How can I use my knowledge of language learning to contribute to my community??

Learning styles that I can use my knowledge of languages as contributing are~~~~
1) Spend the time!
2) Listen and read every day!
3) Focus on words and phrases!
4) Take responsibility for your own learning!
5) Relax and enjoy yourself!


Why should I learn a language?
There are many reasons to learn foreign languages, because the foreign languages are needed from working, romance, travel and communication.

Which languages should we learn?
Before we learn, we have to decide what language is the most useful for us. For example, we can’t just learn Chinese, when we are going to Japanese University.

What do I need to study languages??
There are wide range of materials and tools that are available, such as dictionaries, grammar books, online lessons, mp3 player, languages courses and translator.



How can I use my knowledge of language learning to contribute to my community??

I can use my knowledge of language learning to contribute to my community by teaching them and make them understand about the uses of languages and how easy we can learn. However, we had to understand and mastered the language before we teach them professionally. We can make them learn easily by online learning, reading books, watch educational videos, self-assessment, worksheets and story reading. Lets motivate them and us.

All About Blooms

Knowledge

I think Ponyboy has qualities to be a hero in this book for different reasons. First, he stands by his friends through the good and the bad. And also, he could change them into good from bad. For example, when Johnny killed one of the Socs, although Johnny killed because of Ponyboy, Ponyboy stayed all the way with Johnny until he dies in the end. Secondly, he saved the kids from burning church, although the kids were the strangers who don't have any relationships with. Third, when he went to the rumble between Socs and Greasers, he did his best to win, even though he wasn't in a really good condition.

In these cases, he showed his loyalty to his friends, also heroic side to the kids and mostly his friendship with Johnny.

Comprehension

Day 1 - Pony jumped by the Socs after he watched movie
Day 2- Pony, Johnny and Dally met two socs girls and became closer.
Day 3- Ponyboy went home late, Dally hit him, The Socs attacked Pony and Johnny and Johnny stabbed one of the Socs.
They ran away to the church with gun and money from Dally.
Day 4- Stayed in church
Day 5- Stayed in church
Day 6- Stayed in Church
Day 7-8: Stayed in Church
Day 9 - The greasers saved the kids from burning church and they got hurt so badly.
Day 10 - Johnny, Pony and Dally stayed at hospital and The gangs came to the hospital
Day 11- Johnny Died and Dally dies too.

Application

If I were in the situation of Ponyboy was getting drowned, I would just pulled apart people from fight and bully. That could work actually, because its still better than just going to the jail, also, we can just stop it easily by talking.

Analysis-

Ponyboy - He is the main character of this story and the youngest of the greasers with the age of 14. Because, his parents have died in a car accident, he lives with his brothers, Darry and Soda. He loves Sodapop but he doesn’t really get along with his oldest brother, Darry.

He is kind, friendly with loyalty. He had major problems such as saving the kids and got hit by Darry.

Synthesis

The Greasers' life
The Gangs
The Street Boys

Evaluation

I would like to spend a day with Sodapop, because he always makes people smile by him. And also, he is humorous. I just like to smile all day long with funny stories going between Sodapop and I.

School Term 3 Break

The holiday from our school was quite short, but because it was just a term break, I had to follow and understand with it. However, for me, I didn’t really enjoy the break, because there were so many home works from all kinds of subjects. There were lots of projects too. The definition of holiday for me is a day of festivity with no works to do. But due to this break, I felt that my definition of holiday was totally wrong. Although I had to do many projects, I decided to meet up with all the Korean boys from our school, SWA and exercise together, which were soccer, basketball, badminton, table tennis and swimming to be closer with them. That day was the only holiday for me during this break. I was really exhausting from the homework during this holiday!! I need a REAL holiday that is similar with my definition.
