Nowadays, people invents money to new technology, one of most popular technology is computer internet. Internet websites are convenient for all different industries and institutions, such as corporations, businesses, offices, schools and governments. Using internet is able to bring two distance people into one place for meeting. For businessmen, using internet easily can update their data, efficient information, communication and other works. People can be done their works in home through internet instead of office. For college student, internet is not only learning knowledge tool, also a wonderful communication tool for students and professors.

Many courses through internet are offer to college student, whether matriculate or non-matriculate program. Teachers do teach class and students do listen teachers’ teaching through internet. Students also can practice their learning, quiz examination and work done in home. For freshman student in St. John’s University, students are encouraging to use computer. School not only gives computer to every freshman, school also invests a lot of money in computer lab. From many points of view, college student have to know computer skill and computer knowledge, not only good in school homework, also help student in the future career when they are entering in competitive outside world.

With the help of internet technology in ESL writing class and team blog practice. Using computer write a paper is faster than using pen, also can avoid writing error through automatical checking system. Using internet writing blog is become more interesting to student. Student likes use computer because convenience. Computer is a smart tool today. New technology make student nowadays no only become better writer, also are motivated them to write more and practice more. Writing homework are become interest, fun and play without pressure. Student may feel self-confidence because work done more properly and presentable.

Students have opportunity to practice new technology through computer skill, whether English writing or other courses. Compare using pen and computer in writing class, it using computer seems more advantage to them than disadvantage. I learn a lot of computer skill in spring semester 2007. In ESL reading and writing class for example, to write a blog is new to me, I never have it before. I write a blog every week which require by teacher, I read New York Time everyday they send email to me, I practice quiz, non-stop English everyday in website. In ESL speech class for another example, I learn how to prepare presentation through computer. This is first time, I learn power point skill, I am learning how to transferable data from websites to memorial card, then make slide show on the end. All of these computer skills are very interesting and new to me. I am very happy that I have chances to learn and to practice them in my class.

So far, Computer and English reading and writing are challenges me. However, I am willing and able to learn them. In next semester, I will taking courses in ESLW and add another course as elective with computer science as well. I wish to improve these two courses to obtain more knowledgeable and skill able in the same time. I think it great things.

attend college good to people

People attend college or university to receive higher education. They look for a higher degree for sure. Whether bachelor, master or doctoral degree. They also come for many other different reasons, for example, to receive the most efficient way to improve their individual knowledge and career skill.

All knowledge and skills can be learned in academic books and also in classrooms from different professors. They all are good in their professional field. According to their teaching experience, they will know individual student levels and needs. They can provide useful advice for their students and help each student succeed.

In my opinion, higher education is very important today. People attend college for career preparation. They will obtain a better job and better life in the future after they graduate from university. College and university will train them well to be a qualified and quality person. The core curriculum provides students with general knowledge and major courses prepare students in competencies and leadership skills.

Nowadays in our society, all fields are very competitive. Businessman must keep brainstorming for their business. Upgrading their career skills and ideas are becoming very important. College and university are the place for them to upgrade their knowledge and ideas. Also, they can learn more things from the student societies.

People shall learn good things in good ways in good places. College or university is a perfect place to meet these criteria. Universities have more advanced programs than other places. Campuses have research centers, writing centers, tutoring centers, labs, libraries, mentor programs, and all kinds of support tools to help students. Students can learn efficient ways and good things from professors. On campus, all buildings are nice, clean, quiet, and good places for study.

If someone doesn’t like college or university, they will end up lacking education.
Maybe this dislike is temporary and they may learn to like it later. If not they will learn from the real world, but they will be learning the hard way. On the other hand, they can easily learn from college if they attend.

In America, college or university is an amazing place because people can enrich their knowledge at any age. They always can go back to school to get their college degree. I am so excited to be a student at St. Johns University. I look forward to completing my degree and upgrading my knowledge at the same time. Isn’t it a wonderful thing?

support or oppose to build a factory near community

A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.

People are lives in residential community area are separates from industrial or factory in New York City. All buildings in New York City have restriction in zoning resolution by Building Department. Normally, people like living in nice beautiful block, no traffic and quieter community. People are enjoying more green and play ground for children and family. It is different building style between factory building and community house. For my view points, I will not support a company to build a large factory near residential area in New York City. On another hand, I may support to build a factory near community if I residents in third world country or undeveloped town because public need more open job opportunities for them.

New York City is well developing city. Transportation and other factors are fully provides by government. Whether commercial store, shopping mall, office building, school district, residential area, industrial and factories zone are all according to city zoning resolution planning. Urban or suburban in NYC are convenient to transport from place to place. The city rules are protects community residents. I like to support government and his regulations. If factory built in near community may occurrences a lot of traffic and pollution. Also huge building, itself monster different style can not fit to residential house I think.

A large factory near community will bring many working opportunities to community. In develop city like NYC, we have good transportation to carry workers to factory area, workers can back home everyday so easily. On another hand, in undeveloped town like inland China or Africa, there has no bus or subway or car to transport workers to working places. People normally walk to jobsites. It may take them many hours on each trip. A place may far away from home, they may left their family and stay in jobsites for a week or a month or a year. They can not back home everyday; it is not good for him and family. If a company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near this poor community. Then working people can work without left family. In that case, I will support this company to build a factory near community because it brings stability and advantage to the community.

In different circumstance, a company build a factory near community, in some community may be good to them. On another hand, in another community may be disadvantage to them, depend their different needs. What living environment and how they lives and where were they work. These factors may cause them to support or oppose a company to build a factory near their community. People must be careful choice advantage thing; they can through marketing research or public hearing to know both advantage and disadvantage. I vote for their good. A stability society, people have stable job and income. They work everyday and come home everyday. Prevent pollution or noise to community if any factory near community. No matter the approach or outlook, people all desire and seek quiet, convenient and comfortable lives. In my opinion, first of all, I will rethink about all factors even concern next generation may influence by factory in a long run. I will reconsider through source of public hearing to know advantage and disadvantage and people demand. This is the type of my approach that brings me decision to support or oppose.

Eastern Sunday - History

Dear my friends:

I am thank you for your time to visit my house B.B.Q in Thursday Aril 5th.

This is very special day is the day of last super, Jesus Christ with his disciples, he washes their feet. It was just before the Passover Feast. He knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.

Jesus predicts his betrayal. I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture; He who shares my bread has lifted up his heel against me.

Jesus predicts Peter’s denial him three times before the rooster crows.

Jesus comforts his disciples if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Jesus the way to the Father, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to be with us forever.
Jesus prays for himself, for his disciples and for all believers. (John 13-19)

Then Jesus arrested, and sentenced to be crucified and the crucifixion on Good Friday.
Jesus had to rise from the dead after three days. The Eastern Sunday it is most Great Day on the year.

I wish all of you have special Eastern Sunday, and know the son of God by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ he is the only one. He is our savior.

See you in next Tuesday. Good bye !!!
