1. Reflection of “Basic abilities for a successful study in college”
After watching this video, I think to be globalized is very important. Our society is a global village. If you don’t notice the world’s news very often, you may be less competitive than those who know enough information of the world. What’s more, be able to learn is very important as well. Having knowledge can help us express our thoughts efficiently. However, we must have the courage to voice for ourselves. Let your voice speak out loudly so that people will hear your thoughts or problems. Last but not the least, good characteristic can lead us stepping on the right way in our lives. I agree that extreme thoughts will easily let people do harm to the whole society. We must make good use of our knowledge, and make a good balance.

(1.) Do you believe everything people tell you? Why or why not?
Ans: I do not believe everything people tell me because everyone will tell lies to people in certain situations. I will lie to people as well.
(2.) For instance, when your friend tells you that working as a part-time waiter in a fancy restaurant will get you a lot of money, how would you respond?
Ans: I don’t think so. If I work as a part-time waiter, my salary will be around 85 ~ 120 dollars per hour. How much I will earn depends on how many hours I work. Working in a fancy restaurant doesn’t mean that you will certainly get more money than working in a normal restaurant. You have to work hard. This summer I had a part-time job in a cram school with my friends, and I have worked for only one month. Though some of my friends said that I would earn only around 10000 a month, I earned almost 23000 in total. They were very surprised how I make it. The reason I can earn 23000 is that I worked over 10 hours everyday. It was tired, but I had done my best. As the proverb goes, “As you sow, so shall you reap.”
Dear Brenda,

I agree your opinion that the importance of having knowledge. I think people will know what kind of people we are according to what we say.
Also, I don't believe everything what people tell me, either. Actually,some people will tell a lie in order not to hurt someone's heart. In my opinion, telling a lie is an art that everyone must learn and it's really impossible not to tell a lie in daily life.
The last, I think have a part-time job is good because one can learn many things from working. However, I think working over 10 hours is a little too much because you might not the energy to do your homework. Therefore, the most important of all, you must have good time management to balance your homework and part-time job.
