Task 4

1.
Sometimes, we have to issue our thoughts on the blogger. But most of time we also need to bring books to go to class in the classroom.
2.
I think the “Networked Students” are students mainly learned from the Internet.
I think learning from the internet has pros and cons, no having absolute good or bad.
On the bright side, learning from the Internet is unrestricted by the distance and time. We can have classmates who are in different countries, in this way, we can not only make more friends but also get many different thoughts from different countries’ classmates about the same question. In addition we also can advantage the abundant resources on the Internet such as google and wikispaces. However, some information on the Internet is not absolutely correct which is likely to mislead your thought. Hence, when we learn from the internet, we must to have ability to distinguish the information’s true and false. And if we only learn from the internet, we will reduce the opportunity to interact with people. We cannot face to face to discuss deeply what we are thinking about and what our classmates want to express.
In the sum, if we use the internet appropriately, the internet will be a good helper for our learning.

Task 3

Actually, I seldom follow Britney Spears’ movement. The way to know her is from the entertain news on TV. The news about her was almost bad news such as talking drugs, acting strangely and getting divorce. But, recently Britney Spears said she confessed the wrong things she had done before, she also want to back on the stage again with her new album and new look.

I think after going through so many bad things, Britney Spears really wanted to make some change. In spite of that she had done many things that many people didn’t agree, I think I will choose believe her. Because nobody is perfect, sometimes we also did something wrong. After we regretted what we had done, we must want others giving us one more chance and believing us we really want to stare again. Therefore,I think we should to walk in Britney Spears’ shoes, give her one more chance.

I wouldn’t change my view if she was my best friend or family. I will courage and accompany with her, helping her get rid of bad habits and guide her to the right way. Because I think the family and friend’s company and support are the most important things to a person who want to correct her errors and make a fresh start.

Task 2

We often hear somebody told us: “I am doing this for YOU!” or “I meant well,
especially heard from our parents. When we heard this words that it meant they did
something we didn’t like or agree. As I heard something which my parents did for me
without my agreement, my first reaction was angry and reject the decision as possible as I can . After some time, however, I will rethink the whole thing and search reasons why my parents did the thing for me. In addition, I also will ask my parents to
discuss with me first if they want to do something for me next time.

Take an example, when I was a junior high student, my father forced me to sweep streets where near I live at morning in weekends. At the beginning, I was reluctant to sweep streets.
Because I wanted to have more time to sleep, I also thought why should I go to clean the
garbage which was others made. After several times, however, I found it was not really bad.
I can keep regular hours even in the weekend. And, when I swept streets, seeing the clean
streets, I felt joyful. Others would felt joyful too while they saw streets, I thought. Therefore,
I rethought the thing my father asked me to do and realized my father’s motive. So, when we
meet someone asked us to do something we don’t want to do, we should calm down and rethink requests again first. There must have some reasons why they want us do that.

Task 1

1.

(1). Yes, I have told people" I have my own values and principles".
(2). I will tell him/her I don’t think that never skipping classes is ashamed. I am a person who is discreet and follow the prescribed order. And I think that being a student, we should take charge of our studies. We should be responsible for ourselves and be respect to professors too.

2.
(1). No, I don’t certainly believe everything people tell me. Because, when we heard this news from others, it might have already passed by many people. Everyone has his/her own thought to everything he/she heard. As soon as we hear something, we must make some comments on things. Before the person who told you the thing must also put his/her comments into the thing. As we got something from others, it might have been exaggerated by people who heard and passed.
(2). I will ask my friend where she got the news first and then remind her doesn’t readily believe it. As a saying goes,”no pains no gains.”
