<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Before the class, I have known that there are
so many resources that we can use to improve English. While I have no idea
about how to find such resources and what kind of the resources suit me the
best. I only used computer to find the definition of words which means that I
used it only just as a dictionary. However, after taking the CALL class in this
semester, I have learnt so many useful and excellent ways to improve skills
through Internet. For me, the most impressive and suitable resources are
blogger, TED and OpenCour</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">seW</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">are. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 42.5pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">When to talk about blogger, all I know is to
write articles for expressing feelings to share with friends. In fact, I have
never thought about that this platform which I used to use frequently could
also be a way to improve English. With writing on blogger in English, no matter
it is an assignment or a diary, we can have the chance to exchange articles to
our friends. It is much more interesting to read an article written by the one
who we are familiar with than by one we even don’t know who he is. Also, it
encourage ourselves to write when our friends continually update their
bloggers.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 42.5pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"> Another
advantage of blogger is that we can add the links of websites to our blog, such
as several online dictionaries. It save time and is convenient for us to use
when we need these websites. We can add the links with the websites that we
find useful when we are surfing the Internet. Because there are too many
resources on the Internet and it is impossible for us to remember all the
addresses of these websites, adding links to blogger make us easier to find
them when we need. In addition, we can not only add the website which can
improve English skills, but also add the websites interest us. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 42.5pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The second one that interests me a lot is TED,
which is the most suitable to me than any other online resources. There are
many videos that are about the presentation given by different people. It is
not just a website for video, like YouTube, but also a useful website to
improve by watching others presentations. W</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">e
can not only gain the language skills but also learnt the methods to give a
successful presentation by imitating the speakers. For example, using proper
pause, intonation, body language are some basis elements to give an attractive speech.
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: NanumGothic;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 42.5pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
third website is </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">OpenCour</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">seW</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">are</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">. It was my first time
to know about it and it really astonished me a lot. I couldn’t image that there
are free courses online which means that we don’t have to go to cram school and
spend lots of money. There are so many courses in different fields from various
university that allow us to take when there don’t have such lessons in our
school or we don’t have time to take lesson. Moreover, some courses even
provide videos, readings and exams to improve our listening and reading skills</span>.
Therefore, OpenCourseWare is really a useful resource to gain knowledge as long
as we make use of it. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In
this semester, I learnt lots of ways to learn with computer which is important
and necessary as computer have popularized in this generation. Because of the
busy daily life, I haven’t spent much time on these websites so far. While as
the coming of vacation, I will have much free time to make maximum use of</span>
them. Hopes myself will have progression. <o:p></o:p></div>

The first time I visit the website is to prepare the presentation on CALL class. I marveled at MIT OpenCourseWare 's resources of learning. It's amazing that I can find so many courses of different field. Moreover, some courses even provide videos, readings and exams. With the functions, we can not only learn the knowledge about the course, but also improve our listening and reading skills. The most impressive thing is that the resources on the website are all free which means we can make use of it to improve our English skills instead of spending time and money on cram school. I really like the opencourseware website and I will give it a try in the future.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398086379803319039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016836406566142107.post-49868556513422760242015-05-17T01:00:00.002+08:002015-05-19T13:50:13.857+08:00#6 TED video:Letting go of God<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px;">The title: </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px;">Letting go of God</span></span><br />

recommend this video and consider it is worth to listen because I really
appreciate her speaking skill. The content was not about knowledge
or analysis but about her story. Although there was no <span style="background: white;">academic erudition in her speech, she still </span><span style="text-align: start;">successfully attracted the audiences. </span><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;"> Making use of

have watched this video for several times, and every time I was tempted by her
funny way of giving a speech. While I didn’t just watch for fun, I tried to learning
skills from her. I imitate</span>d her and then practiced to combine the way
she used with my speak style.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I think this website is
very useful to improve the listening skill. We can not only listen to
the recording online, but also to download it to our computer or music
player. It makes us more convenience to listen again if we want to review it.
And its other superiority is that there will be a new one almost every day so
that we will have the latest content. </span>Also, the explanations of words
or phrases which the host gives are very detailed. The most important is that
this website is free. The only weakness is that all the recordings are
conversation; therefore, we won’t learn the academic words and phrases. The pity
of it is that we won’t have th<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">e

Jessie Wang. Nice to see you. I studied in the department of Apply Foreign Language. My major is English and Spain is my
minor. I started to learn English since I was little and I've got the TOEIC
certification of 700 grades. I believe that English is an essential skill in
this globalized generation because of the wide-spread Internet and convenient
transportation. In addition, I like drawing and playing electronic guitar in my
