Reflection

I can confidently say that I am concentrated on this blog project and I do seriously complete tasks on every week. Although my writing is not interesting enough, I do think hard on every topic. Also, I try to apply the rules of writing that I learn in the composition class. When I finish my writing, I always check whether the topic sentence is in the paragraph. I try to make the answers of questions into a complete paragraph and not just post the questions and answers on my blog. I attempt to give my writing a different subject rather than using the number of week. Because I manage my blog attentively, the grade I would like to give to myself is 90. I think that I deserve this score due to the effort I have made that mention above. The score I would like to give to my partner is 92. Both of us are doing well on this blog project, but I think my partner’s writing is more profound. I always get some new thoughts after reading her reply. Therefore, I think that she deserves this score.

Class Activity

My favorite classroom activity is hands-on activity. I think that when experiencing something in person we can also think and learn during the process. This kind of classroom activity is more interesting and can make us remember it easily. On the other hand, reading is the instructional format that I like the least. This kind of classroom activity may not motivate students’ interest to learn. If we only read the text book on the class, it will lose the importance of teachers.
The fun class activity that I experienced recently is that I have made an animated cartoon on my English Composition class. One day we had our class in a computer lab; our teacher taught us how to remake an animated cartoon. Our team gave the cartoon some funny lines and our work really made everyone laughs. This class activity is really interesting. I would like to have classes like this next time.
During the process of learning, encountering difficult knowledge is inevitable. I suppose the difficult knowledge here means some profound concept that is hard to understand. When I encounter some kind of difficult knowledge, I will think of some examples in real life to make me understand it easily. I think that we need to have experiences first, and then we can really learn something.
I think that I am the type of learner that need to experience in person, and then I can remember it and understand it easily. I would like to call myself the researching learner. I have the spirit to do research. I am willingly to try new things because I believe that having many different experiences can make one grow and learn something new.

Self Evaluation & Peer Review

After having interaction with my keypal for two months, I think that we are doing well. From 1~10, the score I would like to give to myself is 7. The reason why I give this score to myself is that I do post my opinion about the task of every week on my blog, but I just write something that is related to the topic and do not think deeply and make some interesting insights. I know it is difficult to have some insights that are different from others. However, I still want to struggle to this goal. On the other hand, I give 7 to myself because sometimes I do not post the task on my blog on time and I hope that it will not make any inconvenience to my keypal. In the remaining weeks of the semester, I hope that our interaction on the blog will be more active. I will do my best to check my blog as frequent as I can. That is the improvement that I think will make in the future. I believe that we can make it.

Strawberry Generation

Nowadays, people think that young people is weak and could not stand setbacks. Therefore, they called our generation “strawberry generation.” I think it is not proper to call our generation “strawberry generation.” After all, we are not as weak as they said. Because our life is more comfortable than the past, we do not experience many sufferings. Therefore, our ability to endure frustration is not as good as the elders. Our capability to deal with things is not so well, too. After we start working on society, we will face some difficulties. We may be very sad when we first meet failure, but I do not believe that we will give up after failing one time. The ability to endure frustrations can be trained. We just face these difficulties later than the elders. If we have determination, we can conquer the hard time. The word “strawberry” is used to described those who do not have courage to face setbacks not our whole generation.
