book review

Recently, I read a book called “rain man”. Charley is a hustler. He has his own business but it is terrible and he had not got enough money to pay for the bill. He finds that the father who threw him out when he was a teenager has died. He's left him a now antique convertible and something more important, a completely unknown brother, Raymond. Raymond is Autistic, but he is able to calculate mathematical problems in his head with great speed and accuracy. Their father has left his most possession to Raymond who doesn't even understand what money is for. Charley is enraged by what has happened and by his father keeping Raymond's existence from him for his entire life. He kidnaps Raymond from his residential home. When they were on their trip, Charley found that Raymond is his secret friend when he was young. Charley called him “rain man”. The old memory emerged on his mind. He really has this older brother. The long trip leaded they to understand each other

These tow pictures are related to different types’ classroom. The first one is a computer class and another one is a drawing class. We can easy found that the student who study in the computer class, they are need team work. And the drawing class’s student they are painting by themselves, so I think this is the biggest different form these tow classes.

Moreover, I think the first class student, they can share the idea, experience, so they can get the answer easily; but another group of students will consider, image and do everything by the themselves, although, it is quite hard for them, but they can improve their ability and this drawing class also have a quite environment; it’s really good for study, so I support the student study in the second class.

Oral skiil-three pronunciation features

Morning class I listened a report about the money national radio’s news headlines. It mentioned about 6 stories: The Herald-2 stories; Dominion post-2 stories; The press-1story; Otago Daily times-1 story.

Weak forms of prepositions, articles, modal verbs, auxiliary verbs:

The/∂/ new drug trail offering hope to/∂/ women with the/∂/ history of /∂/ miscarriages.

Comparison

Both of these two pictures are related to market. The first one is a supermarket and another is a local market. From the first picture we can see there is a better shopping environment and very nice food. But the stuff of that must be more expensive than the local market. In my opinion, more and more people like shopping in a comfortable place such like this. On the other hand, the local market is very good for some restaurants and some people who want buy the cheap things but also fresh. The local market can help people save the money. But I think the local market is not suiting me because I do not know how to make the price cheaper. Anyway I prefer the supermarket where is clean and has the fresh stuff.

MY break

During my break I went to Rotorua and Taupo with my 3 brothers and my sister. Although, this is my second time went to there, but I still enjoy this trip.

Unfortunately, we just stayed there for three days, because my brother’s job. Some of my friends want to know why I like to go to Rotorua. These days I found that I grew up in a busy city, and now I study in a busy country too. So I want find a place where I can have fun and also quite, so Rotorua must be the place where I dreamed before. This is my first time felt really relaxed. However I never felt boring at that time, because I did some excited sports, such as rafting and bumgy jumping. But I found one thing makes me felt not very good-the food. Some sea food are very nice but expensive, the others is just so so. We came across Taupo when we were back. We ate lunch in there, and I think the boss of that restaurant were very happy, all of my friends are shocked, we just 5 people, but we ate 6kg’s shrimp. So I still feel sick now. Anyway, I am very enjoyed this break.

The effects of Globelisaton on my life

The effects of globalisation are not only having advantages, but also have disadvantages on my life.

Firstly, the globalisation teaches me some new knowledge which I cannot learn it in school, such as the new culture, new fashion and new life style. I am very interested in it. The globalisation also changes my life. I still remember in my childhood when I wanted to listen the music from radio, I just followed the radio’s menu and I cannot choose the type of the music, but nowadays, I have my own MP3,so it is very helpful and useful. In the other hand, the globalisation makes me very enjoy computer games, so it always wastes my time. I liked playing basketball very much before, but now chatting online instead of it, so I do not think it good for my healthy. The globalisation also pushes the electrification improve quickly, so the game box is very popular, and I cannot control myself, because of that my wallet always empty.

To sum up, the globalisation pushes the world development; teach me more and more professional. Although, the globalisation has the two sides influence, but I think the positive influence takes a big part of globalisation. I just enjoy the globalisation changes my life.

News Headlines for text-based skill

I came across this article in crime story from the internet .it is about a victim who was harmed by two people with batons and what was happened.

The case happened on February 14 on the Haebour Bridge. Because the offender’s car cut into the travelling lane and cause the victim was forced to stop them. When the offender’s car stopped, two people got down with tow batons. At that time, a witness stopped them.

From this incident, a man had saved another driver from serious injury in a road rage attack. So when the people drive should stop this bad event’s happed and drive safely.
