Bookreview

Our textbook which we use in the composition class of this semester is Steps to Writing Well, written by Jean Wyrick. In this book, we have learned different kinds of writing styles from the beginning of writing an essay to more advanced categories, such as literature, research paper, visual arts, and film. The classification of different forms of writing is very clear for readers to understand the context. Though some concepts of the chapters might be theoretical, it also provides us with some funny pictures, which would make it more interesting and understandable to read. Next, we are going to give some brief introduction about the book.

In the book” Steps to Writing Well”, the author makes her ideas organized. All contents are divided into four parts. In part1, it mentions some basic and necessary knowledge like the frame of writing, including “The Body Paragraph” and “Beginnings and Endings.” As for part2, the author requires readers to consider the reason they want to write. Additionally, the training of finding enough information and figuring out the whole structure of the article are also needed. These requirements will support the topic or genre in your essay. Except for the abilities we have talked about in part1 and part2, there are many different and special forms of essays showed in part3. We think this part is the most interesting one. What this part talks about is not only attractive but useful. It offers us different types of writing to learn. These advanced categories which we have never learned or heard before, now it is all in this book and with examples. In the last part, the writer reminds readers of some errors which we might have in out articles.

The book is useful and its introduction which the author writes is persuasive for teachers and students. For example, if we do not have the right attitude to write as the author says, our readers would not believe the facts and concepts we want to present to them. Furthermore, there are some interpretations which lay aside from the articles to remind us how to use the skills we have learned in each chapter.

On the other hand, here are various practices and examples in this book, and these also have relations with every chapter it has talked of. In the Practicing What You’ve Learned, there are questions which request readers to pick out the mistakes and correct them. Some of them just need readers to write in the requested form which has been displayed in the previous articles. For examples, they provide us with practical usage of writing abilities. Take the 19th chapter, “Writing in the World of Work”, for instance, there are illustrations and comments (the blue words in the margien) of each type of business work. They give us clear explanation of each paragraph. Through these ways of learning, students can get more details about the main theory of each writing skills, and make connection between what we learned and life experiences.

Following each steps the book tells us, we can gradually know how to begin and compose the article. Even still not knowing how to write the content, we have already owned a general structure of an appropriate essay. Writing is not an easy thing. Of course we could not make great progress by only reading this book. In addition to studying, practicing plays more crucial role; thus, we should keep the habit of regular writing. By this way, we can know our writing problems or bad habits and correct them. Therefore, our writing skill will improve and become better and better.

Reflection of the Meeting 2

For this time’s meeting I was very late because I remember the wrong time. Except for being informed of my assignment, I did not talk too much with the teacher. Nevertheless, during the class discussion, my group members offer me some suggestions to write after I give my presentation of my research paper.

First, Candy thinks I can find some clips about the issue I am discussing about. It is more persuasive to see others talking about their own experiences and maybe I can find out some new thoughts from their conversations. I do not mention these clips which I find there are some connections with my topic. In the clips, there is one which makes me feel surprised about that. It says how men feel when they have divorcement with their wives. These men are usually not willing to share their feelings about this issue, and it is harder for them to recover from the depression of leaving his wives or children. The clip also provides some statistics about some of men will become once they are separated with their families. We often consider women to be harmed more serious than men, but the divorce has huge influences on both of them. That is what I find by Candy’s advice.

Then, Roxy hopes that I can find out the change of marriage rate and its relationship with the career women. In face, there is one report about marriage rate I add in my research paper. It is because that I want to analyze why this phenomenon will happen first, and then tell the readers that they have to be cautious when making their decision to marry someone. That is the reason why now a great number of women who have successful careers still do not get married and still think over about this issue. I think that how I arrange the paper has its relations between causes and effects. Therefore, I explain how I think about my research paper to Roxy after the class.

Maybe some students will think the articles I put in my research paper are loose, and these reports do not have straight connections with others’. However, I think each of them all has something to do with women and how they change their feelings or thoughts, and take their actions to make decisions for themselves. It is a process for them to learn something from their life or through the media. That is what I want to present in my paper. Maybe some of these things have already happen lone time age, but until now women are still changing. They are still influenced and will judge their figure or conduct by media. From these things , we can know that media does have its great impacts on women, or people.

How Does Women’s Thoughts Change by Media?(Before Chat)

How Does Women’s Thoughts Change by Media?
One of the traditions from China is that parents usually want their son or daughter to marry at very early age. This custom is passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. People regard marriage as one of the most important thing in their whole life. Besides, parents will deal with all those all those trifles for their children, including choose their mates. Then, if you refuse to accept their arrangement for you, that’s great disrespect and disobedience to the older.

As times goes by, some old costumes have faded away, but the importance of marriage has been deeply rooted in our mind. When people who are over thirty or forty years old without being married, they will start to panic and eagerly to find someone else to marry with. People act like this only to fulfill others expectation, like their parents or kinsman. However, having this kind of decision in a haste easily leads to some bad endings, or divorce.

From long time ago, our ancestors came out some thoughts about men and women’s duty, what kinds of characteristics they should have and what part they play in this big society. Those notions somehow turn out to be some kinds of stereotype. From then on, most of us think this pattern is absolutely right and judge our conduct by that. In those rules, men work outside to support the family, and women should stay at home concentrating on housework and dealing with their kids. If thinking that wives do something bad, husbands can ask them to go their original home and never come back.

Being different from ancient times, people’s lives and values have been changed a lot. Marriage is not that important and the only option for most people. Especially for women, some of them pay much attention on their work and do a very great job. Now they focus on their job and think more extensively about their future. This alteration make people rethink whether marriage is necessary for them? Within a report “Career Women Meet Marriage Problem”, it mentions some problems which happen to women who work pretty well in the company. According to the article, more and more successful women in China still remain single. Surprisingly, most of them are charming and intelligent. As the matter of fact, they hope to get married, but as their careers are more and more prosperous, their requirements for husbands are higher. Only people with good conditions do these ladies think they can get along with. That is the reason why when other girls are married, these women still stay single.

As women have more opportunities of education and work, they will tend to think more careful about the marriage and always want to find the Mr. Right to be their spouses. At least, it is clear for these girls that they have to be serious about their relationship with another guy who will possibly marry them. In some way, the attitude in this article will prevent people from getting a bad or inappropriate marriage.

Their concepts of making up a family with another person are right. Whether people want this or not can be an optional question. This issue needs to be discussed with family or friend and thought twice before taking action. Many couples decide to get marriage after having sweet and happy time dating with each other. Once they are husbands and wives, lives become not so easy. There are many habits or trifles these two persons have to discuss or compromise with each other. If they do not go well during the process of talking over, divorce can be the last measure to end up these annoying quarrels. Recently, this bad mode becomes more common way for people to terminate their domestic arguments and problems. Take America for instance, its divorce rate is higher and higher than ever before. Due to this reason, the author of “Divorce Statistics and What They Mean” points out some phenomena which divorce gives to the society. After their first marriages and families are broken, the time for applying for divorcement costs almost one year, the will make people sense how thoughtless they were and be more serious about their next marriage. However, for other family members, this is difficult for them to accept. Kids who grow up in this kind of families have higher inclination to commit suicide. Still more and more people regard this as the best and most convenient way for ending their marriage. These statistics may give us warnings to rethink before making any decisions.

Indeed, these statistics are signs to show us something happen to this world that we should notice. When families are falling apart, they often can not be repaired anymore. Marriage is not like a children’s game which you can stop playing at anytime as you want. There is something to do with whether you have respect for it. Not only the couples but also their children will probably be harmed, even though parents seldom notice about that. When these poor kids’ feelings are overlooked by their dads and moms, they will try to harm themselves or be allured by other bad temptations like mean friends or some dangerous things. Eventually, this kind of carelessness will cause great problems to the society.

The alteration of the world is beyond out imagination, so do people’s thoughts. Their considerations are influenced in many different ways, and media is the greatest and well-known source to people like radio, television and newspaper. In people’s daily lives, they can effortlessly get any new resources from anywhere. Especially for women, they have learned some new ideas that they have never thought about since long time ago. These sources make them to alter their ways to think about themselves. It is certain that every thing has its good and bad aspects. Media can let people catch the update anytime but the wrong ideas and values will also be passed by it.

There is an example that people may be given wrong impression by watching television. While women are mentioned in media, people often emphasize on their figures and outside beauties. France’s legislature worries this kind of advertisement will mislead people’s judgments and decides to put a ban against media which will have some bad influences on women. Researchers hold positive appraisal toward this decision and think that offers citizens a chance to think over. What kinds of information about women shall we get from the media? Is it possible for us to accept the wrong value by them? Although this policy does have its outcomes, there researchers still hope that women can have their own abilities to think whether resources are worth believing and changing themselves.

Media really has great power to change people. This article gives us an opportunity to let us know about how it works in the society. It is an efficient way to spread some new concepts and inform the masses about them. These things will circulate among people and become the issues they are discussing about. It is a good phenomenon that every citizen can fully express their personal points of view without interference.

Through this way, women get to know more information about their positions in the society. From many years ago, their thoughts and feelings are limited, but this situation changes through a long period of time. Now, they begin to understand that they can make choices for many things on their own. With their own ways of thinking and abilities, they can deal with their own errands instead of letting others make decisions for them.

Afterward, the research presents the problems which career women will encounter in their family and company. These women begin to find the most suitable way to live as a mother or working women.

Pamela Stone summarizes the book, Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home, and discusses some vital aspects of it. The records show that more and more women quit their job for taking care of their children and husbands. Part of the reason is also the pressure these women get from work because it is hard for working mothers to maintain the balance between working and family. In the occasion of work, they have to compete with male workers and work with high efficiency. Many of them will gradually be fatigued to face the dilemma. Thus, these women would think of giving their resignation and going back home taking care of all stuffs of the household. The book means to help them get rid of the anxiety from work and let them return to their career. This resolution changes some women’s lives as being a full-time mother and makes them have the courage and opportunity to prove their extraordinary abilities for their work.

As a matter of fact, a great number of women are tired of being a working mother. During the day, they have to concentrate on their job, and when they come home, there are more and more stuffs to do in their families such as cooking and cleaning dishes. My mother is one of these hard-working mothers. She feels tired of dealing with housework after back from her company and always hopes my brother and I can help her with these chores while we are at home. Her experience reflects all working mothers’ toil. In this condition, some women would like to stay at home and do the housework. Being a housewife can be a way to get out of their jobs and find some place to rest both mentally and physically. At that time, staying at home may be a good thing for them.

However, few women want to remain at home for the rest of their lives. They will hope for the opportunities to get back their work even it is a challenge for them. This article gives us a right direction about this issue. No matter being at home or going out to work, women should have their own opinions to make the choices. Therefore, they can know exactly what the problem is and work for it. Sometimes, things are not as difficult as people imagine if they can figure out the right way to fix it.

No thing will stay still and never change for a long time. With these reports and researches, we know that media really has huge impacts on women’s lives. Whether it is a good phenomenon depends on how use it. There are many things we can get from media every day. Nevertheless, not all sources are good for us, and people have to judge information by themselves. Then there is no deed to be afraid of being controlled by others’ comments.

How Does Women’s Thoughts Change by Media?
One traditions of China is that parents usually want their sons or daughters to marry at very early age. This custom is passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. People regard marriage as one of the most important things in their whole life. Besides, these girls and boys’ parents are willing to choose mates and prepare wedding for them. Thus, if you refuse to accept their arrangement for you, that is very disrespectful to the older

As time goes by, some old costumes have faded away, but the importance of marriage still takes its position in our mind. In order to fulfill parents’ and relatives’ expectations, singles who are over thirty or forty years old will be panic and eagerly to get married. However, making decision to marry somebody in haste is not prudent enough and easily leads to some bad consequences like divorce.

From long time ago, our ancestors came out some thoughts about men and women’s duty, what kinds of characteristics they should have and what part they play in this big society. From then on, most of us think this pattern of life is absolutely right and judge our conducts by these standards. In the rules, men work outside earning money to support the family, and women should stay at home concentrating on taking care of housework and their kids. If thinking their wives doing something bad, husbands can ask them to go back to their parents’ homes and never come back. These unreasonable notions somehow turn out to be some kinds of stereotype.

Being different from ancient times, people’s lives and values have been changed a lot. Nowadays, we have television, radio and other electronic products to transmit new information, these technologies help us to know more things which happen to the world and other people’s opinions. Even people’s impressions for marriage are different. Marriage is not that important and the only option for most people. Especially for women, some of them pay much attention on their work and do a very great job. Now they focus on their job and think more extensively about their future. This alteration make people rethink whether marriage is necessary for them?

As women have more opportunities of education and work, they will tend to think more careful about the marriage and always want to find the Mr. Right to be their spouses. Although their high standards make them remain single even most of them have already passed the proper age for marriage, it is better for them to consider this crucial thing to the future. At least, it is clear for these girls that they have to be serious about their relationship with another guy who will possibly marry them. In some way, the attitude in this article will prevent people from getting a bad or inappropriate marriage.

Their concepts of making up a family with another person are right. Whether people want this or not can be an optional question. This issue needs to be discussed with family or friend and thought twice before taking action. If your determination makes you wed somebody you do not really know, and then it will turn out to be a disaster. Many couples decide to get marriage after having sweet and happy time dating with each other. Once they are husbands and wives, lives become not so easy. There are many habits or trifles these two persons have to discuss or compromise with each other. If they do not go well during the process of talking over, divorce can be the last measure to end up these annoying quarrels. Recently, this bad mode becomes more common way for people to terminate their domestic arguments and problems, and less people would like to step into marriage. Take America for instance, its divorce rate is higher and higher than ever before. Due to this reason, the author of “Divorce Statistics and What They Mean” points out some phenomena which divorce gives to the society. After their first marriages and families are broken, the time for applying for divorcement costs almost one year, the will make people sense how thoughtless they were and be more serious about their next marriage.

Still more and more people regard this as the best and most convenient way for ending their marriage. These statistics may give us warnings to rethink before making any decisions.

For decades ago, it is unusual for couples to cease their marriage and leave each other. No matter how awful their relationship is or how bad they treat each other, husbands and wives would prefer to tolerate these things as best as they can do rather than letting families be ruined. If we do not judge whether their attitudes are right to solve problems, apparently, the view points of elders, or people who were born earlier, are unlike the new generations’.

Indeed, these statistics are signs to show us something happen to this world that we should notice. When families are falling apart, they often can not be repaired anymore. Marriage is not like a children’s game which you can stop playing at anytime as you want. There is something to do with whether you have respect for it.

Therefore, more and more people start to use television and other media as a way to advocate their new ideas about female issue. Gradually, more and more senses for people’s right and will which we have never noticed before are revealed. Besides, people are more familiar with this kind of new thoughts.

Through this way, women get to know more information about their positions in the society. From many years ago, their thoughts and feelings are limited, but this situation changes through a long period of time.

Then, if having the difficulties adapting the works or environment, they can find somebody to consult about these things like their mothers or other professional consultants. Therefore, they can know exactly what the problem is and work for it. Sometimes, things are not as difficult as people imagine if they can figure out the right way to fix it.

Roxy 說 (下午 09:08):
My favorite chapter may be”writing in the world of work”

Wendy 說 (下午 09:09):
maybe lots of people think that is boring
Wendy 說 (下午 09:09):
but it is useful
Vivi 說 (下午 09:10):

Wendy 說 (下午 09:10):
if you want to find a job or apply for graduat school
Roxy 說 (下午 09:10):
It 's a practical chapter to us
Wendy 說 (下午 09:10):

and all of us may probably have the chance to apply for graduate schools
Roxy 說 (下午 09:13):
once it comes, we can use these writing skills immediately
Vivi 說 (下午 09:14):
OK
Vivi 說 (下午 09:15):
and then we should talk about what the common merit in all article
Wendy 說 (下午 09:16):
common merit
Wendy 說 (下午 09:16):

candy 說 (下午 09:16):
i think maybe we can add some common points
Vivi 說 (下午 09:16):
yes
Vivi 說 (下午 09:16):
that is what I mean
candy 說 (下午 09:16):
ok
candy 說 (下午 09:16):
it's dine
candy 說 (下午 09:17):
fine*
candy 說 (下午 09:17):
first of all , we have to know who are the readers
Vivi 說 (下午 09:17):
I think the author tend to pick some good article to teenagers just like us !! Haha
Roxy 說 (下午 09:18):
because all of there aeticles are good examples to us
Roxy 說 (下午 09:18):
these
candy 說 (下午 09:19):
and then make outlines of it
candy 說 (下午 09:19):
to draft
candy 說 (下午 09:19):
brainstorming
Vivi 說 (下午 09:19):
I do not understamd what do you mean
candy 說 (下午 09:20):
i mean before you write an essay
Roxy 說 (下午 09:20):
discussing together↑
candy 說 (下午 09:20):
you have to organize it
Roxy 說 (下午 09:20):
yep
candy 說 (下午 09:21):
do you get it
Vivi 說 (下午 09:22):
no.... did we discuss what is kind of readers of article?
candy 說 (下午 09:24):
there are some misunderstanding ...
Vivi 說 (下午 09:25):
I agree
Vivi 說 (下午 09:25):
never mind
candy 說 (下午 09:25):
ok
Vivi 說 (下午 09:25):
keep what you are saying
candy 說 (下午 09:25):
ok
candy 說 (下午 09:26):
and the reason why we have to meke a draft is
candy 說 (下午 09:27):
make*
candy 說 (下午 09:27):
at first almost all of us will come up with different kind s of ideas
candy 說 (下午 09:27):
so we have to classify them
candy 說 (下午 09:28):
before we write
Roxy 說 (下午 09:28):
different ideas?you mean ous opinions toward the book?
Roxy 說 (下午 09:28):
our
candy 說 (下午 09:29):
no , i mean before we write
Roxy 說 (下午 09:29):
oops
Roxy 說 (下午 09:29):
sorry
candy 說 (下午 09:29):
the book is teaching us how to write , right?
Roxy 說 (下午 09:29):
that's right
Wendy 說 (下午 09:30):
so
candy 說 (下午 09:30):
so , we can put it in our book review
candy 說 (下午 09:30):
about the common feature of all the chapters
Vivi 說 (下午 09:31):
OH
Vivi 說 (下午 09:31):
!
candy 說 (下午 09:31):

Wendy 說 (下午 09:32):
now we know what you mean
candy 說 (下午 09:32):
good 
Wendy 說 (下午 09:32):
clear explanation
Vivi 說 (下午 09:32):
I think there is some special methods the author provide us to learn
Vivi 說 (下午 09:33):
for example
Vivi 說 (下午 09:33):
in each chapter
Vivi 說 (下午 09:33):
there is a picture
Vivi 說 (下午 09:34):
and we should describe it using the methonds the chapter mention
Vivi 說 (下午 09:34):
do you agree?
candy 說 (下午 09:34):
yes!
Vivi 說 (下午 09:37):
And there are also some questions in each chapter to let us think what we have learned in each chapter repeatedly
Vivi 說 (下午 09:38):
I think maybe discussion also make us remember the methods deeply
Roxy 說 (下午 09:38):
yep. the questions which request you to pick out the mistakes and collect the errors.
Vivi 說 (下午 09:39):
How do you think Wendy
Vivi 說 (下午 09:39):
??
Wendy 說 (下午 09:40):
wait
Wendy 說 (下午 09:40):
let me think for awhile
Wendy 說 (下午 09:41):
the book tells us to find some wrong examples within the sentences it ofers
Wendy 說 (下午 09:41):
offers
Wendy 說 (下午 09:42):
and it is possible for us to make the same mistakes
Wendy 說 (下午 09:42):
so that can be useful, too
Vivi 說 (下午 09:43):
yes
Vivi 說 (下午 09:43):
I agree
Vivi 說 (下午 09:44):
and there is also some explaition beside the article in each chapter
Roxy 說 (下午 09:45):
right. there are particular comments of each form of business letter or memo.
Vivi 說 (下午 09:45):
you can know some main ideas if you can not realize by your own
Vivi 說 (下午 09:45):
?
Vivi 說 (下午 09:46):
what do you mean Roxy
Wendy 說 (下午 09:46):
you can ignore that
Wendy 說 (下午 09:46):
keep talking
Roxy 說 (下午 09:46):
sorry I type the wrong sentence
Roxy 說 (下午 09:47):
I mean there are explainations beside the examples
Roxy 說 (下午 09:47):
sorry
Vivi 說 (下午 09:47):
thats OK
candy 說 (下午 09:47):
you mean the blue word
candy 說 (下午 09:47):

Roxy 說 (下午 09:48):
yes!
Vivi 說 (下午 09:48):
yes
Roxy 說 (下午 09:49):
They give us clear ideas about the examples
Vivi 說 (下午 09:51):
and?
Vivi 說 (下午 09:51):
do anyone have another idea?
candy 說 (下午 09:52):
oh
candy 說 (下午 09:52):
don't forget that you have to revise the articles
candy 說 (下午 09:52):
again and again
candy 說 (下午 09:53):
i mean the writing skill
Vivi 說 (下午 09:53):
I do not know waht do you mean
Vivi 說 (下午 09:53):
oh I see
Vivi 說 (下午 09:54):
yes
Vivi 說 (下午 09:55):
what about Roxy and Wendy?
candy 說 (下午 09:56):
what writing skills you want to add?
Wendy 說 (下午 09:57):
find other useful knowledge and add that into the article while revising
Wendy 說 (下午 09:58):
therefore, the content can be more abundant
candy 說 (下午 09:59):
to support your points
Wendy 說 (下午 09:59):
kind of that
Roxy 說 (下午 09:59):
we can make connection between what we learned in the book and the real experiences
Vivi 說 (下午 10:01):
I think that the intrduction the author said to students and teachers are also useful
Vivi 說 (下午 10:01):
before we leran how to write
Vivi 說 (下午 10:02):
we should have right attitude
Vivi 說 (下午 10:02):
If we have wrong attitude, the article would not be persuasive.
Vivi 說 (下午 10:05):
that's all I want to say
candy 說 (下午 10:05):
yes
candy 說 (下午 10:08):
and ?
Vivi 說 (下午 10:10):
do Roxy and Wendy still here?
Wendy 說 (下午 10:10):
i am still here
Vivi 說 (下午 10:10):

Wendy 說 (下午 10:11):
we have alread talked about the commen things of the book
Roxy 說 (下午 10:12):
and need to follow the guide line of each chapter
Wendy 說 (下午 10:12):
do we need to discuss about some specific points about its chapter's content
Wendy 說 (下午 10:12):
Roxy knows what i mean
Roxy 說 (下午 10:14):
ok we can talk about that
Roxy 說 (下午 10:14):
each chapter has its unique content
Vivi 說 (下午 10:15):
OK
Vivi 說 (下午 10:15):
go on
Vivi 說 (下午 10:16):
I have mentioned that the introduction
Vivi 說 (下午 10:16):
what about other charpters?
Roxy 說 (下午 10:17):
well, for example
Roxy 說 (下午 10:18):
But also a new way to appreciate an art work
Roxy 說 (下午 10:21):
combination of the art appreciation and composition is a totally different method about writing skill.
Roxy 說 (下午 10:22):
as to other chapters...let me think if there is a unique point of which I can give a example
candy 說 (下午 10:26):
ao
candy 說 (下午 10:26):
so
candy 說 (下午 10:27):
is that all we write in the book review

as the first question
candy 說 (下午 12:58):
you've mentioned that the keywords you used to search
Wendy 說 (下午 12:58):

Wendy 說 (下午 12:59):
or experiences
Vivi 說 (下午 12:59):
any other key words?
Wendy 說 (下午 01:00):
you can roughly explain what those outlines mean
Wendy 說 (下午 01:00):
or what kind of situation will have that happen
Roxy 說 (下午 01:01):
is there any other key words which can also related to your topic?
Vivi 說 (下午 01:01):
OK I show you in detail
Vivi 說 (下午 01:02):
Cultural (or culture) shock is a multifaceted experience resulting from numerous stressors occurring in contact with a different culture.(Michael Winkelman)
Vivi 說 (下午 01:03):
and the culture adaptaion also rely on family members' help
Vivi 說 (下午 01:03):
I have got many new ideas in the imformation I searched
Vivi 說 (下午 01:05):
and I gives readers many experience of mine and somebody I interview
Vivi 說 (下午 01:05):
For example
Vivi 說 (下午 01:05):
Monica, who is an exchanged student in our class
Vivi 說 (下午 01:06):
Do you know her?
Vivi 說 (下午 01:07):
can you give me some questions I can ask her
Roxy 說 (下午 01:07):
yes. she also attend class with us
Vivi 說 (下午 01:08):
hello anybody here??
Wendy 說 (下午 01:08):
oh, i know her
Wendy 說 (下午 01:08):
i take the same class with her
Vivi 說 (下午 01:10):
I have asked them did she get used to Taiwan;s life
Vivi 說 (下午 01:10):
and she say yes
Vivi 說 (下午 01:11):
She says that she feels Taiwanese are kind to her, but the boys are too shy.
Besides, she thinks Taiwan is a so democratic country that she can speak her ideas freely. However, there is a phenomena that Monica could not get used to when she in the college of Taiwan at previous six months. The phenomenon is that the high school students are so hard to study, but college students indulge in a lot of
Roxy 說 (下午 01:11):
When did she come to Taiwan?
Roxy 說 (下午 01:11):
I got it
Vivi 說 (下午 01:13):
but college students indulge in a lot of groups, but in her country, the situation is opposite. Thus, she be confused what she should do at first time, but know she know how to strike the balance.

candy 說 (下午 01:13):
it's the opposite from america
Wendy 說 (下午 01:14):
but we have different education system
Vivi 說 (下午 01:14):
So can you give me another ideas
Vivi 說 (下午 01:14):
any question that can provide me to ask her
candy 說 (下午 01:15):
i think maybe you can ask more culture shocks in other aspect
candy 說 (下午 01:15):
such as food here
Wendy 說 (下午 01:15):
since you are talking about discrimination
candy 說 (下午 01:15):
the landscap here,
Roxy 說 (下午 01:15):
the life style
Vivi 說 (下午 01:15):
and after this discussion I have to interview a 外籍新娘
Vivi 說 (下午 01:16):
so any advise to tjis interview??
Wendy 說 (下午 01:16):
you should ask more questions aboiut curlure like what Candy says
Roxy 說 (下午 01:17):
Why did she accept the foreign marriage?
Roxy 說 (下午 01:18):
Is this her will?
Wendy 說 (下午 01:18):
no, it is about how people think of them
Roxy 說 (下午 01:19):
oh I just a little curious about it.
Wendy 說 (下午 01:20):

candy 說 (下午 01:32):
and then illustrate it
candy 說 (下午 01:32):
1.Paper outlines including the title and 1-3 keywords (e.g., euthanasia, gay and lesbian marriage, animal rights, etc). Do you search information using these keywords? In English or Chinese? Why?
Title: Animal welfare
Key word: Movie Dogs, Animal Rights, animal welfare, dog
First of all, I use movie dog to search. The result is nothing because the range is too narrow. Then, I use animal rights and
candy 說 (下午 01:33):
at first i use movie dogs aa the key words
candy 說 (下午 01:33):
but there's not enough information for me to support my essay
candy 說 (下午 01:34):
and after interviewing with professor
Wendy 說 (下午 01:34):
and?
candy 說 (下午 01:34):
she suggested my use the word "animal welfare "
candy 說 (下午 01:34):
and actually it really works
candy 說 (下午 01:35):
2. 4 full citations (see the previous email for the APA formats) including library and Web sources and their intended audiences (e.g., general, academic, customers, peers and friends, other). Are you satisfied with the quality of these resources? What difficulty do you encounter?

candy 說 (下午 01:36):
above
Wendy 說 (下午 01:36):
and what kind of thing they will encounter
candy 說 (下午 01:36):
i will talk each annotation briefly
Wendy 說 (下午 01:36):
maybe you can find some other things about dog to explain why you want to talk about animale walfare
Wendy 說 (下午 01:37):
recently, more and more people would cast physical abusement upon their pets
candy 說 (下午 01:38):
i've used a film clip, a piece of news, a wikipedia resources, and a research paper
Wendy 說 (下午 01:38):
this kind of law, animal welfare, can give them a chance to survive
Roxy 說 (下午 01:38):
well. I think that some welfare are just suitable for the "pets"
Wendy 說 (下午 01:38):
umm that is useful
Wendy 說 (下午 01:38):
what do you think about my opinion, Candy
Roxy 說 (下午 01:38):
but not all the animals
Wendy 說 (下午 01:39):
or do you have any questions
candy 說 (下午 01:39):
i think i will put emphasis on dogs
Roxy 說 (下午 01:39):
some people are just worry about their pets
candy 說 (下午 01:39):
because i use the movie dogs trend to start my essay
candy 說 (下午 01:40):
and then bring the topic to animale welfare
Wendy 說 (下午 01:40):
yes i mean some dogs people keep in house also have this problem
Wendy 說 (下午 01:40):

candy 說 (下午 01:42):

Roxy 說 (下午 01:43):
did you try to find some laws of animal welfare to support the opinion?
candy 說 (下午 01:44):

Roxy 說 (下午 01:48):
as to the key words :euthanasia
Roxy 說 (下午 01:48):
I search information by using this keyword in both English and Chinese.
Roxy 說 (下午 01:49):
Beacuse through these two ways I can get more information about the details.
Roxy 說 (下午 01:49):
On the other hand, if there are terms which I can not get their meaning clearly,
I can understand its meaning through Chinese explanations.

Wendy 說 (下午 01:49):
maybe you can find some information in medical journal
Wendy 說 (下午 01:50):
they may have some reports about that
Roxy 說 (下午 01:50):
yep the terms came from it
Wendy 說 (下午 01:51):
and some laws you can find no matter whether that support euthanasia or not
Roxy 說 (下午 01:51):
I'll try to gether laws which support it or not
candy 說 (下午 01:52):
oh, did you try to make a comparison in different countries?
candy 說 (下午 01:52):
as i know, different county has duifferent law about it
Roxy 說 (下午 01:53):
yep. but it is only admitted in few countries
candy 說 (下午 01:53):
and the social groups also play an important role in enacting this controversial issue
candy 說 (下午 01:54):
they may have different demand
Roxy 說 (下午 01:54):
that will get involved into moral problem
candy 說 (下午 01:54):
they protest on the street
Wendy 說 (下午 01:55):
not only moral problems
Wendy 說 (下午 01:55):
i think you can find other aspects of this issue
Wendy 說 (下午 01:55):
