Smile to Life
2011.11.27 Sunny
This week, I would like to reflect on my life attitude.
On Friday evening I had dinner with an old friend who I had not met for almost half a year. After dinner, she said: “Do you know that you seldom smile now? You used to joke and laugh a lot. What is the matter?” Hearing her words, I was a little unexpected. Then I had to admit that she was true. These days I look solemn, peaceful and quiet. My laughter is missing.
It was then that I began to reflect on the reasons why I changed.
One of the main reasons is that I complicate simple things and attach too much importance to trivial things. Therefore, I always seem lost in thinking. When others see me, they may misunderstand that I am unhappy. Maybe I should forget some insignificant happenings and thoughts and resume a carefree appearance.
Therefore on Saturday afternoon, I went window shopping with a girl friend. It was really a pleasure to relax with someone whom you feel comfortable with. We did not buy much but had a lot of fun enjoying walking through the streets of neon lights among crowds of people. After coming back, I took a bath and had a good sleep at night. I felt refreshed the other day.
Sometimes we should unburden the overwhelming thinking and indulge ourselves in pure sensatory joy. A little walk without thinking about what to do next, a view watching away from office affairs can make a difference. Modern people think more and feel less due to the quickened life pace. It is time for us to stop for a while to smell the flowers. Life is a mirror. Smile to it and then it will smile back.

Self-reflection
2011.11.21 Sunny
I read several sections of An Introduction to Second Language Acquisition and journals in the library tentatively last week. Reading in the library is very effective; the only limit is that I cannot use my computer to assist me. The English magazines in the library are also very interesting and books about encouragement are very useful for my life. In a word, the school library is a good play to study in. When I am in school, I should go there often.
As for writing, I began writing to e-pals via emails, which is a good start. One of my e-pals is a secondary school student who is very friendly and the other is much older and more experienced retired man. I can communicate with them regularly every week and share with each other interesting things.
As for reading, I was not as effective as before and my reading plans were not carried out smoothly. I think I need to specify my personal reading plan, so that I can be more efficient. The book I am reading these days is The Catcher in the Rye, which interests me as much as other novels. I should squeeze more leisure time for reading, so that I can read more novels in my free time.
In the following week, I am going to prepare my course paper for Contemporary American Novel course based on the novels I have read. I am also going to prepare for other course papers and examination in an orderly manner. Hopefully, all the course papers can be well-written.

Self-reflection
2011.11.12 Sunny
This week, I focused on reading a linguistics book and perfected my mind map once I made on another book. For making mind map, I have learnt more.
First, some books are not suitable for making mind map. For example, the book I am reading is called The Study of Second Language Acquisition by Rod Ellis. When talking about one topic, numerous relative theories are listed in a random way; therefore, there is no clear logical line to follow. At first, I tried to note down what I had read in mind map, but then I gave up.
Second, if materials are well prepared before making mind map, then it is much easier to integrate the materials into a mind map. When I was making the mind map on individual differences and SLA, I collected students’ PPT in class and made use of them. It turned out that the efficiency was much higher, because I have hands-on materials.
On Friday evening, we attended a lecture give by Grade Three students who do very well in researches. They were very impressive because they had thoughts. Firstly, they read a lot with critical thinking and they write a lot of valuable articles. Enjoy learning, extensive reading and critical thinking are the reasons why they can do so well. Their way of thinking is independent and unrestrained. Their learning strategies are personalized. I believe these are what I should learn from them.
