Article report of "GIRL"

In this article,there are some suggests written by a mother.She ask his daughter to be a gentlewoman,to be a girl, not to be a slut.She tell her daughter some information about how to live,how to deal with clothes,foods and area she live,how to protect herself.The article is full of mother’s love and hope.She want her daughter to have a better future.This article is kind of strange.There is no intact sentence, no story,no daily life.The whole article is just made up of many imperative sentences.I think this article isn't a piece of function,and I don't know what kind of this article.And I don't know why the writer write this article,just give her daughter some suggests?

I review Mercer’s blog.

1.I review Mercer’s blog.

2. 9 The article written by Mercer engage the material.

3. 8 Mercer did a good job.But I think what Mercer thought is different from mine.I think Lisa 

and David are really different people,so they never repeat each other.

4. 10 Yes,there is no Chinese.

5. 7 Mercer’s English is OK,but is not too great.There are some grammar mistakes.For example,in 

this sentence,“I see some emotion hide in the words.”I think “hide” should be changed into “hidden”,and 

 “in”should be changed into “under”.

6. 8 No,I think it doesn’t matter if writer’s name is not display.But because his name is not 

display,I can’t give him 10 points.

7. 5 I’m so sad to see that Mercer hasn’t designed his blog.And there is no good title and labels 

in his blog.But it’s really easy to use his blog,it is the most important.And I’m so sad to say I 

don’t have good title,neither. :-(

8. 8 Mercer take the stance of David,I think.And he may have simply told us what the material is,

I’m not really sure.He didn’t make a claim,but it’s OK for him to tell us the material already. 

9. 10 Yes,everyone can comment.

10. 3 I must say no.Mercer hasn’t designed his blog.

 Total points: 78/100

Final Comments:What Mercer think is great,and it engage the material.But I think Mercer should 

spend time designing his blog.There are also some grammar mistakes that should be improved.

Ailment--the illness that is not very serious
Sear/seared--the things that is dry by the fire,sun and so on
Errand--task
Errant--don`t go on a right way

eerie /Eerily--strange/frightening

confine/confining--limit

quintessential--something that is perfect

pans/pan (verb)--the way to find gold

 

 

In this part of the article,the writer and his sister went to watch a movie.But they arrived in a wrong theater and watched a movie which showed a older sister and a younger errant brother.And that boy is just like Lisa,so Lisa impressed a lot.They even saw the similiar people in the real life.Lisa felt very sorry for what she had done  in the past,so she want others to forgive her.

I like watching movies and often get some emotional resonance from the movies.I may think if the story can take place in the life and if I have experienced the story when I watch a movie.Just like the movie "So Young",it introduce the life of some collegers,the love,the friendship and so on.The people change a lot with the time go by,but some of feeling will never change. This story is so real that I often thought about myself.Some people,like me may wonder if I will suffer it?What should I do at that time?Will…? Some others who had experienced it were moved and remember the day they get along with there classmates.

 

    

#4

I`m sorry to say confused of the article.I don`t what does the writer want to tell us with those words.He just 

listed some things about his sister.And I don`t what is the purpose of this part of the article .

What does the writer want to tell us?There is no contact with the former part of article.Is there something I can`t find yet?Why does the writer write the part of the movie?Maybe his sister changed a lot and became successful,so there are somebody want to make a movie 

for her.But what does the writer want to show?As for the part of coffee,there is also a parrot that can imitate.I wonder if the writer want 

to tell us we should not imitate,we should have our own way.Or just show what did the writer say

 and do at that time.

article report of "Repeat After Me"

Many things may be changed with the time go by.We were too young to understand the world when we are children.We were not willing to do what our parents and other older relatives wanted us to do,for no reason,maybe just wanted to have a new way which isn`t like others` way.So we might do something ridiculous and amazing,just like dropout,which made they bacome really nervous.Though we knew what our parents want is hleping us live better in the future.And when we grow up,we learned more about society.So we might become regret for why didn`t follow parents` advice and learn to know thoese advice.Our parents will be really happy if we do like that.In summary,we should follow our parents` suggestions and our parents need`t be nervous if we not.We will know the right way  by ourselves though we may be on the wrong way at first.

Article report of "The School"

I must say that the school life in China is quite different from it in western countries.Children

 in western countries can keep some pets in the classroom,feeding them, waiting them to grow up 

and bury then when the pets dead.And teachers there think it is part of education.But leaders of 

education in China have never encouraged school to do like this.We are not permitted to keep a pet 

or plant a tree in school,so I really envy the school life there.Some students even have never 

kept a pet when they go to university.I believe that only when children have kept pets and 

planted trees can they learn how to take care of others not only pets and plants better. Only 

when children have kept some pets can they learn what is death and what should they do when they 

meet death.

article report of "Power Point is Evil"

I think it is really a good article although I can`t understand all the words.
It has a perfect beginning about drugs.It compared the drugs and Microsoft PowerPoint that tell us there are many similar things between then.It also can attact us to read the text.
Actually,Microsoft PowerPoint improves our life.Many companies and schools use it to express and show things they want.The disadvantages are also very obvious though in China the problems are quite different from what the text say.For example,when I was a student in middle school,teachers often prefer to use it to teach something for its convenience.But we usually memorize less information than when teacher write words in blackboard.And people also become more and more lazy because of  benefits it brings us.
