The course in Academic Writing from this semester arouses certain expectations. First of all, I expect that I will find out what Academic Writing is and in what way it differs from other types of writing. I believe that I will understand better its structure. Secondly, I hope that I will improve my writing skills due to this course. I suppose I will use technology which helps to improve writing skills very much. I think that the teacher will provide me with many different examples of good pieces of writing. In addition, I will be able to analyze them and pick up some main points for my writings. Thirdly, I strongly believe that I will realize finally how to connect my ideas logically in such a way to get a coherent text. In the end, I hope that I will be capable to produce good pieces of writing which will be understandable for everyone. (154words)
My dear friend, I really like your new post. I like the way you have connected the sentences using " First of all ; secondly ; thirdly; In addition." . Also I like the way you use the future simple with the meaning of prediction, and I want to say that your prediction will become true because you are a hard - working student and also a smart girl.

Dear Alina, the improvements are clearly seen. Yet, there are some mistakes to be corrected.
RăspundețiȘtergere- 'its structure' - whose structure? Be very careful with 'it', 'this', etc. The reference should be clearly seen, whereas it is not quite clear here what 'its' refers to.
- 'due to this course' - sounds a bit redundant, you could exclude it.
- 'helps' - why have you used present simple? Is it a fact? Or maybe it's still a prediction?
- 'in addition' - is this the right connector to be used? Consider 'thus' and its synonyms.
- 'writings'?
- why do you use 'thirdly' and 'finally' together? If it's the final idea then use 'finally'. Yet, the next sentence begins with 'in the end'. Think about it. Be also careful where you place the adverb 'finally'.
- are you sure the preposition is 'for'?
