Self-reflection letter
Subject: Writing
Dear Ms Hieu Thuy,
I write this letter to tell you about how I deal with writing section, its situation, and some recommendation to better it next semester.

I think that for each type of writing you should provide us THE WAY how to produce instead of its theory or something like that. As I said above, I spent much time reading samples of each kind to point out how to produce it. Although text book is...
