&lt;p&gt;This is very informal - were you asked to do an informal letter or an &lt;a id="KonaLink7" href="http://www.englishforums.com/English/QuestionsAboutLetterProfessor/zxzkd/post.htm#" target="_top"&gt;&lt;font style="COLOR:blue! important;" color="blue"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:blue! important;"&gt;essay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other than that, my main impression is that you haven&amp;#39;t really answered the question - only a few words about your impression of the class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I like your use of dashes -- they flow naturally and seem to convey your thoughts&amp;nbsp;naturally. Having said that your first sentence of using a simple sentence and following that with a question with&amp;nbsp; a dash to connect both is very interesting.&amp;nbsp;In your second sentence,&amp;nbsp;what follows the dash isn&amp;#39;t a clause, nor does it seem to link to the previous clause in a way that natually connects them but rather have done in a way that is connecting but rather distant&amp;nbsp;structually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can I use to learn to use a dash like you have done? I&amp;nbsp;looked at online sources for help but they don&amp;#39;t seem to go in detail about this punctuation mark.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway. My professor wanted to us(all class members) to sumit an first impression of his class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So here it is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;subject line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assignment#0 about BD3319 Information Management(Prof.Kim)&lt;br /&gt;(Management Information System)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Professor X. &lt;br /&gt;My name is ***. And this is a Assignment #0 you asked us to submit to you. &lt;br /&gt;Okay, first of all, I think it&amp;#39;s better start with a little bit about me.&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m a 25 years old. and Junior of this university.(Is this right expression? I mean I am third grade of this university.) also my major is business administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUT!! I studied aerospace and mechanical engineering for 2 years, until last year.&lt;br /&gt;and finally, I fiured out that I AM NOT GOOD AT THIS, AND I DO NOT LIKE ENGINEERING!!&lt;br /&gt;So, I changed my major to business. &lt;br /&gt;Therefore, this semester, I registered in 6 required classes. And this class is one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, now you might realized that I don&amp;#39;t have any background of this area.:-)&lt;br /&gt;But, I really DO like this stuff. I like reading books, talking with people, discuss about various events. And also I am ready to soak up every information you can give to us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, that was little information about me.&lt;br /&gt;and my first impression of this class is that &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s all about collecting datas, so that people who may concern can using that data to make a decision or change their plan or something like that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s it.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, please give me any advice or correct any mistakes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much!!&lt;img src="http://www.englishforums.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
