Writing Journal

I used to write journals before for other writing classes. I used to write journals in Writing 4. It is a simple topic because you just write one topic in every week. The topic is writing your thinking and feeling about your week which you have just spent. Right now, while studying in writing 5, I am so interested in activities in class. In Writing 5^th of class, I write a lot more than other classes. In the first time, I am so stressed about writing a blog because I am not confidence in writing. However, this is easier because the blog does require about grammar, spelling, word choices, and students just do and submit it.  Moreover, the topics are diversity and broad, and they make me feel interesting when the topics ask and share about educational experiences. Therefore, writing blogs gradually become my favorites. The blogs look like a bridge such as a feedback to connect between students, their friends, and teachers. In my opinions, the blog assignment should require students have at least 2 comments each week. It helps the students have a habit of writing, and it makes students familiar with English. If students did not have to comment, it is very difficult for students because they do not have feedbacks from their friends. The comments help students know how their classmate more and create a sense of community in the classroom. In addition, they can study experiences from their classmate. It is a short time to find right ways to study English. Actually, in the first time, I was so tired to write a blog of every week. It made me waste a lot of time to think and write, but right now I am so interested in the blog. Writing blogs such as habit to help me connect English and my friends in the classroom. Furthermore, It helps me understand the way of my friends get succeed in English. I really like writing blogs in this class. Thank our sweet Bonnie.

Following to www.wordsandphrase.info, in my blog entry, it tells me have 75% of 1 – 500, 15% of 501 – 300, and 10% of >3000. This information make me extremely surprise because I never seen it before. It makes me enormously happy and excited because it helps me to improve writing skill, and I can study it by myself. I would like to change regarding the vocabulary used in my writing because it help me how to write essay by using academic vocabulary. This is the program which I look for to help me improve my skills. Actually, I am so stressful while writing an essay. I often go the writing center or ESOL to help me improve my essay, but I think this programs help me more than all of them because it give me all information, each word have many functions and give me many solutions to build up my vocabulary. I am exceedingly happy to study writing. Thank to Bonnie help me to exit my fearfulness. 

Sex Roles

In my opinion, both biology and culture are more important in shaping gender role. For example, according to “Hormones may also have an impact on certain differences in brain function, Jerre Levy of the University of Chicago has found differences in the way male and female brains are organized. In Levy’s view, men’s brains may give them an advantage in verbal skills. Men are therefore better at dealing with abstract concepts; women are more effective in picking up information from the surrounding environment about people, sounds, and so forth.” Moreover, following to Deborah Tannen, girls often plays small groups, and they spend a lot of time to talk, share, their stories to best friends. Girls feel close to each other. In the other hand, the boy tends to play with large groups, they often negotiate and try to be a leader (pp 4,5). Not only biology but also culture contribute the difference personalities between man and women. It shows the diversity characters between male and female.
