research presentation

I like stay in front you guys. It is hard to say that kind of feeling. And I have not been through that experience before like such a long time presentation. I appreciated that I had your attention and when I looked the evaluation paper from your guys, the feeling was complex.

It was regretful that I missed Zhong's speaking in the early morning. And LiLi had told me after that she gave the perfect examples to us and that is my shortcoming during my presentation.

I can remember that Dong is brave man who chose to be the first one and I was stupid that I did not want to present in the afternoon. However, I found it does not matter.

I can see each of my classmate has their own styles in the presentation. I was really enjoyed by that because I like to become the good listener for my friends. HAHA. Just I dont know how to say. It seems that presentation makes the time pass quickly. I am not realize that we are almost finish.......really..

research paper

I can remember that we had spend like for one month to finish the paper. If we look at the final edition, does everybody think about the step we did in order to finish the research paper. I do.
1. We had the teacher who taught us everything we should in the library in order to deal the paper. For example, how to quickly find the location of the book we want to borrow and what is the use of each floor.
2. We have to think about the topic first then we can try to use the database to locate the info. that around the topic in onder to make the decision if you want to the research about that topic.
3. We had spent for one week to collect resources which are related to that topic. Then we read them no matter if you want to look at them briefly because we need to confirm the main ideas that in our research paper.
4. keep finding the artical if you need and reading the artical that you already had but start to write because we have lovely teacher who can help us. HAHAHA
5. At the beginning, you will find that is mussy job and difficult. However, as long as you get involved, it will be all right because at least you are interesed in that topic, right?
6. We got the edited edition from teachers so that we can finish it. ( "Thanks my teachers", I believe everybody will agree with that.)

What I learned. The answer is too many. HAHA. Step by step and if I have to do this next time, I will make a plan for my schedule first. I will keep track the reference. I will find another person to check my grammar. Anyway, we can trust ourself and confident because we had done this job before in the lovely level 8 class

no meaning

HEHE. Are you tired now? The answer should be yes, right? It is already 30 past 12. However, I feel clear. I have no idea. Maybe I am a night person, I don't think so or just because of the coffee I had drunk 10 minutes before. Recently, I realized what a such important skill which is time management that I am short of that, you know. And just because this I thought is the reason that I always choose the coffee. HOOOOO ... OK It is the time to keep writing about my research paper. See you guys tomorrow.

my favirite units

As I had seen LiLi's blog, I just throught what a lots of units we have already learnd. I realize that each unit has their different purposes. HAHA. Do you think so? I was very satisfied by the first unit which is the Super skyscrapers because I like that two videos and the big class. HAHA. Not only that unit, but also out two teachers always taught us together that brought a little bit surpise to me, and you??
I just don't want to go deeply, because everybody knows that after the learing of each unit, we got the different skills such as comparison, critical thinking, wrting summary, represent the lecture, paraphrase and a lot. They are very usefull when we get in the university. Moreover, the debate on animal issue was very interesting although I just listen as a guest with a little bit support to XiXi and Helen's side HAHA...Time past soon, really, It has been seven weeks since the first unit. HEHE. The relationship between us will keep forever, right?

FEELING & LECTURE not sure

HA, MY FRIENDS I am finally sitting on my chair in front of my screen. Hoooo What a boring shift I just did which was washing the dishes..but that was a enjoyable moment when I saw the clean kitchen and the shining dishes. I just thought it's time to have a post on my blog so let's begin with one of the three lectures that I attended on some day. " The Helpless Robert " was the topic. It last about 1 hour fully with the speaker's lifetime that he presented to us. After that, that's it. There was no more information after that. I was so disappoint with that. Therefore, one advice that I can give to u is not all the lecture is totally relate to that topic. Please choose carefully next time.
About the presentation that I presented this afternoon is soso. First, I have spent too much time to find the paper which has my notes. What I remembered is I really hope I can say something during that time when I finding the stuff not just stop talking. That could lead me think about the gender difference about the doing one thing for man would be better for one moment. OH MY!!!! I want improve that skill.
My dear audiences, you know I totally understand that nobody want listen any presentation after the reading we did for the midterm in the whole morning. What a tire moment! Never mind, HAHA in the afternoon, I was tired too. When I just write until here. I could the pictures from the presentation by Tomas and Dong. That were amazing inventions by that person. At the same time, I could remember the expiations from you guys were clear than me I think. I prefer the PowerPoint which is helpful so helpful to improve the understanding by the audience.
oh, sure....The last thing is the time for you warm up. I could have today. ^-^ you know this trick is very helpful to me. Whatever before you ready to start, I suggest you stand in the middle or beside the blackboard in any position you want but stand in the time that teacher usually will give you like break time. In that moment, you could look at you classmate and make the feeling they may look at you. You know and breathe the air in the classroom no matter fresh or not. HAHAHA you are on your way. TRY!
This activity we did together has been past in the class but not in my mind. Attending the lecture ===== good activity, isn't it? ( HA no grammar!)..

Population

Haha. My father’s parents have two sons include my dad and one daughter. My mother’s parents have two daughters. They are not in the same province in China as well as my uncle and aunt is living in New Jersey. I am the only child in my family. When I was in China, I have lived with them for more than 18 years. So I miss them. HOHO! I have not thought about that how many kids I want to have but I will respect my wife’s choice in the future. Moreover, I like children as well. In addition, for me 2 children are maximum. I prefer girls rather than boys.

The population in China this year is around 13.2 billion right now, and I checked the website which is http://www.cpirc.org.cn/index.asp in Chinese. China has 1322487481 people. China is the world’s most populous developing country. Obviously, the huge population brings several problems to us that influence the quality of life. Large is not beautiful. For example, not enough schools for children that leads the lack of education. The population is concentrate in the southeast part in China that leads the problem which is the rest parts of china is less development than southeast. People cannot afford the cost of an apartment because the price is increasing every year depends on how many ground we still have can use for the new construction. Recently the CNN reported a new which is not enough train for the people who want go back to their hometown for the Chinese traditional New Year celebration in Guangzhou train station. What an incredible situation! It took 12 hours before that the train achieve the terminus from Guangzhou to Changsha is 12 hours. However, it takes 27 hours and there are no food and air condition on the train just because there are too many people on that train and out of control.

Nowadays, people who lived in rural areas before tend to move to urban areas for many purposes such as looking for a job instead of transplant rice seedlings in farmland and provide batter education for their kids. This situation is increasing in China. That brings a lot of problems such as competition in many fields, criminal rate and less of supply about the product that comes from farmland.
