[ 写作点评 ]　 My Journey with Reading and Writing

My Journey with Reading and Writing

　　 There have not been many obstacles that have gotten in my way for me to be a successful reader. I am able to confidently read many books. The only reason why I have trouble in reading a book is that the book does not hold my interest.

　　 I feel I have become a more mature reader since high school. Reading experience leads to reading success. That’s my opinion. I used not to be able to focus when I read, but I feel I am a focused reader now. I can easily tell the meaning of a story and find no difficulty understanding. I am proud of myself.

　　 Reading a lot could help writing. I might have the potential to be a good writer someday. People praise my writing skills when I write something long. That makes me feel like a real writer.

　　 However, instead of literature, my parents expect me to study medicine when I come to college. I won’t forget my dream. I will keep reading and writing. Maybe one day I could be both a good doctor and a good writer.
