Discussion Board 3(Ethnic qhettos)

Author: George Xing
Date: January 26th, 2011
Subject: (Should people who do not speak English be granted (given) Australian citizenship?)

I will say, people who do not speak English should be granted Australian citizenship.

Australia welcomes all world's people come to travel and join, it is Australia's policy.
Australia has plenty of natrual resources, which attract people to immigrant, attract companies to invest. People who is able to contribute to Australian economy,cultrue,politician and other parts should not be rejected just because of cannot speak English. (Non-English speaking people who has specific talent in different area)
If the country refuses these talented people as a reason of they don't speak English, that may make Australia lose lots of talented people which may result in it's economy, technology and GDP all parts of the country, and it's obey the country's policy.

Discussion Board 2(Money talks)

Author: George Xing
Date: January, 26th 2011
Subject:Money talks( Do You think that money really does talk?)

I belive that money readlly does talk. Throughout the history, reasons why wars fought time to time, is because of money! The Irap and Iran war fought 8 years, nobody wons, but America. America wanted to control the price of oil to make the oil price increase so that to ensure US dollars dominant power in earth ,that's why Irap and Iran was both supported by America and trapped in an endless war.
Money cannot talk by itself, but sometimes, speechless does not mean cannot talk.
We've experienced or viewed the crural battle of money, ' financial crisis', hundreds of millions of factories, private companies, banks are broken. Millions of people lose their jobs and homes. It's a financial world war.

Money does talk.

Discussion Board 1(English Political or Neutrual)

Author: George Xing
Posted Date:Januray 26, 2011
Subject: English Political or Neutrual

I believe English is political, one language becomes dominant is mainly because of it's economic, military, cultrual power, However, to say a dominant language will getting powerful and stronger as more and more people going to speak or evaluated by itself is unacceptable. In history, Spanish was once a dominant power in 16th-17th century, it had colonies all over the world, but Spanish did not maintian it's world language because its military loss. So, the most important point is the power of the dominant country. How long can the dominant country's language last is depend on it's power. It is not an inevitable trend.

Strategists(Week4)

I have to say, the reading exam and wrting exam I feel challenging!
My weak point is wrting.

So, in the last week, I'll spend more time on my critical response essay and two critical article's reading
Because the two reading passages are the same article with wrting, that means, If I cannot catch the point in reading comprehension, I may probably fail in writing.

To make sure ' one rock with two birds' I'm gonna exercies the wiki space's 4 reading exercise, make sure I have plenty of preparetions for the coming exam. Every two criticle articles I'll spend 30 minutes each on reading and finishing questions, then I'll spend 30minutes compare the two articles, imagine the structure of response essay.

Another important part is oral presentation, well, I like doing presentation. So, under preparations, I believe that I can handle this and get a high mark.

Best wishes for all my classmates, Hope all of us can pass the exam!!!

Reflections(Week3)

I have to say the most thing I've done on the third week is writing!!!!!!!!!!

Almost everyday, we have inclass writing exercies, to improve our critical response skill, and every nights' homework are related to this.

Guess my critical respons skills are promoted, but I still have to say, my grammer, always feel tough to deal with!!!

I'm getting used to looking for author's argument and argue on this.

On the end of week 3, the most challenging stuff is coming!!! Comaring to articels and write criticle response

I'm gonna do more exercies on it, find the weak point, language, tongue..................

Reflections(Week2)

Week 2 is much hard and busy than the first ones.

Timetable still not changed, get up at 7:00am, have lunch at 10:30am, thanks god!!!

I'm a bit tired of this lifstyle, class ended early and I feel tired and have no passion to do anything.

Hope the third week I can cheer up, be energetic.

Well, now let's talk about the study effects.

My speaking promotes a bit, coz we  talk in English all the time.

I spent lots of time with friends, some of them are not Chinese, so we always speak in English. Although theres some meaning or word hard to say in English, it's all right.
At least I feel like the barrier of communication is getting weaker, maybe sometime later, the barrier will disappear!

I practiced listening this week coz after this Tuesday's listening exercise, i realize i need more progress on listening.   Wiki's Ted is still difficult for me, I have to listen at least 3 times to catch the most information.
I'll try harder, maybe 2 times to handle it out!

Tomorrow will be a writing test, it's my weak part, best wishes for tomorrow's exam
