ASP Asiignment P&D

We practiced P&D about Meiland today, and I presented "New Types of Intellectual Work". This part has many information and repeats the same words by changing the phrases and words. In my presentation, I couldn`t explain the content well, and said the same words in many times. Also, I didn`t use expressions that signal a new idea or topic when I change the subjects . I think it was difficult for listener to understand clearly. Next time, I should improve these bad points .

ASP Assignment Presentation Google document

I learned the way of making a presentation on google document on Tuesday, and I was very surprised to get some images or pictures and movies easily. It is very useful to make a power point, and it makes presentation interesting. I also think it is a good point that we can share our power point on the Internet. We don`t have to meet all members of a group at the same time. We can share the ideas on the Internet, so it is a good advantage to make a power point in a short time.

ARW Blogging Assignment

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy helps him.
Three adjectives that describe Santiago are patient, confidence, and old. First, I describe he is patient because he kept trying to get a fish for eighty-four days even if he didn`t take a fish. If he hadn`t been patient, he would have stopped taking a fish. Second, I describe he is confidence because the word of "confidence" is written in many times in the book when the author defined him. For example, "The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes"(page-13), and "His hope and his confidence had never gone"(page-13). He said these words to a boy kindly as if he was his grandfather. Third,I describe he is old because he had deep wrinkles in the back of his neck and the brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropical sea on his cheek. In addition, his hand had the deep-creased(page9-10). We can see that he is very old by his face and hands.
Two adjectives that describe Manolin are kind and child. First, I think he is kind because he felt sad that old man come with his skiff empty, and he always went down to help him carry many equipments.(page9) He often helped the old man kindly.
Second, I describe that he is a still child because he had to obey his family, father, and he didn`t have a power to decide and do what he wanted to.

ASP Assignment Presentation

We learned thw ways of a good presentation on Friday. A good presentation is made up of content information, structure,and delivery. I think content information is very important to tell people something because it is necessary to understand what we talk about by ourselves, and gather a lot of information about the topic. It takes time and it`s so hard to understand everything, but the preparations helps people to make sense of presentation easily. Structure and delivery are also significant. Structure helps people understand smoothly, and delivery with eye contact makes listeners consentrate on attending the speech. I learned that we need three factors to do a good presentation.

ARW Essay2 Lying information

The one of supporting pieces of evidence that I found for body paragraph 1 is a paraphrase from "http://www.unki-up.com/i/yoiko_254.html". It tells us that it is sometimes important to tell a lie in order to keep good relationship.

The supporting pieces of evidence that I found for body paragraph 2 is a paraphrase from "http://www.n-seiryo.ac.jp/~usui/koneko/uso.html".From the information, lying helps people fell relieve.I also use information which I used in paragraph 1.

ASP Assignment The desert survival problem

We discussed what is important items forsurvival. First, individual score is 86,and I thought water is the most important thing,and the least important item is "plastic rain coat". I couldn`t notice the different useful usage of the rain coat. Second, group score is 62,and in our group,we thought it is a good idea to stay here, and I think so too.We think "overcoat" is important because it can help people keep warm at night. Finally, the teacher told us the "official ranking"that cosmetic mirror is the most important item. I was surprised to hear that because I think it is impossipoble to reach the light to helicopter. I think it is too difficult to save in my opinion.

ASP Discussion The Mine

In my group, we think we have to help children at first, and women, men, and older people. We also emphasize thier backgrounds and age. We think the rich and the scientist influence many people, so we have to help them at once, and besides children and young people have a future. However, we couldn`t have a critical thinking. When I listened to a critical thinking, I disagreed with the opinion because I don`t think it is the best order to help people. In the idea, Mike is the second, but I think he have to lead and help people in the mine because he may know how to deal with the emergency matters and practiced when he was a soldier. If he have gone up in the beginning, people in the mine will be panicked. Accordingly, it isn`t a good order to help him at first.
