THANKS, Eriko

Thank you, Eriko. I am really happy to see your message.

Sometimes, I really miss our class. We did many activities together, novel project, lecture, saw each blog, did homework and writing in the computer room...... I miss all things. This was a valuable opportunity for us---together ten weeks.

TRY TO WRITE

Maybe, I really enjoy holiday too much. I feel I can not write.

I try to write a paragraph in English. But I feel it is not easy now. In fact, I can not stay in front of table for writing.

I really want to write something.

I hope I can not write. Maybe it is not now, but tomorrow.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THIS IS A QUESTION

Never believe plans.
In my plan, I would do some reading everyday, magazines or new papers, and do exercise. But in fact, my plan is fallen.
During these two weeks, I always played with my friends and stay at home to read Chinese novels on internet. I never do my plan and continue to study English.
Holiday really can forget everything…….

A2 FINAL EXAM: PRE-DISCUSSION

1.Should government be responsible for keeping consumers safe?


In my opinion, government should be responsible for keeping consumers safe. As the paper “A2 Final Exam: Pre-discussion” says “certain items in the marketplace can be dangerous and are regulated for the common good by the government.

For common good, it needs meet certain safety standards, especially food. Consumer safe is important for consumers. Sometime, consumers are dangerous to buy goods. For example, some automobile's companies want to sell their cars. They give wrong information to consumers. Cars are fast and freedom that make consumers buying the car for unsafe driving.

Many countries have a law for consumers safe. In my country, China has a law for consumers safe and March 15th is consumer’s safe day.



3.Should the business involved be responsible for keeping the consumer safe? What is the goal of business in society?


In my opinion, business should be involved responsible for keeping the consumer safe. Business must meet a goal in society that is not only for money.

In the past, some businesses want to sell their goods for money. They give wrong message to consumers. Fox example, cigarettes can make people comfortable; cars can move fast without rules; and color lollipops can give children different feeling. In fact, cigarettes are one of sources for lung cancer; many people die on car accidents every year; and pigment can harm children’s growth.

However, at present, business changes their goals. They are not only for money, but also consumer safe. Companies make “harmfulness for health” on cigarette boxes. Car’s qualities are quiet and comfortable seats. Lollipops are less sugar and without pigment. But businesses can not stop their production. They just change their ideas to show that goods are good for consumers. And consumers believe those goods are better than before.

Research Paper:

1. Do you think your writing has improved overall by doing this paper? Explain.
For the paper, I think I really improved my writing. This is my first time to write several pages in English. At beginning, I did not know how I can write even I had many information. After, I write ideas one by one; that make me feel better with paper. But some ideas still make me to stop two days. I feel, writing in English, it is not really difficult. You have enough information and organization well, you can write every thing you want.


2. What are some of the skills you improved in while doing the paper?Actually, my grammar is not good. So when I wrote I avoid using “have + v-ed”, because I did not know how to use. But when I finished my paper, I know this grammar. I used this grammar. Of course, teachers helped me to understand better.
In addition, I learn how to paraphrase, source and reference. Sometimes, I did not know how to use own words to write. Paraphrase is really helpful. When I wrote I always forget to put source. I did not pay attention on source. I was not use to put source. But now, I always put source when I copy from somewhere, even in Chinese.


3. How do you feel about your paper?
Maybe my paper is not perfect, but it is great. I did my best on the paper. When the paper was finished, I felt a new baby born. I am so proud of my paper.



Presentations:

1. Did you enjoy listening to the presentations?
Yes, a lot. I really enjoy listening to my classmates’ presentations. They were fun. I can learn and review some knowledge form classmates’ presentations. For example, I never knew medical topics. But I learn some medical topics from Alina, Hajj and Khuloud. Alice’s topic, I already knew it; it still make interesting for me.


2. What did you learn about presentation techniques while listening to them?
When I listening to presentations, I was thinking what I can do and pay attention on when I do my presentation. I am the last four to did, which made me think too much, such as, language, thesis, introduction, topics and questions.


3. What did you learn during the process of preparing for your presentations? Nervous, it was really nervous. I saw many presentation, they were so wonderful. I feel I can not look like them. So when my classmates did their presentations, I felt nervous on the seat.


4. Were you satisfied with you own presentation?
Yes, I satisfied with my presentation. Usually, I feel nothing during own presentation. But this time, I really felt better than before. I could feel I am not nervous during the presentation, maybe, I was really nervous sever days. And my speaking also was not too bad, I felt.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End




Many people said continuations are not good than the first. For Pirates of the Caribbean, I think At World's End is a good movie.

I am interested this movie. Johnny Depp plays this movie very well. I like Jack; his words and deeds are funny. In addition, a Chinese actor, Chow Yun-Fat, is in the movie. I like his movies. His gambling movies are collected by many people. He is a good actor.

I think this movie is legend. Many things can not be explained, such as Miss Fish (maybe), reverse world, Octopusman and his heart. Some parts of movie I can not understand, but it does not matter to watch. I feel sad that Will and Elizabeth can not together. They can meet each other, but not every day.

I think this movie will have continuation. Because Jack wants have a boat; he will go to Brazil. But I do not the continuation whether has Will and Elizabeth…..
