"Reading and Prediction"

The I chose book for practicing reading skills is called "In Cold Blood". In the beginning, by just staring at the cover, I could predict that this story must being set in a suburban, somewhere called "Holcomb". The next step, I read the tittle of the first chapter where says "The Last To See Them Alive". The first ten pages were describing their appearances, jobs, educations, and brief backgrounds. So, I think the tittle gives the clue that this is the last time when the narrator see them alive, which means these people are going to be dead soon. I kind of have a sense of this is a good detective fiction, but based on true story.


Comments in "Where do we draw the line?"

I really like this blog, called Where do We Draw Line?. I’ve never thought about it is weird to communicate with adults. If there is no strangeness between teenagers and adults, then we wouldn’t even tend to associate with people who are same age as us. I think the reason why we’re acting like this, is because we feel that people who are same age would understand your mind easily; we can have more unspoken consensus!! As I become a adult in future, I’ll understand these reasons deeper and more clear, and try to let the teenager feel I am also a teenager.

Why Do We Blog?

These are notes I took from the article of Why Do We Blog?
These are the four reasons I agree

Reason 1. Let your voice to be heard.

Reason 2. Making connections around the world. Socialized!!

Reason 3. "But blog writing is like going off for a walk with no predetermined finish time or route, sometimes the walk is through the fields, sometimes along the streets." It's easier than writing, because you can type without thinking, very free.

Reason 4. It's faster and easier to get feedbacks from the readers. It might be corrections of grammar errors. And sharing ideas, the way of thinking. Punditry!!!
