Similarities and
differences between writing essays in English and Korean
Many
countries have their own culture. It is also same in college. Each college has
different method to teach and to develop the students. One of the methods is
writing an essay. But each country or college has different styles to write an
essay. There are similarities and differences between writing essays in English
and Korean.
Similarities
between writing essays in English and Korean is importance. They think that
students need to know how to write an essay because the essay is one way to
express their opinion in public.
Also,
there is much difference. The first difference is usability. Saint Norbert
College use essay a lot as the assignment. Also, they learn the method is
beginning of college. But in Korea, students do not have lots of homework
essay. They usually learn in some specific class or they learn at the almost
end of the college. In Saint Norbert College, students write an essay in
various area. But in Korea, they write almost in their major. The second
difference is the form of an essay. In Saint Norbert College has origin form of
the essay. College teaches this form to write an essay. On the other hand,
Korea doesn’t teach the form of an essay. So students usually learn from
another organization or learn from examples that other students write in the
past.
I think it is important to know how to
write an essay because it is important to express my opinion. But I like Korea
style better than the United States style because to express my opinion I need
a knowledge. Before I don’t know basic information, my opinion doesn’t have
reliability.
Interesting insight, Dean! Thank you! But perhaps the U.S. style is meant to prepare the students to be able to write when the time of "knowledge" comes. There are always advantages and disadvantages to everything, right?
ReplyDeleteWelldone Dean! I think learning to write essays early in the college will afford the student the competency needed in the outside world. This is because you have ample time to develop and perfect your writing skills before graduation. But if the student start learning to write essays toward the terminal year of college they would have less time for perfection, and so when they get out they will find themselves still struggling to write essays.
ReplyDeleteHi Dean, it is really interesting to know the differences and similarity between writing in your language and English. Also, I agree with you every culture or language has a different way to get person idea or thought. And writing essays is one of the most important ways.
