourage me to write a lot. In the class, I have many assignments related to writing, such as writing for classroom observation report, making a blog, etc. The goal of why my lecturers support students to write is the students can create some writing products of such as journals or books.
Talking about writing, I remember about my Writing Class in the first three months of my study in International Master Program on Mathematics Education (IMPoME). Although I just had some meeting in that class, this intensive English Course is useful for me. In that class I got some theories how to write some kinds of writings. The students in that class was given some examples of writings made by expert writers, so I and my friends could learn how to write in good way. We not only got material about theory how to write, but also we practiced to write. Sometimes we was given certain topic, and each of students had to write his own writing, other time we was ordered to write in free topic. In addition my lecturer in Writing Class ordered us to make a blog and write anything everyday. We could write our experiences, gave opinion toward news, movie, song, and any other topics.
