Summary/Paraphrase Practice

Cafazzo, D. (2009, March 27th). Baby sign: parents can communicate with babies by teaching them sign language. The Wenatchee World. Retrieved March 29th, 2009 from http://wenatcheeworld.com/article/20090327/FAM/703279984/0/ARTS12?Baby-sign--Parents-can-communicate-early-with-babies-by-teaching-them-sign-language.

This article talks about the sign of babis which they can us to communicate with their parents. Cafazzo stated that by teaching the babies sign languages, the babies can show their parents what they want by signs when they can not speak. And Bellingham educator who helped pioneer the use of sign language with hearing babies two decades ago. Cafazzo also claimed How children who are too young to speak learn to sign ( Topic 4). After reading this article, if I have a child, I wil try to teach them baby sign. Baby signs can not only help me to understand my babies bu also make contribution to babies` future.

Sources

I list my first reference as follow:

Eadie, T. & Morley, R. (2003) ‘Crime, Justice and Punishment’ in Baldock, J. et al (eds) Social Policy (3 rd edn.) Oxford: Oxford University Press.

They pointed the characteristics of the underaged boys. These characteristics are also the the reason why juvenile delinquency is getting more and more popular among young men. It is helpful for me, because in my research I will talk about two trends of juvenile deliquency, and being a male phenomenon is a trend at the right time. This resource can help me to explain why and make it easily understand for readers.

Harvest Season

At the begining of this semester, my level evelated a lot from intermediate section 5 to advanced section 3. I felt so stressful to study with you guys.

I am so lucky that I can meet you guys, who are very friendly and warmhearted. I felt my English improved a lot, especially vacablories. I do not know how to deascribe this kind of progress. You know, sometimes I complained with others that I couldn`t feel any achievement with my English but degeneracy. My father once told me that advancement is always invisible. Even though you can not find it really exsist. As a result, before I wrote this journal, I think over what I got this semester then I found I really got a great many intangible property, maybe just myself can feel it. I am so sorry that I can not share it with you, my dear friends.

I will transfer to PCC next semester. There is no language study any more, and I will go to university classes directly. I do feel scrared if I can not follow them then I couldn`t pass them. I feel very stressful. I have no choice but moving on so that I prefer to face all challenges with smiles. I will take another languge course during the summer vacation. Hope I can make a big progress, even though that is impossible... Anyway, good luck with you and me!

This is a harvest season. Just look back carefully, you may find every step is full of meaningful progress, no matter it is big or small ... Bravely go ahead, and do not be afraid of future challenges....

Busy world

There are 24 countries and variety kinds of views in the the film "Baraka", which means Blessing", but the one impress me most is the scene of the busy traffic and walkers.

The scene focus on a traffic cross. They speed up the tape then everything moves much more quickly than normal. You can clearly see how a day of this cross pass by. I feel very delighted to see the way they used to describe how busy a city is. Every moment there are a lot of people or cars waiting for their turn to go, and this group left but others comes, team by team, no ending....

One day, one corner, there are so many people passing by. Everyone and everything is busy which makes me think that I am just a small piece and I have to do something to show my existence, or I will be out. Probably you will feel I am so blue about this, not really. When I saw this scene, there is a thing just slipped my mind.

When I was in middle school, I failed in an important exam. I felt very gloomy and it seems that my sky was falling down... I sat in a corner of our campus. There were a great many students walking by hastily, like the view of this movie. Suddently I comprehended that I need to stand up. No matter how dismal I am, the world still moves and nothing will stop for me ... ...

After that, every time I see this kind of busy scene I will think of this. In fact, it always remind me to "stand up" all the time.....
