Q5孫滐

A
This episode is talking about Chandler's big plan. He wanted to prpose to Monica. However, things were noy going well. At the first chance, he bumped into Monica's ex-boyfriends,Rechard, and the great chance was destroyed. Then, he tried to make another surprise.
He want to make a impression on Monica that he do not want to get married, then propose again. However, Richard told Monica that he still love her, and wanted to get married with her. Worse of it, Monica was disappointed to Chandler's word, and she even thought of Richard's proposal. Thanks to Joey an thier love, Chandler finally proposed to Monica sucessfully at the time he thought he nearly lose her. What a big surprise.
B
I like Phoebe most. She's really funny. She always say something and do something crazy. She is the chracter that always make me laugh.
If there is one character that I like least, it is Ross. I don't like the way he date with Elizabeth. I think he even doesn't wehther he like her or not. It's not the way that a mature person thinking about love.
C
I think "friends" use the words that American would use. Moreover, he speak it at the normal speech. Watch "Friends" just like listen to the simple American speak English. It is it's advantage.

A.

Chandler wanted to ask Monica to marry him.  On the same day, Ross was going to date with Elizabeth and the others were going to a charitable auction.  In the auction, Joey won a boat, but he didn't have enough money. On the other hand, Ross found he and Elizabeth had a dead-relationship, so he broke up with her.  Chandler's plan was destroyed because he and Monica met Richard in the restaurant.  In order to give Monica a big surprise, Chandler changed his plan.  He pretended that he would not get married.  After knowing that, Monica was sad or even angry.  Richard said he still and wanted to marry her, but Monica didn't give him an answer.  After knowing that something was wrong, Chandler run to Richard house to find Monica, but she was not there.  Richard gave his wish to Chandler.  This time, Monica planed to propose. Finally, they got engaged.

 

B.

Ross. His expression and his reaction always make me laugh out loud. I always remember the scene he hide under the couch and the plot he imitated Paul's movement.

In fact, I like all the six character. If it is definitely to name one, I will choose Phoebe. It's not because I don't like her characteristic but because she is the person I didn't know very well.  In my memory, she seldom be the main character in the episode that we had seen.

 

C.

I think watching movies is a good way to learn English.  We can both have visual and audio impulses.  Under the double inputs, we can learn English more efficiently.  And we can also learn some useful words in our daily life.

This story is about Oliver Twist. Oliver is 9 years old when he first appear in this story, and after nearly 6 years, Oliver finally grows into a mature boy.

What happened in this 6 years? First, Oliver was send to a factory, working with other boy and suffering from starvation. Oliver may ended his life there, nevertheless, he said to his manager "I want more." while he is too hungry to work anymore. And thus he was then sold to a family maltreating him, and after several months, he ran out of there because he get his master a fightback.

So he let Nancy catch back Oliver, Nancy doesn't want Oliver to be a thief again, so soon after she catch Oliver back, she push Oliver back to the normal world. Hence she was killed by Sikes, Fagin's friend, also Nancy's husband.

After all, Oliver become the son in law of Mr. Brownlow, a kind gentleman. Sikes kill Fagin and himself.

Oliver often go to the white stone with one word written upon it: "Agnes." The name of Oliver's mom.

Dickens' novels always have a good ending.I love to read Dickens' novels, because the ending is always peaceful, there is nothing to worry about, but thinking is the result. 會計一49777108朱士軒

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.
