Blogging Project

I like this blog activity because we can interact with our classmates. I can see what my classmates wrote and their opinion. I learned different thought from my different classmates. The impotant thing is that I can make a comment after I read the work on their blogs. I realize that the reason for i write faster is that i practice on this project. So this is very useful and fun activity. It allows me to practice writing and reading. I even think further if i were a teacher in the future, i would assign this work to my students

In my opinion, marks should be assigned to this project. This is because some students do not want to participate, others might think it is only 5 % of their total score. If marks were not counted at all, there would be few participants on this project. Then, students who are interested in this project do not have enough participants to interact.

Advertising!!!!

What a wonderful street!! Personally, I like to see advertisement even though sometimes i did not care about the commercial message. We all see somethings new all the time, It is cool!!! It really helps to revitalize our lives. Think about when we are stuck on the traffic, but we are enjoying the advertising from boardbill beside the street.

What an annoying on the internet!!! I do not like pop up. It is too much.

Having done the research paper, I did learn so many things

What skill did I learn?
I learn how to integrate information from different sources and organize it in one main idea. Don't you thing so!! It was so amazing we did that. Making a plan is important for me a lot. Otherwise, i do not know how i am gonna start. It would have been so messy. That helps me what i am going to write. Of course, i improve my english a lot. I think, it is the big improvement. I write faster than before. I spend less time to have my job done. I time myself, i spend the same amount of time to study, but i produce more work and good quality. Probably, i did learn the writng technique such as free writing.

What did I learn not to do?
I always think too much before i start writing. I always do not realise about the readers who might not understand what i write. I did not clarify enough. I should not write something only I understand. I never think about my readers.

How do I feel?
I think I am satisfied with my improvement. I feel so stunning to have my research done so well organize, in my opinion because it was the first and the longest english paper. Beside my english, I chose the topic in which i am interested. I can also listen to my classmates with different topic and different style of presentation.

My research "Negotiation Skill"

So far so good.... Actually, I do not know how much I have left about my main idea. I need to see the number of pages i have written and i will write. There are too many strategies and now i am trying to choose the one that we can adapt to use in our lives in some situation. And of course i want to talk about the qualities and skill needed to be a suceesful negotiator. But we can write about 15 pages and we have a limit time.

Anyway I feel motivated to work on this topic. It is interesting. We will see.... Good luch everyone.

My mathematics literacy

During the time in grade 1 in Elementary school, students had to sleep after having lunch 2 hours later. I often was woken up by my teacher. She asked me to correct the error of mathematics homework. Then, I tried hard to revise it. Also, I was sometimes punished not to do the homework because I hated it. I did not pay attention at all in the class. I really neded help; otherwise, I would be punished by standing outside the class with one leg for 1 hour. As a result, I had to ask my older brother to teach me how to solve the mathematics question. It was very easy, but I could not do it at all. I was upset because he did not help me anything. Thus, when I went school, I had to wake up during that time again and again. Finally, by the end of the session, I got the grade which was lower than 50%. My parents knew about my problem, but they did not have time to help me.

Then, during vacation, I had been living with my aunt, my brothers, and my cousins for 3 months in other city. We all had to play a role as students and my aunt had to be a teacher for mathematics. There was the rule that if the person got the worst grade for all of us, one had to clean the bathroom which no one desired to do. We did a lot of quiz. After that, my aunt evaluated from all the quiz and calculate the point out of 100. I was so happy that I was not the worst one. And the fact that my aunt played this game is that I could improve my mathematics. It was fun, and I learnt a lot of technique of solving the mathematics questions.

Once the new session had started, I never was woken up again. I did well for my mathematics subjects. And I loved studying mathematics. I got the top grade in the class almost every session. This is how I had mathematics literacy.

The World Population

I feel optimistic about the future in terms ofpopulation in many aspects. First, our quality of life have been improving because the advance of technological medicine. People are living longer in their life time than in the past. According to the video of world population, the life expectancy in Japan of men and women are higher because people care about how they are living in reality. Second, since the rising number of population leads to many problems, all countries realize the problems and they will have to collaborate one another. That is, the rich countryes can support and help the poor countries. The poor countries having natural resourses will be sacrified for distributing those resourses to the rich countries in many ways which depend on their negotiations. So, they are all together to improve the problems.

I feel pessimistic about the outcome of the boom population in the world. This is because our food supply are limited and not balanced with the whole population. We would be starving in the future. Another reason is that I do not agree with abortion for sex selection. It is so awful. We need to care about the babies being born in the future, but they have no chance to choose. Last, the problem of prostitution is caught my attention. The prostitutes should think about after having sex with many men. They could contract the HIV/AIDS. Even worse if their children cold get infection from their mother.

What should be done for the world poplation has many aspcts. First, people should be educated in order to be cometent. Then, when they are entering labor force, they will be able to work effectively. And companies will improve their productivuty. Secoond, Family plan campaign should be launched in all part of the world, so the number of population will be slower. Third, government has to be a part of this problem to support all the infrastruture and other service that can boost people' life. Last, donation is a great deal concean of the problem. The rich coountries should donate some money to help their neigubour. People should care about people.

Improving Academic Performance

Having read this article, I found it was so interesting. I definitely agree with all the points. When I was a freshman in University, I was absence in chemical class often just because I did not like the teaching method of my teacher. I understood nothing every time when I attended the class. As a result, I got D which was the worst grade. I crammed before I had exam. It did not work. Because of that subject, I changed the way of my studying. I found the way to improve my studying technique on my own experience. I attended class often and took notes in my own words. It was so useful that I did not need to study hard before I had final exam. And the most important things was that teachers always emphasie which part was important, so I focus on that chapter a lot, highlighted the main ideas, and did my short note before having exam. While I was doing the final exam, I was smiling and was able to do all the questions very easy. I realized that the questions that were asked were described in the class. So my notes was so helpful. I got very good grades throught all subjects. But I still had a problem with time during pursuing my degree. I found that i spent too much time to make my notes and then i did not look at them as much as i had spent my time to take notes. It was useful obviously, but i did not have time to award myself that much. I sometimes rote. And that was very time consuming, then, some chapthers I did not have time to memorized. I was so upset becuase I the chapters i did not read was on the exam. However, I did learn improving acdemic strategies and adapt it for myself. I feel comfortalble but the thing is I am lazy sometimes and I am distracted by too many temptations at home and with friends...... It is still OK... I got my schedule to remind me.
