Evaluation
1. Advantages of our pair work:
a. Good interaction
b. Responding to each other’s thoughts regularly
c. Expressing similar or different opinions properly
2. Disadvantages of our pair work:
a. Times of discussion are not enough
b. Sometimes, we reply to each other late
We think we can search for related information and share it with each other on the blog. Moreover, we should notice the time limit of each task. All in all, in the long run, we should improve our writing quality as well as quantity. We believe that we will do a better job in the remaining weeks of this semester.
Dear Glory,
回覆刪除I think we do a good job in these months and it is interesting to participate in this writing project. I have to say that the topic we discuss every week is meaningful and interesting. It is a new try for me to cooperate with someone I never meet. The power of Internet is quite huge, isn’t it? Thanks for this project; I can have Glory as my partner. Although you are just a freshman, I think you already have critical thinking ability. You can focus on questions and elaborate your answers fluently and clearly. To be frank, it is very difficult for me to do so when I was a freshman in the English department. I was not used to thinking and writing in English at the time.
Sometimes we may have some grammatical problems. However, I think we try hard to make this project better. By this project, we can know each other’s opinion, and learn from partner’s language usage skills, various perspectives, and even self-experiences.
I hope we can have this writing project next semester since it can push us to read some articles about the topic. Besides, the questions help us to think in different ways and partner can give comments and suggestions each other. It is really helpful.
Dear Lily,
回覆刪除To be frank, this is my first time to express my opinions with someone in English on blog by participating in this blogging activity. Moreover, just as you said, “It is a new try for me to cooperate with someone I never meet.” , in the beginning, I wonder how well will this cooperation works, but so far, I think our interaction is unexpectedly great. It is so amazing, right?
I have to say having you as my partner is my great pleasure.
I feel flattered when you mention my critical thinking. From my point of view, good critical thinking is based on many things, like accumulation of knowledge from several different references. Therefore, I should read many books and absorb information as much as I can so as to enhance my critical thinking ability.
Actually, thinking and writing slowly in English is my drawback, which troubles me all the time. Although it takes a lot of time for me to improve my learning approach of English, I never give up trying and practicing. I think you must make progress in your English proficiency after two and half years.
If we can have this writing project next semester, I hope we are still partners.
Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you, Lily. ：）
Truly yours,
Glory
