Every international students has their own unique experience. because of their dual language ability, they would have lot of more different experience than natice american students. when they first time came to this campus, they must had some difficulties in a lot of situations. herer is the list:
1. got lost by looking the map
2. having trouble to ask other students for direction ( wrong pronounciation)
3. have some arguments because using wrong words
4. making some awkward moments by pick wrong word to express
5. have wrong drinks
6. being mocked by other because they don't know how to express themselves
7.too shy to make friends
those thing would make our international students have some struggle but they would be alright after couple months. those experience would be very precious when we think about it after a while.

In every culture, people would try to invent many skills and technologies to improve their life such as, transportation improvement, making a ideal stuff for their capital, and language invention.In " Writing and Recording Knowledge", author talked about the writing system in Pre-Columbian. The language style they used is just like graph, each thing had their own meaning and they did not have any word to represent verb. For instance, the graph of human can be different because of wearing , showing the power they have by what they holding, and showing the scene of execution. comparing to the writing system in chinese, it had some different part.
In Chinese culture, the writing system was changed a lot by the time. At the beginning of inventing language in ancient china, the writing system they used just like Pre-Columbian. Every word just looked like graph and did not have any word to present verb. They kept improving the writing system thus it not only started to have verb tobut also the outlook of the words becoming elegance. the writing system also create many adjactive words to make the letter decently.

if i am audience
In a speech or essay, every writer or speaker always wants to catch people's attention and persuades them to understand his or her view point. He or she will make some jokes or pictures to let people feel not bored. if i am one of the audience in a speech, i really do not want to get into a boring speaker's speech or reading an old fashion essay because i will probably fall asleep or throw that paper away. The writer or speaker that will catch my attention, he or she must knows put some joke or humor conversation in speech and use some easy to example to persuade me to believe his or her opinions. Giving complicate or hard-understanding example only makes me do not want to care or believe on it. Hence, i would like the speaker gives me some easy example to guide me to his or her main point.

In the high intensive game, player would get excited when they finished clutch play. Getting too hype to get technical fault and being the main reason to make his team lost the game, the athelete should be benched for his whole season. A good athelet should not being so excited that he or she make a important play becasue the game is not over yet. This poster and couple links show that Al Harrinton is the worst basketball player ever, he got the same reason of technical foul twice in six weeks and those technical fouls were the main reason to cause his team to loose the game. If i were the team coach or manager, i would bench him forever. Puting him on the court would not only let us have less chance to see other potential players but also have more possibility to loose in close game.

The reason why Travis Pastrana is a famous moto-x rider because he is creative and willing to do some crazy stuff. when he comes out a idea for moto-x trick, he would stuck in his back yard to try that trick till he makes it. even though he got a lot of injures, he still enthusiastic to do crazy tricks and make those tricks look decent. when people think he can't do the trick that he declare in the game, he will make it and win the champion to shut their mouth. no one believed that Travis pastrana can do double back flip in the clip and he did it and won the 2006 moto-x gold medal. Thus, his passion and personlity really made x game 2006 turn to a greatest game ever and his incridible stunt will be the highlight stunt forever.

project entry pt.3
This movie clip tells us that it still has some people do not want to go to troop camp. the way they try to avoid their duty are totally different than what i heard in my country. on the one hand they tried to be homosexual and injure by accidencial shooting in the clip. on the other hand, people in taiwan would try to gain weight, gain near sight, and fake heartattack. No matter which way they try to avoid the military stuff, they still have to realize that military is your duty. when your country needs you, you have no chance to say no.
