New year resolution

     My first semester in college has almost passed. Compared to the beginning of my college life, I adapt myself well now. I gradually get used to the new life without my parents’ care and can handle my daily life appropriately. Most important of all, I am not so afraid of going to class and I hope I can develop much interest in the coming school life. In addition, in this year, I wish I can do well in time management increasing my work efficiency rather than wasting time so easily. I usually find that I will cost much time than others when we are doing the same thing and that I will use much time to finish my work. So, in the new semester, I would like to supervise myself to manage time more carefully, deal with things more efficiently, and concentrate on whatever I want to achieve.

learning obstacles

     I think the most vicious obstacles we face is our learning circumstances. We always study for the test or make an effort on the assignment which the teacher asked us to hand in. Because of academic pressure, we will be more hateful of studying and think that learning is a painful process. We won’t enjoy the process that we make progress, because the things we want to achieve is to get high grades, not mature.

     Instead of playing all the attention on school works, we should arrange our schedule with some interesting activities that we will enjoy them. It’s not only a way to relax but also an effective way for us to learn. The happier we feel when we are studying, the much effective reward we will get. Because we will have stronger will to keep learning instead of the reluctance and haste.

     Independent learning is an important element when we are learning. Studying isn’t a process that we went to school and sit in the classroom, it is a long process that throughout our whole life.

Is google making us stupid?

I disagree with that question. Maybe we can’t sense the effect of information technology obviously, but we can’t deny the benefits we enjoyed from it. Without making an effort on information technology, we may still live in the original circumstances, we can’t catch up with the world immediately by reading News on-line, what’s more, we will still live in a long distance from foreign countries, not like today’s flat global village.

The fourth paragraph is the one I like most. It mentioned that” We are not what we read, but how we read.” I like this sentence passionately, because these days we usually use computers to surf the Internet, to watch others’ blogger, to chat with friends, or even to read novels on-line. There is a great amount of article and information on-line, and is full of various kinds of resources, so the way we choose what kind of information to absorb is an important thing for us to consider carefully.

What we will absorb depends on how we read. If the article is worth reading, then slow down the speed when we are reading it. In that way, we can digest the real meaning the author wanted to express except for the literal means we get.
