According to those session, I like happiness, language learning, male and female communication, and looking for a job.
For happiness, we had some readings and speaking, and the most important is that we learned how to do critical thinking, and how to do summary for the reseach. It was very useful for our research paper project. The language learning sesstion, we had some listening and reading. According to this session, we knew how to become a good language learner, and how to study the second language. It was really helpful for me. Male and Female is the most interesting session. It is close to our life, all people face this problem. Because I have interest on this topic, I can learn more and fast. Looking for a job is a short session, but I think it is very useful for our future. If people plan to stay here after graduating, they must find a job. We should know how to find a job and how to apply for a job. It is a kind of knowledge and it can affect your success.
For some reasons, I do not like super skyscrapers, and discrimination. I am not interested in these tipic. Super skyscrapers session is not essential in this level, because we are not a engineering student. Also, for discrimination, we just watched a vedio, and I learn nothing through this topic, so I think this topic is not very good.

About Testbook Project
To be honest.. I do not like the topic of the project Because I am not interested in marketing. But, according to this project, I learned a lot.
I think this project is essential for me because I can learn how to do when I am in university. As we know, when we go to the university, we need to read a lot of imformation. If we do not know what is a good way to read and study them, we will in trouble....I learned from lots of my friends, and they had a bad time when they before exam because they needed to read a lot, especially for people who study in business major.
However, the project only occures 5% of final mark, but we write a lot for it. I do not think it is a useful exam, and it is not essential....the exam makes me awful...I think we just need the short answer question, essay question is too much.....also it brings huge work to teacher...
In all, this is a good experience for project, and we can learn something we can use in the future, and I think all of us did our best in the exam!

Feedback of Research Paper
Actually, this was a wonderful experience for research paper, although I had a hard time to write it. When I finished it, I was so proud and satisfied...It was difficult to describe my feeling when I saw my final draft.... It is like my own child.
From beginning, thinking a topic, collecting information, reading them, beginning writing, all these made me hard but also happy. Second draft, third draft...and even final draft made me crazy....grammar mistakes, little format mistake also made me awful...on the other hand, I learned a lot through the research paper. generally, I learned how can I write a research paper, and what is research paper. also, my writing improved a lot. I knew what is the format for a research paper. Before I thought research paper is like our normal writing, but I am wrong. It requires strict format, and each source should reference clearly. I will never forget this experience. I think it is useful for me because when I go to university, lots of research paper need to be written.
When I prepare for presentation of research paper, I had a hard time to choose information. every part connect together, I can not ignore any one of them, but time is limited. finally, I decided to just explain the most important information for each part, and give some examples. I will practice, practice and practice ! I hope tomorrow I can give classmates a great presentation!

Population
Accordiong to the video and reading of population, I learn that population growth create huge problems to our society and our live.
Overpopulation make lack of space. For example, people do not have place to live, and we do not have enough space for argriculture. Moreover, lack of food. limited resourse increase requirement pressure. As a result, in some developing countries, food price will be increased~~~Also, overpopulation create environmental problems, such as, loss of species, soil shrink, and polution. More and more new births order more resourses, and when they grow up, they also require more job....
Aging of population is another huge problem. In some rich countries, the growth of new births are almost zero! Few young people can not support huge retirement! Consequently, economy will derease by not enough young people.
In my opinion, I am not optimistic about the future in term of population. This is so complex question. Sometimes, it depends on individuals. We can control one family only can have 1 or 2 children, but we can not limit each family must have at least 1 child....Also, sometimes, we do not have chiose. Lack of education for women make them do not know how to make choise about their children. I think government should limit their law, and increase education. This issue need whole world connect together to against! Unfortunately, it is difficult to do that because developed countries can not really help developing countries, may be because of "country selfish"

About the lecture
This morning, we had a great lecture about "love" which was given by Judith CDastle. She is a social psychologist. She tried to tell us what is love, and how to describe love.
According to her lecture, love is too big to difine it, but we can learn by different behavior. She introduced 4 types of love. The first one is "Philia" which means friendship. This word come from Greek. and also there are 2 types of friendship: forme heart and temporary. Heart friends do not depend on time and place, and even they are in different place, they will talk a lots when they meet each other. The temporary friend may have some situation with you for a few years, such as classmates, and neighbours.
The second types of love is "Romance". When we fall in love with someone, we get attachment and passion for another. Romance is emotional and it is difficult to control by ourself. We can not choose which person we should fall in love with. It is a kind of crazy love.
The third types of love is "Agape". This love we usually give to strangers. For example, you may help people to open the door, or you can give some penny to poor people...ect. All these things are "Agape"
The last one is "Eros". It is the passion for your own life and it is like your habby. even you fall in love with someone, you also need to keep your interests.
I think this lecture was very interesting, and give me lots of idea about love. Let me know how to love and how to show love. The speaker was very funny and she got me involve in this lecture. I was very enjoy in the lecture.

Family violence!
Unfortunately, I have to chance my research paper topic because only few books in the library and most of them are in process. I can not find enough information both in the library and internet. Therefore, I change my second topic " The Family Violence".
I borrow some books today, so I do not have time to finish it right now, but for this topic, I want to focus on the family violence on children. " why it happened", "different types of violence" such as, physical, mental, and sexual......"family violence on some unique countries", "how to deal with it"~~~
I think this is a very serious topic, I will read book in few days in order to get more information and idea!

About my research paper topic
When teacher told us to think about the research paper topic, I felt confuce and no idea.
Now, I just have two ideas and I want to share with you.
!
Now, I just have two ideas and I want to share with you.
!
First, I am interested in SARS which is a very serious disease and happend in china in 2004. My hometown had huge effects by this disease. We could not have normal life during that period. We could not go to school, and people did not go outside because they were afraid of being infected......Everyone scared. Everyday, several people died by that disease, and the amount of people who were infected increased sharply.....Some of hosipital were isolated and lots of doctors died by disease......I want to research this topic because I am fond of learning how it spread and what kind of disease it is and how to aviod it.....also how it effects our society and whole world.
The second topic which I want to research is family violence. This is a heavy topic but it happened close to our life. Almost all countries have this problem, it happened on children and women. It has negative effects on victims especially children. Some of them may had violent personalities when they were young, and some of them may die.....In fact, not all victims know how to protect themself, and they have no choice with family violence. They need help.....
For this topic, I really want to know some different cases and how serious this problem.... I also want everyone can focus on this problem.....It is not a small problem, and it may happened beside you!
