Last Monday, our English lecturer asked us to write a 300 words essay. A new lecturer, not Mdm. Q. It's an assessment, assessing our English proficiency.
300 words? Not that much. Or so I thought.
300 words looks little on computer, but writing 300 words on paper? It's a lot. Imagine writing 300 words, edit, re-edit, as it's getting messy with correction tapes and crosses, I have to rewrite the whole essay. And it took me 45 minutes.
On computer, it's easier. With spellcheck, (yes, thanks to Mr Dyslexia) and the ease of edit and reediting without those pesky correction tapes and crosses, I could finish 300 words in 15 minutes, if the idea keep on running. Longer if I have writer's block. And no, I don't have writer's block when writing the essay.
I wish we could just type our essay instead of writing one. But that would be considered as cheating with spellcheck and grammar-check.
