The helpful class activity

I think 30min essay is a very helpful activity to improve our writing skills. In this semester, 30min essay is a test, but in the last semester, I wrote 30min essay every week during the class. It was so difficult to write 5 paragraphs essay in 30min at the first time, but I was getting used to it and finally I could finish to write a essay in 30min. To finish a essay in 30min, I had to brainstorm in 5min, make short outline and organize my ideas quickly. I practiced these skills every week, so at that time I felt that my writing skill was improving. And, it was so helpful to take a writing test like Toefl and Michigan. Now I just write a 30min essay when I have a writing test, so when I have a writing test, I am so excited because this is one of opportunities to check my writing skill.
