ReplyDelete１. I read about life of Wilma Rudolph. She suffered serious illness and her left leg was damaged. She needed leg supports to walk. She bearded training foe long time, so she was able to walk. She took part in Olympic and get three gold medals. She is respectable women. I think it is important to keep hoping and never give up.
ReplyDelete２. I think it is true. Because we can notice what is success when we are making mistakes and compare other things. When we are making mistakes, we are looking for other way to success and we approach success. In conclusion we need to make mistakes.
1.I read about testosteron which is a male hormone.In this story,it is said that ring finger tends to be longer than index finger if there are a lot of testosteron.It was easy for me to understand this story because I have known that.Actually,my ring finger is longer than my index finger,so I may have a lot of testosteron.
ReplyDelete2.I think this is true about learning a language because I feel that it is easy for me to learn a language which I have mistaken when I learn a language.I think I can't learn everything until I repeat learning.Therefore,I think the secret to success is making mistakes too.
1. I read about fat and it's factors. According to United Nations statistics, more than 22 million children worldwide are fat or overweight. This phenomenon has been attributed to the expansion of cities and the ever increasing use of machines. Another factor is the high sugar and fat content in fast food and soft drinks, which are very popular with children and advertised aggressuvely by major corporations.

1.I read football and DNA which is about the top football players's skils are link to their DNA. A team of scientists found the ring fingers are longer than index fingers. Why is it related to the DNA? The reason is that hormone helps parts of body growing. I got several vocabulary from there and I thought Net-Academy is good way to learn wide vocabulary!

1. I read about life of Wilma Rudolph. When she was young, she suffered many illnesses. One of them was polio. Her left leg was injured, but at age twelve she recovered completely by her hard training. She could walk without supporting tool. After that she became the first American woman to get three Olympic gold medals in track race at Rome Olympics. I feel she was really strong and powerful. I want to be woman like her.
ReplyDelete2. Yes! I think it is true about learning a language. In high school days, I often missed a tense when I write English sentences. Then my English teacher said “You had mistake. Please check the answer with each other.” I got into the habit of paying attention due to mistake.
1.I read about Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Ozone layer. CFCs are chemical compounds that comprise diverse chemical elements and have been destroyed the ozone layer. A team found there was a hole in the ozone layer in 1970s. Thanks to an international treaty that signed in 1987 called for the reduction of CFCs, Scientists believe CFCs declined near the earth’s surface.

ReplyDelete2. I think this is almost true. Because I think it is not “success” without mistakes. A thing that succeeded at first time is “accident” or “lucky”. It is not until you failed that you realize the existence of success. You have to fail many time until you succeed!

ReplyDelete2 I think it is true to need mistakes for success. After we mistaked, we could know what is true. I think that circumstance is important,too. We should make circumstance which nobody care about someone's mistakes.
1, I read about the story of nonsmoking restaurant.The owner worried because there are few customers, so he sought the advice of his older brother. He was said, “You should forbid smoking in restaurant.” Many people like to eat their meals while breathing clear air. After he took his advice,many customers started coming.
ReplyDelete2, I think that it is true and making mistakes is really important to improve our language skills. When I make a mistake I look up a correct answer in a dictionary or other ways and gradually I learn a lot of words. Therefore I think that we can learn many things by making mistakes.
1, I read the story about exchange with students of foreign country. A girl met foreign country students a few years ago, and they became very good friends.

1.I read about the light and the shadow of the Internet. Internet is very convenent.However,In Internet, many people can write informations, so it is difficult to find information that you want to know and to judgment whether those are true or not. Moreover, criminal gets personal information. Internet is very convenient but is also dangerous.

ReplyDelete1,I read about trip of Spain. The man stayed in Madrid and he wanted to cut his hair. He went to barber and he explained to barber that he want to cut just a little. However, baeber misunderstanded. His hair was very short.
2,I think it is true about learning language because when we making a misstake, we can notice our weak point. If we can notice it, we will not make same misstake again so it is important for us to make misstake.
Unacceptable. You MUST respect the deadline.

ReplyDelete1. I read about football player and DNA. A team of scientists thinks top of American football players may be good due to their DNA. They measured the ring and index fingers of some of top players and They discoverd that the ring fingers of many players are longer than their index fingers. If the ring fingers are longer than index fingers, the hormone testosterone produces a lot of testosterone. So the best American football players have long ring fingers.
2.I also think about it, because we should make misstake above all else. If you made misstake in class or play sports or whatever you do, you can learn correct easily. When you make mistake, you become shy and feel so fault. So you can learn that it's misstake and that is correct answer.
Unacceptable. You MUST respect the deadline.
DeleteSo sorry for the late comment.
