Essay 2-03a: Learning with Computers

We use computers to learn many things. We should do our homework with computer.  By using computers, we can develop and improve our job skills. Also, we can learn many things in the Internet. There are many merits to use computers. On the other hand, there are some problems.

We do our homework with computers. For example, we have homework to write fifteen thousand words in our blog, get individual points in English Central, and write reports. Not only these homework, we have other homework to do with computers. In Reading class, we have to make news quiz, homework of headline with a computer. Blogging is not easy homework. I always find something to write in my blog in order to write fifteen thousand. Some students have to write many report to get units, so they write their report with computers.

By using computers, we can learn the way we use computers, and develop job skills. In many work place, people use computers. I think it is important to use computers smoothly. We can improve the skills by doing our homework and studying by ourselves. For example, we use Word, Excel to make our homework. When we use them, we can practice how to use them. To type fast, we have to type without watching keyboard of computer. I'm not good at type numbers, so I'm practicing typing numbers and words. If you have time, please try blind touch.

I make presentations in some class's homework. Thinking layout of presentations is important. I have helped my father's making presentations. Then, I thought it is important to make layout to be understood easily. Not just make a presentation. I think there will be chances to announce, so I should prepare information before making one.

We can connect to Internet with computers. The world in Internet is very wonderful. We can study many things with it. We can study English, Math, Society, and so on. When I did part time job, I studied Math with Internet because I have already dumped texts of Math when I was a high school student. In addition, we can watch movies to study or to enjoy them easily. I watch movies in youtube. I watch part of movies, American musician's songs, and listen to healing musics. I recommend you studying somethings with listening to healing musics. I can concentrate to my homework or something to do. I can study enjoying movies, so I'm not bored. I think it is important to study enjoying.

There are many good points of computer, but there are bad points, too. When you use computer for a long time, your eye become tired. Also, your eyesight become bad like me. If you kept sitting on a same place, I think you would have shoulder ache and back ache. I had hand ache when I use computers for very very long time. That was my real experience. I wrote it is easy to type faster, but don't type long time. Computer is a consumer electronics, so we need to pay electricity charges. It doesn't cost much money if you use notebook computer little long time, I think.

Computer is very useful for learning many things, but using too much is not good for us. I recommend you deciding time to use it, or you will have to buy glasses. However, deciding the time is difficult for me because it is very fun to use computers. I try to limit using computers. There are many information in Internet, so we should judge that information is right or false. It is depend on us that we use computers well or not.

BR 2-09: Horses and Ponies

"Pet horses trust people and like being stroked."

I thought there are some difference between horses and ponies, but this book hardly wrote about difference. Ponies are just small horses, but not children of horses. I have image that ponies have longer coat than horses. They have roles in herds, so they can live safety in wild. I like figures of horses running. This figure is very beautiful in this book, I think. My dream is riding horses in a vast plain. This book tells us the way we ride on horses, so that is very helpful for me. In this book, there are many pictures of horses. I like their eyes because their eyes looks are very kind.

I have little knowledge about pet cats, but I didn't know about wild cats. Pet cats usually eat their feed, but wild cats have to hunt their food. The way wild cats hunt is like the way lions hunt. The figure is very beautiful. Do you know the reason why pet cats scratch things in a house? I thought the reason is to sharp their nail, but the fact is showing that the things are their home, too. There are many cute pictures of cats in this book. For example, there are pictures of kittens, cat jumping, etc. I recommend people who like cats reading.
