This is also a time of more reflection 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIBDR4Dn2g&NR=1&feature=endscreen , the development of high technology also is a challenge for teachers. When students can get any information anywhere and anytime, teachers must be aware of the role of a teacher and the proper way of teaching. I practiced my listening with these videos and at the same time I got some new information about the education in the 21th century, it's very useful.

Photobucket Story

A little leaf, which begins its life silently, grows silently and ends its life silently. Almost no one notice it in its whole life. But it gives us many inspirations and speaks so much with its silence. In spring, a new life begins, it grows, gives new energy to the springtime and bring the new hope to the world. It becomes bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger. In summer, it gets to the top moment of its mission. With its body, making the shade for people who are suffering from the strong sunshine. In autumn, it turns color. It gives the most beauty to the world at the end of its life. When it fulfills its mission, with smile and grateful heart it says goodbye to the tree, which it loves the whole life. When it fells down on the ground, it turns itself into soil and gives nutrition to the earth. A Chinese proverb highly praised its spirit: “It turns itself into earth for giving the nutrition to the flowers of next spring.” We can say: a little leaf, but a great spirit! http://media.beta.photobucket.com/user/trooper6356/media/leaves_zps0ac059f3.jpg.html?filters[term]=leaves&filters[primary]=images&filters[featured_media]=1652&sort=1&o=52

Today I visited this website: http://www.esl-lab.com/problem/probrd1.htm I did an exercise of listening. I think this website is good for practicing and improving my listening skills.I will use it again. The listening topic is "Personal Problems". The speed of speaking is good for me, not too fast and not too slowly. And I learned some new words also from this listening, such as, baldness (noun): hair loss; to bring something up (verb phrase): to start talking about something; toupee (noun): a fake hair piece for men; retard (verb): slow or prevent.

I watch the video named music and emotion through time and made a comment: http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_tilson_thomas_music_and_emotion_through_time.html This video is about the classical music: its meaning and evolve along the history. Classical music is a powful silent partner. It creat a new language that speaks very lovingly about who realy we are, and the language is still evolving. Mr.Michael Tilson Thomas talked about the two things in the music: THAT and HOW.Along the history we can see the different whats and hows of the music.
