reflection blog

How time flies!!! This semester will be ended in the next week. Honestly, I have learnt so much from this class. The 396K class tells me how to be a college student. Initially, I just thought it is so easy to get an A. In fact, I was wrong. Actually, for the first and second project, I missed all the reponses to finish and lost many points. Fortunately, I met my professor soon and she told me how to do it. Also, she encouraged me to work hard. I am so thankful for my teachers.
Project 6 is my favourite because of this topic. Frankly, the most attractive things for me in America are its famous universities. I spent five hours for this project. In the end, I got a full score for my work. I was very happy. Actually, I do not have a least favorite because I learnt a lot from all of the projects.
I like this class and I will never forget this semester.

Writing in different languages

As we all know, China has a extremely long history. When I write in Chinese, I always think about if it is has a traditional way to describe. Moreover, I always quote ancient poems, such as poems of Tang dynasty and Song dynasty. Also, I use famous words said by great people in the Chinese history. It is colorful because there are so many ways to express my idea. But in American English writing, I always think about the grammar of sentences and the vocabulary I use . Mostly, I just need to confirm that if the paragraphs I write is correct. That is why I usually realize American English writing is boring. In my opinion, it is because my English is not good enough to make a perfect article. Fortunately, in 396K class, I can use photos, images and many other ways to help me finish a project because most of them can present parts of my opinion. I like English writing and I will always practice my writing in English.

The differences between American and Chinese in doing research

Nobody can deny that it should be very easy to do a research for student in China. The reason is because most teachers just want to get your homework as the result but not to consider the origin of them. Maybe the situation is being changed in China, in my opinion, it is totally different in America.
In America, The plagiarism is treated more seriously than that in China. For example, for my experience in America, I did not know how serious the plagiarism is in America when I just came in America. In a writing homework, I just used some sentences from the Internet and did not mention the origins of them. What is more, I just copied them into my article and never changed them at all. For a result, the teacher punished me very seriously. From that time, I started to recognize this situation in America. Additionally, in newspapers or every kind of magazines, no matter how short the article is, they must type on the authors' names or their origins. I am so glad to see that. As people focus on protecting the copyright, more and more articles are being published by the talent authors. Also, everybody is honest for their study or anything else.

a picture to show you


It is a terrible dream to remember the situation of the World War Two. We often talked about the disaster made by the Nazi. However, I have not seen such a nice picture to describe the ugly Nazi until I find this one. In this picture, the symbol of the Nazi is played by many kinds of evils, even Adulf Hitler, the biggest criminal in the twentieth century. At first, this picture makes me sad and I do not want to watch it any more. But when I think about the meaning of it, I think it is necessary to show it to you. It is the history that tells us the importance of peace.

How you use technology, and how technology has affected you.

Every time when I think of technology, It always remind me of computers. Indeed, our life has been changed by them. For me, I would like to use computers to enjoy music, write essays and play computer games. Also, I like to surf on the internet. In this modern time, a computer is necessary for everyone I think, because its influence is extremely deep and wide.
For example, we usually use computers in our classes. We use PowerPoint in our presentations and we always print our homework by computers.
We need technology, we need computers. They are so important for us...

My family

You can say that my family is normal. Indeed there are three members as the same situation with most other families. My father is a policeman. He is an outstanding man. Not only he is charming, but also is his humanity. Now, he works on a important position. Best wishes to him.
My mother is an accountant. She is so beautiful. Although she do not always cook in the home, nobody can deny that she has an excellent skill of cooking. What is more, she hold a beautiful mind.As a woman, in my mind, she is perfect. Mum, I love you.
As the hope in the family, I try to do the best myself. Also, they are proud of their son. From my childhood, I always was the best boy in school. I am good at science, music, sports. Almost whatever I am interested , I do well in. I got the first prize in the math Olympics and I am the best singer in the singing competition in our school. My dream is that I can own my company and spread the products all over the world. In addition, I want to spread traditional Chinese culture to influence the world deeply.
This is my family, a common family. But I think it is different one because we have strong mind. We love my family. We will enjoy our family forever.

Beginning

I do not know why I need to add this blog without the three credit scores. Actually I want to continue my journal in chinese because that is my favourite. Comparing with chinese, English is so simple to express many aspects, I mean, many similiar sides. Anyway, I have to write in this blog so I will keep doing.
I have many interests, you know, such like mathe, music and sports. I like literture, too. I used to write essays which are popular in my high school. But I do not like to write a long article, for example, novel. I think it will waste my life because we do not have enough highlights to say.
