What Things Do I love EAP 98?


I love many things, and one of them is how to write good an essay. Because last quarter I didn’t know explanation and examples are very important for the essays. I have practiced how to write a good conclusion. Last quarter I just knew that I should write the same the thesis statement in conclusion. So this quarter I have learn a good way that is use other words but it have to be the same meaning. I can give my opinion in conclusion. Sometimes I felt really hard to do something such find the meaning and search for information for essays or others, but I feel better now. I have known many from my classmates’ blog. I feel exciting with the stuff of Pavel in the blog because he has written something about soccer. Soccer is my favorite sport. I would like making outline for essays that will help me write essay better. I love argumentative essays although the fact, they are not easy. I always think that hard things make me learn good things and improve my knowledge. I hope I don’t forget what I have learned many things during this quarter because I want to use this stuff for next quarter. Maybe I should look at new information of this quarter few times to make sure that I keep them deep inside my head. Thank Monica monk so much for teaching good stuff that is very helpful for my future.

What Make You Very Happy?



HEY, guys! How are you feeling right now? I feel great because I have learned many interesting things and have make friends with many people this quarter. I am going to study in summer quarter. I have already registered two classes. How about you? Do you have a plan in summer? Maybe you can take a vacation in your native country. I absolutely like the blogger because I learn a lot thing from it. I like to take a vacation, but I don’t have more choice. I am not good vocabulary guy. I have an experience that is I don’t make a judgment to thing or people before I know the true. Sometimes I still ask myself how I can improve and add it up my vocabulary. I have a bad memory for language. I can have good memory for some subjects but not English. Maybe I am a lazy guy, I am afraid of it, or I hate it. Do you love English? I have no choice for studying English. All of you are good speaker but not me. I frustrated myself about it. When I look at some people, I have learned one important thing that is how to control our own anger and feel. We can make many arguments with each other every day that will help us to be a good person or overcome the shortcomings deep inside ourselves. That Is my opinion. Maybe you have a better idea.

What Do Men and Women Do on Dating?




Do you think who is better to ask out if she or he wants dating (men or women)? Men can buy flower giving it to the girl who he wants dating. He had better choose good places to go on the first day. He should wear nice clothes, but it is not too bright. He has to pick up the girl on time or a little early and never late on the first day. He can open the door for the girl getting in and getting out of the car (the door of restaurant, home, and others). He is supposed to make some good conversation and never ask the girl about age and salary. I think men are better to pay for eating and others on the first day. He can make a plan for going somewhere. He ought to show how glad to go with the girl. The girl should wear fancy or nice clothes. Don’t be too sexy or messy. Try to be a nice woman and not sassy on the first day. Both men and women don’t use bad words (shit, what the heck, bitch, son of the bitch, and so on). Women had better not say something about your ex. She can make some good jokes, but it depends on who she wants dating. What do you think if someone calls you guy or lesbian? I always feel nothing when she or he says that. I absolutely know who I am. That is my opinion. How about you?

What should I need learning?



I am not sure what I need to learn for two weeks left. I like studying hard thing although sometimes I make mistakes when I studying it. One reason that make me like it is I can remember something better when I do something wrong. In reading lap, I felt a little confuse when I answered some questions. Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of some words. In some questions, I felt there are two right answers for only one question. Maybe I missed some clues for those questions; as a result, I circled wrong a letter. I have recognized that we have a style of the essay left in our book. Argumentative essay is really strange for me. No teacher has mentioned this style to me until this quarter. And then I asked myself why Americans have many different kinds of the essay, and when they write this style. It is hard, isn’t it? I always live special style grammars because they help me write a good paragraph or an essay. I like the part how to search for information for writing an essay. I want o make sure that I can write a good essay for any style of this quarter. Hey, my classmates what do you want to study for two weeks left. The fact, I love all rules for writing essays, paragraphs, and sentences. I try to avoid adding information that is not essential for paragraph.

How to Improve the Speed Reading?



I am not a Native American, so my speed reading is often slow. I read slowly because I want to remember and understand better. Especially, I always read very slowly if the material is difficult or contains too much news vocabularies. When I read something, I frequently identify what is really important in that. I just remember important things. Before I came to senate room to listen how to make me a good reader, I am a poor reader. The man introduced the way that helps poor reader to become a good reader. If we want to be good reader, you should follow some steps. First, we have to answer this question that is how many words you read in one minute. And then you do it again until you make sure that you read more words than first time. If you feel good, you will go next step that is faster reading. You have to practice reading one page in ten second for one minute. After you finish that, you be supposed to ask yourself” what do I remember for one minute reading?” maybe you should practice it many time if you can. After that, you reduce two seconds for each page until each page is two seconds left for reading (scanning and skimming). If you practice them many times day by day, you will become a great reader. Some rules that you had better not follow when you read something are vocalizing, word-by word reading, finger and pencil pointing, moving your head(when you read , nothing needs to move except your eyes.) , word blocking, numbers, one rate reading, ignoring authors ‘clues regressing, and lack concentration. I think it is better you don’t do it. What is the strategy for you? I think we should become a good quality reader.

Learning, Changing, and Improving



I have learned interesting thing is how to write essay in cause and effect, And I have used many examples and give explanations in essays. I have recognized two ways to write essay in comparison: the block and point- by- point method and thesis statement sentence: implied or stated. If I want to be a good writer, I have to use transition words, give examples and explain obviously in essay, and I should make clearly the thesis statement and the topic sentence in each paragraph. That is better to have good hook. But sometimes I forget them when I don’t have enough time to write an essay. I have learned to avoid using one word many times in each paragraph. I had better use many vocabularies when I write essays and others. I have improved how to write good conclusion. Some people said that a good writer must make use of many complex and compound sentences. That is why I always write compound and complex sentences when I write any essay. I can write a good essay if I know a little bit information about topic. I feel that is really hard to write strange topic. I can writer best with optional topics. I love writing interesting things to make hook easily. From time to time, I tell myself to be careful when writing something. How about you? What makes person to become a great writer? That is question for many people.

A Free Life



How do you feel a free life when you live in foreign country? I always feel good because I can do everything, but the most important is I have to follow all laws where I live. I have many opportunities to study my goals or find jobs better. Everyone has problems to find a free life, but they like it because they believe that they will have a better life in near future. When I came here about a month, I thought what I have to do for a better life, and I should find a job to earn money or study in university. That time, I had really a big problem for understanding English when I wanted to ask some questions. Few months later, I asked my cousins who have lived here for many years if I should go to university, and they answered that I would have good life if I studied in university. I told myself why I don’t do good things in a free life. And then I made a decision that I want to become computer engineered. Some people said that it was really hard to study about that career, but one thing actually persuaded me to perform that major is when I thought of how successful of my cousins from their jobs. Don’t give up your goal too easy when you have tough time. Look at yourself after you watch this video. How do you feel? I think we should esteem everything around our life. We can do good many things if we try our best.
