In the lecture the professor takes his experience to be an example to explain us more clearly. He taught the eight years old students gow to find the books in library.

Anyone who feel interesting in my website could leave  the message or comments on my message board. After i got the response i could reply them and have some conversation.

2. Do you prefer to do the diffcult assignment in the morning or in the evening?

I prefer to do my diffcult assignment in the morning for two reasons. First of all, I have to work in the evening. I have a part-timr job in the library and I have to work late. So there is not too much time for to study in the evening. The more important thing is I am energrtic in the morning. You know, people could be more forcus on their study when they have more energy and they can study more efficiently and quickly. That’s why I prefer to handle my duffcult assignment in the morning.

3. The announcement is talking about the school should waive the requirment of taking the writing course for the students whose major is science. In the coversation, the boy disagrees with this idea. He argues that scientists also need a good skill of writing to express their idea or discovery clearly. He used his father to be the example to illustrate that there is no way the scientists could share their finding if they didn’t have good skill of writing. In addition, other students also have to work on their study very hard. For example, his major in history and he also has to do his research in the library. It doesn’t make sense let the scientific students waive the writing corse just because they have to work long in the lab.

When the parent muff would like to find out their own babies, they could make the same sound on the babys and the baby could response to their parents because they recognize their parents’ sound. That’s a strong evidence to support the concept of prematl learning.

You know the expense of education for students are very expensive and I don’t have extra money to pay for that.

ok for my friends. The other is to do that can save me some money.

I tried to talk about that people in my country would like to wear casually. People prefer to wear jean and tshirt when they go outside or go shopping. The main reason is that people were affected by the west culture such as movie and tv drama a lot recently. People would like to dress like them because they seem to be gorgeous.

The satisfers will choose the first job which they could fulfill its requirement. For instance the lawer could choose the first company which need them.

Last month I took the TOEFL test again and there was one hard speaking question for me. The question is what is the most changing thing in your country in 12 years. I tried to talk about the health insurance in Taiwan. I knew people living in Taiwan were forced to participate in this insurance which was established by our government. But I was not familiar with this topic so I left 5~10 secs to think about what I should say and organize my sentence. After the test, I tried to find some news or article about this topic and here you are. I should read more article about academics and society.

That’s very interesting because people living in USA have to pay their own health insurence indivisually.
