Break Though

Hi,
In this week we took about the “Break Though.” It’s really good topic. We learned a lot of sciences and arts things. We know more about different parts like wise there are some students study business and they know about that’s section and some of the know about fashion and they were told us more about that also there are a lot of student took about the engineering and took about a lot of them. Today in Amy’s class we did a lot of exciting presentation. Also, in Brandi’s class we did in class writing essay about source energy. This week we got so lots of knowledge that about the life and we know a lot of all part of the studies. Now, we are almost done and finish the book, and the book become more exciting to get more knowledge. I am enthusiastic to finish this book and I hope we do well in this semester. Also, the most interesting things the book of reading and writing has same chapters as in the listening and speaking book. Finally, we had fun in this week and I hope we get a do well tomorrow in the quiz of the giver.

Breakthroughs

During this week, we have been learning about the breakthroughs. There are many breakthroughs in the world especially in science. We have been talk about the technology of breakthroughs like internet, electric, telephone, solar energy and so on. Because of those were developed, our life become very convenient. For example, due to the fact that telephone and internet were invented, we are easier to communicate with other people. Even we travel the world, we still can contact with family or friends. Another example, after the electric invented, we have many entertainments like watch television or listen to the music and it makes our life more fun. The breakthrough can not only for science but also can be in our life. For example, when I was ten years old, my father was pass away; therefore, at that time, it was a breakthrough in my life. I had to learn many thing at like learned how to walk to school alone, how to make breakfast by myself, how to choose good books or television program. Those things used to my father did for me; therefore, sometimes breakthrough is a not bad thing and it can let us learn more things that we may not know before.

I think it's really great enough to be .....

Hey guys,
I hope you all have enjoyed your break.
Welcome back to our interesting blog.

I’m so enthusiastic about the topic of this week which is breakthrough because it’s talking about things that we use in our daily life, but we don’t think how the life was before those things were created. As Juan talked about the internet, I thought about it, and I found that I really can’t live without the internet even for a short time.
My friend Laureat talked and imagined strange things about the television, but I think it might really happen one day. I said this because of something I saw before few months. In the news, they showed a product that was made in Japan. This product is a television, but it’s not a regular television. This television is the strangest thing I have ever seen in my life. In this television, two people can watch different channels in the same time. I was shocked when I saw that television. Two people were sitting in different corners of one room, and they were watching different channels. The cameraman was moving from corner to another corner, and I saw the screen while it was changing step by step. When you stop in the front of the television, you will see two channels in the same time. The right side shows a channel, half of it only, and the left side shows the other channel, also half of it only. Why you will see only have a channel?? That is because you have to stand from specific angle to see the channel in the whole screen.

In conclusion, this is a great thing I have seen, and a like to share it with all of you.

Internet: a breakthrough of this era.

Have you asked how would be our world without Internet? Maybe if you talk with an old person he/she would probably say you that 40 years ago nobody needed Internet to develop their lives, and they probably don’t understand why people say now “I can’t live without internet”.

In my opinion, I understand the thoughts of the last generation when they say that, and there is only one reason: they didn’t grow up with the computers and the internet like we did. Definitely, I’m a person who can’t live without Internet, that’s why I consider this tool the most important breakthrough in this era. My family is so far away right now, that I would not know of them like I do without Internet. I’m studying here and all of them are in Peru, 10 miles far away, but the internet makes me feel like they are close to me. It’s amazing how I can read about what is happening in my country while I’m living here without the need of a newspaper, magazine or a TV channel from Peru. I only need a computer and Internet, that’s it.

On the other hand, it’s also incredible, how internet makes our lives much easier. You can buy or sell whatever you want from internet. If you want to know how to get some place in a particular city, in the internet you can find the maps and the shortest way to get it. If you want to talk with your friends from other countries you can chat with them without spending a lot of money calling them by phone. Even in business, internet allows the companies to be in constant contact with their costumers and suppliers by email or trough a web page. Really, it is incredible how the internet have change our type of life.

What do you think?

coming soon...... My breakthrough.....

hi, how is everybody doing ? I hope you all enjoyed spring break......
............................................................................................................................................

The theme of this week is very outstanding.. I felt like studying something at least has a relationship with my major. I have been motivated to finish studying English, and start university life. ''Breakthrough'' it a little word to describe the huge development the world is living from cooking to sciences. Wherever you look, you find breakthrough. I liked what my friend Lauret talked about. He imagined new TV through which we cam smell or in general we can feel.. it's interesting idea for me. Since my major is Electrical Engineering; in addition, I'm specializing in Electronic, I would like to be the one who invent this TV. If that happened, Laruet, I will give you that TV as a gift because you are the one who gave me the idea :-)

When I read about famous people who invented many stuff people use around the world, I feel jealous and enthusiastic. Jealous because I want to be like one of them; one the other hand, I feel enthusiast due to the fact that I'm looking forward to starting my major and being totally immersion in the field at which they worked.

I hope this topic has motivated all of my friends to work harder, so we can reunion in 10 years, and each one of us has invented or become innovator in his field....

after springBREAK, BREAKthrough

Hello everybody,

This week, I appreciate very much our topic " Breakthrough".
Scientists have developped a lot of new technology such as cell phone, camera, Tv. I am wondering if they will make something up more interesting than tv that we have already seen right now. I am eager to see if the scientists could make a new TV and people can smell something from Tv. For instance, By watching TV people can smell the food or perfum. Is it possible or not in future.?

In conlusion, this topic "Breakthrough" allows me to think about the choice, motivation and decision to push the consumers to buy the new item on the market. Some consumers buy the product because it’s easy to understand how much their life might be better if they use it (especially if someone else has told them about his life-altering experience with the item). Others buy the product because it is new, they don't care the price. For these conceptions of buyers, scientists don't give up to improve their skills in order to make something up on the market place.

working

As i study this chapter, i think about the my country's management system. i think that korea's company is a more similar to japan than to america. Although many companies followed japanies company, now some korean companies teach to japanies companies how to lead the company. for example, samsung is a best company in korea. samsung have overcame sony. In part of semiconductor, samsung is the one of the most profitable companies. As a result, the owner of sony company said, " we should learn samsung." likewaise samsung, many good companies atrract our.
The first reason of the studying in maryland is a working a good company. when we choose a company, Making a profit is a important factor. But most important thing is how the company provide good working environment. Good working enviornment help you to improve your ablilty.

WHICH ONE IS THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE - LEADERSHIP.

This week, I am excited to hear this topic which is my field in interest. A lot of researchers have tried to describe, explain this question " WHICH ONE IS THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE - LEADERSHIP." Some says that leader must follow the Douglas Mc Gregor's theorie which is "X", others have suggested following the theorie "Y" of Douglas Mc Gregor. Another method of management, leader should be flexible and also strong implementing a decision. Another method of management, leader must follow the system M.P.Entrepreneur, Integrity, and we learned another method " Ringi", other one is a top down for major decision. So, everyone has a definition of management but applying your definition is a big deal.
In conclusion, the best way to manage is very difficult to explain, it depends on someone which one is the best for him because when you are leader, you find out a million of problems that you have never resolve, known before. After that, you learn, analyse, make a right decision.
There is proverb from my country" it's better to manage 1000 cows than manage 10 people.
I was a manager for tree different projects. I had hard times managing my human ressorces.
That's way I am eager to study at the university of Maryland in order to enhance my management skills.

@^Working^@

hi, guys

This week is really good but I think its heavy week maybe because we have spring break next week. We are in the middle of the book in chapter 7. The title of this chapter is WORKING. We read a story about how can you manage effectively, what is the different between Japanese business management and American business management. Also, we discuss on group and we know more about other culture and how the manage the business and how they manage like Japanese and American. Also, in Amy’s class we talk about same topic. Everyday we have a group discussion and listening about WORKING. In addition, we took really new academic words and they are so difficult. Also, Kim give us exercise in the internet and there are a lot of question we did it and we will discuses about it tomorrow in the class on group. We did a class discussion with Kim and we summary the story we read it in the book. On Tuesday, we write what we concluded about the story. And on Wednesday, we do in class writing about the different between Japanese and American system on manage business. That is what we have been doing in this week and tomorrow we have quiz in the Amy’s class also about WORKING.

working

This week was a really interesting week for me and for my friend. For me it was the vision to my future because we were talking about working and what is the best job?. Also I had the opportunity to share the experience with my friends who had worked or who are working know. for example I had a really great dissection with jenfer and luriat.it was fun to know haw those people first felt when they work and how the get thorough the working experience, but what really surprised me is the test that we did two days ago which allowed us to know what is the best position or job for us. Although we really missed or teacher Brandi this week, we enjoyed our grammar lesson, which was about geraned and infinitive. Our reading this week was different than every week because it was actually about working. We also learn a lot about management styles from our writing book which was bout the different between US and japans style of management. In addition we read about how us manger take decision different than Japanese mangers. While US mangers like to work individually and take their decisions to fast, japans like to work as group on taking decision and like to do it with patient. In the end I would like to say that this week the subject was really exciting.

dream

I like to dream unfortunately I don’t have dream a lot when I sleep. In here, I would like to share my culture, Taiwan, about dream. Old people believe the meaning of the dream. For example, when we dream that our teeth are falling down, it means our parent our relative like aunt or uncle will have bad thing happen in the future one week. The bad things are like get car accident, something make them go to hospital and so on. However, young people don’t believe it. But when I have this kind of dream, I always tell my parent. Even though I don’t believe it, I just want to let them know I dream about that. Then they will very careful in the future one week. In fact, they have never had bed things happen when I dream that. That’s why I have never believed the meaning in the dream. No matter good dream or bad dream, I like to dream when I sleep; because sometimes I dream something that will never happen in the true life. It is very interesting. Therefore, I hope I dream everyday.

Dreams interpretation

Before I start to write my response I have to tell all of you that I’ve been reading your opinions and I’ve enjoyed them a lot.

In this week we have been talking about the mind which is a topic I enjoy talking about. On Monday and Tuesday we were talking about dreams and I have a particular story that I want to share with you. Remember I told you one month ago in Amy’s class that I tried bungee jumping the last year? Well a few weeks ago, I dreamed I was with some friends in a bridge located in my country and we were planning to do bungee jumping again by our self’s, without instructors which is a crazy stunt. In my dream, when I jumped out of the bridge the rope broke and when I realized that, I woke up. I don’t remember if I died or what exactly happened to me, the only thing I remember is that I was so frightened when I woke up.

The funniest of this story is that on Tuesday, Amy gave us a web page called “The dream Dictionary” (http://predictions.astrology.com/dd/) where you can find a kind of interpretation of a particular dream. You type a word that represents the main idea of your dream and the web page show you an interpretation of your dream. However, just for curious I went to the page and I typed the word “bridge” and this was the result or the interpretation that the web showed me: “Bridges are interesting symbols in relationships. We often speak of "crossing" and "burning" bridges as representations of the opportunities and challenges of life.” Actually I don’t Know what the interpretation of this web are connected with my dream. But I have a question for all of you: Do you believe in dreams interpretations? Do you think that dreams are connected with reality?

The Mind

This week we had studied every enjoyable topic; it was about the mind. Although we read about very interesting topics in last chapters, this chapter was amazing. First we learn about a really mysterious part of our body. Secondly we faced a lot of new words during our reading such as extraordinary, conscience, adequately and exclusive. Also we read about the memory and haw some people have strong memory than others. We learned the best way to have strong memory. Through our reading about the mind we used Avery helpful and important strategy which was underlining and marginal glossing. On this strategy we underline the main points, new words, and important names. Also on this strategy showed us how to write and summarize the mine ideas on the margins to help us to remember them. On the other hand we had learned a lot of new and interesting topic on our writing book about the mind. We learned how to analyze level of generality which was divided to two tips, the first one is top down organization and the other is divided organization. Both were useful, I liked the first one more. Finally we went to the lab were we did some research and tested our mind. The results were really great.
