Reflection 2
This is the second meeting in this semester. Different from the first one, this time I have all my four annotations in the blog although they are not fully complete and organized. The main point of this meeting is focusing on the midterm exam paper. The original one which we have done in few months ago is really different from the revised version. This time, we have the comments from all the classmates in this class which sums total eleven. We need to adopt members’ comments and try to revise our article. However, this is really difficult for one person to make a big modification of his writing style which has been rooted in our inner patterns of grammatical system. Sometimes we know the problems of our own; nevertheless to accept the comments is one thing, to modify is another. Indeed, it is really difficult to modify the writing problems, but I will try my best to pay more attention to the blind points in the process of writing.
The main problem in my writing is the incoherence of each paragraph. The use of the conjunction words in the articles is really important. The way to connect your ideas is by using the conjunctions to make the whole article more fluent and organized. After the discussing with teacher and classmates, I learned some ideas and problems in my writing and also got the information of how to write my article well.
In the next part, I want to talk about my topic of the final paper. It’s been a long time since the first reflection had been posted. I remember that I have decided to make research about the relationship between the social values and the culture of cosmetic surgery. However, after I decide to choose this topic, I found that it is really difficult to find the research paper relate to the topic of the relationship between cosmetic surgery and self-image. Indeed I have the difficulty in getting the information. However, after surfing the Internet for a long time, I finally find a useful website that provides me with lots of articles that are helpful for me to go further to my study.
After getting the information I want and finishing the four annotations, the most difficult thing is to connect all the articles you have written into a large and coherent paper. In the process of writing, I have met the problem in connecting the four annotations together. Actually every article stands for different points and ideas. You must organize your whole paper into the coherent one. One of the ways to make essay more coherent is by using the transitional and conjunctional words well. This problem has been raised as my serious blind point before. This time, I pay more attention to this part when revising the draft and try to delete some inappropriate paragraphs which may make the audiences have difficulty in understanding. It really takes time in doing this long essay; however, once you finish it, you may feel a sense of accomplishment and feel much relieved.

Book Review group essay
This semester we have learned lots of writing skills and the steps of how to write an essay from the book “Steps to Writing Well” written by Jean Wyrick. This book guides us to write a variety of essays by following the steps from the basic elements to the advanced skills which provides us an elementary direction to the world of writing. In the following, we would make a brief introduction of this book
When composing works, we need to pay attention to several problems. Firstly, discover our audience is important. We have to change our style of writing and the form of composing our works so as to meet different readers request. Remember to organize our writings with clear thesis statements; we should not bore them with confusion, and disorder. Thus, to interest the readers with a sexy topic is really important. Also, choose to describe things in objective or subjective way. Different writing categories such as argumentations and descriptions have different writing methods. Secondly, try to convince the readers with abundant evidences to support our ideas. Besides, we can make our essays vivid by using sensory details. Thirdly, after finishing writing the articles, we have to revise them. Think of the questions such as whether the topics are too broad or too narrow, does specific ideas support our viewpoint and so on. Grammar, punctuation, word choice and usage are also what we should pay attention to. In addition, we could also ask someone else to look over our works, because with their help, we could find out more faults that we have not realized. Last but not the least, we have to write down the citation in a proper format.
All of these writing skills are contained in the book and really offers us a clear and complete guideline to writing well. Besides the brief introduction of this book, the following are some of the favorite chapters we think of as the most important and impress us the most.
To begin with, we discussed about which chapter is our favorite one. Most of us thought that Chapter 18 “Writing about Film” is the most impressive and interesting chapter. Sophia’s group introduced about how to analyze a film, and the clips they chose made their report become more abundant. We also connected this chapter with Jerome’s film class and Stewart’s movie discussion class. Then, we turned to regard some important writing skills when we are going to organize an essay. Recognizing your purpose and choosing the topic carefully should be consider in the first place. Knowing who the readers are, trying to interest and convince them with your unique viewpoints and feelings are significant. In addition, providing specific examples to support your ideas, building the arguments and giving out your position are necessary, too. In chapter 10, using appropriate tone and seeing the opposite points of view could help us to fight against those people who have opposite opinions.
Afterwards, the problems we should avoid became our discussing topic. In chapter 20 and 21, the usage of grammar and punctuation are pointed out. The order of time and space and the transitional words between each paragraph are also needed to be considered. Besides, we learned how to put the source and the author’s name in a correct form in chapter 14. The citation made the reference we used clearly. When we are going to write an article, remember to use the concise words and keep asking “why”. It can help us to express our meanings more concrete. At last, by the process of revising, our defects of writing can be improved. It is the only way to make our articles become better and smoothly.

The clips you chose connect with our Film class.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:16):
Run Lora Run
涵兒 說 (下午 10:16):
When we are talking about movies, I think I would come up with Jerome Class~
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:16):
stewart also talks movie in the oral training class
涵兒 說 (下午 10:17):
It's impressive to see the same clips in different classes!
柳丁 說 (下午 10:18):
And analyze the photography. Just like what we do on Jerome's class.
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:19):
but can't put more emphasis on movie
柳丁 說 (下午 10:20):
Yes. I think we can talk about some writing skill in the text book.
涵兒 說 (下午 10:21):
Our group is talking about "Writing about Literature".
柳丁 說 (下午 10:22):
There are some things have to do when we are going to write or analyze the literature work.
涵兒 說 (下午 10:22):
I think it also applies to our reading in English or American literature.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:23):
We need to know what the author wants to express first.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:23):
and provide our own interpretation.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:24):
Yes, and that's really important, too
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:24):
i think we can list some important writing skills

柳丁 說 (下午 10:25):
Ok.

涵兒 說 (下午 10:30):
To interest the readers~
涵兒 說 (下午 10:30):
with your own topic!
柳丁 說 (下午 10:30):
You need to make your readers be convinced.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:32):
Some experiences can support your perspective.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:33):
You are right
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:33):
so we have to divide our paper in many parts
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:34):
So we have to choose our subject carefully
柳丁 說 (下午 10:36):
Also, choose to describe things in objective or subjective way.
涵兒 說 (下午 10:37):
And supporting our ideas with some research.
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:37):
yeah
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:37):

柳丁 說 (下午 10:45):
Besides, we can make our essays vivid by using sensory details.
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:46):

霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:46):

柳丁 說 (下午 10:46):
Sight, hearing, smell
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:47):

柳丁 說 (下午 10:48):
Always asking "WHY" is also important
涵兒 說 (下午 10:48):
And with some logic in writting skills.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:48):
After finishing writing the articles, we have to revise them.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:48):
"Ask Why"
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:49):
can be related to the Accounting class XD
霈絃~ 說 (下午 10:49):
so that;s the chapter 5
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:50):
1. What is the most interesting part and persuasive point in your essay.

蘇菲亞 說 (下午 10:52):
All of the writing skill could be used in different types of writing
柳丁 說 (下午 10:53):
Yeah. You listed the points we should pay attention to.
涵兒 說 (下午 10:53):
After writing, we also need to revise~
涵兒 說 (下午 10:55):
Many problems in sentence clarity involve errors in grammar, punctuation, word choice and usage.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:55):
How to organize your essay effectively is significant.
柳丁 說 (下午 10:55):
Sometimes the readers might have trouble to understand.
涵兒 說 (下午 10:56):

涵兒 說 (下午 10:56):

涵兒 說 (下午 10:57):

柳丁 說 (下午 11:00):
That is talking about how to make our meanings clear in each sentences.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:00):

涵兒 說 (下午 11:00):
I think developing a concise style is also important~
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:00):
tha's true
柳丁 說 (下午 11:02):
It is necessary to build argument when we are writing.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:03):
Explore the possibilities and your opinions.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:04):
Anticipate opposing views.
涵兒 說 (下午 11:04):
The classmates' comments are also very helpful~
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:05):
In chapter 10 for example, when writing an argumentation esay, we have to use "appropriate tone"
柳丁 說 (下午 11:05):
Just like what Claire and I do. We have different standpoint toward abortion.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:05):
yeah
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:05):
yeah
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:06):
different people can find out one another's weak point
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:06):
they could offer us some precious opinion
涵兒 說 (下午 11:07):
Yup~
柳丁 說 (下午 11:07):
And we also have to fight with each other to strengthen our viewpoint.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:09):
that;s right
涵兒 說 (下午 11:09):
Others' pointview can complement our views.
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:09):

蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:11):
I would so much like to hit my room mates
涵兒 說 (下午 11:11):

蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:11):
new concept
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:12):
YEAH
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:12):
i agree with it
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:12):
seeing the opposite point of views, you can find ways to "fight" back people that's in different position
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:13):
and other people will also give you advice
柳丁 說 (下午 11:13):
Yeah.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:14):

In Chapter 21,also, talks of the importance of using punctuation
涵兒 說 (下午 11:20):

蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:21):
that's also the problems we should avoid
涵兒 說 (下午 11:21):
It does help~
柳丁 說 (下午 11:22):
Yes. It is the basic problems we should pay attention to.
涵兒 說 (下午 11:22):
But after getting lots of information in writing skills, I think when I start to write something, I still lose some points.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:24):
It is hard to achieve all the points, so we have to learn and revise.
涵兒 說 (下午 11:24):
Revising is important
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:26):
so we need to overcome these obstacles
柳丁 說 (下午 11:27):
The order of time and space the transitional words are needed to be consider. (Chapter 3)
柳丁 說 (下午 11:28):
Repetition of key words~

柳丁 說 (下午 11:47):
I usually ignored the citation in the past, too.

So shall we start to organize our conversation
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:53):
ok
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:53):
First of all, we have to discover our writing. We have to change our style of writing and the form of composing our works so as to meet different readers request.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:54):
Organize our writings with clear thesis statement, and remenber do not be vague in the writing.
涵兒 說 (下午 11:55):
We can make our paper better by revising.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:55):
Pay attention to our writings by using precise words and punctuation.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:55):
Avoid grammar and puntuation problems.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:55):
Do not confuse the readers.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:56):
Class discussion is also important. We can talk with our friends about our topics.
蘇菲亞 說 (下午 11:56):
Everyone of us may point out the strong and weak point of our works.
柳丁 說 (下午 11:57):
Organize each paragraph logically. Make the argument and your interpretation clearly.
霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:57):

霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:57):

霈絃~ 說 (下午 11:58):

I think the book gives me a useful skills about writing; And I think all of the parts are essential for me to develop the issue. Different parts focus on different skills.
蘇菲亞 說 (上午 12:02):
Later on could we compose our 500 words of book review by using some of the sentences in our conversation
蘇菲亞 說 (上午 12:02):
Or shall we write the entire one with different styles and ways
霈絃~ 說 (上午 12:02):
so do we need to distribute these jobs
涵兒 說 (上午 12:03):
Maybe it works.
霈絃~ 說 (上午 12:04):
or we need to find someone to puzzle our discussion up
柳丁 說 (上午 12:06):
I do not know what the teacher wants
霈絃~ 說 (上午 12:06):

Or we could compose it with the dialogue over here
霈絃~ 說 (上午 12:12):

蘇菲亞 說 (上午 12:12):
I don't think it is a good idea to separate one article into four parts
涵兒 說 (上午 12:13):

The topic of this clip from youtube mainly focused on how to do with self-esteem and its relationship to our feeling about how we look -our general appearances.
The author also agrees that beauty really does matter. In fact, we are living in an ideal world that we would just accept for the way that we are completely unnatural. Therefore, we don’t need to lie to ourselves that the first impression people have of us doesn’t matter at all.
In fact, most people have consciousness that the first impression we leave in other people’s mind is really important. It is a realistic world which beauty and material enjoyment dominated all. The way we look and present out decide what kind of person we are, and sometimes we would be labeled by the definition people gave to us. Therefore, in order to be the focus of the attention and leave a good impression in the public, a better appearance is definitely under the consideration.

However, the author is not telling us that a better appearance triumphs all. She is not persuading people to pursue the ultimate beauty or magnifying the importance of appearance. Instead, we should be at least conscious of some basis when presenting out in front of the public. First, the general cleanness and the smiles are the basic principles we should learn. The freshness and cleanness of a person would be the bonuses and may leave a good impression on people.
Second, an appropriate dressing is also significant. It doesn’t mean that the glamorous clothes are the best choices. Instead, the clothes should complement your body shape and balance in harmony. Moreover, a good dressing can show you personal style and personality, but be care that- don’t over do it. And don’t fall into the fashion victims.
