A.

    After a lot of big troubles, Chandler and Monica engaged. At first, Chandler pretended not want to marry Monica, but after Monica's ex-boyfriend suddenly proposed to Monica, Chandler were really regretful for hiding the truth. Chandler ran into Monica's ex-boyfriend's house, negotiating with him. That man was Chandler's, too. So after a long and struggling "making up mind," the man finally give up marrying Monica. That man is really a "good man."

B.

    My favorite character is Monica, because she is a very circumspect woman, I love that.

I don't like Ross, he is too weak, and he looks debilitating.

C.

    I think movies that are very touching, and easy to be handled, are more useful as a tool to increase our listening comprehension. The examples are "Matchstick Man," "A Beautiful Mind," "Message in a Bottle."

1.Which ones of these methods are you already using? How do they work out for you? How's your experience compare with what Ruggiero (the author of the book) has to recommend?

PLAN MY DAYS

I am already using this method for the last 2 months, and they work fantastically on me. If I write down what should I do before I sleep, usually 2 to 3 things, than I can finish them faster the next day. I also find that when I use this method, I should not write too many things, such as 14, or even 24 things on each list I write.

And for "how's your experience compare with what Ruggiero has to recommend?", most of my experience is same as hers. Basically, I don't write what need not to be done, such as play games, but I DO write down dates and activities that I have to participate in. Second, I merely write down words that are simple enough to be a NOTE, if I don't do so, I'll loss my focus on important things.



VIEW FRUSTRATIONS AS OPPORTUNITIES

Strictly speaking, I didn't do this very well. When things goes wrong, frustrating is my first reaction, but soon, usually after one deep sleep, I could over come my frustration; feeling much better and having more energy to defeat that bad emotion.

TAKE CHAREGE OF YOUR MIND

Ordinarily, I can focus my attention on only one thing when I need to. But in one situation, I will wonder, that is, if I don't even clearly know or don't want to know what should I do, often when I face great pressure, I'll loss my control of my mind.

Maybe it's time for me to use methods to prevent and rescue myself from that situation, I noted that when I have a plan, I can concentrate on what I should do.


LISTEN ACTIVELY

For this, I want to talk in two ways. First, I definitely agree that we have to keep writing in order to focus our mind. And I do do that nowadays. However, I really, really HATE to write any thing when I focus on something, especially when I am watching movies, because that will lead me to out of focus and patience.


REFUSE TO TOLERATE CONFUSION

Sometimes I DO think I should raise my hand and ask for clarification. But because most of my classmates didn't do that, sometimes I think "If I raise my hand, the pace of the class will be interrupted by me...". Teacher really should let students feel free to ask their questions.(Because they are the person who are most likely to do this.)


STUDY EFFICIENTLY

I think in time, place, and conditions, the most important one is conditions. When I study, I don't listen to music, and I don't let my computer open, because I believe in learning, quiet beats noisy every time.


READ FOR UNDERSTANDING

After I read this, I change my ways to study, because these methods are really important for a effective learner. Especially point 1 and 2, SKIM the chapter or article, REFLECT on what you found by skimming. Because these methods can deepen and reinforce my memory..

Which ones looks interesting and promising enough that you are going to try out? What's your plan?


TACKLE UNPLEASANT TASKS IMMEDIATELY

This is what I need the most, I think. Maybe I can write down the most unpleasant tasks on my working list. (Mention above.)

CHIP AWAY AT BIG JOBS

I didn't do that before, but I think I'll try it someday. Because it can operate with other methods in coordination, such as point 1 or 2.

CAPTURE INSIGHT

I tried to use this method before, take a notebook in my pocket. But that's too inconvenience to be keep. So now I just take a pen with me, only when there is a paper will I write down a note.


MY QUESTION

I really think we should not write too much when we watch Friends or Movies, if our purpose is to prevent forgetting things, maybe we should study this movie first, and then we watch it without too many writing, but with what we study before. That's my opinion, is there anything I can improve? Please reply, teacher.

Thank teacher, thank God. I post my first work now.

Yesterday,I supposed to read one or two chapter and post my reading journal on blog.

However, I at the end finish almost half of my book. Without journal,sadly.

Whatever,the book I chose is Oliver Twist, and here are some detail information:

Name: Oliver Twist ( of course I talk about the novel's name)

Author: Charles John Huffam Dickens( who also write famous A Christmas Carol)

Before I introduce what this novel talks about, I should first introduce an orphan named Oliver Twist, this name isn't his original one,

though. No one knows his original name because his mom died no sooner than Oliver's birth.

Oliver is not only an orphan or pauper, he is a pale, thin boy who never felt warm from other people.

And all this novel talks about is Oliver Twist's life.

I did not finish it yet, so that's it for today.
