Practice Extended Essay Reflection

I have written a practice extended essay for Integrated Humanities this year. My research question is “To what extent can investment appraisal in everyday product and green technologies  be understood using traditional factors such as risks and return ”. The content of the essay are economics and business. For IB next year, I choose Economics and Psychology. For writing this essay, it can help me a lot for the courses of economics next year and also business in the future. It can also give me a lot of experience for writing my actual extended essay next year. After writing the essay, I learn a lot about how to write the extended essay, but I also find lots of weaknesses while I write the essay.

On June.6th, I had a meeting with my humanities teacher, Mr. Paul Sharry. The meeting was based on the feedback of the essay. During the discussion, we fixed some problem which based on some grammar mistakes and uses of phrases. We found that the biggest problem is the using of the language problem. My sentences are not well organised a lot in the essay. Another problem is not focus on Investment Appraisal techniques.

My major weakness is language, which found out by Mr.Sharry. He gave me some advice to improve English. He suggested me to read more books during the summer vacation and try to learn more of formal language. For sure, I also need to remember to focus on the argument. I am easy to get distracted from writing about to the selected argument to another useless argument.
