When I started my pre-sessional course, I was a little bit nervous about the way of teaching, besides it comes worse when I receive the first academic article.  I start translating every single word that I did not understand it. Honestly, it took me around three hours of translating. I felt disappointed about this situation and how can I move on to my studies. After a while with more sessions and classes, I realise that was the wrong path of understanding, and require me to understand the article generally not every single word. That preserves me to continue learning effectively.

i really look forward to have a slim figure,i just think i can achieve it by only doing more loads of exercises.But ,i didn't get a effective result.So,i decided to have the private lessons in gym.Since then I know the balanced diet and the regular timetable including geting up and going to bed early are also playing an important role in the process.

When I prepared for my genre analysis, I predicted what I would learn and what problems I would like to solve before reading, and then I made a question list. While reading, I used these questions to help me analysis the purpose and the content. Only by asking myself questions for each part, can me not be lost in the complicated professional concepts and focus on my reading purpose. It could help me not to just follow the author’s argument but to argue with my own views.

When I discovered “cognitions bias” for the first time it’s seems like a light turned on in my mind, I started reconsidering every thing to the extent I regretted not knowing it before this time. However, I believe that knowledge changed several things in my life especially my way of learning / accept the huge and simple differences between my thoughts and other’s.

Last year I went to Guangxi province with my mom for our holiday. We had ordered a guided tour of a local travelling company. They sent us a message declared that we should meet at 10:00am a week later. Afterwards, I searched the Internet and ordered the tickets online. I thought we can arrive at Guilin for just five hours by flight, as a result, I ordered the tickets on the day before the deadline. Unfortunately, because of the bad weather, five days later, when we arrived at the airport, we were told that the flight was delayed, that made us really disappointed. We had no choice but to communicated with the guide. Eventually, we changed a travel route. Since then, every time I arrange my tour, I will try my best to arrange the time as appropriate as possible, so I am not so in a hurry anymore.

Before I started this four week session, although I feel a little bit nervous but I think that might not be very difficult because I feel confident about my English. But when I engage in the course, I found that it was completely different from what I had imagined. The hardest thing for me is we need to study independent more and more, during my past study, I was familiar with the teaching methods that followed the teacher’s step and be a recipient of knowledge. At the beginning of the course I feel very difficult to adapt. But now after the practice and complete everyday independent tasks I gradually adapted to this way of learning, and I found that can help me gain a better understanding of the knowledge I have learned because I have more of my own thinking! That makes me have a great sense of satisfaction.

When I was in university, My undergraduate major was accounting. In the sophomore year, our major was divided into CPA. At first, I thought this major would be difficult for me to learn. After learning accounting in my junior year, I found that I fell in love with accounting. I found the fun in it. For example, when we learn about auditing, I will learn how many enterprises intentionally make mistakes in financial affairs and how we should find out the mistakes. In the process of learning, I gradually found that auditing is a profession that needs to have its own professional ethics. At the same time, I also hope That I can become a qualified auditor.

Before the 4-week language course, I was nervous that I didn't know whether I could keep up with the pace of the class.  In the first week, I spent a lot of time completing independent tasks, more than the required 2 hours, and I worry that I don't have enough time to complete that. I don't have the confidence to answer my tutor's question because I think the mother tongue is easier to express than the foreign language, so I will unconsciously avoid using the foreign language.  However, as I became more familiar with this mode of class, I began to reflect on why I did my assessment slowly. I began to reflect on what is the important contents rather than focusing on every detail.

Before starting the ten-week course, I was very anxious. I was worried that I might not understand what the teachers and classmates would saying, and I was worried that I could not keep up with the progress of the course. But now, when I recollect it, I found that the content of the class was not as difficult to understand as I thought. The teachers and classmates are very friendly. I am very grateful for this opportunity to learn, and hope to have a good time in the next six weeks.

I am a person who like to calculate the time. I think most of us will do that. Sometimes I thought it was really precise but I still late. A pretty tricky thing is when I am calculating the time heading to the airport or train station. A couple of times I nearly couldn't catch it and a few times I did miss it. Because the road situation is can't be guaranteed. You thought you can manage it but you never know what will happened.
Therefore, now I will arrange more time, trying not to be so risky.

At the beginning, I chose to study medicine because I thought it was a very noble job and I could treat illnesses and save people. I thought the patient would appreciate me and respect me, which would make me feel very fulfilled.
However, during my internship in the hospital, I found that many patients were of poor quality and would beat and scold medical workers at every turn. One of my seniors was beaten to a miscarriage by the patient because he felt that her attitude was not patient enough. Some patients even kill medical workers just because they think the hospital charges are expensive. So I chose to change my major at the graduate level.
A great Chinese writer Lu Xun once said that studying medicine cannot save Chinese people. I think that's what I meant, so I gave up studying medicine.

While asking questions to classmates in live courses, I would think about why I want to ask this question, “does this question worth to be asked “or something in the past, but now I might just ask it since every question have its own value ,which only depends on what angle you think about it. And when I answer the question, I will definitely think about what others’ opinion might be in advance in order to describe my though comprehensive and make it acceptable to most people.

After my graduation,I gap a year and I  worked as a food editor in a food business.Before I entered the company,I thought it was a great and relaxed job as we could taste many kinds of delicious food for free in the working time.In fact,it was different from what I thought.We had to write a draft before we went to a restaurant,to think about which products I ‘d like to introduce as well as what we need to take photos.The photography time always lasted for 5 hours,we all felt tried and the food was  too cold to eat.I remembered that the latest time I completed the photography was at 12:00 at night.In the next day,I had to choose photos,write an article to introduce the restaurant,modify the article for many times and finally publish it.It was a tried job so I quit it three months later.

My undergraduate major is Chinese Language and Literature, and I became interested in education in some of my university experiences. At that time I thought that language and education were closely related majors, so even without practical experience related to education, I could apply for postgraduate education majors. Then in the year I graduated, I applied for a postgraduate education in Hong Kong, but all I received were rejection messages. So I started thinking about how I should work hard to achieve this goal, so I started to understand education more comprehensively, read as much academic literature as possible, and constantly enrich my experience in the education.

Before taking the postgraduate ebtrance exam, i had little contact with English. I remember that when i was a student, i did not good at English. Later , i was worked in the primary school as a chinese teacher, i also knew nothing about English. Since lack of confidence, i did not think i could learn English well in one or two years. During that period of time, i was confused and lost. But when i got my IELTS score , i thought i could do well . No matter what you do, you must stick to it.

When I travelled to US, I were seldom to speak to others, Because ,it my first time to travel to abroad and my English level is very not well. I even didn`t know how to create a correct sentence, so I asked my friend to help that transmitting my meaning to others who speak English. However, one day, my friend and I gone to shopping. My friend gone to the bathroom. I'll pay right away. I had to do it myself. I was surprised that the cashier could understand what I said. I thought I can do it. Therefore, I began to speak others and learned English.

I don't know that whether if you are same with me that i have been unwilling to do something i'm not prepare enough  or change i current situation because i lack of confidence. Especially when i am glowing up, i find that i have been afraid of challenging myself because of to be failure.
i have been stuck in these problems for a while. And i also took some actions to break out this circle but never achieve my ideal results because i can't insist. For example, i attempted to develop habit of getting up at 6'o clock every morning and to quit smartphone replaced by reading books.
And recently , i have just figure out why i can't alway keep my every little aim through communicating with my friend. He told me ' you have no ideas for yourself, you never ask what do you want. Every thing you tried is in order to cater to the standard of this society but your mind, so that you can't find the reason and motivation to stand with you'.
Actually, i often consider i am a independent person and merely care for opinions from outside. In the fact, however, i am wrong because i have the cognitive basis for myself and my thinking, and now, i am going to reset my think and restart the life belongs to me.

When I started to learn English, I thought it would take me years to get ready for my postgraduate. I was a bit confused, afraid, and to be honest I was not confident in myself that I would be able to speak, write and do research within a year. But since I have started everything has changed, I became better day by day. Although I am still learning English and I am not 100% ready for my masters, I am more confident in myself than before. 
Finally, I really enjoy learning English, it is open my mind to a lot of things, I met lovely people, and I had a lot of friends. Well, I don’t regret my decision to take this step.

When I came to Leeds and I planned to send my daughter to nursery to prepare her for school, as a first time for her, I was confident that she will be more than happy to be in school and it will be a good experience for her, especially that she is social person. Unfortunately, she didn't get along with nursery, and I feel frustrated and it was a big problem for me. Later, she took along time to get settled down in the nursery and now she is ready for reception.

When I received the email from Leeds that our language classes would begin in July 6th, I felt pretty nervous and afraid as I did not have a solid grounding in learning English and I have not use it for five years. Apart from that, I believed the course would take all of my time to study expect sleeping and having food.
When the class began in that day, I saw lots of students who are from the same country with me and we have a group in teams,  I felt a little better. Until now the first-four-week classes will be finished, I find something need to be modified I thought before. For example, I pretty enjoy the things we learnt from the core readings that are meaningful for my study in the future, and also the independent learning we need to do before every live courses which helps me  to develop a good study habit.In addition, I have much free time so that I can arrange my study actively and automatically, or just relax with myself.
In a word, I enjoy the courses and I will still make great efforts to do my study !
Thank all of my group-mates and every tutor!
