I found the stuff in bedford is not fresh for me, and it is not easy to make mistake. In addition to bedford, the essay can be a problem. At first, I just wrote down what teacher said in class, but when I started to write the confusing things came out. The solar activity have no evident energy rising; however, the evaporation has accumulated in atmosphere more than it used to. I assumed that the carbon dioxide makes the earth warmer, then the water evaporate more than long time ago. In one word, human are still the main cause...

Today I watched the movie called Snow White and the Huntsman.The movie basically changed the whole fairytale story,but it's still good. I also learned many words from that movie. Meanwhile, I met some problem when I watched the movie. The queen said "ruin me", and she also said "destroy me". I think "ruin" just can use to describe human's emotion or feeling whereas destroy usually use in indicating destruction of building. The only difference between "ruin" and "destroy" is "ruin" can use as a noun while "destroy" can not.

The bedford say using the active voice unless I have a good reason for choosing the passive, but I heard someone say using passive in my composition can make me getting a higher score. It is exactly the opposite compare bedford's rules, so I don't know should I use passive sentence in IELTS test.

As for the parallel ideas, I would say I didn't notice that when I wrote something before. Now I know that it is better to make ideas paralleled when I use a conjunction.

In one word, bedford help me a lot this week. I hope things could be much better in the future.

We did the model kill exam today. After that, I know how hard I should study. From the beginning of this test, I did not have enough time to finish the first reading because just got the main idea took me lots of time. Then the listening part, I was confused by the listening ,and I did not know the words in that listening sometimes. It could be extremely kill when someone always meet unfamiliar words in a listening. Afterwards, things kept going like it's way. All in all, I have to work hard. Otherwise, I can not do very well after I enter the university.

Today I started edit my first draft. I found the topic this time can be little easier than last time. But it still need compare similarities and differences. The last essay confused me because both are war, but this time it's comparison and contrast between nature and human. That could be more clear and intelligible. Therefore, I hope I can do much better this time.
As for grammar study, I think the boundary between run-on sentence and sentence fragments is fuzzy. These two things seem alike. Run-on sentence is not a complete sentence, so do fragments.

In order to give myself some spare time next week, I finished my Monday's bedford assignment and wrote one extra blog. Like the grammar sentence fragments, I believe some students may meet this kind of problem before. For example, I always forget add "s" behind when the verb's subject is the singular form. Others , for instance, may forget the be verb or add two verb in one sentence. That does not mean foreign students can not get over the grammar. I firmly believe practice and accumulate more during study time and daily activity can be an effective way for students to improve their language skill.

As for today's presentation, it’s really rushed. We decided to change the topic just before the day we have to show it. So it was lack of preparation. Taught By this lesson, we knew that we should choose some simple article as our topic. If everything is not well prepared, although the topic can be appealing,there have no possibility to attract our audiences. This time I got a new partner, hopefully, we can do better next time. The topic don't need crazy simple, but we need prepare it when we start to organize the outline.The practice of presentation must be in advance.

Yesterday I did the life expectancy calculator. Interestingly, I got 88. Unfortunately, I do not 
want to live like this long. Life could be enjoyable to me, but it's still too long. Someone got 80 
whereas some got 83. It means I have to live lonely in my last few years. Today, I reorganized 
the format of my final essay. I thought I obeyed all the rules in that list because it printed 
perfectly. But I realized there still have many problems when teacher checked the electronic 
one on the screen.

We went to the library with my partner today. Basking in the sunshine, we rewrote the article about brain research,it seems hard to understand because everything in that essay is concerning craving and how scientist try understanding this craving, but whatever it's still no problem now. Then, in the brief rest time, we enjoyed a cup of ice cream and tasty hot dog. What's more, we also read the Bedford book, today's grammar is about sentence type. At the beginning, we got confused about compound sentence and complex sentence. So we went through the whole unit and checked it online. Now it is clear. Sometimes, work together can be effective.

Chaos day

My partner and me got zero about today's outline. I don't know what should I say. Everything happened as I ignored the rule.
As for the school, I would say I was already chose Alberta so I don't care about that.
Concerning other things occurred today, I really have no idea. We went over the vocabularies that appeared in the reading and I got the meaning of empirical. Meanwhile, I knew someone's score going to be fail. Hopefully, it's not me.
It's time for finding out the way or just giving up and screwing everything up.

Today we hand in our essay draft. The inspection result is no one passed it by making mistake in the format. Frankly, I didn't pay enough attention to the rules that teacher shared with us online. At the same time, I ignored the citation thing while I was writing. That's the easiest thing we can do. Next time， I will do better like the
radio said teacher give students comment as they think the idea in that essay is worth for a reply. Students should feedback too. To show they care about the things that teacher just said. Everything will be better gradually.

Confusing thing today

I found some students do not use their brain while studying(sometimes include me). It is a dangerous signal to be a robot in acquiring knowledge. Like writing essay1, I can not come up with any ideas without the examples teacher already gave us. Remember years ago my dad reminded me brought my brain when I went to school. After that, I try figuring out what matter it is. But till today, it still confuse me. Meanwhile, many classmates going through it now. What's the key problem, sometimes its limitation of knowledge but most of time it's lack of thinking.

Improvement

Today we took the listening exercise, I realized that something tiny had happened. For example, two weeks ago that we firstly did our listening quiz, I couldn't catch  

up the words that speaker just said. But things became different this time, I can focus on some details the paragraph mentioned. Furthermore, taking notes seemed easier, because what point should I take get more and more clear in my head. I'm going to take IELTs next month, hopefully, I can get a better score by doing more listening exercise and writing more essay, composition before it come.

Say hi to uncle

Today we handed in our second outline which still have many problems with the format.
But after the teacher's demonstration, everything became more clearly. Unlike the things in my mind, each bullet should have the connection with others in that point.
Meanwhile, I also can mention some typical example. What's more, we have to learn how to explain our perspectives briefly and clearly. It's really useful in extracting  main idea from articles or some essays.
As for the uncle Bedford, I would say sorry. Because I ignore it for a while. But tonight I get enough time to fix it.
