My paperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i think that everybody in our class worked very hard on their papers in last few weeks.
at the beginning, i wanted to write a paper to compare chineses architecture and western auchitecture but i found its too hard to found similar information to compare so that i changed to write only about Chinese architecture. On last friday, when i started to write my paper i found that i read too many useless articlesin last 2 weeks. it is very very very hard to start and choose my main ideas so that i thought i lost my way. however, i found its not very hard to write when i finished my first two pages but i still need to work a lot on organizing my paper and choosing some interesting main ideas which must be very easy to understand because Chinese architecture is too complicated.
now i have finished about 8 to 9 pages of my paper. i will spend more time on my paper this week because i want to write a good and interesting paper.

Literacy

Computer games literacy


When I was eleven years old, I first got touch with computer and computer games. I thought that computer games were amazing because I could control some characters in some games and I thought that I was the character and in the game which I was playing. I spent most of my time on playing computer games at that time. After, there were more and more people began to use computers and play computer games. Most people wanted to compare with each other in order to show who the best player in the game is so that I had to spend more time to practice the game because I did not want to lose either. Moreover, I learnt the importance of team works. For instance, my friends and I organized some computer games such as Counter Strike, we spent a huge amount of time not only on practicing personal skills but also on team works. After we won the game, every one of our group stopped playing the game and we started to learn another computer game together. However, I found that computer games took too many of my time and most of my courses were failed so that I decided to stop playing computer games until I finish my study years.

Population

I like this midterm's topic-population issue because it is a topic which is really closed to our real lifes. i did not know about that in some developed countries the population is decreasing.
In japan, women donot want to have children because they have to work and earn money so that their poplulation is decreasing. some old people in japan, they donot have their children to take care of them because their children have to earn money for their lives so that they donot have enough time to look after their parents. in China, i think we have the similar issue that people have to pay more attention on their works so that they do not have enough time with their families. Also, chinese women are more likely to have their babies as late as possible. however, it is a good news for china because there are too many people in china and we have to keep our population going down.
in one word, population issue is not a problem for one or two countries but for our world. different countries have different kinds of problems about population. they have to work together to solve it!!!

after today's lecture, i realized why men have so many differences with women. I think it's true that men are always devoid of eye contact when they talk to others. Based on my own experiences, culture differences play an really important role in this issue. For instance, in China, if you keep looking at a girl's eyes when you are tlaking with her, it's not very polite. Moreover, I realized that in a lecture, the lecturer should have abilities to attract your audiences to listen so that the lecture can choose some good and funny examples for his/her lecture because those small examples not only can help your audiences anderstand you but also can attract your audiences keep listening.

Happiness


Happiness can be having a good friend, being together with family and even just receiving a smile sometimes. The Chinese Spring Festival is coming in this month. It’s the most important celebration in China. Everyone is happy during that time because people can stay together, talk about what happened in the last year, share their feelings and pleasure and help each other solve some problems which happened last year. Otherwise, happiness has closed relationship between delight, enjoyment, health, satisfaction, money and friends. I was very happy in January because I was in China at that time and I could see all of my friends and my parents. For me, happiness is very simple. I just want to spend all my time with my family and friends, share what we have together and have a special space which created by ourselves. Hah~~~ one more thing is that I have to have enough moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
