Telling stories about ourselves is a fundamental human activity. This subject is for those who want to put those stories into writing, to write autobiography. People often assume that putting your life down on paper is easy, but actually there's an art to it. In this subject you are introduced to some aspects of that 'art': structuring your life story, deciding what to put in or leave out, getting a perspective on yourself, and more. The main emphasis will be on prose writing. We also cover some more general issues that will prepare you for later studies in English.
