Our class learned about Fallacies. Topic is these. 

･Begging the question・Non-sequitur・Red herring・Appeal to pity・Band wagon・Ad hominem・Sweeping generalization 



I also reconsidered about Writing Help (Support) Desk. We can get advice and improve essay in the library. I know about it, but I have not used, so I want to use this system.





I belong to dance the club called smooth steppers and practice began this Monday. I decided to join hip hop genre. I  enjoyed it. July 4th is the day of first dance event for freshman. I will appear it as a member of hip hop team. Also, I and one of my dormitory friend teamed up and plan to participate this dance event. Therefore, I will become busier. I have to try hard both study and club.

The college life

We analyzed the essay about death penalty in class. Analyzing other's essay helps to improve own essay, because we can notice good and bad quality of the essay.  

I met my friend's mother on Monday. She came ICU because of her job. I talked with her about the life at ICU. Thorough talking I gradually noticed that I  enjoy the college life. Though to do many assignments is very  hard, I live a full life at here. 

By the way, yesterday was Korean night day. I practiced Korean idle dance in 4 days. At first, I  hesitated to  do the dance in Korean night. But I enjoyed this event. I wanted to practice more, but there was no time. Next time I will show dance in front of many people, I want to satisfy with my performance. I thank to my dormitory friends for making dinner when I was tired on last holiday.

  

It's hard to find evidence

I watched following videos. 

* Evidence for argument 
* Tests for an Argument Subject 
* Criteria for Weighing Evidence 
* Analyzing Assumptions 

I wrote 2nd paragraph of essay and realized that how difficult to find good evidences. It's too hard so I took a lot of time to find evidences. My argument is nuclear power should be banned. I thought it is easy topic to write, but it isn't. Nuclear power problem is deep, so I have to study more about it. 

This holiday was very busy because I had to remember dance for "Korean night". Our dance team will participate "Korean night" on this Tuesday. Actually, I don't know much about "Korean night" and I started practicing dance on last Friday. So I have much anxiety now. Oh my goodness.         

Friday

I have only 1 class to attend on Friday, so I have neglected to do home work until now. I always think that "I will do home work as soon as possible" after the classes, but this kind of will is soon will be forgotten. What should I do? Please give me advice!

I watched the video about peer editing. We should do peer editing after writing an essay. It helps a lot to improve own essay. Peer editing gives us new point of view. If we work oneself, we can't realize the mistakes or unclear part. But too concentrate on find grammar mistakes is not good, because "the Grammarly" (the soft can find grammar mistakes) can do it.

I will attend the class from 3:40 pm and it is the final class of this week. Happy Friday~:)

To write a nice essay

I watched the following video.

To write a nice essay, what should we do? First, research is a crucial part to write an essay. It's difficult to find information in English, but research supports writer's opinion. We can strengthen an essay topic with research. Secondly, outlining can help plan an essay. Before we write an essay, we should think of the structure of an essay. It helps to write an essay more clearly. After writing an essay, we have to polish it. Peer edits each other and omit extra part. These things I mentioned in this blog are important. I'm going to write 1 paragraph of the essay from now. Bye~~~~~~~~~~~~:)

After the school retreat

I went to Yamanashi for the school retreat. It was very fun. I saw stars and stayed up all night with my section member. I also made new friends! Activity in the ground was the nicest memory during the retreat. My team won the first place!  

Now, I have to look reality. I have to do homework! yeah~!!

 By the way, I will talk about last ARW class. We graded other student's CWT test and learned how to use Ever note. I think Ever note is very useful tool, but I haven't made use of it well. To write a nice essay, I will use Ever note efficiently. 

I will write about what did I learn from last ARW class. First, we discussed our essay topic. Each of our member of the group explain the topic and what will we write. I also learned how to organize the essay. My essay topic is "nuclear power should be banned." I didn't have clear view of my essay, but after tutorial by my teacher Dan, I can organize the my essay. I think it is also important to brainstorm before we write the essay.

No to racism

I watched the following video. 

http://9oo.jp/tv2349

This video's main purpose is to oppose racial discrimination. They ate banana and said "We are all monkeys!" to show people are equal. Racial discrimination is a huge problem in the world. Do you know "Martin Luther King, Jr"? He made enormous efforts to solve the discrimination. It is very difficult to affect to the world like him, but we can contribute to this significant problem.  Though what we can do is small things, it is meaningful.

Before I kick the bucket!!!

I will show you my bucket list today!

・To talk with Jaejung 

Jaejung was a member of my favorite musician group called　"Tohoshinki". He is from Korea. I love Jaejung, so I want to talk with him even if once in my life. 

・To take a round-the-world tour

I like to go to tour. I went to "Kyoto" alone last spring vacation. To go to the place that I haven't went is very exciting. It is the chance to know about other cultures and people. I know that to take a round-the -world tour cost me much money. I will earn enough money to go to the tour.

   

・To get marriage 

I think it is possible. Maybe..........

・To get a job that I want to do.

My dream was to be a teacher, but I don't know what I want to be now. Even now, I'm interested in to be a teacher, but I'm not sure. I will try to think and look for job that I really want to do.

These are my bucket list. There are many things that I want to do before I die, but main is these.

I learned how to link pictures. I didn't know that there is a way to shorten URL. It is very useful. 

Netiquette

Welcome to my blog! Thank you for reading my blog! Do you know the word "Netiquette"? Actually, I hadn't know this word before I heard it from my teacher. This word is a compound word of "Inter-net" and "etiquette".　When you use Inter-net, you have to follow the  "Netiquette".

I will introduce the 2 main rule of "Netiquette". First,not to speak ill of others.  It is also moral of real world. Don't do this in the Inter-net too. It can be a cause of quarrel and opposition. Second role is that to treat personal information carefully. To protect personal information is very important. There are many people who try to get personal information and make bad use of it.

Let's enjoy and communicate in the Inter-net with good Netiquette .

"I'm always really sleepy. I don't want to wake up early every morning". " It is trouble some to talk with new friends". "I don't want to go school! There are a lot of assignments!" Don't you say these words? If you said, watch out. It is the sign of "GoGatsuByo". "GoGatsuByo" is the Japanese word. You don't want to anything if you suffer from "GoGatsuByo". "GoGatsu" means　May in English. We have Golden Week in May, so after Golden Week we tend to want to rest more. 

What should we do to avoid "GoGatsuByo"? It is important to lead a well-regulated life even if holidays. Staying up late is not good. You should go to bed early and wake up early. It is also effective to make good friends. You want to go to school if you want to see your friends.
