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 !

Unfortunately, she didn't get along with nursery, and I feel frustrated and it was a big problem for me.

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.]]> 2020-07-29 00:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664574291 Examples of metacognition https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664603338   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 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.

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 .

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.]]> 2020-07-29 06:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664785663 An Example of Metacognition ml19cz6 https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664802379 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. ]]> 2020-07-29 06:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664802379 ml19p2t1 https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664815267 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.]]> 2020-07-29 07:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664815267 think about own thinking https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664825916 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.

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.]]> 2020-07-29 08:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664846063 Example of metacognition ml19w2b1 https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664855043 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.]]> 2020-07-29 08:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664855043 Experience of metacognition ml19ym21 https://padlet.com/jodyn_bradford/1yycklm7vgq3f9h9/wish/664861970 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.

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!
