love

I am very interested in the lecture that talks what is love. First, as human being, we are vulnerable, weakness, and floured, which result in the fact we need love and attach. Through this lecture, there are two points that are very impressing for me. First of all is endorphius. Endorphius mean that people love something just in a short time. The reason is that brain releases a kind of drug that can cause illusion. For example, a student who was in high school was attracted for a girl, and started to show the love to the girl. However, when he got this relationship, he had no feeling about the girl; even though do not want to talk with her. The second is EROS which includes the passion for our own life and the responsibility for our family. EROS plays a very important role in our career. EROS can allow us get to know what things we are totally interesting and want to develop it. According to these two kinds of love, I start to think about the love about myself. What things I really want to learn and what kinds of person I should be. Moreover, I should be knew what is a really relationship between me and my girl friend.

HAPPINESS

From my experience, it is difficult for me to make a decision about which face is my face. During 20 years, I am not only experiencing the bad things but also enjoying something that can make me happy. Moreover, I am too young to judge whether our whole life is happiness or sadness. For example, it is possible for me to encounter some situations in which I can become the richer or someone who has a good relationship with his family and friends in the future, such as winning a lottery and getting much money from bet. In contrast, I also can involve in some unexpected situations. As a result, I think is too soon to make sure I am happiness or sadness in my whole life.

the thinking of presentation

During making the presentation in front of my classmates, I learn a lot about how to make a good job. First, I need more practices about presentation because it is inevitable for me to be nervous when I did the presentation. Practice can help me to be confident and allow me to pay attention to my audiences instead of always seeing my notes. Second, organization is also important for me, I should get to know how to connect each main idea, which can result in the fact that my presentation will be more smoothly and more interesting. Third, I should always keep eyes connection with my audiences to make sure they understand what I talk.

why do you think some people learn a second language more easily than others

As we know, there are some characteristics that are important for our second language, such as intelligence, personality, and age. But, from my own opinion, I think the way of learning also plays very important role during the process of learning the second language. For example, some people who are the second language learning have a good ability to summarize and review what they learning, also good at how to get exactly information from the video and lecture. Second, the steps of learning should follow a normal way that the listening is first and speaking reading and writing after. As a result, those who have these two abilities learn a second language more easily than others.

"Sadly, Happy news is scare" summery

Article “Sadly, happy news is scarce” published in the gazette on April 5,2008, which talk about that the happy news is scarce in our community, because the media always pay attention to the bad news, such as people who murder their families, kids who walk into schools and shoot people, terrorists who are trying to kill you. The purpose for those media is that they want to increase the selling of newspapers, and the statistic of watching TV. For example, in the United States where, on average, homicide rates have been going down for decades, reporting on murder has gone up dramatically. From 19990 to 1999-a period when the FBI reported a 40 percent drop in the national homicide rate-network news coverage of murder increased by 730 percent, according to the centre for media and public affairs. Moreover, there is another example from Montreal in last month that a woman throws her six children out the fire house and prevents them from suffering the death fire. However, this event received moderate coverage in local and national news. As a result, most of media bulicished the bad news insteading of good news.

From my opinion, the bad news that put in the important place in the newspaper where the reader can find it easily can be allowed, because the bad news can improve the selling of newspaper. According to research, most of people are interested in bad news; they always discuss the bad news and share their own opinion with their friends. Also the bad news can allow people to know what happened about our world and make the preparing for that bad news, such as the bad weather and some emergences. As a result, I think that the bad news should put in some places where the reader can find it easily.
