Hello Baihe,

I hope this letter reach you well. How is your semester going so far?

I am enjoying my second semester of the freshman year. My RHET course requires

me to write a research paper. I am, really, excited about writing it.

Before I begin writing the paper, I should select a topic by myself. Although I haven’t decided which to choose yet, I want to write about education and violence. As a college student, I have plenty of accesses to information and experiences related to education. Moreover, the current condition in the states is unstable, and violence is happening all over the country; thus, I do believe it’s important to discuss the relationship between education and violence that might contribute a solution to this issue.

In addition, I have finished several critical responses since the beginning of RHET 105, and I also have received comments from Prof Marry. I did well in my style of writing, but the several elements from my writing were cliches which should be avoided in further writing. I would like to explore a new structure of my essay to improve my writing. I began reading writings from accomplished authors, and I hope this action can make me improve. Next time, I am going to use technology to correct my grammar and spelling errors before uploading my assignment to get a better grade.

I am looking forward to seeing you as a college student!

Best wishes,

Yige
