In my opinion, the most important thing what learned in this class is that how to avoid be doubted plagiarism. It’s really different from what I learned in China.  There are a lot of reasons for my opinion. First of all, I have to concede that it’s so easy to get resources from different ways, especially from the Internet. You could be in trouble if you don’t know the right way to cite the sources. For instance, in the article Lives on the boundary, by Mike Rose. She states that the reason why Marita suffered that be doubted that have plagiarism behavior is that she didn’t distinguish her own paper from others. It’s the most important and useful thing when we writing a paper or argument essay. What’s more, I have learned that how to summary a article, however, I think I still more practice to improve it.

It’s very interesting to make the digital story in English class. I couldn’t believe I can make the digital story when the first time saw the video, which the professor shows us. The reason why I choose travelling as my main story is that I’d like to share the story with my friends, which happened in my trip. At first, my script of my digital story is too long to record in 5 minute, and have some grammar mistakes. After the professor gave me some comments and advise, I improve my script of digital story. I didn’t use the software IMOVE before. My teacher and my friends is very patient to teach me how to use it. I use many pictures in my video which I taken during my travelling. In addition, because of there are some conversations in my story I use images that I download from the Internet. As far as I am concerned, my voice and music has been distinguished, but my voice is not totally fluency. If I have other chance to make the digital story, I’d like to write some different thing in my story, talking about some issues what happened around us. Like the digital story of Chaoyi’s.
