Various Fallacies

In the last class, we learned about various Fallacies. I learned this of Japanese when I was in high school and I felt that it is difficult. Then, I learned this by English in the college. I couldn't understand about Red herring at first. However, step by step, I understand these thanks to my friends and teacher's explanation. Blogs written by my friends also help me to understand definition of Fallacies.

Find key point!

In the last class of ARW, I learned about syllogism and fallacies. It is difficult but this way of thinking is very important and useful for my essay. When I wrote and read long paragraph, sometimes I misunderstand the main idea. So to find key point and connect them help me to understand more clearly.

66%: How much could I learn?

I was surprised that 66% of contents of the class are already done. It is very fast that to the time have passes. There is no time only to think that I have to do... I have to do....
How much could I learn from 66% of the class? From now on, how much can I learn from the left class?
I thanks that there are many people who teach me around me, teacher, friends and "Grammarly". However, only the things what I "DO" can improve my English skill.

Before I take this class, I had never written or read blog but I'm going to continue this blog after this class end.

I love reading novel so I'm looking forward to reading " Old Man and Sea."

How to start writing

Through LBH and videos, I learned about how to write outline and draft. It is first step to write five paragraph. It is a draft so I don't have to write complete writing and it is OK to use "?" if I don't have enough information to write.   

When I write something, I tend to think about the thing only in my mind. So I have to write down the process of my thought. 

Also, When I write, I often go to library to concentrate writing because there is not noise.  However, sometimes speaking someone about the content is important, too. 

A lot of way to learn

In the last ARW class, I read and evaluate a paragraph of CWT written by some 3H student. It is difficult to evaluate another student's paragraph but I could learn a lot from it. I feel that level of some student's vocabulary and grammar is very high. To me, there are many sentences that I can understand but maybe I can't write by myself without dictionary.
Also, in the class, I learned how to use "Evernote" and "Grammerly". Before entering ICU, I hardly use PC to check my writing. So I'm surprised that how useful is this!  First, I wonder that it is good or not that being checked grammar by PC. But it was good! I can learn not only point I missed but also the reason it is incorrect. "Grammerly "find many mistake on my writing so I want to reduce the number of it in the future.
Now, It is hard to handle these, to me. However I believe that these many way to learn improve me and help me!

What I learned and tutorial

At the last ARW class, I learned that how to write comment for the article. I don't need to decide agree or disagree for the article. It is OK to add something to the article. Also, when write comment, I have to divide my opinion and author's opinion. When paraphrase the word  form article, I have to show the citation of it.

From the video of tutorial, I feel that it is important to write down information about the topic. I 'm going to write about New Zealand culture, Maori, so I have to get more information to write outline for the next tutorial.

Erase the racism

"We are all monkeys "  I couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first. I didn't know why all parson have banana?  Then when I saw this video twice , I really understood the meaning of this. Simply, I thought that "we are all monkey "means that we are all same human. Also, there should be difference between us because we never have same background. If we try to know more and more about other's background, we may be not to care about theirs skin and nationality.

Power of ICU: I want to go power spot

Before I die, I have a lot of things that I want to do. One of that is to go to power spots in the world and feel the power. In the past, my friends told me that she can get power when she touch the big tree of ICU. I was very surprised to hear that. I couldn't feel that power when I did same way. However, there may be many power spot in the world. I think that there are different power spots in each country. Before I die, I want to see many great nature not through the TV, but by my own eyes! Then I want to feel the power which I can't feel in this place I live now.

Imagine through the Enter-net

Do you know the word " Netiquette"? It is a word made by adding "net" to "etiquette". When write and tell something by using Enter-net, it is important to think how to tell that. Basically, it is same as a real world manners. However, people should be careful in the Enter-net especially. People have to remember that in the Enter-net, the things people wrote are left. Also, the writer can't  know who is looking at the writhing. That are different between real and the Enter- net. I think the key word is "imagine" to use Enter- net comfortable for both reader and writer. In the real world people may can feel because they can hear the voice and look faces each other. But in the Enter- net, people can't do that so there is a word "netiquette". I can't list up the things people have to do and don't have to. It is difficult to imagine perfectly. So it is important to have knowledge and imagine...
Imagine the place
Imagine the time
Imagine the situation
Imagine....
......

Finally, I imagine people's face who looking at this blog, people who are in somewhere I don't know. I don't know but I imagine you.
