The Reaction of the Blogging Project

I like here in this blogging, because it gives us the opportunity to know eath other closely and easy to communicate with classmates. Also, I never use the English language to write in any blogs. Now, I posted nine, I can do it yet. I feel so satisfied and happy for my little writting in my blog. When my classmates came to my blog and commented my writting, I feel excited.

Very thanks teachers to encourage us to wrtting in this space, even writting a little bit information which make us learned a lot. I learned how to do the comment in other classmates' blog. And how important to see other people's blog, because I can learn the different writting style and the different organization.

Actually, this project should not be given marks, because we use English words in this way frequently which can improve this foreign language much. It is good for ouselves. But, personally, I would like to add marks for this project. xixi :) !!

SAQ for Two Articles & Reaction

5.Explain the role of dopamine in the gaming's brain.

The activity of the dopamine in the brain is effected by palying video game. Dopamine is related to human's movement,attention and learning. When people are playing the video game, these reaction is increasing and they will send the signals to the brain from the cell, which can make players feel happy. Also, it can be decrased the pressure.

1.According to the authors, teenage online players have a "number of serious social problems."Explain.

Teenagers wast a lot of time each day to play online game. Some of them want to escape the hurt or some serious problem from social. They try to focus on the virtual world,because there is nobody knows them, and nobody knows what they did things before in the real wolrd, even nobody can judge them when they get wrong way. They become a new start and more free in this virtual world. Additionally, the online game makes many risk and challenge for players to accomplish endlessly. Moreover, the players also can make friends online and manage their business. It feels like a small real world.In addition, peer pressure is another factor for teenager to play online game.

Reaction:

When i saw many teenagers are addictive in online game in these two articles, I thought something that related to my high school period. A half of my classmates were attracted by the online game crazy. Even now, some of them are playing World Of Warcraft. They were playing together, accomplished the risk and fighted with other groups. They spent a whole day in the Internat bar on the weekend. Some of student didn't come to school normally, and also some of them didn't go back home, even the parents visited to school to find their children. I think it is so crazy. Additionally, I heard that the boy in my class had a girl friend in the game, which is unbelievable and so surprising in that time. Besides, some of student did not take shower long time because thay would like to save the time for incrasing the level in online game. They usually ate one meal each day when they were playing their online games because it could waste money for them to spend on the Internet bar.

Research Paper

During the process of doing the research paper, I learned lots of things. Like how to find the information that I interested and how to choose the detail to support my topic. Additionally, organization is very important in the research paper, i try to make a connecting link between the first main idea and next idea. Although I do not write a lot of words like some classmates did, I am still satisfied. In addition, Lili and Lisa was working very hard for us, thank them sincerely. I am very appreciate that can be joined the Lili's group. Now, I feel I'm survived from "dies" when I finished research paper. Also,when I hold it, I am so excited, because this is my first time to finished almost 10 pages paper. I hope I can do the oral presentation very well.
If I had a chance to start over, I think I will do as same as what I did before. This is my nature.

Feeling about My Research Paper

The research paper is the bigest work in level eight. I cannot believe that I finished it. When I did the paraphrasing, I felt crazy and want to die. Anyway, I am relax a little now. Yes, I need to pepare to go to university. The work in University is larger than in level eight. I do it good now, i will do the paper better in the university. However, we have another big project(presentation) have to present next week. good luck, every classmates!

Discrimination

We watched video on Tuesday, it is discribe the information about discrimination in 1968.Jane Elliot is a very nice teacher and she tried to teach children that do not prejudice other student because of their different color ski or different color eyes. The first day, she saperate her students to become 2 groups, the one is blue eyes students, another group is brown eyes students. She said that the blue eyes students are smarter than brown eyes. Also,the blue eyes student did a excellent test. At the same time, blue eyes students feel sad and lose their confidences. The second day, the teacher Jane Elliot said that the brown eyes students are clever than blue eyes students. Simultaneously, the brown eyes students feel lonely. The children understand the feeling of discrimination, then they learn it and will not discriminate other color ski or eyes children at all.
In my opinion, discrimination shoud not be exist, because everybody need to be equal nowadays. However, it is difficult to change the way of prejudice and people thinking, because the discrimination is from old society or slave society and becomes one generation to another generation.

video and reading on population [mid-term]

In retrospect, the video compared 2 developed countries: Japan and the United States. There are the lower birth rate and aging problem in Japan. Because Japanese women pay attention on their jobs rather than raising a baby. Additionally, to raise a successful baby is so expensive. U.S.A also have the problem of population because of a large quantity of the new immigrations. On the other hand, the first author in the reading has been argured the second author who wrote a book points out that the population is not a peoblem. In the reading,some example of economic, agriculture problem is given to support the first author's opinion.
However, i think developing countries need to control the growth rate of population in order to give high quality of life to citizen.

Discuss the Novel Project

When i saw Alias Grace in the Chapter, i was so afraid of that i can not finish reading, because it is too thick. However,I felt a great sense of achievement when I finished it.

The most enjoyable phases of novel project is the written review, because it gives me the opportunity to looking back on the story. The attractive plot of novel is associated easily and very impressive.

The most learning phases of novel project is the presentation. I was so sensitive while our group was presenting. It is not good and i will improve myself and make it better. But in that time, i felt i was not respected, because i prepare the notes and practice seriously. Why someone was laughing when i was in the presentation? Is it funny or too stupid? I saw other classmates quite concentrative, even I told too much detail. Maybe it is not laughing at me, like teacher said, maybe it is for fun by his own cell-phone. Anyway, i am learning try to not focus this kind of thing. Additionally, with this experience, i am going to make the summary shorter next time.

Video Summary

Richard St. John mentioned that there are 8 factors that contribute people to become succesful which include passion, work, good, focus, push, serve, ideas and persist.

I agree with his point. He discribes that nothing comes easily, people need do hard working and all the good or perfect things are no magic which need practice, practice, prectice. People is difficult to push themselves because a lot of them are quite lazy. Therefore the mothers are enable to push their children to accomplish their ideals. But now, we live abroad, nobody to push us, which must push ourselves to manage our time reasonable and finish our work on time.

I also think that without ideas, it will be no motivator in the beginning. Because you start with your interesting idea which stimulate the process of research. Finally, these espacts are all related to persist because no persist, you'r going to be failure in the middle of your pursuit of success.
