culture shock and adaption(revise)
Michael Winkelman(No date) Retrieved November 13th.From http://www.asu.edu/clas/shesc/projects/bajaethnography/shock.htm
SUMMARY
If immigrants are not able to adapt to new environment, they maybe has some psychological and physiological reactions that caused by culture shock. When psychological and physiological systems interact, both of them will be ill. Culture adaption should depend on personal tolerance to cross-culture. Your willingness to learn new culture is also important. Because ambiguity is major reason resulting in stress, learning how to accept ambiguity is a way to adapt yourselves to new environment but you do not need to abandon your identity.
Reflection
I totally agree with this author’s viewpoint, because I have same symptom as he mentions when I transferred to another school only from one city to another city. I was easier to become disappointed and get sick during the time I have not adopted to the new condition. Maybe also that is the first time I changed my life style, so I needed to take long time to change my attitude. Once I used to expose myself to new environment, I can deal with this problem easier. In addition, the exchanged students’ adaption is also a problem we should discussed deeply, because the world becomes a global village so that ourselves also would encounter this problem some day.

Because of election of American president, the question of racial identity is mentioned. But why people's behavior is valued by his or her race? This is the question worthy of thinking. But on the other hand, when this new half-black
President won this election, we can know that people now can accept different idea from different races. This is also a symbol of progress. This example also reminds me that I have read an article about Martin Luther King Jr, who insists the racial equality. Now Obama has more power to contribute to society, and the policy of racial identity is a more important issue he should consider seriously.

Both these two articles discuss about the policy of immigrant problem, but they have different ideas. The first article shows that though some immigrant is bad to their country, for example, some criminals. However, there are still some immigrants is helpful for some work, and the author suggests the government should provide them some appropriate jobs. On the other hand, the second article says that Ireland government should improve their policy to limit too many immigrants, because Ireland’s environment is not good.
Both two articles remind me of the importance about government policy. Sometimes, the conflict between two races is not caused by racialism but by social problem. And we should not argue which one is right, locals or immigrants, because at times, policy has an influential role in modern society.

immigrant families
Mary Anne Domokos Cheng. Retrieved December 24 ,2008 From:http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/pathways/immigration/counseling.htm
This author tells us about what is “immigrant family” and what kinds of difficulties they will encounter during adaptation process. In addition, the author says that counselor is helpful to them, because he or she can become a role who would know situation of each members of family, and then builds a bridge between them. These ideas give me a new concept. I have not thought that family also has problems until I read this essay. Perhaps, once the problems are solved in family first, the new social identity in their new environment would be lesser pressure on them.

meeting with teacher Liang (2)
Before meeting with my teacher, Emma Liang, I wrote an outline of my research paper to discuss. I asked teacher Liang how to arrange it would be great, and she told me that I could choose the appropriate part of my interview about foreign student to support some main ideas in different paragraphs.
In addition, teacher Liang told me some faults in my article. For example, sometimes I use wrong adverbs to link sentences together, so she suggest me to read the last chapter to know how to use them. Besides, I also make some mistake about wrong on sentence.
I will improve these defects as soon as possible to show better research paper in the end of this semester.

In contrast to old methods of education, now teachers change their ways to teach students to write. Instead of writing instruction from finished products, they like to let students experience the process of writing. Moreover, teachers also want students to try different kinds of article and to share their writings to different ranges of people. Some promoters which support this method teach students to know some kinds of literary form and their relationships to mode, aim, audience and media. In addition, we can not deny that computer has shifted composition. Also, in most new schools, they set some computers in classroom, and even make an area which provides students with computers to write, and teachers also teach students how to use online resource. Due to benefits from nonprint media to modern writers, teachers also should suggest students involve in writing for media.
According to this article, we can deeply know that we can not just use old way to write nowadays. Going through the whole process instead of learning from finished products maybe is really good to us, because we can more realize our work. For example, when we start to plan our topic, we can choose what we want to write and which information we want to use. Furthermore, when write the article which we are interested in, we may encounter less choke points, and even though we have some difficulties, we also can solve it with less unhappiness. Besides, I agree with the author that we should write not only for teachers but also for real audiences. Because writing has some influence, it might change people’s concepts and decisions. Through writing articles, we can find some problems by chance which we do not pay much attention to. Or, even though we ever notice those issues, we do not realize its reason and situation until we look for some information to write them.
I also admit that computer plays an important role in writing. When I was a freshman in English department, I was unfamiliar with using computer to write, and I thought it would obstruct me to think what I want to express. However, one year passed, I have found the advantages of writing on computer. With computer we need not to re-write all articles when I want to add new ideas or delete some wrong paragraphs. And surfing on the Internet to look for information is more convenient than searching in library. Since I overcame the sense of exclusion to computer writing, my writing has become more abundant.
I think this shift is good for us. It makes us understand some issues around the world, and let us know the reason why should we writ issues. If we do not participate in whole process of writing, we can not know the pleasure. And writing on computer is more efficient, writing for media will make your idea more popular. The appropriate change will be good for us and we also need to prepare a new attitude to accept it.

comment to classmates
To Sophia
You arranged your article vey well. But there are just few mistakes in your article. The main mistake is unnecessary words, such as, ”for every one of us” and “ that author has mention”. By the way, your summary is very brief and clear, but you can write more about your conclusion to show your whole viewpoint to readers.
To Beverly
There are some mistakes of tense in your article, for example, causative verb should add regular verb. And I think your last paragraph is not appropriate. The idea seems not to appear in the article of exam. Perhaps, you misunderstand the meaning. Maybe you can make a conclusion about your idea, and make your article longer.
To Elsa
There are some mistakes in your article. For example, “the internet resource” maybe should be changed into “the resource on your internet”. Besides, in your fifth paragraph, the sentence “the whole class can provide their opinions to the student” can be changed into” All classmates can provide their opinions each other. These are just my advice.
To Joyce
There are some informal words in your academic issue, such as “talking about”, “I think”, “very much”. In addition, the second paragraph jus a long sentence which has no verb. Maybe you can try to combine some paragraphs to show a complete idea. And you also can discuss the article more deeply because your article is too short.
To Candy
I think your summary and reflection show that you read the article of exam carefully. But there has some unnecessary sentence in your issue. For example, “ As I talked about the blog in the last paragraph”. Besides, I think “ridiculous” is an informal word in academic issue. By the way, pay attention to some little mistakes of grammar.
To Ocean
I think the first mission you should finish is separating your article into several paragraphs. In addition, I think there are some unnecessary sentences in the article, such as “In my opinion” and “as it is mentioned in the passage”. I think your summary is clear, but I think you can discuss the article of exam more deeply to make your article longer.
To Claire
I think your article is clear to show readers your ideas about education improving.
But there are some suggest I want to provide for you. You should make your summary briefer and shorter. Besides, I think you can add a paragraph of conclusion to finish your article.
To Dimitri
I think your summary is clear, but if you can add some adverb to connect your sentences, your summary would be smoother. In addition, I think it is great that you provide your example to support your idea, and that make the idea more persuasive.
To Joyce
In my opinion, your summary is clear, but you can try to put those paragraphs together, because separating the article may lose its connection. Besides, you can give an example about your experience, and that maybe can help your idea more persuasive.
To Wendy
Your summary maybe loses the part of “computer”. You can discuss any part of the article more deeply, but you should show complete ideas of this article in the beinig. By the way, you can change “we should give the reader.” Into “we should give to readers.”
