The reaction of Video Games







There is a common misunderstanding that video games create a virtual world which makes the people who play them will be addicted. But in my opinion, video games have present amazing and colorful world in front of us. In video games i can experience something i had never dreamed. For example, i can travel around the world in a lunxury car that i cannot buy in real world. I can participate in the NBA to play the basketball with the most famous and my favourat basketball players. we can even fight against our enenmy with the most advanced weapons in the world. That's all my dream when i was a child. The high technology exist now, I can achieve my dream.



So many people feel strange about my English name-FOX, it's like a animal, and i am tried to explain the same quetion for several times, now I would like to tell you the story of my name. My name has a close relationship with the video games. When i was studing in my middle school, I fall over myself for the "Star Craft", and I am so proud to say I am good at the video game but I am not professional. Because the video game, I have a little repute in my school, and I made some good friends through games. We often communicat our experiences togther. Then we found our game team-Animal. i called fox because my tactics is smart as a fox's behavior, they never know what i am thinking about. Now, the video game is already become my inprotant part of my life.



Of course, video games also have their negative effects. So it is strongly suggested that we do not Indulge too much in them. Whenever we play them, we should have self-control.

Feedback of Research Paper


Feedback of my research paper, actually, this was a wonderful and excellent experience for research paper. Although I had a hard time to do it because of several reasons: The first one is when I started it. I found it more difficult to make decision that what I am going to write. At the first, I didn’t have any feeling about my research paper, I just picked some ideas and started to write, but it didn’t work at all. Secondly, the most important part is what main ideas that I am going to put into my research paper. For this problem, I argued a lot with Marley because I think she always wants to change my idea. I really don’t like it because I think is my topic; I can talk whatever I want. But after I collected some information, I found I have an understanding mistake for my research paper. So under Marley’s help, I began to get into my research. In here, I want to thanks my dear teacher Marley for her helping.
When I finished it, I was so proud and satisfied; it was difficult to describe my feeling when I saw my final draft. It is my first time to write the research paper in English during my life, I never image that before. It just likes my little dog.
From beginning, thinking a topic, collecting information, reading them, beginning writing, all these made me hard but also happy. I did the second draft, third draft, even the fourth draft. Those drafts made me crazy. Followed this I did the grammar mistakes, little format mistake also made me awful. On the other hand, I learned a lot through the research paper. Generally, I learned how to write an English research paper and how to extend the ideas. Also, my writing improved a lot.
There just one pity in my research paper that is my finial presentation is not good. I know don’t have time is not my excuse to make a bad presentation, but I really didn’t have time to prepare it. Whatever, I ask myself: didn’t you try your best for this? Yes, I did. So I still feel satisfy with my research paper. I just want to say it will be my good experience in my later life.

Population Reaction


Looking back at the video and various readings on population, I am pessimistic about the future in terms of population. I think the problems of population can be summarized by two forms. The first one is aging of population in the industrial world, and, the second one is the overpopulation in the emerging nations.
In my opinion, the solution for the ageing of population should be used four important ways. The first one is to enhance the industrial world’s fertility because low fertility rate is the main reason caused the ageing of the population. Secondly, rising the retirement age is good way to alleviate the problem of ageing population. Let some of the elderly whose physical condition allows the situation to continue to contribute to society. This group of people can ease the social pressure. Furthermore, some developed countries if they have ability; they can migration policy to solve the problem of ageing population, it’s a very effective way. In addition, improve the social security system is also a good way to cope with the ageing of the population.
For emerging nations, I think the good example is China. Chinese government are using the two important ways to fix the problem of Overpopulation, one is good education, and another one is Family Planning. For education, Chinese government gives Chinese people 6 years compulsory education for free. They put the money heavily for developing the foundation of rural because they clearly understand the root of the problem is the low education villagers. The second way is family planning. Chinese government develops the law for limit the population in each family. The law stipulates each family just can have one child. Look at the result for limit overpopulation, it is really success. Nowadays, the population in china is really being controlled by using these two ways.

Paraphrase the following sentence

"Clearly, a more useful and accurate indicator of density would be based on the land that remains after excluding areas unsuited for human habitation or agriculture, such as deserts and inaccessible mountains."

Paraphrase the sentence:

We should understand one thing that is the fields that avaluble and useful for human living or farming aren't including the deserts and in accessible mountains.

In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow. There are ways to get there, if you care enough for the living, let us make a little space, make a better place.

How do the goals of communication differ between men and women?


The goals of communication are different between men and women because there are different ways to talk. Generally, men’s communication is more like individuals in a hierarchical social order in which they are either one-up or one-down (Deborah Tannen’s book). In other words, the men are dominant and want to be more independent than women. For men, they try to use conversation to achieve their goals and protect themselves. So they put the others down and push them around. Men’s communication is like a contest to put them in high position and avoid failure. For women, their communication is like individuals in a network of connections. Women’s goals of communication are try to seek and give confirmation and get help from the others, and to reach consensus. They want to get a good relationship between each other. So they use the close way to talk with each other that we call intimacy. They always share their feelings for each other and avoid isolation.
Women achieve the high position and avoid failure, but there are not their goals that they always focus, they tend to guise themselves. For men also, to achieve involvement and to avoid isolation is the goal, but they are not focused on them, and they will use direct way to express their opinion. For example, women usually use “we, and apologize words” during their conversation, but men usually use “I or in my opinion” and they never apologize. So everyone needs both intimacy and independence whoever she or he is, but women tend to focus on intimacy and men on the independence and domination. That’s the goals of communication differ between men and women.

Happiness


The third one can show how my feel about my life as a whole. As I look back on my life, I do not feel like a winner, I usually feel in a bad mood and worried something is going bad. When I am working, I always pay more attention on what is going on around me then what I am doing. Sometimes, I thought I really worried a lot even something don’t happen it yet. For example, during these two weeks, I can’t focus on our course anymore because I am super worried about my CELT result. Even I can’t sleep and no good appetite. I know I always worried the CELT that is not going to help me get a good mark, but I can’t control myself. This is one of examples that can show my personality. I am not good at handling my emotion. I am clarity about my problem, but I can do nothing for this. I usually look back on my life and see what I did. For most of them, I feel good because I am not a super hero or famous people, I am normal as the others. But there is one thing that I really satisfy that is I have a pretty good idea about the purpose of my life.
