這門課對我的啟發

我覺得能這樣時常逼自己寫英文作文是一件不可能的是，至少對我來說是如此，但既然我選了這門課就要好好督促自己去寫，雖然從一開始一篇要熬個五六個小時才能打好(不誇張確實如此，問我室友他們可證實)，到現在的三四小時，這其中的進步幾乎可說微乎其微，時間縮短不多但是我的用字遣詞比起以前那怎麼用都是那幾種句型好很多了！
說真的本來還蠻想退選的~~~~~~呵呵~~因為一開始我就覺得自己根本不可能全身而退，每個禮拜幾乎都要寫兩篇，這數量對我來說幾乎是天文數字，另外一個因素是我們系上的課程都很耗時間，忙起來都忘了去寫作文，還好老師是期末一起收我才有時間把剩下不足的補完，在加上上課也沒有太大的壓力，因此對於這堂課基本上我還蠻喜歡的。
就如老師您說的do your best我真的do my best一次趕了十多篇而且全部都很認真打~以時間換算我幾乎沒啥睡就是~怪怪的地方也請教過其他英文程度較好的同學，我真的想說~~~

天ㄚ！！！！！！！！！！！！！！~~~~~~~我真的把這堂課給修完了！

基度山恩仇記(心得)~~~~課外學習

We are always jealous easily of lucky men. However, it is not good to scheme to trick people. We should do ourselves best instead of depending on luck. In the story, the main actor, Dantes, was betrayed and arrested. I think that it was unfair for Dantes. If I am he, I will also want to take revenge. This story makes me think the other one, Hamlet. It is a story about revenge context. The different is that Hamlet was died in the end, but Dantes was not. In my views, I think Dantes is a kind man. He took revenge but he did not kill anyone. He just let those people who tricked him get their retribution. I think that it is the people would be treated because it is they started to do bad things to Dantes. Someone would think Dantes is too virulent, but I don’t think so. Human suffering is mostly made by man himself. They do bad thing and they would get comeuppance. The context of this book is really excited. The Conte of Monte Cristo is a adventurous story and I really love it.

基度山恩仇記(大意)~~~課外學習

The main actor was a young sailor, Edmond Dantes. He was nineteen years old when he became a captain of the Pharaon. Because of this, Danglars, a supercargo, was jealous of Dantes. Dantes also had a beautiful fiancée, Mercedes. But Mercedes’ s cousin, Fernand Mondego, had asked her many times to marry him. When he heard that Dantes and Mercedes will marry, he was wild with jealousy. Danglars and Fernand scheme to get Dantes sent to prison. Dantes’ s betrothal feast is broken and he is arrested. He is imprisoned without a trial. He had been a prisoner for exactly fourteen years. In those time, he met a fellow prisoner, the Abbe Faria, told him the secret of a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. He escaped from the fortress when Abbe died and he found the treasure. He became rich and decided to take revenge on those people who tricked him. He went back home and found his fiancée was married Fernand. His father was died from hunger. He became angry and started to revenge. In the end, he did what he wanted and those people who tricked him got their retribution.

Learning journal PART11

Today we learned The Parts of an Essay. In this part I don't think everyone in the textbook is right. Like this "A thesis statment is more interesting when it expresses an opinion, not a fact, because facts cannot be argued", I know what is it mean, but the example that it give dosen't very well. And everyone has difference defined on complete sentence. That have to see a person's knowledge and experience. So I think the explain in this part is not complete.

Learning journal PART10

Teacher said the compared articles like Two Teachers was very sample in English composition examination. In Two Teachers that is easy to find the difference between Egyptian and Ali. I think this article could success by it tell us the difference at the first part. So you can tell clearly who is good and who is bad. That will be easy to understand all article.

Learning journal PART9

Today we didn't teach anything. We commented other student's articles. But I didn't know how to comment others at first. Because I thinked there were more fault in my article than others. And the other of my friends are good than me. So I just commented about their content.

Learning journal PART8

今天上課撥了一支關於在校學習和自學的影片，在影片中那些自學的學生看起來似乎跟平常人沒什麼兩樣，因為在台灣自學的人幾乎都是某方面有些障礙才有必要這樣，自學難道真的不好嗎?在看過大家後來對於自學的優缺比較之下，絕大部分的人還是贊同在校學習，雖然我本身也是比較偏向在校學習，但是當學校的科目不是自己非常有興趣的時候，就會覺得說自學其實也沒有想像中的那麼壞，因為它可以讓學習比較沒有那麼大的壓力，誰說一定要學國、英、數才能在正常的環境中生存，說不定什麼都不學的時候反而能增強某些方面的能力，例如「創意」，雖然學習可以提升人的經驗，但是經驗卻也成了人的一種束縛，因為經驗讓人產生了「應該」的這種邏輯，這也是絕大部分的人贊同在校學習的原因吧！

Learning journal PART7

This time learned about cohesion. There are four important things in the cohesion. Frist talk about key words in senteces. I don't really understand the this part. It mean some kind of words can make sentences more smooth from in my viewpoint. Unlike others the key words are not easy to find in my articles. And the second question of my articles is transitional words. I almost not use it in my articles. After I viewed the articles of other students then I found somebody used it very well. I think it could tell a person's level in English.

Human Cloning(free writing)

Human cloning has been a controversial issue for many years. Some scientists have researched human cloning and have hoped to help people. However, there is an immoral comportment to clone human beings for any reason. I am opposed to proceeding to clone beings for three reasons. First, everyone is an unique individual. If one person is cloned, how we can distinguish the clone and the real one. Second, some human cloning are used for medical purposes, such as, organs for transplants, because organs can’t be cloned alone. Human cloning is alive even if he or she is cloned. He or she also has human rights. Third, human cloning technology is not well versed. Japanese studies have shown that cloned mice live in poor health and die quickly, only about one or two viable offspring for every one hundred experiments. In addition, scientists don’t know how clone affect mental development. Maybe intellect and mood are not important for a sheep or a mouse, but they are crucial for people. With these reasons, I think that human cloning should not be allowed.

Learning journal PART6

Today we learn about coherence and cohesion. We arranged the article on textbook page 17 and I felt I could not do that in time. When I finished the article, that was one pages late of the class progress. I was the guy read books slowly and even the arrangement was wrong when I finished. The second part about the cohesion I did not understand very well because I even not listened it on the class. So I felt today's lesson gave me a very bad experience.

Learning journal PART5

We talked about the support today. I had no idea what did that mean when first time I saw the support in text book. It was not enough to understand it by the text book for me. After class, I found two articles in advance and circled the support. I thought that was a good way to make the topic sentence came true. And it was easy to circle the support in other articles but not mine. So if I do more practice in writing, I think I could more realize the support better.

Learning journal PART4

Just like the last learning journal, I try the way on Advance, News and many other articles. I find it is esay to know a article by the topic sentences, but not the News. In News has a lot of words that I don't know, so that is difficult for me to understand. I always read the articles more than twice to know what it mean. I think the topic sentces is easy to find a article meaning but
the words are also the important thing to read a article easily.

Learning journal PART3

I am very afraid of the reading tests. Instead of the difficulty, I afraid of the time limit indeed. I can't read a very simple articles when it has time limit. After the tests, I always spend half of time to realize the articals. But when I knew how to find the topic sentences then time will not the promble of me. I can realize a article very quickly even not read all the articles.

Learning journal PART2

I don't know the articles I wrote are right or wrong, so I hope teacher can help me on this. The more articles I write the more prombles I have. I don't want the problems keep going, so I hope teacher can correct my articles every times.
I had read the "Advanced" for 2 months, but I can't see the advance in my English. And I read the English's news paper recently, I found a lot of articles I couldn't understand even the words I knew. The last question I have is that News paper and Advanced which is batter for me?
After teacher told us about the learning journal once again, I knew I was wrong at the last one. But I don't want to correct it, because of it will let me fell like do homework.
