My classmate Sofia always brings her small red notebook to class. She writes in it every day, not just during lessons, but even before class begins. She says, “Writing helps me remember things better.” At first, I didn’t understand why. We have textbooks and online lessons—why use a notebook? But one day, I sat next to her during a group activity. I saw her notes—simple words, short sentences, and even small drawings. She had written new vocabulary with meanings and examples. “It helps my brain connect the word with a picture,” she said. After that, I tried writing in a notebook too. I started with just a few words each day—new ones I heard or saw. Then, I added sample sentences and notes about grammar rules. It felt different from typing. When I wrote by hand, I remembered better. I also began using colors—blue for new words, red for grammar, green for useful phrases. Sofia inspired me to learn in my own way. She taught me that writing is more than just copying from the board. It’s a tool to understand and grow. Now, I carry my own notebook too. It helps me feel more in control of my learning. I learn a little every day, and I write it down to keep it in my mind and heart.
