Discussing Board 1 2&3

Number one:
 The impact of English on the economy

   English has becoming the most popular international language in the world. In china, English gives positive influence Chinese economy in many aspects, such as English education business, export business and English entertainment. Firstly, English has gives more work opportunities for graduate, so a lot of people developing the education industry for the increasing number of student who need English for their future education. Secondly, Chinese has becoming the world factory exporting every country in the world, so English is more and more important to improving the export business. Finally, the entertainment of English consequences to people’s life, many website and television channel provide entertainment life for people. In conclusion, the impact of English on the economy has positive for Chinese international business.

Number two:
 E7 oral presentation

  Oral presentation is a showing way for spread information and showing people’s opinion. However, some people are not good at it caused by some reasons, such as, nervous, weak in summarized idea, bad body language and so on. Personally, I like doing presentation, because I am more confident about speaking maybe that due to I infrequently talk with friends and discussing with them. In those practices, it is proving my summarized skill for making a simple sense to friends. In additionally, sometime the talking with 5 or 6 people just likes the surrounding of the presentation, and that gives me more confident to speak in the public. In the other hand, presentation needs academia reference for evidencing the main topic.
So we need more methods to find reference, such as, library website, academia journal and lecture notes. In conclusion, oral presentation is an effective way for information present, so we need this skill for future study and work.

Number three:
Who really needs English?

  With the consequences of globalization, English has become the lingua franca for the communication between different counties. It is said that people in the world needs English. However, not all of people need English, such as some small countries without international business, native area people and some people do not need English for life. On the other hand, I am going to analysis that who are really needs English. Firstly, international business employee needs English for the trade, because the English as a lingua franca contribute for globalization. Secondly, in the education aspect, overseas students, sciences, technology research, all of those need English. In conclusion, English just a language using in the specific area in the world, not every people need English even it is a lingua franca.

WEEK FOUR IN THE END

Final week reflection coming out

This is the final week of E7H. Next week, I will finish whole my English language learning. I am so exciting about that. This week I got my result of my middle essay exam which is not really good. However, I got the feedback and learned my problem which I need prove for the final exam.

As well as I see the exam result comes from 3 aspects. Those are task completion, content and ideas, structure and coherence, language structure and vocabulary. And my problems are that I need focus on completion of main idea of article, attempt at complex structures error evident and distract the reader. Even the result is not good, I am glad I can see my weaknesses before the final exam. so that, I will practice the essay structure, focusing the summery the article and remember more correcting grammar after finish.

In the other part, the essay changes from one article to two articles. That will be harder than the first one exam, which I need improving my rate of reading. And basic on reading article, the essay need more information prepare before the essay exam. Furthermore, I almost finish the oral presentation which has PPT, academic reference from library books and journal. This is time I need 10 minutes and 5 minutes answering questions. So I need prepare for cute cards and practice at home about the time and body language. Finally, I am confidence about the listening, but I also need more practice about hand writing rate and detail information.

Overall, I found my problems and improved. By this journal, I organized my study and thinking and planning my next week study. I will miss this way of study. Maybe I will continue the way of my study even in the university. Hopefully, I will finish this E7H course and going to the marketing study in the RMIT. I am waiting and preparing the exam.

WEEK THREE

This is my week 3 reflection.

During this week’s study, I improved a lot in the difference apart of English. For example, when I prepare my oral presentation, I need organized my PPT and search the library website in order to find some academic references to support. When I practice listening, I need use more short sign to get the idea of the lecture as soon as possible. When I do the reading, I need analysis the every sentence and think about the possible bias, logic problem, evidence and language of the author used. Then use all of them for my analysis essay.

In addition, we did a middle exam. We spent 2hours to read the article and write down some notes. And then, we spent 90minutes to do the essay. This is my first time 90mintus to do 500 hundred words. I felt very nervous when I spent 30minutes just finished introduction. Thanks god, finally, I finished on time, but I have no time check. So I cannot say it’s good or not. Anyway, this experience is really precious. Because I saw my problem is writing rate too slow, and is not familiar with writing structure. I will practice to improve my hand writing rate, and familiar the structure as well.

Week 3 is the middle of the whole E7; I feel the time is going too fast. There is a final exam waiting for me, or saying that the channel is coming soon. But I feel more energy supporting me move on the way to the final. Right now, I already into the E7, I learned a lot, changed a lot and felt a lot. I am so happy I am improved, which will help me survive in the future university study.

I am waiting, I am doing, and I am changing.
