Reflection

I think that maybe professor can grade our performance based on the interaction between the key pal and us and the progress which us make.
I give myself point 7. I think that I did not do everything perfect, but I make great progress on the assignments. Through many weeks’ efforts with my key pal, I learned many skills from her, such as the importance of the coherence, and grammar errors. And my key pal also said that I really performed better and better through the past few weeks. Therefore, I think I can earn point 7.
I give my key pal point 10. She is really nice and intelligent. She always gives me some useful suggestion like the coherence, grammar, and the same words which can substitute to the common ones. When I forget to do the assignments or do the assignment later for the deadline, she will remind me thoughtfully. So, I think she deserved the point.

Week 11

Question 1
I like the time when teacher let us discuss the issues or problems on the class or share the opinions with my classmates. In my point of view, this is an important time for students to learn again what they learned before and student can avoid not to be so subjective through discuss to their classmates. In addition, it could be a best way for students’ interaction. Everyone can know others’ thoughts and they will gain many aspects based on one issue. If one just sticks to his or her thoughts and reject to accept another’s, they will be completely subjective, and do not know how to communicate with others. So, I think discuss on the class is significant and necessary for every class activity.
Look the opposite, I do not like the class which just only read the book and do not have some interesting activities. On one hand, students will feel bored and lost their interest on the class. On the other hand, students will learn little from the class for the teacher arranges the content and do not extend the extra knowledge. In conclusion, it will limit students chance to accept new aspect for the issues or the problems.
Question 2
The fun activity I experienced recently is show and tell. This is an activity which let every student to introduce something interesting or funny happened in their lives. Students need to step to the stage, use the power point, and introduce their topic in English. It quite funny to some extent and it always brings the audience burst into laughter for they will try their best to get the highest score on the show.
Question 3
I always seek for my friends or teachers’ help when I encounter the difficult knowledge. Like the point I mentioned above, it is very important for us to discuss the problems we face on the class. In addition, I will use the Internet to find the information about the knowledge as well.
Question 4
Based on the question 1, 2, 3, I think I am the type of open learning. I like to discuss to classmates on the class, and share my opinions on the issues. In addition, I love to know others’ opinions as well. It can not only expand my horizon but also teach me how to accept the voice which is different from yours. So, being an opening learner will gain more opportunity to know the knowledge when you are on the class.

self evaluation and peer review

I graded myself score 7.
I think my paragraphs through these two months are getting better and better; however, I always make the same mistake my key pal often reminds me, such as some grammar error, and coherence. Therefore, I think I cannot get the higher than eight score for I still make some errors. When it comes to my content, after I looked through others’ paragraph through these two weeks, I think there are still some demerits laid in my paragraph, like I always talked so many things but they completely not related to the topic. Look to the opposite, someone’s paragraphs will be brief but stick to the topic from the beginning to the end. As my point of view, I think the coherence is the most important of all the elements which a good paragraph need to equip with. So, I think the improvement which I will make for the remaining semester will be the coherence and the content. I will make a good coherence and the content, use the different words to describe the same things and try to make my paragraph rich in different aspects and not to be superficial.
And this is the opinion of my key pal
As to the grade, well, I will grade us 8.
I browsed some other students' blogs and found that they exchange mostly their ideas about the topic, not discuss the writing techniques. So my comments seem quite different from theirs.
By now, I think you have made great progress in writing skills.
So, for the rest tasks, I think I will share more opinions about the topic with you.
