Reflection on "Academic English: How is it Different?"

# data[].attributes.body
Q1: The lecturer told the differences and similarites between academic English and general English, then gave examples like grammer patterns and vocabulary to explain. Then listed some words which are used in academic language. Next he thought the most important skills of four is writing because of most of the assessment.  Last he showed different attitudes  towards "I" in two fields--education and engineering.

Q2: When listening lecture, if I can understand what he said, I will write down a brief sentence, but if I cannot, I will just record key words and guess what he said according to following information which I listened.

Q3: In my opinion, the most challenging thing is that I must keep myself objective all the time and use formal academic words.

3.Evaluating:
(1). I think I gave my opinions clearly.
(2). I used different perspectives like "social" "voluntary" to inform my opinions. I thought I could list more perspectives next time.
(3).I thought I did badly in responding to other people though I listened what others said carefully.

4.I should improve my ability relates to responding to classmates. Sometimes though I have differnent or opposite thoughts with my classmates, I am too shy to say that, at the same time, I am afraid that my classmates will be offended by my different ideas. Maybe I should be more brave~

1. When making statement of financial position, central strategy is accrual basia, rather than cash basis.

2. The basic concept of accounting is that accountant should provide netural financial information to stakeholders.

3. If a company wants to finance from shareholders and operate well, manipulating report is an unlikely approach.

Independent learning: An experience of making a new friend

# data[].attributes.body
I made a new friend who is a  very very cute and beautiful Peruvian girl today throughout my social app. Chinese was also studied by her, though she could't speak Chinese fluently, she was still very brave to try it. I felt very excited and proud of her! She has a very beautiful Chinese "诗婉" which means gentle and intelligent personality.

She is easy-going so that I love talking with her, however, because of disgusting 11 hours time difference, I cannot have a conversation with her at any time. But we have promised to have a voice call or video call when we are both convenient. In order to better feelings of conversation, I recommended WeChat app to her.

Just now, we found that we have similar tastes. We both like sour taste and hate sweet fruits.

This was a wonderful making friends experience, and I am sure we will have more stories in the future. I very very like my new Peruvian friend-Varyn.

This week, we listened to a lecture in class, which was about United Nations. After group discussion, I summarized related information and our points.
From the lecture, I learned that UN was established in order to promote world peace on 24th October 1945 after the second world war so that replace League of Nations. At the beginning of UN, there was just 41 members, but now almost each country joined it.
The most interesting thing what I thought is although almost all of the countries have participated in UN, there are only just 5 permanent countries including China, America, the UK, Russia and France.
After our group discussion, we all approved that the most positive things about the UN is UN security council, which contributes to keep world peace strongly and directly from legal and military perspective. As for geography, it covers the globe. However, the negative aspect is that UN doesn't still have enough power to limit SUPER country-America when it destroys the world order and other disgusting behaviors.

“seminar on learning online versus regular classroom” 

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, seminar on learning online is better than regular classroom.

First of all, online learning is more flexible, meaning that both of students and teachers can choose where to work like home or school.

Additionally, as for personality, not each student would like to have a class face to face with teachers, as they may feel too shy to show their thoughts.

In conclusion, whatever of semianr on learning online and regular classroom are both great methods, but what suits us is the better.

Lecturer uses examples of our daily life including coffee, suagar, tea, banana, and cutton to state that related labours are easily exploited by large corporations.

As consumers, we have rights to rule the marketing world according to supply and demand. We are able to do something about child labor and global poverty by purchasing products with certain labels like fair-trade label which claims that the corporation respects labors, giving salary on time, setting some premiums and so on.

At last, lecture gave his point:  “consumerism doesn’t have to be a bad thing.”

From an environmental aspect, there is no doubt that the Industrial Revolution had absolutely bad effects.

It is well known that the Industrial Revolution originated in England, just because of this, London was called the” foggy capital” in a long period. Many analyses and research proved that the exhaust gas from burning coal like NO, , and so on polluted air.

At the same time, the industry was booming so that more land was expropriated for industrial use. Many animals were endangered or extinct because of less and less living space, so the biological chain was also destroyed.

The name of the book that this report describes is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This story takes place in New York City in the summer of 1922. This time period is often referred to as “The Roaring Twenties,” which was the good time in the United States before the crash of the stock market in 1929.

The story begins with the move of Nick Carraway from the Midwest to West Egg in the district of Long Island, New York during the summer of 1922. Nick’s point of view is used for the duration of the story, as he is the main character. West Egg is described as a very wealthy area full of people who made lots of money very quickly and love to show it off. These people also haven’t been rich long enough to make any social connections, unlike Nick, who has connections in East Egg, where the more settled rich live. Nick is also not as upscale as his neighbors in West Egg.

Dear Celine,

This is a fair effort.

Your pace is good, it seems you have read some of the literature and have reflected.

However, it appears you are following a script for a large part of your recording.

This makes it difficult to assess your actual speaking skills, which are very different from reading out loud, and writing skills.

Two pieces of advice to consider:
1.  If you find a word difficult to pronounce, consider replacing it with words with similar meanings.
Your pronunciation of clothes distracted from your speech:
clothes kləʊðz  - one syllable and 'the'
hoses ˈhəʊzɪz  -   two syllables and 'z'
You can replace clothes with: garments; fashion items; fashion; fashion choices; trends, etc.
2. Making mistakes in a speaking assessment is expected.  If you correct your mistakes while speaking, this is considered a skill!  Do not be afraid to make mistakes.  Your last mistake is your best teacher.

Well done!

Regards,
Assessor

Performane=2 Pronounciation=2 Body language=1
As for performance, I am very confident to talk about my arguments, however, my eyes are always looking at questions in computer. It is very likely to read a script.

As forpronounciation, before presentation, I really don't confirm some words' pronounciation and I just read them in my daily habit. It's not precise.

As for body language, it is obvious that I don't have body language at all.

There are differences between academic and school presentation. We should do research and cite reference when show an academic presentation. Reference is aimed to support my arguments. We have 3 ways to cite references. Each section of our presentation should be organised clearly. In order to achieve this, we can use signposting which is phrases that give direction to where your presentation is going. As for language, we had better not just read a script because it's very dull and boring, at the same time, we will be given a low grade. What we will do is to make a presentation neither too emotional nor boring. During the presentation, we had better use body language, eye contact, good posture, facial expressions, and appropriate gestures as much as possible in order to interact with audiences. Finally, ppt is a tool to help us show points more visually. There is no need to make it too fancy.

Celine, I've ticked all the boxes, but you could use more signposting language in the future. Keep up the good work! :)
