Last Journal!!!

Dear friends,
First, I want to say this is a sad topic for me, because we should say goodbye and leave. However, we do not write Journal 17, 18, 19... it will be completed in this month. Next I want to say I did more writing than last 2 semesters, Sean give us a lot of freewriting and essays. I almost finished all of the homework though I dislike to do homework. Therefore, I improve my writing skill in the composition class. Then I want to tell my friends, every classmate, and I am so happy and lucky to know you! I hope you guys have very good future, and everyone can go to the university to study. I know it will be harder and harder but never give up. In the end, to be No.1 everyone, and I miss you forever.

Journal 16

In fact, this is my first time to watch the cultural dances celebrating life &death. In my opinion, it is very natural and interesting. The dance steps are simple, and they always repeat one action. When they dance, they always sing something. I can not understand but I guess that maybe they bless something to themselves. I think it is a body language to send information. When I watched this part, I was so confused what are they doing. I had a lot of questiones about that. And I also did not know why everyone draws picture in their faces. What are the pictures means? actually, I did not pay attention that there are female in the dance, just male. Why? In this movie there are many information I do not know. I might do some research about the movie.

Journal 15

Dear father,

I know all you ask me to practice is good for me. The painting and piano can cultivate my character, while swimming can build my body. However, in my opinion, all studies should build on the foundation of interest. Despite it does benefit for me, I still can not put myself in it. It is well known that the interest is the best teacher. If I like this subject, there is no difficulty can stop me. But, if I don't like it, I can not master it with thousands of times practices.

Sincerely yours,

Fiona

In this article, the author want to discuss the state of education in the United States and what should be done to improve public schools. (par. 8) The claim is that there need to be entity to manage relative department and sections persue interest for students. (par.6) There are some reasons in the article from paragraph 5, therefore, I think it is Logos. The author refers Rhee and Peterson as well as the data in California. (par.7, 8) So it has the strong evidence. Actually, I agree with the author's opinion, they should need a organization to balance and unify all departments and sections.

This article mentions the research on Internet ads and other traditional ads evalutions. It shows some statistics in a table about their survey. It is found that both Internet ads and traditional ads keep based on something. It is very usful for me because I want to compare and contrast new ads and traditional ads in my research paper. I think the survey is very important in my paper.
