JOURNAL #4

　　　　From my junior high school, I have always done well in my writing in Chinese. My articles were taken as model essays by Chinese teacher to read out to the whole class. The more time the teacher appreciated, the better I did my essays. I am proud of and enjoy my writing in Chinese. Usually, I document my day-life impression about an experience, a book, a movie, or a people in my blog. It is a record of my growth process. Once I review these records one day, it will remind me of precious memories.
　　　　　But now it is my English era, I must focus on my writing in English. Actually, I’m not good at skill of English writing, such as grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, so that it’s difficult to correctly express my thought. Grammar which makes readers clarify what writers convey is the basic of a sentence. I still make some mistakes in some details. It is not allowed to occur in academic writing which is conscientious and careful. Vocabulary can make the whole article vivid, especially adjective words which exactly describe the features of something. Sentence structure can make the article complex.
　　　　　It better looks like a academic essay with different sentence structure. During the ELI study, I had have to practice and practice, again and again under the guidance of my teacher. She teaches sorts of skills to put in use, so that I achieve progress in my English writing.
　　　　　Maybe soon after several months or a year, I can document my thoughts in English and share my emotion to my foreign friends.

JOURNAL #3 (television and radio)

My major is television and radio journalism , so I chose the topic which is about the difference between television and radio to discuss. To be the first electronic media of human being's invention , radio became a great revolution of the history of communication medias. In 1950s , television was the new favourite mass media to instead of radio because of its audio-visual integration. The obvious difference is the use of audio and visual. Radio spreads information just through voice , while television supplies people audio and visual at the same time. To constant television , broadcast can be used everywhere, so that people can listen to the radio with walking, driving and taking the bus. It's convenient for people who are outside. But if someone would like to watch TV programmes , they should stay at home or other places where have television. In terms of kinds of programmes , television has more types of programmes , such as teleplays , movies , and news. Radio bases on the principle of music , news and features. Television and radio are different medias to spread information to people, people can choose any one in different situation with their particular.
