社会、职业与金钱

最近在看新闻的时候，看到这么一则新闻，我想和大家分享一下以及谈谈自己对这几则新闻的看法。 是一篇关于马云。“马爸爸”的阿里巴巴真的是做的越来越好了，淘宝，支付宝，让我们的生活都变得便利了许多。就那我爸妈说，以前买东西他们都会去商场了逛逛。现在想到什么，第一反应就是淘宝。为什么？因为淘宝上的东西便宜，质量也不错，关键是还能帮你送到家。然而，在这则新闻里，马云说了这么一句话，“以前我看不起商人，现在我看不起老师”。马云认为，随着科技在不断地变化，我们的生活质量有了改善，但是，老师教的东西却是一成不变的。然后这则新闻底下我就看到有许多人评论，都在抱怨老师，说老师现在在学校都不教课不教重点，想要学重点，就上补习班。 对于老师教的东西一成不变，我是这么认为的。其实从我们上学到工作，真正学习，是大学的四年，甚至可以说，研究生之前的学习其实都是打基础。幼儿园，我们其实是在学一些生活上最基础的技能以及和朋友之间的相处。从幼儿园开始，我们知道自己有了所谓的朋友，好朋友等等。小学，初中，高中，可以说是在为你的将来打基础。从最开始的加减乘除，到后来的微积分。我想说的是这些所谓的基础，其实能改变的不多。什么叫基础，就是最基本的东西。只有把这些学好了，你才有可能在大学里面或者工作上有一个更好的平台。这里，我并不知道马云所说的“不要几年都教一样的东西”是指哪个阶段？如果是指幼儿园到高中这段时间，我想问问马云，如果是你，你会怎么改变？更何况，中国有中考，高考，如果老师教不同的东西，那意味着每年的考试将会不一样。大学，可以说是进入社会的第一步，因为从这里，你开始有选择，选择自己以后要走的路。从我本身的经历来说，我很负责的说，大学里学的东西并不是像马云说的，几年都教的一样。我是学计算机专业的，大一大二，同样的对我来说，算是打基础，只有基础打好了，你才能做你想做的。我们就学了基础编程，像C，C++语言。然而大三大四，随着科技的进步，我们学的东西也不一样。我们这届学的内容和前几届就不同。教授老师们，会根据科技的发展来改变教学的内容。 其实说到变化，那也是要分情况的。有的东西是需要变化，而有的东西是不需要变化的。科技，因为人们对科技的追求，希望更快更好更方便，才有这个动力去不停地改变，也只有一直变化，才能赚到更多的钱。作为一个商人，不想着赚钱的商人不是一个成功的商人，而马云更是一个做科技的商人...

Blog post 4: Final reflection on learning

Communication skills are so important in our daily life. I am so glad that I chose ES20007 - professional communication this module in this semester. I still remembered when I first time walked in to the class,  Madam Radhika asked me that why did I choose this module and I replied that it is a core module for me, which I have to finish this module in my four year of university education. As the time moves on, I realized that there are so many things I can learn from it. The first major assignment for us was the peer-teaching. We had to teach the entire class how to design survey questions. I am not in favor of presentation because of the language barrier. However, I also understand that be a quiet man will not be a successful man in today’s world. I appreciated Madam Radhika’s encouragement even though I did not do very well.   Besides that, I also learned non-verbal communication. Human being is a brilliant creature, even someone did not talk, but by just looking a...

Critical Reflection (2nd draft)

Critical Reflection Being in ES1102 for about 10 weeks, I have learned many things from Mr. Brad. This is the most interesting English class I have attended, mainly because the way the lessons have been conducted, the American English and there is no comprehension exercises for the entire course. Our class was divided into five different blogging groups. Fortunately, I have three nice ladies with me and they really helped me a lot. I can still remember that our first block assignment was an introduction of ourselves and the English learning journey. Later in the tutorial class, Brad picked up some and started analyze them by asking us that what are the errors in those passages. That part really gave me a very deep impression, because during my high school and junior college time, my teachers never like Brad, who emphasizes the English grammar so much and so detailed. Even there is really a minor error, he would still point out. In the following weeks, once we posted the as...
