Peer Review

  First of all, I just want to say thank you to Wenting Zhu AKA: Michele, and Yi Sha for their effort in writing a review for my diagnostic paper. I know I'm not a good writer,and personaly, I can't even stand my own paper. So I know it must be pretty hard to read my paper.
  To me, I know we have to write peer review not just in order to improve others paper, but also we can improve our own writing skills by looking at others paper and avoid their mistake. Maybe is my niceness in me, I often find it hard on writing reviews for others. I always thought that putting a judgement on others paper is not a good thing. Every one put time and effort in their work. Some people might not do it as hard as other's does, but still, they give something in it and I believe it deserves applause.
  I tried my best to be nice in my review to other's. I'm a good writer so sometimes I can't find what's the mistake or what's missing in the eaasy. Thus, when I see something wrong or doesn't feels right to me, I try to point it out in a extremly careful way. I don't want anybody to get the wrong idea about me being a self-righteous man or a man who is just too stupid to point out a mistake. In my point of view, I don't think I have the power or the ability to judge other's work.
  I believe in peer review, but I won't do it unless it's necessary.
 

This is what teacher want us to do, so~~~~



Reflection paper
  The most positive writhing experience for me should be the one when I wrote about my memory about my life in junior high back in China. Till this day, that paper has influenced me in my writing.
  I wrote the article when I was in the first year of high school. It’s more like a journal and mostly is about how I look back in my life when I was in junior high. Frankly, I not the guy who can really write and express my emotion in a composition before this. But all that kind of idea changed since the experience. A video that was made by a dear friend of mine who unfortunately I lost contact couple years ago made me who I am today. It’s not some kind of fancy video that has a lot CGI in it. It’s just a 15 minutes long video with some photos and a background music. I thought this is going to be boring at the very beginning, but I finished the whole video with tears dropping from my eyes. This kind of feeling never occur to me ever before. Then there was a voice deep down in my heart told me that I have to write this down. Back then, it was the only way I know that I can let out my feeling and I still believe it till this day. It’s not like I wrote about how I missed everyone in my class, it’s more like how this very memory made me and my life different.
  From that moment on, I found out that to write a good article, you have to let yourself really into that story because only your true emotion, your true feeling can be the soul of your article. I’m not a good writer, to be frankly, I never would have write an article if it wasn’t an assignment. But what I do know is that if I’m writing, I would give my 100 percent emotion in it, and that is what that paper has guided me till this day.
