The day i entered room 218, the fist thing came to my mind was that this class must be different from other English classes i have taken before.For what i mean different is that this is not a regular English class,because i have never seen any English class with compouters, and the students will allow to online. I think this should be the best English that i have never taken before, we will have a lot of fun in this class. However, we are not just playing on internet, we have to creat our own homepage and work on the website instead other English classes do all of their works by their hands, and share your works with other people. Moreover; we can do research right before we write aobut it.We can find any information from different websties which i can put on my homepage to share with other people.
During this semester, we read two books so far:Always Running by Luis L. Rogrigues. This book is certainly about how a person struggled with his gang memeber's life. The main character was a foreigner, he had a hard time when he first came to L.A.,even his family. He jonined the gang when he was a little boy, and he spened about ten or more years with his gangmates. During his gang member's life, it was kind of terrible of his history. He did all the horror that is possible with his gangmates. The other book i have read in this class is "Giovani's Room". This book has similarity with Always Running. Both characters have to deal with their hard time duing their young age. In this book the character is struggling with his sexuality. He had first experience of homesexualy relationship with his friend in his teenage. Later on he moved to Paris where he met Giovani. He is engage with a lady while he meets giovani. He was so scary to be a homesexual that he doesn't want to face it. However his friend told him not to avoid the truth which he likes Giovani. He has really hard time to struggling with his felling.
In this class, we not just read the books, we also work with the articles on the internet too. One of these article is Response to Lincoln's Article. This article briefly describe a education high school boy who wants a different experience in his life at his age. Therefore he attented the school which is worst than he has by his curious.
And the other article that we wrote response to is Eleven by Sandra Cisneros.
Another best part in the Cyber English class is working with my social action group which is F.A.A.D.(Fight Against Age Discrimination) All of the social action groups we have in this class are all relate the social justic. We talk about the factual problem in the world. I believe if i am in other regular English, i won't have chance to do this instead reading the books and writing on the papers. Therefore; I think it is gteat to write your thoughts and views about the world to share with other people, and you will have great feeling that you tell your ideas and thoughts to other unknowing people about the social justic.
I have been in this Cyber English class almost a semester,and I have learn a lot since. When I came in this class, i didn't know how to creat own website, but now i can do really well on my homepage.Only know this is not enough for being in this class, so i hope to learn more about using the computer so you can work on it in order to share your stuffes to other people. For me the Cyber English is much better than the regular class, because you can share and learn thing with other people immdely.
