reflection

Of all the projects, I like the photo collection best. I always think that pictures can give us imaginationa and inspiration. So when I was doing the pictures, I enjoyed it. I do not want say which project I do not like because I think every project has taught me something. English should be learned from life. This course not only taught me all aspects of English skills, but also the latest technology in the world, such as wikipedia and podcast. I also learned APA format which must be useful for my future study in my regular classes. All of those things that I have been taught are the basis of the college study. This course is really helpful.
Overall, I have learned a lot from this course.

Differences in Writing

The most different parts between writing in China and in America are the languages and the orgnizations.
Writing in China is easier for us mainly because we are quite familiar with Chinese, our first language. We know how to make the sentences look more beautiful and we never worry about making grammar mistakes. There are usually four to five paragraphs in an essay, sometimes more. Every paragraph has a thesis statement but will not be specific enough so that the readers will have more interests to the content of the essay.
On the other hand, there are so much differences when writing in English. We have to pay more attention to the grammar. I think the most difficult part is the verb tense. The word choice is a problem too. moreover, the orgnization is strange to me. I have to rewrite my thesis statement again and again before I hand in my paper so that I can make sure my thesis statement is clear enough to the readers. I have a lot to learn about English writing here.
