A paragraph about plagiarism

Plagiarism is an action of copy others ideas without any acknowledgement of source. According to the Longman Dictionary of contemporary English(1995), define that use others ideas and words as your own ideas when you write the essay is plagiarism. The oxford(1992) presented the plagiarism as---"a kidnapper or literary thief ". However, the book Academic Writing(1989) conclude that the national students have different academic background, so they will not realize they have copy the ideas from books, articles and newspapers should be show the sourced. So they are always intentionally to plagiarism.

what is Globalisation

According to the controversial argument, globalisation was the bone of contention in the past 10 years, as a result, a large amount of books investigate the globalisation as the subject and the reason of major demonstrations in Europe and North America. Some people are against the globalisation, which  caused mangy problems and disrupted their lives also returned few benfits. Others think that can reduce the poverty, particularly in China, Vietnam, India and Uganda. However, it is amazing that the globalisation was used widely but it doesn't to defined accurate. In fact the breadth of the meaning and take on cultural, political and other connotations in addition to the econmic, so it become narrowing over time. All the same, the general or main sense of economic globalisation, is to emphasis on the observation which conduce to develop the economic quickly these years, then make people live in different countries. This growth in cross-border economic activities takes various forms:

The ways of seeing

In our pre-language class, we watched a documentary which "the ways of seeing". It shows the different between the oil painting and publicity. It is similar but not the same.

Firstly, the author introduce the ADS are surrounding our life. It is why we want to alter the way of our life, then become a glamour girl or boy. People spend a lot of money to buy something, then from richer to poorer, and change their face, body which result in enviable. And then he concluded that without the society, glamour can not be exist.

Secondly, he illustrated that the oil painting described the fact of the life, such as sense, value and so on. The sources from the pose, gesture, sign of love. But compared to the ADS, it shows a dream for the people. The publicity purpose is make each of people to consume, to meet our desire, eager to our life.

Thirdly, he give us a question, why the glamour did not exist in the middle century. Because of the background of the society. We can easily to find how important about the society status in the history. So people can't have the dream, their life can change with their desire.

I think the documentary is value to investigate the arts and life, which explains many reason about the arts in now days. He also to compare the different aspect of the art to analyze the valuable. 

At all, it is a good lesson for us to think about the Art and life. Then give us a new angle to see the world.

Structure and Cohesion

    I had borrowed a book from the library some days ago. However, last week we were busy in preparing the Dragon Dan Marketing Plan, therefore I didn't begin to read it.

    

    Today, after the face to face talk with the teacher, I aware that I have mangy problem about the language learning, such as speaking, writing, pronunciation and so on. In order to keep up with other students, thus I will be make more effort at learning English.

    I begin to read the book is called Academic Writing Course. The unit 1 is structure and cohesion, which  concerned with he general organization of a piece of academic writing, its structure and particularly the way in which the different parts are linked together. And we also write an essay, which organized in a similar way - introduction, development of main ideas or arguments, conclusions. But how to link the sentence by means of connective?

BASIC WORD:

AND --- so, therefore, as a result, accordingly, consequently, thus, hence

OR --- in other words, to put it more simply, it would be better to say

BUT --- however, nevertheless, nonetheless, yet, in spite of that, all the same

For example:

1. He passed his examinations.

    Therefore/So/As a result/Accordingly/Consequently/Thus/Hence he had some good news to tell his parents.

Then when we write the academic essays, we can use to express the meaning of AND, OR, BUT, which can link the sentences in the content.

 

A Survey of General Personal Views

    On 21th July 2009, an instant survey was carried out among 5 students in Mark's pre-sessional 09 class 8, which the group including kathy, miao, Oat, shadow and yun.

    From the table of data, the most popular color was blue, selected by 40%, followed by black, purple, yellow each chosen by 20%. Nobody chose grey, brown, red and so on. 20% of the people said had none luck number, 7 was chosen by 40%, 6 and 8 was  selected by 20% each.

While  7% indicated attractive, intelligent, ambitions, loving and kind. The ideal number of children was 2 chosen by 60%, while 40% indicated none children they want to have.

    If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as follows, about half of the people presumably like blue. The most lucky numbers, in order was 6 and 8. Probably, most of their may be married at the ideal age of 26-30 with honest parter and may be have 2 children.

send a letter to you

On the morning, I received an Emil from my best friend.

" I will tell you a bad information which I heard this morning！

Our friend----Alex Li, pass away.

It happened in a traffic accident on her way to go on travelling,now I don't know the detail.

I didn't know how to express myself when I knew the news.So in the class, I try my best to join the discussion, because we have the chance to study, how lucky we are.

send a letter to you want to know how are you?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

                     The future like the light which should we hard work to achieve!

What a depressing thing! 

I go to the ODEOM cinema to see the film which called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. Then after the movie finished, I find I can not understand. When we are ready to go to the movie, we think it should to have English subtitles, or through body language may be able to understand about the mainly story. However, probably what the story told we did not understand, also only understand the point of laugh through the film.

I think when we have the ability to go to the movie and understand the story, we succeed in learning English!

which town I want to live

On the weekend, I go to the EGHAM with VERA. And the slow pace of life and the kind of person which made me look forward to living there.

I google in the website, it is said that EGHAM is a small town in the Runnymede borough of Surrey, in the south-east of England And it is part of the London commuter belt.

When we got off train and then saw a wide green lawn next the train station which a lot of cute kids playing together. When we walked in a small way and saw the people around a dinner by the roadside restaurants which full of fun atmosphere. When we saw the market which to change the old things in a church only on the weekend and the things are also amusing. 

What a lovely small town!

clean-clean

I have been in London more than half a month and I got used to life here. 

For the class, I become to understand what the teacher said and begin to talk with the students in group occasionally. 
I think the poor English as one result that I can't speak in the classroom. And the second reason is that my character is too shy, so I can't participate in class discussion actively. In most cases are listen to panel members said the views what they think about. 

Last week we had a presentation about the new project into the market. And I want to break through that I can not be open the mouth  and lack of the status of self-confidence, so finally I cooperated with other partners in the group to introduce the product. In the process of doing this presentation, I got a lot of help and encourage from FEN. When we discuss the positioning of the market, the USP of product, established the brand, as well as the ability of a competitive market, she also encouraged me to say my opinion. Then the final product was made out, we are all still very satisfactory. Although we did not get the support of many people, but after this exercise, I believe I have become confident and I will continue to urge me to join their discussion. 

Then to make learn English more easily.

And the last but not the least, I want to say:THANK YOU!

changeable weather

    In no country other Britain, it had been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day. It is sure. I was surely get accustomed to the changeable weather here. 

    What a changeable weather!

What is Memory

    What exactly is "memory"?

    

    Memory is the accumulation of impressions of the people and things that you meet. In other words, these impressions must be your own experiences. But some places which you have never been give you a sense of familiar feeling. How do you explain it? Why does London always make me feel so familiar. Maybe "old soul" really exists. And it has been living in my mind. These senses of similar could be a part of the memory from my part life. But I am not sure anymore whether I'm love with this place because of my dream? Or is it fate that bring me here?

    I saw a film just now. It combines with 4 stories to tell us when we met love, we should control the chance. And I most like the first story. It saying a couple when the male cover a severity sick, he want to find a voice which the same as him. Then when he was dead, he want the same voice replace himself  to call his girl friend every year.

    On the 1st year------ I know that you have to cry, But don't forget to eat to maintain the energy to keep crying.

    On the 2nd year------I am practicing baseball down here. Hope I will be bette than Babe Ruth in my next life.

   

    On the 3ed year------I am still wearing the sweater, But the two sleeves are not even,  you should practice more.

    On the 4th year------The person who can eat more than 20 eggs at one time must be deeply in love with you.

    On the 5th year------There is no Jedi Knight on earth. But he who's willing to fight with you with Lightsaber all night long. If you can met one, you will definitely met another one.

    On the 6th year------It is dark in the elevator, but somebody's going to open the door.

    On the 7th year------I will going back to the world. These things happen. I was gone, but we'll meet again. Thank for you missing me. But don't ignore the whole world because  you miss me too much.

WHAT IS DISTANCE

    On the weekend, I went to visit the RCA exhibition of graduate design with my friends. Although  many works I can't understand, at lest see the gap between my country's design.

    I also have been unable to understand some people have said that to broaden your horizons. But now I finally understand that the world's great original and creative are valuable.

    Last week we had a classroom quiz, I got a bad score. But I think  it is a beginning, I will take more practice.

    I read a book, it says why in chinese we use the "far" to describe time? Then I translate it .

"Is the "far" as an adjective to describe time? Far represents as distance. But is the time have distance? We can say that from shanghai to shengzheng have 1434 kilometers which is accessible by plane or train to get there. We can say that we go to the convenience stores about 500 meters which take 11 minutes to reach there. We also can say that we are away from the examination about 10 days which we can not by car or by plane or walk to reach. Whether can we come to the future or go back to the past?  The answer is NO. Then why we use the "far" to describe  the distance? But if we don't use the "far" to describe the time, what should we to use describe the time?

    OK,THE ANSWER IS long or short!

    What a magic between the culture difference! In chinese can't search a word to describe the time, we often say distance do something have some time.

    I didn't know what I say. But I know time is left, I should make more efforts on my English learning.

    

The first day

    Jun 28th is the first day I came to the London. Because of the flight delay, I was late for one hour. And the when talk to the customs, he told me to see the doctor, I guess he figure me the lunacy. But in the fact that I haven't physical check-up. What a funny joke!  

   

     I come from China, so have time different from here about seven hours. This picture was on the first morning about 3 o'clock when I can't sleep and look out of the window, the sky has to become brightly. I think it is a beautiful morning, and I miss my parents very much. This is the first time I left my parents to another country for a long time.

    

    Now I have the language lesson in the LCC with the classmates who come from different kinds of countries. I know my English is very poor. I will put more effort into my language learning.
