I am from China. My name is Haoyuan Duan, but you guys can call me Kurt. That is my English name, it is from my favorite rockstar Kurt Cobain. As my English name, my hobby is rock music. And I am a good drumer and I can play a little bit guitar. I am going to learn Film production in the UCA. I think most challenging being a student at aUK university is how to make friends. I am not sure what I want to do in the future, but I will try to find the answer.]]> 2023-06-21 18:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2629382853 Sustainbility about my hometowm 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2634480016 My hometown Lanzhou is a small city, where people don't have much awareness of environmental protection and sustainable recycling. I only found some seemingly relevant things to use for demonstration.

However, I once participated in a zero waste Frisbee competition where they recycled plastic waste and turned it into towels to be given to the participants. They also picked up trash on the beach and made it into medals. I will incorporate the concept of sustainable development into my daily life from now on." ]]> 2023-06-28 16:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2634481357 I've learned about Sustainbility so far 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2634486830 In my previous life, I didn't have much understanding of sustainability, but after taking two classes with Timothy, I found that it is a very important issue. Sustainability includes three aspects: social, environmental, and economic. Although these things may not have much to do with our daily lives, they are closely related to the future of each of us and the future of the planet.]]> 2023-06-28 17:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2634486830 Companie related to sustainability 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2634493823 EcoBirdy is a furniture brand from Belgium that produces all of its furniture using 100% recycled plastic waste. The furniture made from plastic waste is colorful without the need for any additional coloring, making it perfect for children. I find this very interesting. 
Here is their production process in brief: EcoBirdy collects plastic toys from schools, unpacks them in a covered workshop, and inspects them to ensure that no harmful substances, such as batteries and textiles, are present. Then, all the recyclable plastic toys are placed in a large container and transported to a specialized recycling center.

Before starting to research this topic, I didn't think about the harm that movies can cause to the environment, until I saw a set of data on a webpage: "According to the data from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, producing a one-hour TV program in the UK, whether it is a drama or non-drama film, will produce 13 tons of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to the average CO2 emissions of an American in one year. A 2006 study by UCLA found that California's film and television industry produced 8.4 million tons of carbon dioxide, while the entire US film and television industry emitted as much as 15 million tons." I was shocked by the pollution caused by filming, the large amount of electricity used, the harm caused to the local environment by outdoor scenes, and some cases were simply appalling. Then I started looking for film companies that try to solve the problem, and I was glad that I found them. China's largest film studio "Hengdian" noticed this problem and updated a large number of solar power generation facilities in the studio to replace traditional power generation equipment. This can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 42,000 tons per year.

The first step is to describe what happened, including the time, place, people involved, and the outcome. 

The second step is to explore my own feeling and thoughts during the experience. 

The third step is to evaluate or judge what happened, considering what was good and bad about the experience. 

The fourth step is to analyze what happened, searching for meaning in academic literature. 

The fifth step is to summarize what I learned from the experience and what actions could have been taken. 

The final step is to make an action plan for how I can behave differently in the future.

In my pre-college course, I can use Glibb's reflective cycle to enhance my learning. I can effectively fill in gaps and reflect on my shortcomings, as well as consider how I can improve in future language learning.]]> 2023-07-01 14:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636336904 Mindmap 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636337162 2023-07-01 14:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636337162 Classroom group discussion 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636345576 2023-07-01 15:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636345576 CRAAP on class 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636355602 2023-07-01 16:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636355602 Weekly reflective （sustainbility weeek1） 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2636362592 1.For Monday to Thursday, my classmates and I studied English and sustainable development in MR. Timothy's class. On Monday, Glibb's reflective cycle was introduced, and on Tuesday we focused on resources and referencing. I had to take a day off on Wednesday to accompany my grandfather in the hospital, but I caught up with the CRAAP topic. It seems like we didn't learn any new concepts on Thursday. On Friday's class, I learned how to search for books using the school library program.

2.I feel that the content this week is gradually becoming more difficult, and I couldn't understand many of the words in class, so I had to use translation software. The homework pressure is also relatively high, especially the video assignment given on Friday.

3.I have learned a lot of new things this week, but my learning enthusiasm has decreased, and my attention in class has also declined. I need to correct this in a timely manner next week. The good thing is that I did well in self-learning after missing Wednesday's class.

4.I think a positive attitude is very important in learning, and I cannot become a passive learner.

5.I have learned new knowledge, new words, and new concepts. Many of these new things are related to our daily lives, and some knowledge can help me become a more environmentally friendly person. I need to work hard in my preparatory course to achieve my goal of entering UCA.

6.In the next week's study, I will plan my tasks and execute them accordingly. I think I don't need external resources to help me; I just need to work harder and focus more.

I had to take two days off to take care of him and attend his funeral, which caused me to miss some classes. And I didn't have time to complete any homework either. Chinese funerals are so complicated and cumbersome.Many of last week's classes focused on how to give a good speech. I learned speaking skills such as starting a speech with facts, questions, or jokes to capture the audience's attention.

2.I was very sad because of my grandfather's passing. I couldn't concentrate in class, which was really bad. To be honest, I became very sad again while writing this weekly reflection...

3.I performed poorly last week, and I don't think there was anything I did well. In my first weekly reflection, I said I would focus more in the second week, but obviously, I didn't do that.

4.It seems that the reason why I performed poorly in class was because I was worried about my grandfather's health and his eventual passing. However, I need to try my best to pull myself together, focus in class, and participate more in classroom interactions.

5.The public speaking skills I learned last week were very helpful to me. I am an introverted person, and I lack confidence and get very nervous when it comes to socializing and giving speeches. However, through the speaking skills I learned, I realized that I couldn't show my lack of confidence and fear because it would only make my speech and social interactions worse.

6.This week, I will catch up on all the overdue assignments and prepare for the next presentation with my group members. Additionally, I will try my best to apply the public speaking skills I learned to my next presentation and my daily social interactions.]]> 2023-07-11 18:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2642885763 Cups 23043211 https://padlet.com/23043211/nrk1z0xj0qptuhj2/wish/2642894526 1.Gumdrop reusable cup 
This cup is environmentally friendly due to the material, but it has poor insulation (Chinese people prefer drinking hot water) and a nice overall design. However, it is a bit expensive, so I don't think I will buy this cup.

2.Glass reusable cup 
This cup also uses environmentally friendly materials, but it has better insulation than the first cup. It also has a nice overall design and is not expensive. I will buy this cup.

3.Disposable Paper Cups Thickened Hard Bamboo Fiber 
The material of the third cup is not environmentally friendly, and in my daily life, I try my best to avoid using disposable items. Although it is not expensive, it is also not convenient to use. I will not buy this cup.
