First when i took this course, i thought it'd be hard. However, after the class went through, i learned a lot of things. I learned how can i apply for a job. What papers should i prepare before appalling for job. I learned how to create a good
resume. I learned how to act in an interview
and what are the questions that i might be asked.
Moreover, I got used for presentations since i did that twice. I worked with a group for the second presentation which was really a good thing. I learned how to create instructions foe specific procedure.

I learned all these stuff by writing over and over because this class is all bout writing. I forgot to mention that i learned how to write an interesting topics. For presentation, I used to use Powerpoint for presentation but then i realized that there are other programs that create very interesting shows.

I am awesome now at using softwares on computer because that what technical writing is all about. I am good in writing since i did a lot of assignments which require writing and computers.

i was more polite when i worked in a group for the second presentation because all members were doing just fine. Everybody did his part completely and perfectly. Also, I learned how to use the economy of words which i did in everything i wrote for this course. All assignments were short but has the meaning. Writing a short paragraphs is very helpful for the readers.




Over all, I am now capable of using Prezi program, making interesting presentations, being a cooperative member on a team. In addition, I am good at writing instructions as well, writing reports, proposals, memorandum, resume ...etc.

Soccer
Off The Post is a very good football site that is dedicated to bring you all the latest news and views of soccer. It was launched in the beginning days of September 2008, when Manchester United and Manchester City were enjoying a tug-of-war over Dimitar Berbatov. Also,  when the world was shocked after  Robinho chose City over Chelsea.
