Reflection The process of completing the whole assignment helped me in understanding English better especially in differentiating different types of essays and texts. The facts that there are differences between formal letters and also between the informal letters show that English varies in their formats of writing. I also gained the knowledge of understanding differences between a narrative and a descriptive essay. In addition, I also manage to gain some knowledge in using graphic

organiser and to utilise it in indentifying the main and supporting details. Thus, as an overall I have a new perspective towards the English essays and the way of writing English texts. (105 words)
