Wow, time is really fast. It's crucial to start next week, and it feels like all the efforts need to be rewarded. Of course, I still need to work hard and not slack off. First of all, I will summarize my reading. I will carefully review my previous feedback and learn to refer to it. Then, I will continue to work on independent assignments, listening and vocabulary. Also, it's important to note that there are still some issues with my paper, as we are unable to make good use of the content in the four articles, resulting in a lot of emptiness.

There are still some issues with spoken English and PowerPoint.

It's okay, there's still one week left. Give it your all.

1.  What are good strategies for developing reading, writing, listening and speaking in English?

A：At first，before reading，establish a clear purpose or goal.  Apart from that，be active to the reading，listening and speaking in English.Don’t be shy!

2.  Would the S.E.E. technique be a good strategy?  Why or why not?

A：of course yes.Because it effectively enhances people's enthusiasm for English and also enables them to learn

English better

3.  How much language learning can be done by yourself?

A：The amount of language learning that can be done independently varies greatly depending on individual factors and learning goals. For me，I think almost five types of language can I learn by myself.

4. What motivates people to do things?

A：People's motivations for doing things are diverse and vary from person to person. But overall, motivation mainly comes from people's needs, goals, values, and external environmental stimuli.

Firstly, human basic needs, such as physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self actualization needs, are important internal driving forces that drive people's actions. When these needs are not met, people will have a strong motivation to seek satisfaction.

Secondly, people often set goals that may be personal, professional, family, or societal.
In addition, personal values can also influence motivation.

People's values determine what they believe is important and worth pursuing, thereby influencing their behavioral choices.

Finally, external stimuli are also an important factor in generating motivation. For example, rewards, punishments, social expectations, competitive pressures, etc. can all stimulate or change people's motivation.

1. What does Weiler mean by being engaged when learning?
To have better learning outcomes, one must truly love learning from the bottom of their heart.
2. Thinking back to your previous experiences of learning English, what kind of learning did you most engage with?
In my impression, my favorite learning experience may be when I was learning to draw, when the teacher led us to real places such as parks, observed real scenes, and then painted perfectly.
3. Can you relate to the writer's suggestion that becoming emotionally engaged with your studies will improve your results?
Of course I can understand. In my opinion, only by truly immersing oneself in learning can one achieve twice the result with half the effort and better complete tasks.
4. What do you think Weiner believes is more important for staying motivated - intrinsic or extrinsic motivation? What is your opinion?
I think intrinsic motivation is more important because external motivation is temporary, and only with genuine inner investment can there be a continuous stream of motivation.
5. How do you feel about learning English, and what will you do to stay affectively (emotionally), cognitively (intellectually) and behaviourally engaged when learning English?
Encourage yourself more, relax appropriately, and don't put too much pressure on yourself

Firstly, it may be due to the initial reasons that I am not yet proficient in using many things, such as vles, pads, etc., but I believe I will gradually become more proficient in using them.

Secondly, although the

vocabulary is simple, from the perspective of completion, the score is not particularly high and requires more careful memorization and understanding.

Finally, don't be shy, communicate more with team members, complete group assignments well, and share your thoughts and feelings with new friends.

One of the reasons why mapo tofu has become so popular outside of China is its unique and complex flavor profile. The combination of spicy, savory, and numbing flavors makes it a truly unforgettable dish that appeals to a wide range of palates. Whether you are a fan of spicy food or simply looking to try something new, mapo tofu is a dish that is sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave you craving for more.

• Why do you think students from your country choose to study in the UK (or the USA or Australia)?
Reasons for choosing to study abroad in the UK:
1. Renowned global high-quality education level
2. Strong professional diversity and competitiveness
3. Comfortable climate and convenient transportation
4.An independent and autonomous learning model
• Why have you made that choice? Are you typical?
Because I want to cultivate my ability to think independently, I also want to see if I can complete my studies well and get along well with friends in a new and unfamiliar environment
I think I am a typical person
• How accessible is a Western education to students from your country?
I think our country has received Western education quite well. Firstly, we have been learning English as a subject since elementary school, and in addition, we also conduct regular tests. Another thing is that we respect Western culture and celebrate Western festivals.
• Do Western universities generally do enough to facilitate the enrolment process for students from your country?
I think we have many measures, whether it's providing us with a lot of guarantees before going, such as medical examinations, visas, etc. In addition, they will also tell us some tips on how to survive in an unfamiliar place.

For me, the University of York is still very good. The teachers are very enthusiastic and patient, and they answer our questions very seriously. The first class was a bit awkward and tense, as it was my first time using Zoom software. I believe I will gradually become familiar with all aspects. I would like to further understand some information about our school, such as any interesting activities.

I think our group is still great. We actively engage in group discussions every day and also urge us to complete our homework well.

For individuals, the main benefits of higher education include:
Knowledge and skills: Universities provide a systematic platform for learning and mastering professional knowledge, which is crucial for personal career development and advancement.
Personal growth: University life is also an important stage of personal growth, where students learn how to think independently, solve problems, and communicate and collaborate with others.
Comprehensive quality improvement: Higher education can cultivate people's creativity and innovation ability, enhance comprehensive quality, and make individuals more comprehensive and flexible in work and life.
Expanding horizons: Through university education, individuals can be exposed to different cultures, values, and ideas, thereby broadening their horizons and enhancing their understanding and tolerance of the world.
For society, the main benefits of higher education include:
Cultivating high-quality talents: Higher education can cultivate high-quality talents with professional knowledge and skills for society, which are important forces in promoting social progress and development.
Enhancing social competitiveness: The popularization of higher education can enhance the overall quality and competitiveness of the entire society, making it more adaptable and leading technological progress and social change.
Promoting social mobility: Higher education is also an important driving force for social mobility. By receiving higher education, individuals have the opportunity to change their social status and destiny.
In recent years, Chinese universities have indeed undergone significant changes. Some of the main changes include:
Professional adjustment: In order to meet the needs of social and economic development, many universities have adjusted and optimized their professional settings, adding some majors related to national major strategies, regional economic priorities, industrial characteristics, and urgent needs for people's livelihood. At the same time, some majors with relatively oversupply have been abolished.
Innovation in teaching modes: With the development of technology, more and more universities are exploring and practicing new teaching modes such as online education and remote research to provide a more flexible and personalized learning experience.
Interdisciplinary research: In order to promote innovative development, many universities have begun to attach importance to the establishment of interdisciplinary courses and research directions, promoting communication and cooperation between different disciplines.
International education: With the globalization of China's economy and the deepening of opening-up, more and more universities are strengthening cooperation and exchanges with internationally renowned universities, promoting the development of international education.
These changes are all aimed at better adapting to the needs of society and individuals, and improving the quality and efficiency of higher education.

Starting this week, I will enter the formal process of summarizing my paper. Firstly, I carefully read four articles, marked key sentences and vocabulary with different colored pens, and carefully analyzed the relationships between each article. Therefore, I will better complete the tasks in the schedule this weekend. In addition, I will do a simulated reading and listening task well. I hope the teacher can point out my problems when the time comes. As usual, complete independent assignments on listening and vocabulary. In addition, the members of the study group have changed since this week, and I believe we will cooperate better and better. Let's keep going, that's the same sentence!

I think I have been studying diligently this week. Although I am busy with my graduation thesis and defense, I will still do my best to complete my homework within my limited time.

I have learned a lot of new vocabulary and completed listening seriously, but I still have some shortcomings in understanding and completing ARC. I hope to work harder in the coming weeks to complete it.

1.What are the main problems that you’re experiencing
Firstly, it is difficult to express one's own viewpoint clearly in sentences, and it is not possible to provide one's own viewpoint at the beginning of the article.In addition, I always don't know how to cite the process of finding evidence from three articles to argue.
2.What solutions can you think of?
Carefully read several formative papers, learn how to write them, and listen carefully to the teacher's explanation in class on how to better write this article.
3.Make notes and prepare to discuss this week or next week.

1.In my opinion, the main purpose of attending university in our country is to better adapt to society. Before officially entering society, there is a so-called small society to exercise one's learning or interpersonal skills.
2.Not going to college may save time, allowing you to step into real society earlier, experience it firsthand, and experience it firsthand. In addition, one can also learn many abilities that cannot be learned in school.
3.I believe that the main function of universities is to learn professional knowledge and cultivate abilities to better adapt to future life. For example, in my finance major, I will set up some simulated stock trading markets to allow us to truly experience and experience the flow and use of funds.
4.I think the role of universities has gradually shifted from teaching professional knowledge to cultivating multi-dimensional development abilities, and this change is subtle.
5.I believe that universities still have a certain degree of importance for the future. They will help people understand basic right and wrong, as well as teach basic life knowledge and survival skills.

1.Regular exercise:

Set a fixed exercise schedule, whether it's running, swimming, or yoga a few times a week, and stick to it.
Exercise can not only improve physical fitness and enhance immunity, but also help release stress and improve mood.
You can combine your study schedule and choose to engage in brief exercises such as brisk walking, stretching, etc. during study breaks or breaks.

2.Balanced diet:

Pay attention to the intake of various nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meat, and eat less fried, high sugar, and high salt foods.
Stay hydrated, drink enough water every day to avoid dehydration.

3.Reasonably arrange study time:

Develop a learning plan, break down learning tasks into small goals, and gradually complete them.
Set reasonable rest time to avoid brain fatigue caused by prolonged continuous learning.

This week can be considered a week with a lot of tasks. Firstly, completing a formative essay was a huge challenge for me, as I had never written an article in this form before. Fortunately, through the teacher's teaching and asking different classmates, I understood the essentials of writing a formative essay and successfully completed it. In addition, this week's ARC was also very hard to complete. Last week was unfamiliar and unfamiliar because it was the first week, but I believe our performance this week should be very good. In summary, continue to work hard next week!

Through the article, I have learned about some text analysis methods, such as PAFT and TAP.

Of course, I also have my own method of taking notes, such as using different colored pens to mark the key content
In addition, the author's purpose in this reading is to establish an institution that can allow more people to participate in higher education. The article analyzes the current situation of some industries and some unreasonable fee content. In addition, it also shows several successful application cases.
I think I will use the services provided by CashFuture because in China, I may need to spend a lot of money searching for institutions, and then have to spend a lot of time and energy applying to schools. However, I think Cash Future first reduces costs, which is important for many people. In addition, it also provides a fair opportunity to study abroad.

For example, taking care of elderly people in nursing homes, helping to direct traffic on the roadside, and even sweeping leaves and picking up garbage on the road

a) Benefit of volunteering: Social life

Brainstorm examples, reasons ...

b) Benefit of volunteering: Wellbeing Brainstorm examples, causes ...

Good for physical and mental health (such as working on a community garden, coaching a youth sports team, helping in a charity shop)

Focusing on others (distract your mind/lower stress levels)

after discussion, I think most of us are still use traditional ways to take notes.
In fact, for me, there are many ways to take notes. As for my current writing, I often draw key sentences and vocabulary in the given article, and mark them with different colored pens. This will help me find them next time and also facilitate me to have a clear idea immediately when writing.
I feel that I am not yet accustomed to using electronic forms for note taking organization. The reason is that I feel that writing it once is more memorable, but I think electronic is more effective and easy to summarize and organize. I will continue to strengthen my abilities in this area.
I often use methods like organizing notes on pages 5-7, because using this method is very concise and clear to understand the article, and can also make a good summary and induction.

1.The authors suggest that people cannot see the global forest beyond their local trees. Explain what they mean. Do you agree with them? Why/why not?

The meaning of this sentence is that people often only focus on the local environment around them, and lack intuitive perception and cognition of macro environments such as global forests.
I would agree with this viewpoint, because in daily life, people are indeed prone to being limited to the things in front of them, and their understanding of the severity and breadth of global environmental problems is insufficient.

2.Are there differences in the way different countries or companies approach environmental sustainability? Do some act more responsibly than others? If so, can you give examples and reasons why this is the case?

I think there are indeed differences between countries and companies. Companies are more focused on profit, but the country will take a broader perspective and call on citizens to raise environmental awareness, which is widely spread. Some people have high quality and have already turned environmental awareness into lifestyle habits, thus naturally forming environmental behavior and being responsible for the environment. Some people are still in the stage where they need to be supervised and passively engage in environmental protection.
In terms of personal behavior, there are indeed some people who are more responsible than others. This may be related to personal awareness, education level, values, and other factors. For example, some people may actively choose low-carbon travel and reduce the use of disposable items, while others may not take this seriously enough.

3. What do you think is the best approach towards building an environmentally sustainable future?

I think the best way to build a sustainable future for the environment is to establish effective policies, which can be punishment or rewards to constrain people to protect the environment. In addition, instilling the concept of environmental protection in the younger generation from an early age through education

Today we had an ARC meeting, and everyone was very prepared and reported well. The first four questions I asked were indeed answered correctly and

completely by the team members.

In addition, the connector and critic also reported well.

The author of this article is Oil Gregory. He is a campaign consultant working on the Student Volunteering Week 2012 campaign. He is an expert in the field of volunteers. This article is no bias. The source of this article was brought to us by Guardian Professional. It is to promote and encourage students to participate in volunteering, so the source of information is reliable and objective.The purpose of the text is to motivate students to participate more actively in volunteering. I think it is both a fact and an opinion. As a volunteer worker, the author's position is neutral and does not refute, but only states what he should do to increase students to volunteer.

After reading the article, how do you think it is better to let students participate in volunteering？Promote more, carry out more volunteer services suitable for college students, and give certain rewards at the end of the activity.

This week, I started formal paper writing and gained experience from previous exercises. I carefully read four articles, and with the help of ARC, I better understood the relationships and content between the articles, completed the paper plan, and hope to write this paper well in the future. In addition, I also conducted simulated reading training, but I was a bit flustered and didn't quite understand how to summarize or how to write this summary well. It's okay, I'll try it slowly. Another week has passed, and time is getting shorter and shorter. Let's work hard!

Hello, everyone, my name is HaoanFu. Today I will introduce the main source article of my formative paper. Its name is 5 things we learnt from our 2021 student volunteering research

Firstly, I will explain the main content of this article.

The main content of the article is to identify the reasons why college students participate in volunteer services based on the results of the annual student volunteer survey for the 2020/21 academic year, and propose some improvement methods to enhance student participation in volunteer services

Next, let me talk about the connection between this article and my paper

The article is divided into a total score structure. Firstly, it explains the reasons for the survey and the objects of the survey. Secondly, it sequentially explains the some reasons that will affect volunteer service identified in the survey. Finally, based on the data and reasons, it proposes some methods that can better provide volunteer service.

Well，my easscy tittle is Employability is the main reason why university students volunteer.

This article effectively illustrates that employability is not the key to volunteering, and there are many different reasons, such as: Altruistic motivations are at their highest ever levels、Higher levels of dedication from those that do volunteer. Therefore, it has formed my own argument in writing articles: I believe that employability is not the main reason why college students choose their preferences

So when I was writing my paper, this article gave me a good argument: the spirit of dedication may be one of the main reasons why college students choose to volunteer

So, this is the article I am going to talk about, it has been very helpful for me to write my paper. Thank you for listening.

1. Do you think that social media will replace television, radio and newspapers? Why or why not?

Firstly, the rise of social media has indeed had a significant impact on traditional media. Social media has the characteristics of real-time, interactivity, and personalization, making information dissemination more rapid, extensive, and direct. People can access news, share opinions, and participate in discussions anytime and anywhere through social media platforms. This convenient way of obtaining and expressing information greatly meets the information needs of modern people.

However, despite its advantages in information dissemination, social media cannot completely replace traditional media such as television, radio, and newspapers. This is because traditional media still has unique value in the following aspects:

1. After a long period of development, traditional media has formed a relatively complete news gathering, editing, and review mechanism, which has high authority and credibility.

2.Traditional media often have deeper exploration and more comprehensive analysis in news reporting. They can provide audiences with a more comprehensive understanding through various means such as interviews, surveys, and comments

3.Traditional media has a relatively stable audience and a wide coverage range. They can spread information to various corners through various channels such as television, radio, and newspapers.

2. What are the best sources of news? Why?

The best news source does not have a fixed answer, as it depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as the nature of the news event.But I think some mainstream media, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and other newspapers, as well as CNN, BBC, NBC and other television stations. These media institutions usually have a large news gathering and editing team and strict news review processes, which can provide comprehensive and in-depth news reporting. Their advantages lie in their authority and credibility, as well as their broad international perspective.

3. Are health stories in the media trustworthy? Why or why not?

The credibility of health reports in the media depends on specific circumstances. Audiences should maintain rational and critical thinking when exposed to health information.Professional health media, such as the official websites of medical institutions and authoritative medical journals, usually publish health information based on medical research and scientific practice. These reports are usually rigorously reviewed and validated, with high accuracy and reliability. However, some media outlets may overlook the verification and validation of health information in their pursuit of hot topics and click through rates, leading to distorted and misleading reporting. The health information released by some individuals and private institutions may be influenced by their profit-making nature, leading to issues such as exaggeration and false advertising.

4. Who should own the media? Why?

The media should be owned by individuals or organizations who care about the public interest, have a sense of responsibility and morality. Meanwhile, media ownership should remain diversified to promote information diversity and competition. The government should play a regulatory and guiding role, ensuring that the media serves the public interest while respecting the independence and autonomy of the media. This media landscape is conducive to achieving the free flow of information, promoting social justice and progress.

This week, we will start with ARC as usual. With the experience from the previous few sessions, it is evident that our performance and content this time will be more proficient and accurate. I hope our performance will continue to improve in the future.

I really enjoy the time and atmosphere spent with team members. In addition, I have received feedback on the reading summary, and it is clear that I am not very good at mastering the method of writing reading summaries. Coupled with this week's listening summary, it seems that there is still some difficulty. Finally, I have to submit the first draft next week. Let's write it well and trust myself.

Additionally, I need to improve my presentation

1 How do ideas in the text relate to other texts you have read or listened to (e.g. texts from this course or from your own reading and listening such as the news)?

It, like three other articles, explains the reasons why college students choose to volunteer, such as: Give something back to a worthy cause, bring you into contact with lots of new faces including staff, service users and fellow volunteers, boost your career prospects and so on.

2. How do ideas from the text relate to other courses you have studied (so what you have already learnt about this topic)?

The article mentions that enjoying oneself is a very important reason for college students to volunteer, as mentioned in the first article. Dedication has reached its peak, and people will voluntarily dedicate themselves to satisfy their sense of achievement and obtain great enjoyment.

3. How do ideas from the text relate to previous personal experiences?

The article states that obtaining various opportunities is one of the reasons why college students choose to volunteer. Just like before, in order to have a better interview resume, I worked hard to volunteer during my college years, so that I could make the interviewer better choose and trust me during the interview.

Today, we have a discussion.

This article mainly talks about the problem of adapting to the environment. It is normal for people to feel uncomfortable when they go to a new place, and the most important thing is that we should learn how to adapt to the environment quickly.

There are different informal ways that confuse foreign students and workers which will make them make some mitake. And it’s important to understand the subtlety of  crucial relationships with your peers, too. It’s very difficult to socialise with someone from a different place. Choosing to adopt the local customs is a good solution to solve this problem.

Additionally, it explores the concept of culture shock, which is triggered by the anxiety resulting from the loss of familiar social cues. There are five phases involved: the honeymoon stage, the crisis or rejection stage, the regression stage, the adaptation stage, and the biculturalism stage.

In these cases, many organisations have ways to help adjust. For example, many universities have student support and English classes and some study groups that focus on issues outside of the content and subject.
