Journal 11: Research Question

      I used to hate research paper because I don't like to write articles. However, for the composition class, I have learned a lot of method about doing the research paper, which makes me feel better. The fist tool is wikipedia, which is not authorized, but a usefull tool to look for information you want to know a general concept about the aspect that you need. The second method is to search from the library website of CUSF, where I can find much information, such as books, articles from magazine, newspaper ,Internet,even government. Form that , a large amount of authorized material can be digged out. With the assistance , I decided to make a research about online distant education, which is a great complement for the insufficient educational resource.

Journal 10: Advice

When I am standing in the crossings, I want to talk to my friends and my family members to seek advice. They also love to do that, so I have been given much advice. Most of them gives me supports when I am wandering , and furthermore some of them gives me much help. However, I am not going to follow all those advice. Everyone has a balance in mind. When they choose the decision, they will judge by themselves fist. When I chose the middle school, my family members all suggested me to choose one school that needed lower score to admit. At that time, I was so eager to enter another high school that I made my decision and finally passed the exam. I also give much advice to my friends. I and my friends become more familiar through changing advice and opinion.

Journal 9: American Food

   When I first time arrived at America 6 months ago, there were two things I could not endure. The first one was American food. The second one is California public transportation. Every day I ate the hamburgers, bread, pizzas, raw vegetable salad. In addition to those, I drunk cola ,juice and coffee. It is difficult for me to find a soup here on the dinner table, compared with soup in my every dinner fare in China. I was crazed about that. At that time , I don't want to hear about "Let's go eat American", and I made a dream that I went to enjoy the Chinese food with my friends. There were SiChuan hotpot and fish hotpot. I was so aborbed in that dish in my dream. With staying longer in California, I was surprised to find many different kinds of food here except traditional American in my mentality. I have visited some specific restaurants, such as "Little sheep hotpot", Sichun Restaurant and Chinese DongBei Restaurant. And now I begin to like pizza and hamburger and salad, but it refers to fruit salad.
