ASP Assignment

In the last ASP class, I practiced P&D. I talked about "Getting the Most Out of Your Teachers" from Meiland. There were not so much time so I didn't have enough discussion time. I thought I had to think more about time management. I could speak seeing every member's eyes than I had thought, however, I had to speak more loudly and confidently. Other members' presentation was good but there were also short time for discussion. I wanted to have more discussion time. When I give the real presentation, I want to speak more clearly and think about time well.

ASP Assignment May 25

I learned about how to use Google presentation in the last ASP class.

I could put some pictures and movies on the presentation pictures easily. I had though making presentation pictures was very difficult for me, but I knew that I could if I try to do. I want to use Google presentation when I give presentation from now on.

ARW Essay2 Assignment

The pieces of information I found in sources to use to support my thesis and topic sentence ideas for Essay 2 are as follows. The supporting piece of evidence that I found for body paragraph 1 is a date of a questionnaire that more than half of the object people think that there are time when they should tell a lie. Moreover very few people think that they shouldn’t tell a lie in any case. This date is from a site which URL is http://www.tepore.com/koe/dousuru/050428/. This date supports that people sometimes have to tell a lie in their usual life.

The supporting piece of evidence that I found for body paragraph 2 is a paraphrase that a man joined a company in 1963 but he was fired because he hidden the fact that he participated in campus activism. He accused the company but he was lost. But many experts think it is disputable. (最新図説政経　浜島書店) And when a TV drama which is about John Lennon was made, a man was chosen for main character. But he was relieved of his role because his name was same as a man who killed John Lennon. (東野圭吾　手紙　文春文庫　解説より)　

The supporting piece of evidence that I found for body paragraph 3 is a date of a questionnaire that many children believe in Santa Claus and both of parents and children say Santa Claus is important.

ASP Assignment

In the last class, we talked about what the most important thing is if we get lost in the desert because of plane’s crash. The way of survive is that go to mine which is 70 miles away or go back to the flight plan which is 65 miles away. First, I made ranking of the importance of items by myself. In my expectation, the most important item was water, and next was overcoat, then third was book entitled Edible Animals of the Desert. And I thought that cosmetic mirror was the most useless. Next, we had group discussion and made new ranking. In my group, we thought that the most important item was water, next was salt tablets and third was map of the crash area. And in the group, cosmetic mirror was at last place again. Finally, we listened to the ranking which was made by professional of survival. In this ranking, the most important item was cosmetic mirror. I was very surprised to hear that. According the professional, mirror is useful to ask help because it reflects sunlight and it can be a sigh. My score was 79 and my group’s score was 84. I thought I might not be able to survive in desert. I have to learn something about survival when I board airplane.

ASP Assignment

In Friday’s ASP class, we talked about the order of rescue people supposing that they were in dangerous situation. When we thought about the order, we considered some aspects of the people. For example, it was age, sex, job, morality, and contribution to society. In group discussion, we concluded that the persons who are rescued first should be two children because we could rescue two children together. However, it was difficult to choose who to rescue after children. Should we precede younger people or older people? Or should we think about people’s job? We thought that women don’t have so much strength, but old people also will not have strength. It is difficult question. In addition, I thought about morality. Which should we choose the man who is alcoholic or the man who works hard to cure of AIDS. Finally, I thought that the best way to decide the order of rescue was random. Everyone has their own life and the importance of them is same. However, it was very hard to decide the order. At the last of the class, professor asked us who rescue first in our section if we were in the dangerous situation. It was more difficult question.
