personally,i believe the seminar helps students to understand the subject more deeply. at the same time I tend to think that the seminar improves students' ability to think critically.

after learning, I strongly believe we should have seminars to give us a chance to share ideas and insights with other students.

I definitely think that I should improve my grammar and vocabulary everyday, for example, watching videos, reading magazine and reading newspapers.  ]]> 2017-10-04 22:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/194105549 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/195025473 today was Thursday .in language class.

personally,i have learned about some detail of the sending email.for example, when writing a formal email the first thing you need to do is make sure you have an appropriate email address.remember to make sure your email has a clear subject, people tend to treat emails with(no subject) as spam and not look at them.and only use the person's first name if you know them well. if you do not know the person's name, write Dear Sir or Madam.

our assignment is writing a formal email .this should be covered sheet including assignment title ,student's name, tutor' s name, submission date and word count.

It is generally accepted that globalization is encouraging better standard for the environment, literacy, health, working conditions.and then globalization brings the development of economy, for example, it enables products to be produced wherever it is most efficient to do so.and leads to better products, which are more  cost effective to produce and therefore cheaper for everyone.

However,first,globalization  widens the gap between the rich and the poor.making the rich get more rich, the poor get more poor .second, it damages the natural environment,it  is possible that leads to global warming.
This is my for and against opinion.]]> 2017-10-10 05:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/195448343 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/195449990 I am Michel from France, globalization definitely made a world smaller, but I do not think it fair place.

In addition, improves the quality of manufacturing industry , leading to more jobs and pay. On the other hand, it can widens the gap between the rich and poor.and then destroys local cultures and traditions.

My view is globalization has some advantages and disadvantages.

Speaking a language well involves developing a number of different aspects. Fluency is the ability to speak easily and smoothly. Accuracy is the ability to work or perform without making mistakes. Pronunciation is to make the sound of (a word or letter)with your voice. Stress is the greater loudness or force given to a syllable or word in speech. Intonation is the rise and fall in the sound of your voice when you speak.   

Another usual technique for giving a presentation is using"signposting language". Presenters will use cue words or signposting expressions that indicate to the listener what to expect. The function are introducing the topic, overview(outline of presentation),finishing a section, starting a new section, summarizing and concluding and invitation to discuss/ask questions.

Our class topic is critical thinking, it means disciplined intellectual criticism that combines research, knowledge of historical context, and balanced judgment. We have discussed the topic is children are infinitely  better at learning languages than we(adults)are. The discussion result are adults understand more, but children have good memory. 
It is a major requirement for successful academic Britain study is critical thinking. We have learned Kaufman's text and Yang's. Kaufman's text has multi-faceted opinions and supported with some evidence for the topic. In my view. I think critical thinking is more important in my subjects than others. 

After learning, I learn more critical thinking skills.We should read and respond actively to an article by giving themselves questions.    It is equally essential to use this skills when you writing academic homework and discussing in groups.]]> 2017-10-25 21:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/200622188 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/200627224 I have learned a text was Cluster sampling in business and management research. I read this text quickly. I remembered this text said the definition of cluster sampling. Cluster sampling is similar to stratified sampling in that both techniques require the researcher to sub-driver a population into a set of mutually exclusive and exhaustive sub-groups. When I read, I did not understand a word in this sentence, this word is a stratified. So I take it into my notes. After I finished reading, I used a dictionary to check this word meaning. When you read the text using the dictionary, it can slow you down. This text tell us the benefits of the cluster sample are that one does not require a precise sampling frame, and that it can be used where the population is widely distributed geographically.

However, both working from home and working from offices are many disadvantages and advantages. This essay will discuss three aspects of them, for example, working time management, spare time and places of working.

One major difference between working hours from home and working hours on offices, is the time management. Working from home will schedule your working time by yourself. How much time you want to rest and how long you want to work. As for you, it is flexible that you work from home. It is possible that you will be lazy and work inefficient. Nevertheless, if you work on offices, you will have a strict timetable. You must work on time and tap your staff card everyday. You boss check your attendance when ending of month. If you absent one hour or one day, for example, your boss can cut your salary depend on your attendance. As a result, many people like working from home to decide their work time flexibly.

Another major difference is the place of working. Working from home. You can work from wherever you want. Take a cafe for example, cafe environment maybe is suitable to you. There are soft sofa, elegant background music and quite settings. A large number of people want to work from cafe. If you choose to work at home, you will work comfortable. On the other hand, you just work on your seat everyday. For instance, when you have break time in the afternoon. you don't have a sofa bed to take a rest. You work inefficient when you rest less time.

A third difference work in the way people are able to spend their free time. You spend more time communicating with your friend and parents. It can strengthen your relationship. Sometimes you eat together with them and your meal is delicious. But you work on offices. You pay your meal everyday. maybe you do not like to eat. It is bad for your health for a long time. Extra cost you pay everyday, for example, your meal, parking or bus ticket, waiting car time and peak hours if you work on offices.

In conclusion, working from home and working on offices vary in terms of jobs hours, jobs of places and entertainment time. Only people who have experienced working both at home and on offices can truly appreciate the unique characteristics of each. Working on offices has some benefits. If you have high salary, you will work hard and improve yourself everyday. You motivation stimulated when you get promotion. It is obvious that more merit working from home than working on offices.]]> 2017-10-28 11:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/201401984 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/201419657 Today we have learned how to avoid plagiarism. The plagiarism means the process of taking another person's work, ideas, or words, and using them as if they were your own. Someone who does this is called a plagiarist. In every time, the result of plagiarism are much more serious than the consequences of submitting in a paper late.  

And then we have learned five ways of how to avoid plagiarism. The first way is you understand the meaning of the original source. The second way is using synonyms. The third way is change word form. The fourth is change the sentences structure. The fifth way  is references and the last one way is check. 

Most situations of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere from $100 to $50,000--and up to one year in jail in the USA.
So we should avoid to plagiarism. It is bad for you.]]> 2017-10-28 15:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/201419657 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/zdcn0b7wxiji/wish/202062168 1. Pay equity can be a key driver of
