Reflection paper

So far, I am really interesting in lesson two-Dictionary Exercise. Before this Lesson, I don’t know about our computer can use so many website to assist my English. Teacher has introduces five Dictionaries to us. One of my favorite tools is ”Oxford Dictionaries”, because it is in a whole English website. Translation section is to explain in English. In this way I can help improve my ability in the whole English environment.
In addition to the reading, speaking also is a very important part. The teacher has introduced a software useful for learning speaking. That is a website and apps, too. The name of this software is “MyET”. The website has a practice of dialogue and Quiz. Speaking practice cannot easily to training in our life. We have practice two part of Quiz. One of them is conversation, the other is sentence by sentence speaking test. I am very interesting in sentence by sentence speaking, this test has degree respectively. When I have to speaking more sentence that means I get the point. This is not just a test, I think this is like a game. So that, I will really appreciate teacher introduce this software to us. After this lesson, I will use “MyET” to improve my speaking skill.

I would choose computer assisted language learning as my courses this semester, because I want to use the Internet to increase my English skills. With these methods in the future I can use “MyET” at any time to practice. I can also use the website to check the dictionary I do not know the word, and I can understand the use of conjunctions. By the way, this lesson not only is teach us how to use tools, but also is teach us writing ability. We have homework to do each week, writing practice can let me know how many vocabulary I do not know. Then, I can more practice my vocabulary.

Steve Jobs's speech encourage us how to progress when we are in the adversary. He tells us "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.", so we just have to follow our heart. Doing something we want to do,because life can not repeat. Don't doing something make us regret. By the way, I really like Steve Job said "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish",that is the point we have to learning.
