Group work

This week we begin our group work. We can choose whether website or video to do something about technology. Our group chooses the topic about facebook. We focus on the privacy issues of facebook and how to use it safely. We prefer to do the website. We spill up the categories and each of us does one part. It sounds very great. But I still have some problems especially the language obstacle thus making me not be so involved. I will try my best to overcome this problem.

The Magic World


We always write to express our feeling, sometimes it can be as formal as an essay, sometimes it can as informal as a text message. But, whatever we do, it can be a good way to show our opinion. However, writing is not perfect, sometimes we need some more powerful way to express our emotion, and then the media is what we need. Media is amazing, it open a magic world for us. Every time we use media, it can bring something new and wonderful experience. If we use it to emphasize our opinion or just impress our audiences, media must be a good helper. No matter print text, spoken text or electronic text, each of them is of great help on attracting your audiences’ attention. What you need to do is to make a good design before using it. Make sure what you want to show and how to show it, and then make it. Media will exhibit you a unexpected excellent result.

Strategic Reading


Be a good writer, you can write along your own thoughts, use the language you want to show, present your purpose and stance, make it attractive to your readers and so on. All of things you should take into account when you are a writer. But being a reader is of much difference, this time you should follow the author’s opinion and think what they want to show to us and consider what I get after reading that. Every day we reader many things, can we just get what the authors want to show? I think today’s topic reading strategically is very helpful. Previewing a text can get you a general idea and you can decide whether you want to continue reading then. After reading I know that think about r initial response, annotate, play the believing and doubting game, think about how the text works, summarize, identify patterns, analyze argument and consider the larger context are very helpful for my strategic reading.

Be Strategic


Writing a good article not only need a attractive topic but also need some strategies to organize the article. Following are some strategies that can be used to develop a superior passage. In your article, you can analyze causes and effects. Analyzing cause may do some help for readers in thinking about why something happened; while analyzing effects can help readers think what may result in from something. There are many ways organizing an analysis of causes and effects. Identify a cause and then talk about its effects, or identify an effect and then interpret its causes, or identify a chain of causes and effects one by one. Classifying and dividing is also a strategy. Classifying gets similar things together; while dividing breaks things into parts. Comparing and contrasting can emphasize the difference.
