Virtual Learning Environment(VLE) is a web based software system, and this emerged in America in 1960 for the very first time.

Three is a result that this system has a positive impact on student’s motivation, autonomy and overall achievement.

Recently, these systems have been adopted by not only universities but also multiple global institutions.

In addition, such programs are free to access and can be modified and redistributed by users.

Using VLEs has a lot of advantages for both of teacher and student. It is said that these sources make it possible teaches to use their time efficiently. For student, they can use these facilities to submit assignments, access learning materials and use forums to take part in seminar discussions with their classes. I think we can say that these systems give students better studying environment because  their English skills and specific subject skills may improve a lot through sharing opinion with their peers and reading important materials on these system.

Regarding to usage of these programs, they are used by 250,000 students, over 20 per cent of whom are based overseas. Happily, they enable people in other countries to get opportunities to study.

A Virtual Learning Environment is a web resource to expand teaching through the use of tools and activities and leaning. The origins of VLEs are various and there are many years of development from universities to government in US. The evaluation VLEs take placed through many distinct technological time period and this evaluations bring a new age with a global reach. VLEs brings institutional benefits of a stream-lined system for universities. A European organization with a community which are based overseas and without face to face around the world. Custom tools for different user types. The influence are brought by technology is not only physical, but also financial. Culture and technology impact and influence each other and improve to be better.

A virtual learning environment (VRL)is a web-based system that is designed to help educators with teaching student by allowing them to set tasks that can be completed in class or at home. Many researchers have found that it has a positive impact on learner motivation.  Over two centuries of work culminated in PLATO, the first computer-assisted instruction system emerged in 1960 in the US. This system opened computer-based courses in many universities in the US. From 1960 to 1980, which saw the first emergence of VLES as an online concept was the foundation of World Wide Web. Learning Management System  (LMS ) is famous example of open source software  .such system are free to access and can be modified and redistributed by user .By using system like VLEs teaching staff are able  to use their time more efficiently .It is easier for institutions to meet their quality control by administering all content through one vehicle .The UK  has played a major part in researching software system for learning  purposes . courses can be taught online  with no face-to-face instruction .this learning is made possible through a combination of Moodle and customized tools such as facility to submit assignments and use seminar discussion with their classes .The freedom to modify and brand open source VLE software enables different institutions and department to customize specific webpages or portals .from 2005 to 2010 the learning environment has improved since online open courses were free of charge .Many MOOCs now operate under a commercial model like courser.

Stress can be a factor of obesity. There are a lot of stressful things around us, such as difficult study,    complicated friendship, or even family relations. As the article from Guardian says, food not only be our energy but much more fills our emotional satisfaction. Eating is an important action for some people to feel happy. More stress leads more food and eventually it cause obesity. If there is no stress, there would be fewer chances people to be obese. However, it is challenging and sometimes impossible to deal with by theirselves. To tackle their reason of stress, cooperation with other people must be needed. Without helping each other, problem with obesity may not be solved.

The lecture was about battery and it was chemical topic so that there were many words I didn’t know. Therefor, just one unknown word avoid me to understand and take note because I don’t know even spelling. Also sometimes I couldn’t see the connection between citation or example and the talk because I couldn’t understand the meaning of example clearly and I had to imagine what he wanted to say. However, he spoke fast a bit, thus, I couldn’t write down his words. Moreover, it was hard for me to judge if he talked same topic or not. This is because I misunderstand that he started taking other relevant topic when he paraphrased the sentences which he said before.

1, try to catch words especially key words and try to write down even the spelling is incorrect

2, read or research about the lecture contents before if its possible

3, write down both the contents which you understand and don’t understand ( if you don’t understand, you tend to stop taking note maybe)

Which country tops volunteering rates?

Simon Jarratt/Corbis/VCG

Do you live in a generous country? For the past six years, the Charity Aid Foundation (CAF) has compiled the World Giving Index, which ranks the generosity of nations.

As part of the Gallup World Poll initiative, a representative sample, usually numbering 1000 people aged 15 and over, from 145 countries were asked whether, in the past month, they have given money, given time or helped a stranger. Here we pick out some of the most - and least - generous countries from the 2015 list.

Donating money to charity

Donating money to charity had risen more, globally, in 2015 than giving time or helping a stranger. The US is notable in bucking this trend. There, money giving was down year-on-year - from 68 to 63 per cent - and the country fell from ninth to twelfth place.

Myanmar tops the list with 92 per cent of people surveyed having given money in the month before being interviewed. That's largely down to the country's Buddhist practice of Sangha Dana, which encourages donations. This is shared by Thailand, which comes second. Third place goes to Malta and the UK is fourth.

Religious practice also played a part in the improvement shown by Kyrgyzstan. It was surveyed during Ramadan when donating is encouraged, and rose 65 places overall, making the top 20 for giving money. New Zealand is the only new entry in the top 10 - up from thirteenth place.

Volunteering time

Overall, people gave slightly less time to volunteering in 2015 than 2014. Myanmar again came top, making it the first country to score highest in two measures of giving since the survey began. Nevertheless, only 50 per cent of people volunteered their time compared with 92 per cent donating money.

Sri Lanka came in second place, and Liberia re-enters the top 10, at number 3, with a year-on-year increase of 12 per cent. However, Liberia's score of 46 per cent is still well below its 2011 figure of 55 per cent.

The US, placed sixth, is the only country to appear in the top 10 for both giving time and helping a stranger. China ranks second from last, with 4 per cent. It also comes in at number 144 overall, scoring just 12 per cent, only 1 per cent more than Burundi.

Helping a stranger

Iraq, with 79 per cent, tops the table for helping a stranger - up from second in 2014 - highlighting a key factor about human generosity: people universally respond to need. CAF points out that conflict and civil unrest are often associated with high levels of giving. "It is remarkable that Iraqis continue to exhibit such generosity amidst ongoing security concerns. Indeed, it may even be that the recent increase in helping a stranger is a response to growing need," it says in its report.

Liberia comes a close second with 78 per cent. And the top 10 list for helping a stranger has four new entries since last year: Namibia, Kuwait, Malawi and South Africa. The latter is notable for a 9 per cent rise since 2014, following a 10 per cent rise the year before. Kenya, at number six, has improved every year since the World Giving Index began.

Overall generosity

The big change in the overall top 10 rankings between 2014 and 2015 is the US's fall from joint first with Myanmar to second, mostly due to a decrease in people giving money.

New Zealand comes third and the UK is sixth. Malaysia at 10 and Kenya at 11 are among the most improved countries worldwide. Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Guatemala and Kyrgyzstan are all in the top 20 for the first time, although the latter was surveyed around Ramadan, which will have skewed its results. However, overall the number of people who donated money and gave time and helped a stranger has decreased since the last survey, especially in China and India.

CAF has also calculated average scores for overall generosity since it began the World Giving Index and notes that only five members of the G20 - the world's largest economies - are among the 20 most generous countries. They are the US, Canada, Australia, the UK and Indonesia. When it comes to kindness, wealth is not as important as cultural influence, it concludes. "The individual nature of a country is central to driving charitable behaviour, rather than being driven purely by economic conditions."

short summary of what I learned in the lesson

a)Organisation

I learned that I need clear organization for my writing. Clear organization has to be include backgrounds, sophisticated thesis, and map for introduction, and main topic, supporting arguments and short summary for each paragraph. These are necessary to make readers concentrate on main idea and navigate.

b) Cohesion

Effective cohesion makes my writing more concise and precise. It must be remembered that only appropriate and natural cohesion will be accepted to aid readability. In addition, using variety of cohesive devises is also beneficial to provide successful sentences.

c) Language

Academic language is appropriate such as formal and impersonal. And wide range of vocabulary including successful use of AWL can allow some flexibility and precision. To make the contents concise, very good use of of noun phrase is helpful idea.

Short summary
good paragraph depends on good organization. We need to write background, topic sentence, summary and so on. Use some cohesion devices to connect context. Such as: however, although, when it comes to, nevertheless, overall and so on. Use some compare words to compare the data. Such as: more than, less, compared with, as important as, rather than and so on. Academic style also important in your poster. Try to use some words from AWL.
