Learning Journal 6-8 : I want to apologize.

To me and to all my classmates, it has been a hard time last three weeks. We were made to do a real product design which includes 20-30 pages of sketch and detail drawing to show our ideas clearly, a model which have to be looked just the same as our detail drawing, and an A1 poster to show your model which were made by computer and your ideas about why you design it. Anyway, I have to apologize that I didn't do other English learning assept our first assignment. Even my studio classroom were poorly be put at my bed and haven't been read since I started to do the product design. But I think I would not be so busy and tired this week, so I wish I can pay more attention to my English learning from now on, especially to listen to studio classroom more often. That's my study plan in English this week.

Learning Journal 5 : Practise English while I work.

I've been work in a breakfast store for almost 2 months. There always have some foreignors come to buy their breakfast. Therefore, I have the chance to talk to foreign people and parctise talking in English. But, I've never said words without " Thank you! " , '' Hello ! " , it really boring. So, this week I'm going to change the situation. I wish I could say " Thanks for coming! " while I take their meal to them. Just wait and see this week !!

Learn Journal 2 : Previewing the lesson.

Dear teacher: I'm sorry to post my learn journal so late. But last night when I want to post an article, I can't sign in my blog. I don't know why! So I have to post it this morning. Sorry! I still remember that day when I went to buy the textbook myself, it was a sunny day. I've brought 3 hundred dollers, and I thought it would be enough. But I was wrong! .... The textbook is so expensive, I have to work 4 and half hours to buy it. Since its price is very high, I decided to make the most of it. Therefore, I previewed the lesson before the class last week. Then, I found that the preview work did work! I can understand every word in the book. That is reay nice, though the reason that I being so active on the textbook is not really a great one, but it's good enough for me to improve my learning. I think previewing the lesson before the class is very useful to learn faster, and I wish I can make it a rule to do it!

It's been a long time since the last time I wrote an article in English, hence, I'm so excited about the class. what's more, when I knew that we're going to set our own blog to hand in our homeworks, I felt very interested, for I have been made it a rule to write almost every day and post it in my chinese blog. Thus, I really like the way we work, and I'm curious about what did other classmates write. So, I think it's a nice start, and I wish could truely improve my writing skills, for I may need those skills in the future, and I must be proud of my self if I really did!
