Reflections on English 125

125 English course was one of the best courses i have ever had. It was a new experience to me to write and post my writing into blogger.com so that my friends can log in and read my writing and post me there comments.

At the begging i thought my writing will not be improved but during the course i realised that my writing getting better. With the support from our instructor she showed me my weak area in the writing and i made some changes.

The most challenging part of my writing is the spelling. I need to improve this area and i need to work hard in it. its not sound difficult but its needs a hard work. Because the more rich vocabulary you have in your writing the better your writing.

At the end, this course was a first step to me to improve my writing but still need allot of offered if i would like to keep my writing level always up.

Hotels and motels are always the choice for many people who travel to any country because it is the most common kind of accommodation for travelers. Both of them provide of them housing and variety of service but still we have some different and similarities.


First, lets talk about the similarities.

Additionally, both hotels and motels have a housekeeping to service the guests at any time needed. Moreover, both hotels and motels accept alternative methods of payment such as cash credit card.


On the other hand, hotels and motels are quite different. First, hotels are much bigger than motels on the size of rooms or the size of building. Second, most hotels have more facilities such as conference room and spa and gym where in the motels they consisted mainly for smaller units chained together at the ground level that motorist could drive up and park to the door to their room. Finlay, motels are cheaper than hotels and they don't provide the same service as the hotels.
