Task13

1.
I suggest teachers grade the performance by the content we write.
Few of my tasks did not have three hundred words. That is because I really do not have any more good ideas to write. I still remember Dr. Chen have said that a good composition is based on its quality not its quantity. As a result, I do not want to write too much nonsense on my blogger. That is the reason why some of my tasks’ (maybe 2 of them) word does not reach three hundred words long.


2.
I score myself 83.
For the reason that sometimes I forgot to do the tasks and when I found that I forgot to do it, I did it in a hurry. Except for that situation, I did almost my tasks with my all heart and I think I am a hard-working student. I have tried to do my best on this project.

3.
I score my partner 85.
She is a good girl and I do appreciate her writing style. She did her best to do this project with me. She also so cheer me up when I was bombarded by too many tasks. Her responses to my blogger are really inspirational.

Task14

1.
I think it is good, though it sometimes made me feel too stressful when I got a lot of things to do. Are they interesting? Generally speaking, they are interesting. I think most of them are inspirational, and they are related to my life, too. But I think week 10, 13, 14 are just almost the same topic. As a result, I feel myself keep writing the same thing and using the same ideas. It makes me feel Do not know what to do and how to do it better.


2.
I like it. I remember the first time I saw my key pal’s respond, I was so excited.
But, we seemed did not interact with each other very often. For one reason that maybe we both are too busy to interact actively. Owing to that, I think having more people (like 3~4 students) from a group blog to exchange ideas is a good way to improve our learning. Take myself for example, I always forgot to do the homework when I got a lot of thing to do. As a result, if we work in a group, the group members will remind each other to do their assignment and learn good ideas from each other.

3.
Nor really. I think it will be better if we are more active to the blogger program.

4.
Yes, they are friendly enough. It is good in general.

5.
My speed of typing English becomes faster than before. What is more, I learn different news and thoughts from other’s blog.

6.
Yes, I will have more interaction with my key pal and do my blogger better by writing more good sentences.

Task10

Question 1: From 1~10 (with 10 as the highest score), how well are you two doing? Please grade yourselves and give a suggestive score.
Question 2: How and why did you two decide the score?
Question 3: What kind of improvement are you two making in the remaining weeks of the semester?

Our answer to Q1:
We graded ourselves “7.5”.


My answer to Q2 is:
I have try my best to do the tasks and my key pal's do response me every week.We have a good time when doing these assignments.However, there are some disadvantages.Sometimes I would forget to do the tasks when I was bombarded with other homework and tasks from our department.Moreover, Joy and I did not have too much time to communicate and chat with each other. Generally speaking, we are trying to work with each other well.These are the reason that I give "7" as our score.

My answer to Q3 is:
I think maybe we can plan more time to chat online with each other and know something more about my key pal.I have to conquer the problem of time management. It is quite important for me. Also, I have to make good use of my time to finish those tasks.



Joy’s answer to Q2 is:
To be honest, I think I always reply Brenda's blog late. I really have to say sorry to Brenda. From blog, I think Brenda is a hard-working and optimistic student. Just as Brenda say, we really have few time to communicate with each other. All in all, it's really wonderful to work with Brenda.


Joy’s answer to Q3 is:
I think I have to arrange my time well, too and I must finish the tasks as soon as possible in the future.

Task9 (REPOST)

1. What do you think about this stigma?
Comparing our generation with the older generation, people of so-called strawberry troop is indeed becoming more and more. There are certain factors which cause this situation. As far as I observed, the environment of my generation is richer than my parents’ or even my grandparents’ generation. These few years, the average income is higher than the last generation. And parents are able to give their children better care and life. In addition, with the development of technology, it becomes so convenient for us to live. In other words, we, human beings, are lazier than the last generation as well.


2. Does the description match your self-identity or -realization? If not, offer a counter claim.
This description did not exactly match my self-realization. Not all of the new generation are lazy and can not do their missions well. There are still exceptions.
Take myself for example, I am tough (at least I think I am ) and I do not give up my goal easily. In my opinion, I do not like to live depending on my parents. So, I found a part time job this semester and earn my own money. There are still some good examples in our generation. However, every generation will have its own living mode and thinking. In my generation, the development of computer and the Internet do play an important role in our changes. More and more youth are addicted to the Internet, and do not want to do anything. Furthermore, they are afraid to social in real world. As a consequence, they hide themselves to the unreal world- the Internet. And this cause them do not feel like working; instead, they just lye at home and depend on their old parent to feed them. This situation does need to be changed and improved.
