          This is the fourth week of the daily and weekly assignment. Eventhough I have been writing for 4 weeks, I'm still not that confident in writing. At first I did it just because I have to do it, but now I think I'm starting to give some interest in writing. It is fun to write something and post it on the internet.
          But as time goes by, it's getting a bit hard for me to search for and write interesting and bewitching news. I sometimes think of writing about politics, but I don't really understand politics (actually I'm not that interested in politics). So, I search for another news that is as important as politics news such as NASA's newest discovery.
          Although I have been writing for 4 weeks, there are still a lot of questions I want to ask myself about this subject. Are you a good writer? Have you written good news for people to read? What news are you going to post next week? Well, I think I'll have to wait until the end of this semester to find out the answers.

          This is the third week of the daily and weekly assignment. I'm really trying to do my best. I always write about the latest news, but I don't know if my grammar or anything else that is related to writing is correct. This week, I learn many things about writing: how to make a good sentence, how to make a good paragrah, and so on. This is really helpful for me.
          But the most important thing that I have to remember for the rest of my life is about dangling sentence. Sometimes, I make dangling sentences without realizing it. Eventhough I kept on reading my sentence over and over again, I often can't realize that it is a dangling sentence. This makes me so frustrated.
          I really have to understand more about it and try not to make the same mistakes again. And I will make sure that my next posts are error-free. So, please don't forget to leave your comment and read every sentence I write to make sure that I make no mistakes.

          This is the second week of the daily and weekly assignment. I was anxious about this assignment (like what I wrote in the first reflective journal), but as time goes by, I started to find this assignment interesting and fun. What makes this assignment interesting is that I can read a lot of news that is happening in the world. This makes the assignment more fun. And I also realize that there are so many things that is happening in the world.
          I didn't know about it at first, but then I read them one by one and this came across my mind: What have I been doing this past 19 years? Why was I so careless about the world? If I have read those news earlier, I would have been able to do something to fix it. For example, I knew that the earth's atmosphere is getting thinner, but I didn't know that it was worse than what I've expected.
          Because of this assignment, I am now starting to read any news related to the world and also the people so that I know what to do to make this world a better place to live. So, don't forget to leave a comment on every post I made so that I know you are reading this and you are also trying to make the world a better place to live.

          This is the first week of the daily and weekly assignment. I was anxious when Mr. Nugi gave this assignment, but now I'm kind of enjoying it a bit. I was anxious because I have never done this kind of assignment (writing on a blog). The first time I write on a blog was in grade 11 or 12. But that wasn't for the English lesson. It was for a computer lesson. The assignments are also different from the English one. For the computer assignment, I only had to copy articles from the internet and then post some pictures on it. But this one's different.
          In this assignment (English), I have to search for the issues that's happening or has happened in the world. But I can't just copy the article. I have to read it and then decide if that is the article I want to post on my blog. Then I have to write a paragraph about it (I also add a picture on every post). After that, I re-read it again to make sure I made no mistakes (sometimes I can be a little bit clumsy so I might have made some mistakes).
          After thinking carefully, I publish the post. This is the most nerve-wrecking part of writing. I'm not really confident in writing, because it's hard for me to get some ideas. But this assignment made me learn how to write properly and get better ideas.
          I hope that I can improve my writing skills so that I can give you all a nice and interesting article about the world. Don't forget to leave a comment on every post on my blog. I need some support from my readers so I can be confident in writing.

          The brains of those who are highly creative are literally hardwired in a unique way. But they can be dangerous for a relationship because they kind of live in their own world which is very different from others. It's better trying to understand them than trying to change them. There are 20 things that only highly creative people can understand:

          Not many people know what ghostwriter is, what he/she does, and how he/she does his/her work. Maybe some people say that ghostwriter is like a ghost. Not many people also know that some public figures launch their books through ghostwriters. In fact, ghostwriter is a person whose job is to write articles or books about other people. This seems simple, but there are a lot of things that people still don't know about this profession. Here's 7 facts about ghostwriters that people still don't know about:
