At the beginning of this curriculum, I’m very reluctant to read Aesop’s Fable because I think this book is suitable for children, rather than me, a college student. However, I admit that I learn a lot after finishing it. Firstly, I know a great many of words about animals such as wasp,partridge and owl which broaden my knowledge. Words are basis of learning English. Secondly, it tells me a lot of truth in life. If one day I become a teacher, I will tell my students these ideas. In my opinion, although some are out of date, it is still a fortunate in my life. As for English learning techniques, the most important thing is interest. This course not only allow us to accumulate all the knowledge related to English during reading but also help us develop a good habit of reading. Last but not the least, I start trying to write complex long sentences by using conjunction. I think this is my biggest progress because I overcome my worry that I fear making mistakes. Even if I am not very good ,I believe as long as I try my best, my writing techniques will improve.

After reading Stephen King's essay "Reading to Write" (72) it opened my eyes for writing.

In the essay What Meets the Eye, Daniel Akst argues that look or beauty does matter in the daily life, that is, people’s life can be largely influenced or even controlled by look. Through reading Akst’s essay, I completely understand how people have different perspectives of others, as many people pay attention to and worry about how they look in the daily life. And people tend to judge others by their beauty or looks to a large extent. Akst’s ideas quite conform to and reinforce Paglia’s points that pursuing and maximizing one’s attractiveness and beauty is a justifiable aim in any society, and that good surgery discovers reveals personality. Both of them hold the idea that beauty plays an important role in people’s life and it is significant to enhance one’s beauty and attractiveness.

I am now able to see the areas in which I lack in but I also recognize my strengths as well. To become a precise writer, you have to take the initiatives that will help you do so. These initiatives consist of working on different academic genres, planning and organizing material, identifying purpose and audience and for revising intentionally. It is also includes reading different types of texts and learning how to understand a writer’s argument and respond to the ideas of others.
These factors can be religious functions, economy, advertisements, etcetera. The beauty ideal as we know it nowadays, of course, differs from the ones ages ago or at least as far as we know.

One of the categories in being the ideal woman is being conventionally beautiful because, according to the media, a significant portion of a woman’s self-worth rests in appearance. This can be seen through women’s magazines in particular, which promote altering one’s appearance leads to the significant improvement of one’s “love life and relationships, and ultimately, life in general” (Bazzini 199). Therefore, the media presents a direct relationship with beauty and success: the more attractive a woman is, the better her life will be.

I like having a lot of ideas floating around and think about which idea is the best and the most exciting topic to talk about.
