这个暑假令我印象最深刻的是我和朋友去北京的798艺术中心，在哪里我看到了非常有趣的艺术品，比如这个带着翅膀的的小胖妞，一看到她我就非常高兴。

上个暑假，我在中国学中文。在长城爬山是一个很好的经历。那天天气特别热闷热。可是我看得到长长的长城。长城是一个人类的成就。也代表中国的历史。爬山累是累，可是 我觉得我当是好汉因为我gao gao xing xing登上了万里长城。

我今年夏天跟两个朋友一起去欧洲一个月了。我们在欧洲旅行的旅行，游览的游览。虽然我们没有导游，但是我们还参观很多名胜古迹。我特别喜欢巴黎，因为在巴黎每个建筑又古老又美。还有，我亲眼看埃菲尔铁塔第一次！我们爬上埃菲尔铁塔,因为我们觉得这个锻炼有益于我们的身体。埃菲尔铁塔给我留下很深的印象。

这个暑假， 我 住在上海。在上海我跟我的朋友做了很多的奇怪的事情。 比如一夜， 我看到一个音乐会。 这个吉他手穿服装很奇怪！ 他是一个剑龙！很酷对不对？虽然他 穿服装很有意思 但是他唱歌唱得不好。

我过我的暑假过得很有意思。这个暑假，我住在Charlottesville做了研究工作。除了打工以外，我还上动漫会展。我装了很有名的卡通人物. 在动漫会展，我也买了很多可爱的东西，所以现在连一块钱都没有了。

我以帮助别人自己最大的幸福所以我这个暑假教了韩国学生英文。我们也去纽约游览名胜古迹比如自由女神乡。他们一看到这个名胜古迹就令他们很兴奋。我觉得自由女神乡很值得一看。

1. Make a comment on your classmates (overall/individually)’s story

2. Compare your story to one of your classmates’ story

Consider the following questions:

1. Have I fixed the mistakes in my Task1 with feedback from Tongxue and Laoshi?

2. Have I upgraded my vocabulary and grammar with things just learned today? Such as: V的V， V的V；锻炼身体；ABAB (as a verb)；省+N；A有益于/无益于B etc.

3. Have I used some good connecting words when making comparison such as: A比B+adj. ；A没有B那么adj;

上个暑假，有很多人去国外。有的去中国。有的去韩国。有的去欧洲。他们有有趣的经历。有很多人看到经典。比如说，英台去子又怒神像。我在上海的时候，我也看到很多名胜古迹。此外，我吃地道的中国菜。

  我的暑假跟睿州的差不多。我们都觉得在中国学中文有益于。每天多说中文增加我的信心。 我和睿州去过一个大学的音乐会。 可是我们的经历比妮雅没有那么兴奋。那个音乐会没有人穿奇怪的衣服。

对不起！

储老师~

看起来暑假的时候我的同学们都做很有意思的事情。看起来同学们都旅游的旅游.比如很多学生去中国旅游，学习中文什么的。一个学生去了法国。我觉得旅游很有用，很有意思。但是这个夏天我不能旅游因为我的女儿出生了。即使我留在家里我很忙照顾我小孩子。所以我跟我的同学们差不多一样：暑假的时候我们都很忙，学习新的事情。

储老师说：思博好，你的这篇文章修改以后，通顺了很多。非常棒！

我真的喜欢读全胤秀的段，因为我想去韩国。还有，她的评论关于她的妹妹使我笑。她好像很幽默。

妮雅的暑假听起来很有用，因为她住在上海。我认为她每天练习说中文是很有益，因为她的中文水平大概逐渐提高。在提高中文水平方面，她的暑假比我的暑假有用。

储老师说：很有益处 means 对...有好处；金莉，你也可以考虑暑假的时候去中国学中文哦！

这个暑假许多我的同学出国在亚洲旅行了。有的同学去中国学中文或教英文。我参加了一个中文母语的国家，但是在哪里没有学习或工作了，因为我刚毕业高中。像我的一些同学，我这个暑假也工作一点了。我会台湾以后在保龄球馆工作了一点。同学的暑假好像过的很好玩！

储老师说：参加attend? 参观visit？我听说台北的101非常高，不知道风景怎么样？

这张照片告诉大家：回收、不用一次性的东西、减少他们的垃圾、用绿色的能源。这张照片要说明四个问题。我觉得利用绿色的能源很重要。大家都应该逐渐减少用石油和煤，因为这两资源不是取之不尽。除了利用太阳能以外，大家还应该用风能。我喜欢这张照片，因为它让我考虑我和环境有关于的选择。

同学们的暑假都看起来很有趣。他们有的去韩国玩儿，有的去中国学习，都高高兴兴的过暑假。去纽约不如去外国有趣因为去外国的时候能经验【经历】别的文化和好吃的东西。我知道几个同学们去中国学中文。我觉得这个经验很有益。欣华去过中国参观长城。长城比自由女神像有意思。可是长城比自由女神像从Virginia远得多【PandaExpress】。【有】一天我想去北京看长城。我也希望将来有机会去中国学习。

储老师说：英台好，这篇文章的结构不错！请注意【】里面的语法！

这个漫画表现我们世界的污染问题。在漫画上有一个人在一个污染的地方。这个地方到处有很多脏的云。因为空气很污染他背上有一个小树。世界上很多人开车。这个习惯对环境造成严重污染。少开车有益于。再说利用别的能源对环境好比如太阳能和风能。我觉得大家应该少用石油，少用煤，多用别取之不尽的能源。

在墙上我看着同学们暑假的时候做了很多事。学习的学习，去外国旅行的旅行，工作的工作，养孩子的养孩子。我的暑假不如思博的暑假重要，由于他有一个新女儿。去外国的时候，我的事也没有很多同学们厉害。我旅行，想轻松轻松。可是对我，这个旅行很重要，因为我从来没自己去外国。在韩国我自己在酒店住，每天自己坐地铁回酒店。在开始时，我孤孤独独【just say 我一个人吃，一个人玩】地吃，玩。可是几天后，我高兴高兴。我那想去会去。要是我真的想跟朋友玩，我会了打电话早他们。很经验丰富，所以我想下个暑假回首尔学习。

储老师说：瞻瞻好，你真厉害，一个人闯韩国！请注意我给你的语法建议，在【】里面。

这张照片说明存在一个资源的问题。因为我们利用太多资源，世界的空气越来越热。我们应该节约资源， 也应该回收。比如说公共场所应该有比较多的多回收垃圾桶。如果没有很多人主义到这个问提，会不看设想。为了逐渐提高人的意识，政府可能推出广告。

储老师说：欣华，请你再具体说一说怎么节约资源和回收就很好啦~我们应该怎么救地球呢？

今年暑假我去了中国学中文。在中国，我们不但上中文二零一零课，而且上中文二零二零客。这个节目激烈是激烈，可是我认为他领我的中文水平提高了很多。在中国学中文尤其很有益于我的说中文的能力，此外这个节目也让我容易容易学生词和新的语法。

我跟瞻瞻谈到了我们的暑假。我们都去外国旅行了，可是我们在外国做的事情很不同！大学生们去外国的时候出去玩儿的出去玩儿，上课的上课，等等。由于我跟一个弗大学的节目去中国，我每天都学中文，但是瞻瞻在韩国花很多时间跳舞！每个晚上出去跳舞那个主意听起来很好玩儿，再说，有有用用的锻炼身体。我下次去亚洲可能要常常出去跳舞。

储老师：请看我的建议，都在【】里面。我同意你的看法，看孩子是件不容易的事情，但是非常值得！

储老师说：珍妮你的照片让我思考很多。请注意语法的搭配(da1pei4) see my comments in 【】

储老师说：睿州好，你的角度很有意思！请看我对你语法的建议，都在【】里面。

全胤秀，好像你过你的暑假过得很有意思！我希望我也可以去亚洲，可是飞机票很贵，要省钱。你一定很像【similar to?】你的家人，对不对？我觉得你可不像一个“妈妈”。你跟妹妹都很可爱，看到你的照片让我很高兴高兴【here 看到is already a result, no suggestive tone, so just say 高兴】，因为我也有妹妹。我觉得我的暑假没有我的同学的暑假那么好玩。这个暑假我忙着【good structure here!】打工，可是别的中文同学都去韩国和中国。有些同学去中国学【？study aboard? just say 留学】留学，【add 他们here】都说留学有益于【need a verb here】他们的中文。

储老师说：晓维好，这篇文章的内容不错，有些语法不够清楚，请你看【】，加油！

储老师说：晓维好，这个照片实在太有意思了，谢谢你分享！有几个语法问题请看【】

和我的同学们比，我这个暑假过得特别无聊。我大多的同学们【simply say：同学们大多 because 大多+verb;大部分+noun】都去了亚洲，参观了好多旅游目的地【just say 景点】而我自己一直在美国工作。我认为旅行会让人更好理解自己，更好得到一个独特的人物【clarify this one?】。我一点都不后悔但是去旅行还比呆在这儿好的【得】多。

储老师说：李根的内容挺有意思的，做实习也是不错的经历！请看我的建议，都在【】里面。

这张照片说明的意见应该容易看出来。。。我们必须得好好保护环境，不要随便乱扔我们的垃圾，否则世没有一个美丽的未来。我们随便扔垃圾虽然更方便可是会造成很多特别重的问题。大家都应该回收吧！

【储老师说：李根用了不少新的词语，不过请你考虑几个小问题：

1. V1的V1,V2的V2用在这里合适吗？

2. 应该and 吧 used together here?

3. Good job on using 否则~！】

储老师说：思博的照片令我印象深刻。请你看最后一个句子：你可以说“我赞成这个规定！” 还有我的建议在【】里面。

Claim a space now and add on later:) Please post a paragraph at least (250 characters), cooperating what you have written from Task2, and commenting on one of the news we have read or/and one post from your classmate’s Task2.

我跟李根同意，我们太浪费东西，“世界受不了”，世界是我们应该照顾的。“人们的回收习惯”也是一个有意思的问题。很多美国人不回收他们的垃圾，就提高水和环境污染。

我的建议是美国人应该减少用瓶装水，利用可重用水瓶，去超市的时候带自己的袋子。如果每个美国人从小做这些东西，我们可以过一个又持续又开心的生活水平。

大气污染重要因为人利用木能，煤能，和石油能。少这东西也就在天气放很多吸烟，无益于空气。这个资源不是取之不尽的能源。要是我们也看着看着树，将来树就砍完了。

市内的污染太重。城市到外都是树树草草花花，很漂亮。市内没有这漂亮的环境因为人都砍树，盖高楼，该高速公路。人都随手扔垃圾的扔垃圾，自己开车的开车，乱费用电。人得多用风能源，太阳能愿发电；少用石油，煤，和木。要是我们现在喀什保护环境，我们令我们的孩子高兴高兴。他们会在干净的地图玩，长大。

315字

我觉得我们的世界白色污染是一个很大的问题。我觉得这个污染是从我们浪费能源的。这个照片告诉我们世界的空气怎么样了。现代的人天天造成很多污染。我们的世界现在没有取之不尽的能源--要是我们随便开车，吸烟，什么的，我们的环境会越来越糟糕。如果我们希望我们的孩子住在好环境的世界，我们得减少污染。要不然我们造成的后果不堪设想。如果我们想把这个问题解决，我们从小事做起。要是人回收的回收，骑自行车的骑自行车，关灯的关灯，环境会好多了。这些小事都有益于比较好的环境。我们全世界要一起帮忙地球保护。每一个人管着管着环境，就会很快有大变化。（ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒｓ：２６１）

现在，世界上有能源危机。世界的能源，比如说，煤和石油逐渐少。现在有些科学家开发怎么利用太阳和风能发电。太阳能和风能都是取之不尽的。

因为世界的人口逐渐增加，所以世界发现这个能源危机。人随便乱垃圾，不一定回收。比如说，有些人一用一次性的餐具，就扔了。世界到处都有很多人开汽车，汽车尾气污染会加重。

为了环境保护，我们应该逐渐提高环境保护意识。我们应该教所有的人环境保护的习惯。比如说，带自己的瓶装水和购物袋，还有多回收。在大学，很多人不想走路，喜欢开车。走路不但对你身体健康，而且环境保护。为了节约电，你也应该随手关灯。要是我们从小地方做起，就可以环境保护。

字：264

每天在电视上播报中国城市的空气质量。由于中国人口拥有13亿个人,空气污染逐渐增加不可避免的。别的看法是因为中国的经济越来越好，国家的人比较舒服（有多钱）所以他们多开车，少走路。这个新习惯对空气造成严重污染。

我觉得这个污染危机不容易解决。改变人们的习惯吧，一点儿难，改变舆论吧， 太困难了， 一个解决是促进利用别的能源。多利用太阳能或者别的取之不尽的能源有益于空气质量。改善空气质量大家应该从小地方做起来。

在最近时间，全世界面临很大的环境危机。现代的生活对环境造成的问题很多，比如说，我们开车的时候，开着开着就产生很严重的天气污染。我们应该做什么？不保护环境吧，后果不堪设想，我们还是开始保护环境吧。

我们现代的社会常常浪费资源。很多人随便乱扔垃圾，尤其塑料袋，这个习惯提高白色污染的水平；由于产生肉类用很多资源，所以吃肉也浪费资源。这两个习惯就是一些我们现代的人的无益于环保的习惯。

为了保护环境，我建议两个办法。第一个是我们回收垃圾，还有告诉朋友们他们也应该开始回收。在弗大校园，到处都有回收垃圾筒令回收垃圾很方便。第二个建议是我们都减少我们多少吃的肉—我知道很多人不愿意不在吃肉，可是我觉得不再那么多的肉是不太难的变化。

你想知道储老师希望生活在什么样的地方吗？

一个可以看到日出和日落的海边，一个有森林的岛，一个有不同动物，人与动物和谐相处，非常平静的地方~

现在美国在闹环境危机。虽然有的人想保护环境，但是美国人大多不在乎。因为很多人太懒了，所以他们总是开车、不回收、随便乱仍垃圾、不关灯。还有，因为很多人认为一个人不可以解决环境的问题，所以他们甚至连尝试都没有。

我同意张如意的看法，人们大多太浪费了。很多人每天都喝瓶装水、用塑料袋、浪费空调、浪费暖气、不随便关灯、在淋浴里花太多时间、开车太多。

为了保护地球，大家都得回收、不用一次性的东西、减少垃圾、用绿色的能源。美国人都利用绿色的能源很重要。大家都应该逐渐减少用石油和煤，因为这两资源不是取之不尽。除了利用太阳能以外，大家还应该用风能。如果大家再继续浪费能源，这对空气造成严重污染。在空气污染方面，大家应该少开车的少开车，多走路的多走路。走路不但保护环境，而且有益于健康。美国人都必须改变他们的习惯。要不然后果会不堪设想。

我十年后想住的地方是一个大城市，比如台北。虽然大城市闹又一点脏，但是台北是真是一个很特别城市。每天白天可一出去吃饭，去公园，于去博物馆，晚上可以去夜市买日用品和小吃。台北有许多摩天大楼其中最有名的是台北一零一，但是也有许多郁郁葱葱的公园。如果我十年后有机会住在台北，我一定会尽量出去吃饭，去夜市，去公园。

在山的那边有一个村庄环绕于农田。在这个地方能欣赏不少壮观的日落。看来村庄里人很少所以空气污染并不是严重。大多数亚洲农村有一个精彩的气氛。我最喜欢平安的生活所以十年以后希望会住在一个美丽的村庄。我了解中国是世界文明古国之一于是中国应该拥有很多的古村子。对我来说，古老的建筑给我的印象很好。古老的建筑也表现传统文化。尽管住在农村可能不是方便，可是我觉得值得。

十年后我还想住在我的老家。我的老家是Vermont。在这儿有很绿色的山，清澈的湖泊, 和传统的城镇。因为大自然还没破坏，我的老家是一个稀有的地方。虽然有的人说这个地方热闹不得够，但是世界里旅游以后我还觉得我的老家是对我最好的地方。找工作是南，可是我想比能力找到一个很好的工作，“自然”的生活更好。

十年以后，我最想住在一个小市郊(shi4jiao1,suburb)。我也喜欢农村可是我觉得住在市郊最有益于开始一个家庭。要是我有孩子，我得想出来那里是最适合他们长大。农村离别的地方太远。离学校，超市，朋友，和医院很近都很重要。我喜欢市郊因为我还可以养(yang3, raise)动物。为了让狗跑步，我要一个很大的后院(hou4yuan4，backyard)和一个比较大的家。在市区太急了。

十年以后，我想住在普吉，泰国因为泰国是我的老家。泰国的海滩是简直漂亮。盛会费还不太高。虽然在城里很方便，可是活在自然里比较轻松。我也喜欢跳水。在这个地方，我天天可以跳水啊。我最重要的原因是我喜欢吃海鲜。在普吉， 各式各样的海鲜都可以买到。又便宜又新鲜。

第一：纽约是世界的金融中心，媒体中心，文化中心，和食品中心。住在纽约有益于找投资工作和商业咨询工作。第二：人们可以随时随地吃饭，跟朋友玩，去看场演，等等。第三：纽约的生活节奏很快，是令人激动的。第四：住在大城市里非常方便。有各种各样餐店，商店，和旅游景点。第五：纽约特别有意思，随时去公园，人们在看书的看书，跳舞的跳舞，画画的画画，和漫步的漫步。

这五点描述我想住在纽约的原因。

我想住在黄色的地区：

对我来说“白色的污染”是很加重的环境危机。其实地球闹很多环境问题。比如我的同学谢珍妮说现代的人天天造成很多污染还有我们得减少污染。我同意谢珍妮的看法还有我觉得我们可以开始清理白色的污染。

我去中国的时候我看到那么多塑料袋。看起来人们把塑料袋随便乱放。可能中国还没有够的回收的垃圾袋。

我就发现中国政府有新的规定。在中国，超市不给顾客塑料袋。我一定赞成这个规定！我也觉得地方的政府因该公共场所里摆一些回收垃圾筒。人们可以垃圾扔吧，但是污染还逐渐增加： 可以回收吧， 正好解决。最重要的解是让孩子知道环境的问题还有怎么节约能源。

中国现在面对空气污染危机。一个原因是在中国的成里，所有地方都人山人海。人的消费的东西造成垃圾和污染也利用很多资源。我的想法跟思博差不多。超市不给塑料袋的方法是很好的。可是只有自己带包不可以减少污染的问题。只有自己带塑料袋还有自己带餐具不过。如果有很多人还继续浪费能源还没注意回收，

解决污染危机很困难。  为了保护环境，人应该有意识。政府可以推出广告。学校可以叫青年保护我们的世界。用取之不尽也是一个有效的看法。这样的让我们可以节约石油和没。此外，取之不尽不造成污染和垃圾。

(292 字）

我们在课上看过一个标题基本上说了在中国整个国家只有六个没有大污染问题的城市。人们怎么能决定多少PM2.5是合适日常生活的呢？看来这些数字就很任意，而且我们西方新闻因为总是在找中国政府的错误所以太忙看到其他世界地区的问题。例子就和空气污染有关系：世界上10个最有空气污染的城市连一个中国城市都没有 ～ 都在印度或 伊朗。

那不是说中国没有污染问题，而是说我们应该提前批评别的国家来解决它们的污染问题。

(277 字）

储老师说：instead of using 对我来说，在我看来is better here.good use on 因此

教人好的回收垃圾习惯是很有效的措施来解决世界资源危机。在我们的社区，弗吉尼亚大学行政应该买多回收垃圾筒，放回收垃圾筒在方便的地方。现在，没有那么多回收垃圾筒，因此学生就随便扔垃圾在普通垃圾桶。

总的来说，世界的资源危机是一个对我们生活很重要的问题，因此应该注意自己的保护环保习惯。一种好的习惯就是回收垃圾：回收垃圾有益于逐渐节约世界的环境和资源。

In terms of what's the most difficult, I think it's starting to learn the language of writing. For the past two years, I was so focused on speaking Chinese that I've neglected the writing aspect of Chinese. The focus on many essays will be something that I will work improving upon. It will be hard to write in a more formal tone, but I hope to be able to improve my writing skills towards the end of the semester. Also, the tests in Chinese are definitely a lot harder because there's more facets of the test. The short answers on the tests definitely threw me off, so I definitely need to pay attention when studying for the next test.

In terms of what I'm proud of so far is how I've retained my Chinese over the summer, regardless having been deprived of it for a few months. Whenever 储老师 brings up old words we haven't gone over in class, I seem to remember them for the most part. I feel like my language fluency has improved somewhat (but definitely I could always use more work).

From first year, Chinese was something that I've always been interested in learning. As a Cantonese person, I had somewhat of a relationship with this language, although Cantonese also handicapped me (in terms of some pronunciation and what words to use when speaking). I look forward to improving myself in CHIN 3010, slowly but surely.

谢珍妮- Haha, I imagine our Chinese will definitely be better by the end of the semester! I agree with you on the long and complex sentences are hard to memorize-but once I do memorize them, it helps me understand the relationships between different grammar patterns and the complex Chinese language. 加油同学！

It's incredible how much we have learned since CHIN1010, though I do think CHIN3010 is significantly harder than 2020 despite the fact that it's only one level up. In 3010, we are required to speak and write long, complicated sentences that don't have simple "plug and chug" formulas. The reason I find these difficult is that I can't keep track of all the characters, if I can even remember what the characters are. I definitely have to make an effort to practice speaking and writing Chinese on a daily basis.

Despite this class being only 2.5 hours a week, I am learning a lot and I look forward to improving my Chinese and learning even more.

何晓维--I am very humbled by you and the rest of our classmates as well. Everyone's Chinese abilities are so high and I am struggling to keep up. I'm somewhat glad to hear that I wasn't the only one that had difficulties with the short answers on the test. For me, I didn't even remember seeing a lot of the structures (and even some characters) we were supposed to use. That just shows me that I did not study hard enough and look at all the resources that we have. On a different note, I think it's really cool that you can speak Cantonese. If I had the opportunity to learn it, I would.

I am proud of how much my Chinese speaking has improved in such a short time. I can talk to my grandparents on the phone and find myself using more advanced grammar structures and vocabulary. The amount of new characters I have learned to write and can write off the top of my head surprises me. I hope my Chinese improves even more!

谢珍妮-- I agree with you about the new sentence structures and grammar! I find myself forgetting some of the sentence structures a lot because I don't practice them a lot in my writing. I am excited to improve as a class in Chinese.

On the other hand, I am pleased to be in this class, and even though my skills seem to be a bit "under par", I have noticed my command of 二年级 material to be improving. I feel confident that I will be able to make my away around Chengdu when I live there in 2016! I also enjoy learning some literary forms because one of my goals will be to someday read a little bit of classical Chinese for my research interests.

Something interesting that I notice about myself is that I can think in Chinese and also comprehend what laoshi says in class. But the pathway between my brain and my mouth is blocked! I know this is a normal part of language learning (I remember having this problem last year in Tibetan and now it is no longer a problem), but it is frustrating. But I am old enough now (my tenth year in a university!) that I do not usually feel embarrassed about my mistakes. I am also pleased that it is becoming easier and easier to learn new characters. When I started studying Chinese I thought I would never be able learn them.

张如意，I am impressed that this is your first college Chinese class! When I was in middle school and high school (in the early 90's) it was impossible to find Chinese language programs. Now it is really one of the most important languages, so you were very smart to study it!

I think the most difficult thing for me is just that the difficulty level of the content is much higher in 3010 than it was on 2010/2020, and also that we have overall less in-class time to practice structures and review vocabulary, etc. Another difficulty for me is having to draw upon and integrate so much from previous semesters--this difficulty especially came up during the first exam, where we were asked to use some structures that I think I recognized from the 2000 level, but didn't quite remember how to use! Despite these difficulties, I can still say that I am proud of how my abilities in speaking and listening to Chinese are developing. Something I've always struggled with was generating Chinese "spontaneously" in conversation; I've always been better at sitting down and writing in Chinese than I've been at coming up with it off the top of my head, and I am happy to see that I think I am still improving in this capability.

This is my first Chinese class that isn’t online so，储老师，您是我第一的中文老师！Since it is my first “real” Chinese class, it’s really intimidating. Coming into the class even though I didn’t fulfill the necessary requirements is also really stressful since I’m having to learn the 2010 and 2020 material while others seem to be remembering what they learned in the past.

For me, everything about Chinese is hard. The writing is difficult since I often forget how to write a few characters. The listening comprehension is also difficult since I’ve never been around Chinese people and in my online classes, we never heard anyone speaking Chinese. That’s why it’s scary going to class not knowing whether I’ll be able to understand 老师or not. We also never practiced speaking Chinese so my spoken Chinese is also at a considerably low level. The oral test was definitely a nightmare. Being in a class with people who are awesome at Chinese is kind of scary but it’s also great since I can work harder and maybe be as good as them one day. Since Chinese is my major, it’s stressful not being at the fluency level I should be at but I guess I’ll just try to work harder.

I guess I’m proud that I haven’t completely failed in the class yet. I’m not really proud about my Chinese at all but I hope that my Chinese will improve quickly so that I’ll have something to be proud about. But even though I’m struggling a lot, I still love Chinese and think it is amazing! I’m so glad that I’m in an actual class and have a real teacher and I hope my Chinese will improve faster than I can imagine!

睿州- I agree with you that the content is more difficult and it’s harder since we have less time to practice in class since we only have 3 days a week. The first test definitely was intense and I think we’ll all be better prepared for the next tests. I’ve also had a hard time just thinking up Chinese during conversations so I hope I’ll be able to think, speak, understand, and write fluently in Chinese in the near future.

I love Chinese class and learning Chinese, but, as always, the most difficult thing for me remains my lack of confidence and ability in speaking.  When speaking in class, I often grow nervous, because I know that I need to improve my tones and fluency. I always try to write out the tones for each word on paper and to memorize them, but in talking to Chu laoshi, I have realized that I need face-to-face repetition, so that I can truly hear and internalize how to say the word, because I never learned tones properly. For this reason, I am going to start going to Chinese Corner again this year, so that I can practice my tones and pronunciation, which hinder my speech and confidence. I also agree with 思博 that the “pathway between my brain and my mouth is [sometimes] blocked.” However, already, just this semester, I feel that I am starting to think more in Chinese, rather than trying to translate my English thoughts into Chinese. I hope that I can do this more and more as the semester goes on! I am nervous for the oral discussion tests, for which we cannot prepare, but I hope that these will allow me to step up my ability to think on the spot.

The thing I am most proud of so far in 3010 is my writing ability and that, for the most part, I can understand what everyone says in class! I have always enjoyed writing in Chinese and trying to use new vocab and structures, so I am happy that we are doing more writing this year!

I agree with 柯睿州 that it is nice to be in a class in which the people around you can pretty proficiently speak Chinese, because hearing certain grammatical structures used properly helps me learn how to use them. When I arrived in class on the first day, I was extremely nervous because I felt that my ability in Chinese, overall, was lower than others’, and that I was not going to learn, because I would not understand what was going on. However, I have quickly come to realize that the opposite is true; being around people of a higher level has definitely already helped me improve my Chinese! I look forward to the rest of the semester!

The most difficult thing this year has had to be acclimating to the higher level grammar structures. For the most part, I do not have a big problem in communicating what I need or want in Chinese when I talk with my family. Communicating the straightforward issues does not require extensive grammar structure knowledge or superfluous sentences. Using these compound words and combinations is often hard to remember because I wish to easily fall back on simple structures which can communicate the same idea. I find myself taking longer to think and switch out words or phrases for an "upgraded" vocabulary. The one thing I am most proud of so far is actually remembering how to write words down and doing my dictations without the use of pinyin (more or less). In all my previous classes, the characters would take me so long to match with the pinyin in my head that the entire sentence would escape me. I had taken to writing the pinyin first, and then I would go back and write the characters. So far, I have been trying to do the dictations without the use of having to write the pinyin first. 思博：I've always admired your dedication to learning Chinese. Do not take this as an insult, but it was proven that as you get older, the ease of learning of new language gets harder and harder. Therefore, I admire all the work you put in to getting where you are, becoming more and more acclimated to the Mandarin language. I understand what you mean where you think in Chinese, but the words get all twisted up in knots. I think in Chinese after I speak Chinese with people, mostly with my family. My mind functions perfectly well in that manner since Chinese is one of the first languages I learned as a child; however, because I have slacked in my Chinese as I grew older, I can't always pull out the words I am looking for. I find that as my vocabulary increases and I practice more grammar structures, the words find themselves and come out naturally in conversation.

One thing I am most proud of so far is my decreasing amount of hesitancy when I speak. When I lived in China, I often found myself fearful of making mistakes in speaking Chinese, so I spoke less. This definitely faded over my last two years in Shanghai and I have found that I have more confidence in speaking this year. I am also relatively happy with my implementation of new vocal so far, however I think I can improve this further in the future. 

睿州 - I agree with you about our class; the varying proficiency levels but equal amounts of enthusiasm makes it very enjoyable in the mornings. I also agree with you about the time we have to practice. The constant dictations makes it tough, however I really enjoy the in-class reviewing of structures we do. I think the reviews are incredibly helpful and certainly better than in any class I have been in before. 

One thing I think I'm proud of is that this time around, I'm having less difficulty remembering characters. I recall that in Beijing, I had a lot of trouble recalling how to write characters and the proper stroke order.

冉灵 - I definitely understand what you're saying about the confidence/hesitancy to speak Chinese. It's certainly difficult to get started, but once you're in motion again, Chinese is a much more fluid language than English. I think if we all continue to practice, the confidence will come with time. 好好学习天天向上！

如果你去尼泊尔旅游你一定会瞧很多乞丐。有的乞丐是孩子，还有妇女。但是最多是残疾人。这个穷人是真的可怜的。给或者不给钱是很麻烦的问题。给钱把，会养成依靠别人。不给钱吧，看起来没有同情心。为了帮真的穷的人，我常常给一点钱。但是恐怕有的乞丐不是真的残疾的。对尼泊尔文化来说，乞丐不是很重要的问题，但是对我们来说这个乞丐问题很难看。

Additionally, the character learning can be a personal thing, you can try putting characters in a sentences to remember the, or give them character stories etc (ways I can think of now)

Regarding our higher level grammar structures, one efficient way to learn and review would be essay correction. I myself have learned a great deal from proof reading my own writing, and in this way, learning to be an independent learner/writer as well.

I hope our book project can serve as a more functional role in helping you consolidating your grammar and vocab.

Once again, thank you all for sharing your thoughts, reflections, back scene stores and PIX:)

明天见！

“犀利哥”已经回家了，也有机会工作，有人帮助他。但是呢，中国还有无数的乞丐没有家，没有饭吃。他们被人民和社会给忽略。乞丐没有意变成乞丐，我们都应该同情心帮助他们。

大多数人瞧乞丐的时候， 就继续走路，也没给他们同情心。这些人认为大多乞丐都不劳而获。因此，他们觉得，人们给乞丐钱， 就养成他们的懒惰和依靠别人的习惯。

但是，我不同意这些人的看法。我觉得我们得帮助乞丐。我们不可以忽略他们。要不然，在将来乞丐数会逐渐增加。我们应该不但给他们一些钱，而且鼓励他们找工作。这样他们可以开始依靠他们自己。

照片里有一个孟加拉国老乞丐。看起来她不能工作所以免不了得变成乞丐。我觉得其中国家，美国的乞丐更幸运因为在社会制度乞丐有许多机会为了提高他们的情况。可是在别的国家比如印度和孟加拉国，偶尔人们是乞丐从诞生。从这种的国家乞丐太可怜了因为社会制度姘夫不均。但是随乱给他们钱不是一个好解决。偶尔乞丐的情况是自己的过错，偶尔是社会的过错。

虽然美国的教育制度有很多长处，但是我还觉得美国教育制度有很多短处。比如说，很多学生从公立初中毕业以后还不会阅读或者解决数学的问题。

因为很多美国人以为美国会永远保持世界的领先的地位，所以他们常常忽略美国的教育水平。但是，我觉得他们太目光短浅，因为别的国家，特别是亚洲的国家，已经开始赶上美国的教育水平。

还有，我觉得美国大学教育制度有一些问题。比如说，有的学生重文轻理。别的学生只有选择科学和数学科。因此，很多学生没有很多别的技能或者能力。

但是，一个好处是：很多外国人重视美国大学的教育。因此，每年很多外国人来美国留学。留学生也提高美国大学的质量，因为他们教美国学生他们的文化的关于。

读文章以前，我从来没有想过美国教育有问题。但我读美国大学生的数学能力不如中国的初中学生的好让我觉得太极端了。美国学校现在应该开始采取措施提高美国学生的学习水平。他们可以规定学生选数学和科学课。我不同意文章的文科看法因为我认为科学不比文学重要。虽然科学对发展科技有益，可是对文化和社会知识一点好处都没有。要是一个国家想个人平衡，学校得教学生每一个学科。美国教育和中国教育都有很多问题。现在开始变化不太晚。

在有些欧洲的国家，中有德国和瑞典，大学生不再得付钱上大学。我举双手赞成这样的措施！那两个国家明显重视教育。我把美国政府也采取一个“学生不必付钱”的政策当成是梦想，但是我认为这个梦想不切实际。美国现在的高等教育制度有益于富人，因此他们有钱的人会反对改革。在美国，有钱的人也有政治权利，造成帮穷的人的改革很少。很多人上不起大学的问题不但是教育存在的问题，而是政治和经济的。

有的时候我想一想，“要是我当医生，我可以将来多赚钱，很容易找到好工作。”可是一年级学化学的时候，才能发现我受不了这些理科。

我认为美国的大学重文轻理，因此理科的素质不太高，别的国家的素质比美国的素质高多了。可是，我知道很多人学文科以后有很高的工资。比如说，Teresa Sullivan 先学社会学的专业。大学毕业以后，当弗大的总统，工资比美国的总统的工资更多。

所以我觉得美国的教育没有存在的问题。美国的大学生有很多机会选什么专业，学什么课，理科或者文科。你的梦莎想什么，想当工程师或者艺术家，都是可以的。

世界各地的学生根本想来美国上大学学习，为了上美国能得到一个好教育。许多美国大学生和教授研究和发现很重要的事情，上美国大学能选很多不同有趣的课。

但美国大学也有很多问题。大部分大学教练的工资比推崇教授的工资高机了，因为美国人和学生很痴迷体育。我觉得这个制度很不公平，教授的研究很重要，他们应该装比较多钱。我也觉得美国大学的学费真的是太贵。德国的学生不花钱上大学，大学是免费的。在美国，学生常常进入数千元的债务来得到一个教育。副人很容易有足够钱上大学，穷人没有足够上大学，就不能去。

美国教育只注意美国地事情。 所以美国得到学生不太知道别国家的事情。如，经济的课文注意美国的经济。此外，有很多美国人不重视教育。去高中学以后，有很多人找工作。学费太高也是一大问题。些人决定去大学不值得。

我认为美国教育有一些问题。我们重文轻理所以我们的数学水平比别的国家低。为了进步美国的教育我们应该重视文学和理学。我们的教育质量越来越差。从小学到中学学生往往重视派对，不学习。父母促进出去体验世界。我听说过父母在闹因为老师给学生的功课“很多”。很多美国人上学为了交朋友，见朋友面，跟别人聊天，不是为了进步自己。教育在亚洲比较感谢。在美国教育的重要很低。我觉得这些教育问题不是制度的问题而是美国社会的问题，因此，解决当然不是黑白分明。

我觉得美国教育体系是世界上最好的，但是还有一些问题。美国教育体系轻视国外留学经验的重要性。我看到了报告说美国的一般学生能流利地说一种语言，而欧洲人能琉璃地说两或三种语言。我认为这不是社会的问题，就是美国教育体系的问题。我认为美国教育体系应该鼓励学生开拓国际视野：学生应该多出国留学，多上国际历史的课，和跟不同国家的同学们聊天。大学应该录取有国际经验的学生。因为我的高中是国际学校在上海，所以我每天会跟中国人、荷兰人、韩国人、等聊天和交换思想。我希望每个人会有这样的经验。

Instructions: 请同学们利用网络，先搜关于“彭宇案”的新闻和故事，可以是中文的，也可以是英文的，都可以。然后写你对这个案件的看法。

请尽量多用下面的这些词语，这些词语可以帮助你准备周五的听写。

打官司，告，赔sb+money，告到法院去，政府，老百姓，常有的，稀奇，找律师，有了争执，除非不得已….是不…的，提倡，甚至于，….之一，不可思议。

这件故事让我生气。如果个人帮助需要的人以前得找一位律师，结果是一个很弱社会。

（其实事实证明彭宇推那位老妇。所以打官司合理。）

这个案的后果是更可怕的。到现在大部分中国人愿意帮助别人。中国人在路边看到需要帮忙的人怕他会打官司，所以就会忽略他。两年前一个2岁女被车撞了。许多人走过她，但没有人帮助她，终于一个穷老太看到她。

储老师：谢谢你也告诉我们关于这个小女孩的故事~

在中国，有个女孩子，虽然她在马路上，是受伤的，十七个人不理她。所以她死于车祸。在美国，这个问题不可思议。因为政府使人们陪受伤很多钱，很多人们很怕有了争执。

我认为政府制裁太厉害，所以人们不想帮受伤的人的忙。要是政府减少制裁，这个办法就是最好的。在美国，这个大难题很稀奇，可是好像这个大难题在中国是常有的。美国很提倡打官司，找律师，因为打官司的经过很公平。因为律师的生意很好，律师是美国最赚钱的职行业之一。好像中国人除非不得已，是不打官司的。

储老师：你认为如果中国老百姓都开始学会打官司了，会不会有什么问题？

在表面上看起来是一位好心的人被一位贪婪(tan1lan2greedy)老年人告.其实, 两年前彭宇承认他推了这个老妇. 因此，我觉得政府做了一个好决定。要是彭宇真的是帮助老妇，我就会认为政府和这位老年人很坏。

我觉得这是中国最严重的问题之一。总之，为了鼓励大家给陌生人帮助，政府得想出来新的法律为了保护好撒玛利亚人(hao3sa1ma3li2ya3ren2)。于是，在愿意帮陌生人上，老百姓会成为更愿意。

储老师说：那你有没有什么办法鼓励中国人开始多帮助别人？

储老师说：看来你对人类的特点很有感触！

从2006年到2011，大多人都觉得彭先生是受害人，但是我们现在知道那位老女人其实受害人。彭先生打了她，造成她的负伤。我们本来以为老女人告彭先生很不公平，但是我们现在了解她的做法有道理。虽然她的做法是公平的，可是“彭宇案”造成很多中国人不愿意帮助别人，是因为他们怕被告的缘故。

储老师说：看来这件事情真的不是黑白分明的啊~

储老师说：如果你在中国，你会怎么做呢？

储老师说：老百姓没有同情心，是自己的过错，还是社会的过错呢？

储老师说：你觉得中国政府可以采取好撒玛利亚人(Good Samaritan)政策吗？会不会遇到困难？

Task6-Advanced: 我眼中美国教育问题

各位老师，各位同学：

今天很高兴有机会跟大家谈一谈我的美国教育的印象。

据我所知，美国教育制度长处多于短处。比如，美国教育的质量很高。美国有很多有名的大学。还有，我觉得美国有许多机会。上大学的时候，学生什么专业都可以选。想当医生，就选有医生的关系的专业。想当工程师，就选工程师的专业。大学生可以选文科或者理科。美国大学生重文轻理，但文科对学生有长处，令学生可以学抽象的事情。

但我认为美国教育制度所存在严重的问题是大学的学费太贵了。很多美国学生的钱不够了。我认为美国政府重视发展经济，轻视提供平等的教育资源。如果照这样下去，很多学生就不能上大学，人们不会找到好工作，无益于美国的经济。

因此，我认为美国美国政府应该提供免费的高等教育。看这个问题，我从各个角度来去检查，这是最好的办法。别的国家的大学费没有美国大学费那么贵。

这是我的看法，如果有不对的地方，欢迎大家批评。谢谢。

同学们好，

我想讨论以下据我所知的美国教育问题。世界各地的学生根本想来美国上大学学习，为了上美国能得到一个好教育。许多美国大学生和教授研究和发现的事情很重要，上美国大学能选很多不同的有趣的课。但美国大学存在问题又多又严重。大部分大学教练的工资比推崇教授的工资高机了，因为美国人和学生很痴迷体育。我觉得这个制度很不公平，教授的研究很重要，他们应该装比较多钱。我也觉得美国大学的学费真的是太贵。德国的学生不花钱上大学，大学是免费的。在美国，学生常常进入数千元的债务来得到一个教育。富人很容易有足够的钱上大学，穷人没有足够的上大学，就不能去。

我有一个解决办法来解决贫富不均的问题。我觉得社会应该承担责任每个人的教育-政府应该把大学成为免学费的。当然每个人的水费会增加，但这个办法会让每个学生有机会上大学得到个好教育。

谢谢大家听我的看法。如果你有不同的意见，我们可以辩论。

对我看来，美国教育存在最严重的问题是很多人上不起大学。虽然美国高等教育质量恐怕没有我们希望的那么完美，但是我不是怕我的教育没有外国人的那么好，而是担心上的起大学的人数逐渐减少。如果美国没有从大学毕业的人，就不能发展经济、社会和文化。

在有些欧洲的国家，其中有德国和瑞典，大学生不再得付钱上大学。我举双手赞成这样的措施！那两个国家明显地重视教育。我把美国政府也采取一个“学生不必付钱”的政策当成是梦想，但是我认为这个梦想不切实际。美国现在的高等教育制度有益于富人，因此他们有钱的人会反对改革。在美国，有钱的人也有政治权利，这造成有益于穷人的改革很少。很多人上不起大学的问题不但是教育存在的问题，而且也是政治和经济所存在的。

各位同学：

谢谢你们给我机会谈一谈据我所知美国教育制度的短处与长处。美国教育存在最严重的问题在数学方面。我最近在网上读到中国的初中学生的数学能力比美国大学生好。这表明美国数学教育的素质明显地不如中国数学教育。美国学校现在应该开始采取措施提高美国学生的数学水平。但美国的低数学水平并不说明美国教育很差。在文学方面，美国教育把抽象思维教得很好。中国人说美国教授重文轻理，可是美国人可以正好相反说中国人重理轻文。我认为学校因该把科学和文学平衡地教。这是我的看法。你们有没有问题？

各位老师，各位同学

  今天我很高兴有机会跟你们谈一谈美国高等教育的印象。我是一个留生。我把在美国留学当成我的理想。虽然美国教育处于领先地位，美国教育没有我想象那么完美。美国教育制度还有多长处。

美国大学生中文清理。学文学的大学生多于学科学的大学生。在美国，大学生有很多自由选课。 大学生以为学科学很困难。所以，他们重视学文科。据我所知，如果学科学的大学生一天比一天少，美国地科技怎么保持他的领先地位。

美国大学的学费太贵 。去高中学以后，许多没有钱的人不但不轻视教育的重视性，反而决定做工作。然后，这样的人没有机会找到给高收入地工作。他们的生活水平明显地不如大学生高。

这是我个人的看法。如果你又不对的地方，喜欢打架批评。谢谢

同学们好！

今天很高兴有机会跟大家谈一谈我对美国教育的印象。在我眼中，美国教育制度所存在的最严重的问题是学生重视玩笑轻视学习。许多美国学生目光短浅。学生来大学为了交新朋友不是为了提高自己。

可是据我所知，美国教育制度长处多于短处。美国教育常常鼓励思考反之中国教育鼓励语言强记能力。背诵有用是有用，可是为了提高科技水平，社会水平，得用思考。在美国大学毕业有益于将来找好工作。

世界上国家都有这样的问题所以我认为是社会的错。这是我个人的看法，如果有不对的地方，欢迎大家批评。谢谢。

各位老师，各位同学们,

在我看来，美国所存在教育问题十分严重。现在，美国的大学教育重文轻理。 还有，很多美国学生觉得上大学只是来玩、跳跳舞、喝喝酒或交朋友。最后，因为现在美国的经济和科技很发达，所以许多美国学生觉得美国会永远保持世界的领先的地位。但是，我觉得他们太目光短浅，因为别的国家已经开始赶上美国的教育水平。比如说，因为亚洲学生把学数学和学科学当成最重要，所以他们常常熬夜解决数学问题或者开发新的科技。因此，现在很多新的科技是从亚洲来的。照这样下去，美国在科学方面是不可能保持领先地位的。总之，美国学生的理想和亚洲学生的理想形成鲜明对比。

可是，虽然美国的教育制度有很多短处，但是我还觉得美国大学教育制度有很多长处。因此，我认为值得大家上大学。

这是我的看法。谢谢大家。

今天我想讨论我美国高等教育的印象。恐怕我和中国教授的意见形成鲜明对比. 虽然美国中学教育存在一些严重问题，但是美国高等教育是世界上最好的。在美国大学制度学生有自由选课，选专业。后果是学生成为负责任的个人。现在中国在科学方面是世界的领先地位。从中国教授角度来说，科学和科技是最重要的研究领域。我觉得这种看法是错误的。学习科学是重要，但是学习文科的时候，学生获得抽象解释和分析能力。这种能力可能最重要的。恐怕太多人认为文科不重要。他们觉得文科专业的学生不能找到高工资的工作。其实一位管理人告诉我文科专业学生是最好的员工。总之因为在美国大学文科与科学的平衡很好，美国高等教育有很多长处。

这是我个人的看法，如果有不对的地方，欢迎大家批评。谢谢。

请你找一张结婚照，描述这样照片，并说一说你为什么选择这张照片？你对这张照片的印象怎么样？

请用到以下词语来介绍照片：

丈夫，妻子，A和B结婚，Female嫁给male，male娶了female，生活的幸福，理想的一对，完美的婚姻

Due：星期五上课以前。

这种结婚照显示我的婚礼！

三年前我和我的妻子结婚了。我知道我的太太会能给我一个生活的幸福，所以我问她嫁给我。我们朋友们和家庭说我们是理想的一对。我觉得他们的看法不错误。我和我的妻子真有完美的婚姻。现在我们有一个小孩子。恐怕生活越来越繁复，但是我们还天天很高兴。

二零零九年Ben Affleck娶了Jennifer Garner。他们都是非常有名的演员。我爱看他们的电影！这张照片在他们的婚礼拍了。他们看很兴奋，也很快乐。

我对这张照片的印象很好。在好莱坞（Hollywood)一对儿往往离婚了。但是，Ben和Jen九年前结婚了！在我看来，他们是很理想的一对儿。他们好像生活得很幸福，也有完美的婚姻。

我选择这张照片因为这个一对儿明显地很快乐。在将来我希望我会谈恋爱，也会嫁给一个又帅，又聪明的男人。

这张照片显示丈夫和妻子的婚姻。丈夫穿的衣服很帅，妻子的裙子真漂亮。这位男人娶了一位女人，女人嫁给男人。他们结婚以后在海滩(hai3tan1, beach)一起跑。他们看起来特别快乐，给我一个理想的一对的印象。我希望他们可以天天增加快乐，互相帮忙一起变成更好的人。虽然没有人有完美的婚姻，可是互相听和说有益于一个生活的幸福。

从我的角度来看，美国教育所存在许多问题。我认为最严重的问题是许多学生不重视教育，他们的对教育的态度太稀松。没有多少国家提供免费教育，但是美国提供免费小学，初中学，和高中学。虽然有钱的学生和穷学生都可以录取上这个学校，但是他们都不重视教育。美国，欧洲国家，和亚洲国家都考大考的时候，美国取得了最糟糕的成绩。美国和别的发达最科技的国家形成对比。因为欧洲国家的学生和亚洲国家的学生从小的时候重视学习。比如在中国为了上一个有名的好大学，学生得在高中学习的方面保持领先的地位。他们每天好好学习，没有时间玩。他们准备为他们的高考与活力。因此，学生都很好胜。在美国，学生一般上学来交朋友。这就是为什么中国初中学生的数学水平比美国高中学生的水平高。不是美国学生不聪明，而是他们童年的时候不明白良好的教育的价值。上大学的时候美国学生明白了，但是这是为时已晚，因为中国学生的教育素质太高。这样一来，逐渐许多中国学生在美国大学毕业以后越来越收高工资的工作，而不是美国学生。如果美国想在科技方面保持领先的地位，逐渐许多美国学生得重视教育。

这是我个人的看法。如果你又不对的地方，喜欢打架批评。谢谢

照片里显示Mariah Carey和Nick Cannon 的结婚。2008年 Mariah Carey嫁给Nick Cannon. Cannon娶了Carey. 照片里显示他们和他们的双胞胎。我选择这个照片因为我觉得他们是很理想的一对。他们好像有一个全美的婚姻可是现在他们正在离婚。我对这个新闻的印象很差。我觉得他们是一个可爱的一对。很多人觉得他们生活得很幸福。可是明显他们现在不想一起住。我可怜他们的儿童因为儿童肯定会伤心。明星往往结婚离婚，太可惜了。

We choose this time of the semester to do this wall post because we hope you will get the following things from doing this post (1) analyzing your current writing skills in Chinese (2) reflect on tools and practices that can help to improve your writing (3) avoid your own mistakes in the upcoming test2

We would suggest you to have some of your writing in hand, observe what/how you have done and then reflect. Writing materials can be: write/printed homework from recent week5-week8; wall post first draft and/or advanced version and/or the version with feedback; test1 take home essays etc.

Here are some guiding questions for you:

1.What are some “bottlenecks” for your writing? Is it lack of knowledge of a certain grammatical structure or rather just taking an easy “Panda” way out? Etc.

2.What have you improved in writing? Such as forming longer sentences, writing in a more logical way in Chinese? Etc. And what have you done to achieve that?

3.Please set a list of 5 mistakes you have made from your writing so far, and list the correct ones with a simpleexplanation on why the correct one is correct in a Chinese way. Set these five as something that you will definitely avoid in our upcoming test2 writing.

Example: I made a mistake in A对B感兴趣, I wrote 中文对我感兴趣，yet the correct one is 我对中文感兴趣。The mistake is made because in English we say To Me,… is interesting, yet in Chinese the subject is the generator for the action and in this case the action is 感兴趣，so the subject should be a person.

4.In terms of classroom instruction and written feedbacks, how do you find the following useful/not useful? Such as the wall-first draft-advanced level cycle, a feedback ppt on grammar issues from homework, the one-on-one meeting after major tests etc. etc.

5.Any constructive suggestions for the class instructions to help improve your writing?

6.We know that “writing is a personal thing”, yet we are in a learning community and we do not want to feel alone, so please comment on one of your classmate’s post.

On my wall post concerning beggar issues, I used 时尚时尚to describe someone’s clothing, when this

does not follow the AABB format for describing something. I should have written 衣服很时时尚尚的.

On test 1 I made a mistake in the 为了...而format; I wrote 为了过一个好暑假而打算做一个事情which didn't follow the result-cause format. The correct version was 为了过一个好玩的暑假而只选一件事.

Another mistake I made in test 1 was with A和B有关系, I wrote 环境保护的关系but this is just one subject and there must be two for the grammar to make sense. I should have written 注意环境保护和人口增多的关系.

In the lesson 7 review I wrote 她每天好好学习, 渐渐走上了成功的道路, when 走上了noun的道路can only have a country as the subject, not an individual person. It did not make sense to use this phrase when describing someone’s study habits and her eventual success.

Lastly, I used grammatical structure below 3010 level on the American education issues wall post by writing 美国大学也有很多问题, which should have been upgraded to say但美国大学存在问题又多又严重.

My writing weaknesses usually involve “Panda Express” writing. When I can’t find a way of saying something, I resort to writing it in very simple terms that ideally should be upgraded to a higher level of writing. However, I have improved since the beginning of the semester with this weakness. By slowly learning new grammatical structures my writing seems to have improved and I more often use these new structures rather than resorting to simple expression of ideas.

I find going over issues in our writing during class on the PowerPoint is helpful. Seeing my mistakes corrected on paper doesn’t always make sense and it helps to have what was wrong explained.

Mistakes that I have made:

1. I made a mistake in using the 走上。。。的道路sentence structure. I said “从我出生的时候，我渐渐走上了我的父母的走道”，when this structure is supposed to be used to discuss something of wider societal scope. For example, saying “自从十世纪初期，英国渐渐走上了比较民主的走道” would have been the correct use of this structure.

2. For the 除非 structure, I said “我一般会做我的功课，除非我把功课忘记了” when the two parts of the sentence should have been reversed: “除非我把功课忘记了，我一般会做我的功课”.

3. One recurrent issue I have is using “规定” and “措施” incorrectly. I use them like they are synonymous, but “规定” refers to provisions, or stipulations, while “措施” refers to measures. For example, I said “我觉得政府要采取动物试验规定” when I should have said “我觉得政府要采取动物试验措施的标准”

4. In my Environmental essay, I used “panda express” language, saying “我觉得这个污染是从我们浪费能源的” when the correct way was to use the “从。。。开始的” structure. “我觉得这个污染是从我们浪费能源开始的” would be better.

5. I used the “帮忙” structure incorrectly. I said “我们得应该帮忙真正赚不了钱的乞丐” when the structure is supposed to be “帮” or “帮忙”. The correct sentence would be written this way: “我们得帮真正赚不了钱的气概”.

“Bottlenecks” in my writing are from a combination of lacking knowledge of certain grammatical structures and taking the easy “panda” way out. If I had a working understanding of most of the grammatical structures that we learn, I wouldn’t have the need to fall back on my Americanized Chinese. Having the class PowerPoints pulled up as I write definitely helps me avoid Panda Express and helps me use the grammatical structures we have correctly.

张如意, I also struggle a lot with “Panda Express” writing because it just seems easier to express what I want to say. I’m glad your writing is improving. I hope I can say that about mine as well! I agree that going over our writing problems in class is very helpful, as I also have a hard time understanding the corrections on my papers. As a class I hope we can all upgrade our Chinese levels to 3010 and beyond.

-I have a lot of typos in the writing when I typed. for example I want to type 钱 but it happened that I chose this 前 － Sometimes, subject of the sentence is not clear. For example 为了知道病的人的药对人安全不安全，而要做研究。 I should put 科学家in front of the sentence

-Choice of word problem: from the test 1 the sentence “他尽量避免痛动物" the word 痛 is supposed to be 伤害 instead -I just learn to use 够 I have known this word but never be able to use it correctly.for example, 我的钱不够。or 我有不够的钱。

-I was confused about how to use 被 and 把。and now it makes more sense. For example,女人被麦当劳赔钱。

－my writing is lack of coherent. As I learn more conjunction word, it helps. 5. I feel like "panda express" is pretty much everybody's problem because we are learning something that we are not get used to. I agree with 谢珍妮. Our chinese writing skill will get better as we learn from our mistake. Writing essay in "panda" way is my weakest point too.

Here are a list of 5 mistakes I have made:

1. “我们的教学科的素质不太高”-Here, I wrote 素质in reference to quality of the class I was taking. However, 素质references to the quality of people rather than a class. I should say “数学老师的素质不太高" instead.
2. “就可以环境保护”--Here I did the mistake of "noun+verb" instead of "verb+noun". The verb needs to be first because I'm using it as a verb. I should be saying "就可以保护环境”。"环境保护”turns the phrase into a noun.
3. I keep forgetting the use of "虽然。。。但是". In one of my essays, I included "虽然" but not "但是". In order for the sentence to flow better, both these words must be used when using one.
4. Another phrase I keep forgetting the components of is the phrase "要是。。。就”. I keep forgetting to add the 就 in order for the sentence to flow better.
5. Instead of just saying "人", 人类/人们 is a much better vocab word to address people, because writers rarely just use 人 by itself.

I think that the feedback powerpoints are very helpful, and I imagine myself using them for future reference when working on the upcoming book project due and  essays. The one-on-one meetings are also very helpful, because sometimes some of the notes on the papers are very minimal and hard to decipher by myself.

谢珍妮 & 张如意-- I agree with you on taking the easy "panda express" way out! This is my bottleneck as well. There are always chances when I can upgrade my Chinese when writing. I do that all the time, because I don't want to find the complex way of taking it. Chinese has a very interesting grammatical structure that is different from English. We can speak Chinese very informally, but writing is always done on a more formal platform. I think with 储 Laoshi's helpful powerpoints and tips, we'll all be sure to improve exercise our writing in Chinese muscle! :)

While I believe that my Chinese writing level has improved over the course of this semester thus far, I know that there is definitely still room for a lot of improvement. I think my writing has improved, because I try to pay careful attention to how to correctly use the new grammar structures and vocabulary each lesson. I think it has really helped me to use the textbook as a reference; I look at their examples and can see how to use the structures and words in context. However, I sometimes struggle to remember the proper or correct ways to use certain grammatical structures and patterns from previous lessons; subsequently, I often end up sounding very “panda express.” For me, I don't believe my use of “panda express” sounding structures results from being lazy; rather, I think I may just lack the knowledge of some of the critical grammatical structures. Therefore, this semester, I really want to continue to work on sounding less “panda express.”

I think that the wall task feedback and homework corrections are really helpful, because they provide another resource to look back on when writing new posts or studying for the tests.

I think it could be helpful if the PowerPoints included more full sentence examples of how to use the new structures. Sometimes when I try to look back on the PowerPoints after class I cannot remember how to use the structure when we are only given the beginning of a sentence and asked to fill it in on our own using the new structures.

Corrections:

1) I made a mistake in A对B感到惊讶. I wrote他们的自大对我感到惊讶. However, the correct way to use the structure is: 我对他们的自大感到惊讶. To say it the way I did is a panda express translation, because in English we say: “their arrogance to me is surprising.” However, in Chinese, we must put “我” first, because “I” is the subject that generates the action of becoming surprised. A way to help me remember how to use this structure correctly will be to think of it as: I by their arrogance am surprised.

2) I made a mistake in using 一直vs. using 再继续. I wrote: 在我们的世界里，每个国家都有很多乞丐，但许多人再继续忽略他们. However I should have written: 在我们的世界里，每个国家都有很多乞丐，但许多人一直忽略他们， because 继续means after a stop, people continue to do something, whereas 一直means that people always do something. In this case, I was trying to say that most people always ignore them.

3) I made a mistake in using A对B有／没有同情心（N). I wrote: [他们]不给乞丐同情心，but I should have said 他们对乞丐没有同情心. I accidentally made a very “panda express” translation, as I did not yet understand how to use the structure correctly. I said that they do not give the beggars sympathy, when I really should have said they do not have any sympathy towards the beggar. Also, in the context of my overall sentence, I probably should have use the “同情+Verb” structure.

4) On the first test, I wrote: 我觉得政府得增加环境规定。However, I should have written我觉得政府应该多采取措施来保护环境， because I meant to say that the government should take more measures to protect the environment. Here, my sentence was too “panda express,” as I used the English sentence structure and simply translated each word into Chinese.  Using the new structure, I can also incorporate the 3010 structure of V1来V2。

5)  On my task 6 post, I also made the mistake of using language from 2020, when I should have updated my sentence to include more advanced vocabulary and structures from 3010. I wrote 很多学生从公立初中毕业以后还不会阅读或者解决数学问题; however, I should have written: 很多学生从公立初中毕业的后，他们的能力还很低。

I also agree with 谢珍妮and张如意 that going over the mistakes many of us have made in our writing in class is really helpful. I also do not always understand the comments on paper. Also, I think it is helpful, because sometimes when I just make the corrections on the paper, I do not really understand why what I did was wrong, or after I make the corrections, I sometimes forget and make the same mistake again in later writings. Going over it in class really reinforces the mistakes, and I think it will help prevent me from making the same mistakes over and over again.

At the moment I feel that my improvement in writing (at least in the writing I can spontaneously produce) is not progressing very much. Part of the reason I am not developing many new skills is that I am still correcting errors from the 二年级material – although I do feel like this improvement is a success of sorts. Perhaps this is how learning works for me:  the new material gets “filed away” for a while and then comes forward little by little. I am successful in how I use the new material in assignments. I think the ppt grammar presentations are generally clear. I also think that revising the wall posts is the best way to improve the writing. I like that the wall post assignments are not long, and the chance to revise them with feedback is very useful (although sometimes I cannot read the grader’s handwriting!).  One thing that remains unclear to me is why and when I should use the new grammar and vocabulary. For example, why use 与instead of 和? And why use 而 because the meaning is the same when you omit it. Is it a matter of formality? Why do I need to learn how to write in a more formal style when the vocabulary and grammar we learned in 二年级 is sufficient? Perhaps 老师can help us understand…

My mistakes: 

-Knowing when to use topic/comment. I have to be alert to only use topic/comment structures when a new topic has already been stated.

-I have a habit of putting the verb at the end of sentences (because this is how Tibetan grammar works). So instead of我想尽量家里留, it should be我想尽量留家里 (verb comes before noun, just like English!).

-而should be used to connect two verb phrases to show purpose and result.. 为了保护动物而动物实验是没有道理的 is totally wrong. It should be为了保护动物而政府应该杜绝(put a stop to)动物实验.

-都 is best used as an adverb. 美国大学质量都不是那么高is better than 不都美国大学质量那么高。

- Two-word adjectives are better than single-word adjectives. E.g., 足够 is better than just 够.

Like the other students said, upgrading from panda express is the big task ahead of us. Although I don’t always know what is panda express until laoshi scolds me!

1) using "走上......的道路“. Like 珍妮, I didn't realize that this structure was only meant to be used in reference to a country adopting new societal measures; I used it to refer to a personal change in saying "他......走上老子的道路，“ meaning that "He followed the path of Lao-tzu." A sentence such as "美国一定走上法治的道路“ would be a more appropriate usage of this structure.

2) Sometimes I forget to use “有” in conjunction with “其中”. For instance, I once wrote on a homework assignment "我看到的动物很多，其中大熊猫和大象". This is incorrect, and I should have written "我看到的动物很多，其中有大熊猫和大象".

3) sometimes I use “在” incorrectly (this is an 一年级 mistake!), forgetting to use it in conjunction with 里/上/方面..." For instance, I once wrote "在最近时间“ at the beginning of a wall post. It would have been more correct to have said, "在最近一段时间里”.

4) Using "痛苦“ as a noun only; 痛苦 can also serve as an adjective. On the wall post about 乞丐, I wrote "他们的痛苦很大," but instead I could have written “他们很痛苦”. This is shorter and sounds much better!

5) “如果美国没有大学毕业的人，就不能发展经济、社会和文化“. The problem here is that you shouldn't say "大学毕业的人”；instead, "从大学毕业的人” makes more sense. In English we say "University graduates," and that's what I was going for, but this is Panda Express--because I was using "的," however, saying "people who have graduated >>from<< college," makes more logical sense.

思博 - I definitely understand what you are saying about "filing" information away and having it come forward little by little; I feel like this a lot when learning Chinese. Old structures that used to be very complex and inaccessible to me start to become much more familiar over time as I'm learning new things, and I find that I'm more comfortable integrating things into my writing and speech a while after we've sort of "moved on."

I feel like I have made a lot of progress with my writing in this class! Despite my progress, Here are some of the numerous mistakes I have made so far....

I made a mistake using 交换思想when I should’ve wrote 交流思想. My mistake was not recognizing the common idiom pairing of 交流 and 思想. I was thinking more in terms of English, first translating the word “exchange” then translating the word “ideas.” I should have recognized the common pairing and used 交流思想.

On Task 2 Advanced, I mistakenly wrote 面对这个问题有益于对后代, when I should’ve wrote 减少乱扔垃圾有益于环境保护. This was a very egregious misuse of 有益于and to be honest, I’m not quite sure what I was thinking when I wrote that sentence in that way.

Also on Task 2 Advanced, I used 对我来说…when I should’ve used 在我看来. This structure would have made the entire sentence’s meaning clearer and improved the readability of my writing. I was thinking in the simplistic version of “to me” when I should have wrote “in my opinion,” with 在我看来。

A third mistake on Task 2 Advanced was not using the phrase 把对放在someplace. That is the meaning I intended to convey using wordy sentences that were not concise. I should have said 把垃圾桶放在所有地方to say we should place trashcans all over the place.

One simple mistake I made on a homework assignment was writing 每个学生找工作when I should have wrote每个学生都在找工作. This is a misuse of the incredibly simple phrase 每个…都. This mistake was made because in English I would say every student is looking for a job, but in Chinese, we have to include 都along with 每个.

睿州-I definitely see how you made the mistake using 走上...的道路. I too was not aware that that structure only applied to countries using societal measures. Also, I completely understand what you're saying about directly translating from English. Unfortunately, that is a very common mistake that can only be addressed with additional practice and years of experience. Even after living in China for 4 years, I do that all the time!

1) I have used “不是。。。就是。。。”when i meant "不是。。。而是。。。“

e.g。"不是只美国教育存在问题，就是世界上的国家教育都存在问题。“This is wrong because I meant "Not...but rather." However, in this case I wrote “If it's not this...its this."

2) 逐渐 needs to be followed by a two syllable word. This is just more rhythmic and correct.

e.g. I wrote 逐渐多。 Instead it should have been 逐渐许多

3）I have used the word 修 for 修问题， when I should have used the words 解决问题。The former is used more for fixing something like physically fixing something, such as an appliance; whereas, the latter is used for solving a problem.

4) I've used 素质 to describe the quality of the education in America. However, 素质is used really only for people. 质量 is more appropriate.

5) When I tried to describe American students as shortsighted, I wrote, 学生是目光短浅的。However that is incorrect because it does not need the 的 at the end. It is just that the students are shortsighted. Short-sighted is already an adjective and does not need the 的。

金莉。I definitely still have the problem as well where I use panda express sometimes to express what I mean. I specifically had problems with the 采取grammar or usage of taking measures to do something. Sometimes I just translate via panda express when I don't know how to fully express my thoughts. It just comes out a lot easier to directly translate what I am thinking, but unfortunately that makes for bad Chinese.

One sentence that was written in my Test 1 was “我写这个信为了道歉我们的错误" when it should be 我写这个信为了我们的错误道歉。I did this because in English we would say to apologize for our mistakes but in Chinese the verb is usually the last part in the sentence. Also another little mistake was I wrote 在世界里污染。。。when it should have been 世界上的污染。。。I used 里because in English we say "in theworld” but in Chinese we have to say “on the world” and the 在unnecessary because it sounds a little repetitive. I also wrote即使我觉得动物很重要，人比动物重要instead of 即使我觉得动物很重要，我也觉得人比动物重要。I learned that 即使always goes with 也and that I should repeat the subject to make it clearer. Another sentence I wrote was 。。。解决当然不是黑白分明instead of 问题解决当然不是黑白分明。I learned that 解决and问题should go together. Another sentence involving 解决was 但是随乱给他们钱不是一个好解决instead of 但是随乱给他们钱不是一个好的解决办法。I learned that 解决should have 办法if you're talking about a good solution.

I think the PowerPoints that go over the common mistakes in our homework was really helpful since there were examples of good and bad sentence structures. I think having examples is the most helpful way to improve on the grammar structures and I think PowerPoints with just examples of sentences would be very helpful.

于瞻瞻，I agree with your thoughts on the logical flow of essays. I have the same problem having a flow in my essays and I feel like my essays sometimes flow but later when I look at it, I definitely don’t have a flow. I also think it is hard getting used to the new grammar structures and I feel like I forget them easily.

As far as my grammatical errors are concerned, I can easily think of five specific examples:

1- I've used 理解 when talking about a person when the correct word for 'understand' referring to people is 了解.

2- On my first test, I used 全国家 as opposed to 整个国家 when referring to the country as a whole. One would never really say 全国家后来会有问题. It fundamentally doesn't make any sense.

3- I have failed to distinguish between 而 and 而且. The former is used to fuse to comparative phrases together whereas the latter is simply a method of connecting two independent-yet-related clauses.

4- I've used 就是 where 而是 should be -- 而是, when preceded by 不是 determines what exactly something is if it isn't whatever follows the 不是。

5- I've in general used a lot of 口语 in my writing. Terrible flaw, I know. But my repertoire of characters is quite small, so I hope that this will improve with time.

瞻瞻 - It can be terribly difficult to incorporate new grammar patterns into your speech to begin with. Hopefully with ample practice, we can all succeed in expanding our horizons and becoming true 中国通s!

我今天要说美国教育存在问题。我觉得美国教育制度是世界上最好的，但是在美国教育制度存在一些问题。美国教育制度轻视国外留学经验的重要性。我看到了报告说美国学生能流利地说一种语言，而欧洲人能流利地说两或三种语言。我认为这不是社会的问题，而是美国教育制度的问题。我认为美国的政府应该帮学生发展全球视野：让每个学生出国留学，多上国际历史课，和跟不同国家的同学们交换意见。大学应该录取有国际经验的学生。因为我在上海上国际学校的高中，所以我每天会跟中国人、荷兰人、韩国人、等聊天和交流思想。我希望你们都会有这样的经验。

不同意同情乞丐因为如果人们每次帮助乞丐，他们就养成靠别人的习惯。

但是通过做工作学会负责任。

但是她们之间的关系不像夫妻，而是像父女。常有的不是夫妻之间有爱情，而是在妻子和丈夫的钱有爱情。

我的最喜欢的美国总统是 Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter 成为美国总统的时候，美国进入一个很难的时代。在1977 不但美国经济有难题，而且世界上很多国家有争执。但是Jimmy Carter 常常提倡和平（安）。总统任期以后Jimmy Carter开始一些世界和平与人权组织。总之Jimmy Carter的人品好极了。他没有任何丑闻还有他还促进世界和平。

他建Fuda, 也创建了我们的“academical village。” 这是我最值得骄傲的事情之一。还有，如果他不建Fuda，我现在就会以在富达上大学。

因此，我对他很感谢。但是, 他有一个短处。Jefferson鼓励奴隶制度。

我不喜欢任何美国总统因为我并不认识他们。可是George Washington 看来一个好人。人类想让他为王可是他说他不想当王。所以他当美国的第一总统。即使我不见面他，他看来还有很好的人品。我觉得他没有任何的丑闻。故事里他永远很可亲。我不喜欢任何美国总统可是George Washington 还行。

我最喜欢的美国总统是亚伯拉罕林肯（ya4bo2la1han3 lin2ken3 Abraham Lincoln），美国第十六的总统。虽然林肯小时候是一个没有教育的农民，可是他自己学习，长大的时候成了一个律师。他一次又一次显出他的能力和人品。他的人品好到大家都叫他“诚实亚伯”，甚至很多人为了人品选他当总统。他做总统的时候很有效，可是一些人觉得他的政治太极端了，就把他杀了。

这个广告鼓励大家用保险套。这个广告鼓励大家都用保险套。在这个广告里，爸爸与儿子是在一家杂货店来买食品。但是，爸爸不可以顺利购物，因为他的儿子开始抱怨，也开始大呼小叫, 因为他想买糖果。儿子的大呼小叫让爸爸下不了台了。这个保险套的公司要鼓励个人都不随便有婚前性、永远用保险套。避孕不但防止怀孕，而且防止性病。我觉得这个广告又好又有效，因为故事又好笑又难忘。

这条广告很简单，可是意思很清楚。广告说一个童车一边（baby carrier）是两百十七块钱，保险套一边是两块五毛钱。这表示用保险套可以让你省很多钱因为可以防止生孩子。虽然这条广告做得很好，可是也显示我们的社会逐渐比较开通。像这样的保险套广告鼓励大家随便婚前有性关系。我认为我们的社会有一点太开通了。

其实这个功课使我感到不舒服。我觉得“发生关系”是特别隐私的事情。因为我比我的同学十七年大，我觉得这种话题很不当。但是我会介绍一张照片。现在我有一个小孩子所以我知道所有一个孩子要很多工夫。人类都应该跟 “朋友” 当心地 “睡觉”。

这条广告的观点就是要是夫妻互相同意后来养孩子，最好的方法就是发生关系的时候用保险套。这条广告有一对儿夫妻在看他们的够睡觉。有些人还没准备养孩子，所以养小够。养够的困难比养孩子的少。小够睡觉没有问题，小孩子睡得很中断，晚上父母睡不着。很多夫妻为了避孕而用保险套。

我觉得这个话题很奇怪。我从来没有看到一个保险套所以这个功课令我很惊讶。这个保险套广告是Durex公司的。这个公司就用双关语为了卖很多保险套。这个广告上显示一个足球和一个庸俗的双关语。其实我不喜欢这样的广告。是我第一次看到这样的广告。避孕是重要的可是随便卖保险套鼓励很差的习惯比如婚前和婚外的性关系。

有些人完全不同意用保险套，这有什么好大惊小怪的呢！买保险套很方便，只要放一块钱在售货机，售货机就自动出一个保险套。

美国真是开放了，那些太不像话保险套的广告是证明。

在我看来，美国社会所存在最严重的儿童问题就是玩电脑游戏的时间太多。现在的小孩都有自己的手机，iPad，电视，等等。少量玩电脑游戏可能没有什么大坏处，但是每天几个小时坐在家不出去玩儿一定会对孩子的身心健康无益于。我家附近的小孩平均每日玩电脑游戏或看电视的时间令我忧虑。我觉得美国的父母应该鼓励他们的小孩子多出去玩，少玩电脑游戏。

今天儿童面临的两个最重要问题是耍流氓和科技上瘾。听起来在美国中小学校很多学生面临耍流氓。孩子被欺负的时候，他们常常发达心理障碍。

别的问题是科技上瘾。在我的经验来说孩子不能停在看手机还是 I pads 什么的。上课的时候这个习惯是非常不好的。另外学生的娱乐增加了。现在他们常常不能专注于学习。

这个问题是时代社会的问题。但是在学校可能投入精力这样问题。

我觉得在富裕的社会心理障碍是最大难题。在美国许多孩子的食够了钱够了所以他们有很多时间察觉自身。他们有很多时间想自身因此许多人有心理障碍。孩子很寂寞，感觉人们忽视他们。由于孩子越来越寂寞他们养成很差的习惯比如服药，喝很多酒，发生性关系什么的。这样的问题是现代化的价格。

在我看来，美国现在所存在很重要的问题是肥胖的儿童越来越多。虽然最近几年美国经济发展很快，但是青少年的营养状态下降了。在美国的现代社会里，肥胖型儿童越来越多。在我看来，孩子的身体状况也今人怀疑。由于偏食，这几个孩子的营养状态很差。 另外，很多儿童越来越很肥胖，因为他们的活动量非常小。很多儿童比较喜欢在家里打视频游戏或者看电视。他们不常常在外面玩游戏。

在我看来，他们的健康情况非常严重。为了提高儿童的身体健康的水平，家长需要提高自身素质，学习一些关于身体健康教育方面的知识。

我眼中现代儿童的问题是家长忽视孩子。忽视孩子不是因为家长不爱他们，而经济状况另他们忧虑。因此，很多家长天天为了赚钱打工。父母当然是为了给家庭好的生活想赚钱，可是他们该忧虑的不忧虑，不该忧虑的倒忧虑。很多小孩子很寂寞因为他们的父母从来不在家。在孩子心理角度看来，有更多钱不如跟孩子花时间。我认为父母得记得孩子需要爱情才能成为健康的成人。
