In the video interview, the interviewee think arts can change people’s lives or individual basis but not the whole society. To be honest, he said the art is a great reflection with societies when artist displayed their work, it’s effects so many cases such as culture. Also, many wealthy people spent countless amount of money and want to play a role of superman to change the world.

In my opinion, I think art is the good way to influence people’s emotions and feelings, but it’s not enough. I think those rich people could put money in other useful places, such as to be an organizer to hold activities or other methods to affect the worlds.

This week, I found some interesting materials to finish my project step 2 documents. On Thursday, I did a great job in step 2 interview and get a good score! In addition, I got new idea and have inspiration from classmates on Wednesday and shared on tutorials. I have received recognition from my teacher, her agrees with my idea very much. I’m glad about it! She thinks my project is very interesting and will definitely attract people to participate. I will continue to work hard on my project.

The thesis I add links in document is about bionic robot with flexible bodies, it analyzes in design, motion and control area. Author used many quotes to explain and proof his perspective, make his thesis have more persuasive and rigorous. Also, he is an engineering major professor in university, I think he want to make his own research and developed achievement. Because of this, that’s why I choose this thesis, it related to my project.

However, it’s too hard to practice the exam content. We need to write a summary with our own notes after watching video, and we need to read two articles to write a 350-word essay. Even though I prepared a writing plan, it still difficult to do. I need to have more exercise on it.

1. Description

Our group did an activism project; we chose topic about anti-war. My task was typesetting ppt, one group member made poster, other two of them find materials and writing task contents. I watched some English video and search my own project resources.

2. Feelings

I think it’s very hard to determine the topic of the project because the scope of the subject matter is very open. However, based on my previous experience, I choose it related to technology. I’m always curious about technology fields.

3. Evaluation

How to design a good poster it’s the most difficult part of my project, I will look for relevant references. The video I found from official company was fit my theme; the thesis I found from MDPI was written by a professor in a related technical field. All material was fit my project content.

4. Analysis

My own project is lack of active; all things I prepared was introduce my project and raise awareness about my project. I got new inspiration from my breakout room members and the posts I have watched a month ago. So, I decide to set a questionnaire or displayed board to get some interaction with people.

5. Conclusion

I need to pay more attention on vocabulary accumulation, note-taking skills, the ability to understand and summary the video is talk about. Enhance my writing skills is more essential.

6. Action plan

Next week, I try to design the question & answer filling area in displayed board. Also, make sure my poster has a good impression when people see it. I will finish it before due date.

The speaker is talk about cultural inequality. She thinks that this inequality is always ignored. One of her perspectives is that she told us the inequality is people grown up in the world don’t see any self-reflection, because the story is overwhelming negative. But she believes that everyone has the ability for imagine the future.

I agree with this because everyone have this power to be ourselves. People need to create the content for their own story and try to be in charge of the institutions that are setting this national gender. In addition, we need to share ourselves in order to build empty.

The reception location is essential path to enter university. People can see the displayed board at the first time when they walk through. It is easy to attract people’s curiosity and ask what activity this is doing. My plan is to create a message wall about “what kind of/appearance of bionic robots do you want if you have one?” to collect the ideas and opinions from different people. Also, I will put the poster behind to raise people’s awareness to bionic robots. I think this is a great way to promote my project and get people involved. In addition, students studying in UCA are all study art, some of them will design their original characters, my project can effectively stimulate their desire to share and imagination.

I think it’s difficult to write down the words we listen and summarize them. This skill is worth learning for everyone. I easily forget things, which is a big drawback, but i will trying to overcome my weakness and do more exercise about watching video and taking notes at the same time.

When I first attended into the class, I think our classmates and teacher are all friendly and nice. I really enjoy the study atmosphere in groups! There are lots of chances to communicate each other to share the ideas and thoughts, it’s my favourite part in it.

I finished a presentation with my classmates, teacher gave the topic: activism, and our group decided to say environmental protection, we divided the work and cooperated, all did a great work and have a perfect end!

I was worried about my note-taking skills, because it‘s more comprehensive thing. It involves our summarizing、listening、writing skills, to quickly write down the key points and understand what content is talk about. At the first time I do this, it’s hardly to record words and missing a lot of information. I think I need to plan to do more note-taking exercise.

I’m going to try to make new paper plane, make it flying distance is longer and flight is more stable than I made in classroom teaching video.

Firstly, an essential part of an airplane is its tail wing, and there is a shape definition that triangles have stability. So, I folded the tail wing in half, creating a triangular shape, used to maintain balance at the rear of the aircraft.

Secondly, Keep the front end sharp, just like the original paper airplane. Because the weight imbalance between the front and rear of the aircraft, I think it needs a propellers like helicopters to balance weight. So I folded the middle upper part in half to form a horizontal parallel up and down.

The finished product is as shown in the picture. I tried throwing out a few paper planes to observe the flight path and stability, I find it there were several times when it flew in a circular shape, and it clearly flew steadily in a straight line, with a long flying distance, it was interesting!

What I learned is, a person or a thing, it always needs to improve in any times, any aspects. We need to constantly improve, refine, and make up for our weaknesses. This is exactly what I need to do now. I will try my best!

Summary

This is the third course on the first week, I can feel a highly passionate in all my classmates. My teacher Nathalie is a very patient and gentle women, she likes to answer all the questions we don’t understand.

I think I need to focus on reading and writing, because the score I get on the reading part is always the lowest and lower my overall score. Also, I need to practice taking notes from video and summarizing key points.

What are you feeling confident about?

I feel confident about my speaking part, I‘m a introverted person so many years. Every time I tried to talk with my friends, it takes me many times to organize what words or sentence I should say, make sure they can clearly understand the meaning I want to express.

What do you think will be your biggest challenge?

I think the most difficult is brainstorming, it needs to think about a specific idea or theme to do the research or write an essay without any scope restrictions. Because there are countless events happened in global world, it’s hard to find the target.

What specific skills do you want to improve before the final assessments?

I want to improve my knowledge reserve, I always forgot what I need to do next, even I memorized thousands of times. That’s a shame thing, so I try to record things written on the post-it note or memo, reminds me to check if I forgot.

1. It is improtant for people stand up and discuss unfair things. Large amount of people unsatisfied the occuring events, it is consider to be sloved.

2. Protesting is a powerful and meaningful form of collective action. I witnessed art on buildings raising awareness of ongoing environmental harm. This made me realize we should take action immediately.

Q: What’s one thing you want to improve before your interview?  How will you do this?

About 3-4 sentences.

A: I want to improve my vocabulary accumulation, it's a normal thing on every english learner. I also want to make more native-speaker as friends to improve my grammer using. I'll having more practice about saying deeply details about the topic and explain why, how, what makes you feel interested. Then, I will ask AI to give some examples to help me to improve or change my expression.

Do‘s:

Ask AI to suggest ideas to give some inspirations,

Check grammars if we write it wrong,

Creating drawing templates for AI generated images.

Don't's:

Do not copy the content and references without checking and changing.

Do not rely on AI to solve any problem you suffered,

Do not always rely AI to help you taking ideas in your essay, it‘ll cause loss of thinking ability.

When people trying to make new invention, probably could ask ai to improve the weakness and promote the practicality and functionality.
