Education
must depend on environment, failures, being self confident and choosing a role
model for life although it is
misunderstood by the society from past to present inasmuch as it is thought that schools are the only place where people can learn
something important for their life and the information is acquired from just teachers. First of all,
students can learn knowledge by experiencing or observing. Thus, teachers must
allow them to learn by themselves. To exemplify, teachers can set forth a
problem to students. They do not tell them how it will be solved. Then,
students can learn about the problem by investigating from libraries or people
who have information about it. Secondly, students should be thought that making
mistakes is not an irreversible thing. To illustrate, when teachers give
students a task that they will do it for the first time, they can fail.
Nevertheless, making mistakes is usual since mistakes are steps that provide
them to become successful. When they do the same task again, they will do
better owing to their experiences. Thirdly, students should be guided to choose
a role model whom they will stimulate. For instance, teachers want students to
identify someone who is respectful and dedicated himself forthe sake of
other people in their life and want students to prepare a video about these
people thatthey chose by using their own voices. In this way, they will believe
in themselves because they express their ideas clearly. All in all, education
should be related to environment, open to mistakes and it should give students
to self-confidence and help them to choose a role model who will shape their
life.

FREE REFLECTION TASK III
In “7 Ways to Develop Good Habits in Language Learning”, a
blogger who is the writer of this article states the reasons of
developing good habits in introduction of paragraph and then how
we will be able to improve ourselves in learning a language. He explains the
effective ways of language learning. This article consists of seven
ways which are forming goals, physically assign a place for
studying, pacing yourself, making use of dead time, taking on a 30-day
challenge, improving your self-control and knowing yourself. There are some
points that I agree with the writer of this article published in a
blog since I believe that this article will guide me about what I
should pay attention to learning a language. First of all, I should determine
my goals and know myself. To illustrate, I can choose a goal that is specific
and achievable. Instead of thinking of learning a new language
immediately, I should limit myself, e.g., I want to learn basic
knowledge about language such as vocabularies used in the daily life
or sentences that provides me to communicate with a foreign. In this way, I am
not disappointed unless I dream like speaking new language
fluently. Additionally, I should know which method is the best for
my effective learning. Because of the fact that every people has a different
learning style, I should choose a effective learning style such as watching
foreign movies, vocabulary cards, listening foreign music or taking
notes. I shouldn’t compare myself with other people for they can
learn faster and easier than me. Comparing myself with other people
causes only frustration and disappointment. Secondly, I should choose a
appropriate place for studying and learn to use my time efficiently.
To exemplify, if I choose a place, I can focus on my task, however,
I can be careful about which there is nothing to distract my attention.
In addition to this, while I am going somewhere, I can value my time by
listening some short videos or music. I can prepare myself a
working plan and I should try to study in a planned way. In
conclusion, determining my goals, knowing myself, choosing a place for studying
and using time efficiently are issues that I have consensus on with writer of
the article. I believe that these suggestions will help everyone to
learn a language effectively.

FREE REFLECTION TASK II
A Freshman Year Guide to
Different Student Academic Expectations written by Naomi Rockler-Gladen
states that college life is thougher than high school because of several main reasons
that include managing time ,studying more,standing on your own feet about
financial issues.There are some points that I agree with the author of the
article.First of all , according to this article, college life is more
difficult because you have to study more if you want to get an academical
success and I think so,too.To exemplify, Teachers at the high school have been giving
you lecture notes and you could understand many things at lecture,but now you
must study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour in class .
Secondly, you must learn managing time . To illustrate , teachers tell you what
they will teach every week but at college you have to know what you
will learn at next lesson because they give you a syllabus and you are responsible
to know it.Thirdly, You are far away your family and you have to do some daily responsibilities
like chores . Additionally, you must learn to save money .In conclusion, That managing
time , studying more and standing on your own feet is important is that I have
consensus on with the author of the article.Apart from all these, this article
has many benefits that asist me over.The first advantage of article is that it
provides me to see difficulties that I will always meet at college life .The
second advantage is that it shows me how I will overcome these
difficulties.

states the changes that newcomers to
universities will be able to meet. The writer not only points out the changes
which are new environment and relationships, greater personal freedom, added
responsibility and changing relationships, but also the challenges which are
time management, academic performance, roommate conflict, long distance dating
relationships and body image. Besides, the writer gives some recommendations
for them. When I analyzed the article in terms of language, content and relevance to my life,
it has a really well-developed organization. First of all, the language of the
article was so easy that I only looked at dictionary for words a few times. It
was understandable and informative. I think that anyone doesn’t have a
difficulty in understanding it. The writer used description and exposition
techniques to explain problems and give recommendations. To exemplify, the
writer tells everything item by item while giving recommendations which are
being patient, connect with other students, getting involved, utilize resources
and caring for ourselves. Secondly, the content of the article is related to
college life, so I think that it is so relevant my daily life. To illustrate,
when I came to the university, I felt alone and I could not get used to the
city and university life. Somehow I overcame these challenges. Additionaly, I
believe that these challenges help me to stand on my own feet and to have friends
who are from different backgrounds and cultures. In conclusion, the language
and the content of the article were so easy to understand , and it is relevant
to our life completely.
