First of all, I liked to communicate (or just formulate my point of view) in Forum. This experience of social interaction was interesting for me. Secondly, it was nice, that hard and easy activities change each other. And it was interesting to formulate definitions of given terms and work on paraphrasing. At last, final text writing was useful not only for language skills improvement but also for the development of my writing skills’. (about the course ‘Academic Writing’)
