Reading reflection

In Many Cities, Rent Is Rising Out of Reach of Middle Class


Right now, lot of big city's rent was too expensive. Nationally, half of all renters are now spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. This is a bad thing because everyone needs to pay lots of money for other thing. For example, they need pay money for food, children and car payment. They will have too much pressure. Maybe people have too much pressure will affect social security, improve crime and people will be unhappy. Also, I think the government should to control the higher rent. That will help citizen to happy life. The supply of houses is increase because of the high prices but the ability to afford these rents is decreasing. There are a lady devoiced and trying to find apartments in Miami for six months but never get to put out one because of the high costs.

Proverb

An old saying "The early bird will catch worms" reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding, they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties. For example, I was good at English, but I couldn't pass the exam, for I wasn't prepared well before the examination. I had many things to solve at that time. As I met the complex things, I was at a loss. The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didn't study more hard, so I failed. In short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.

Learning Reflection

This week’s class was okay for me because I miss one day of class which supposed to be writing essays in the computer lab. I have learned about how to use adjective clause which tells you how to use which is, that, why, whose, and who. For example, I am going to China, which is a country in Asia. This sentence uses which is a country in Asia to describe China and gives further detail about this object. We also learn about cause and effect essays in class. Cause and effect essay talks about what happen and how it affects other things that happen after that. For example, because I ate the last hamburger, the effect will be that nobody else can eat that hamburger I have eaten. 

Grammar Journal

About this week I feel ok but I have some trouble about subject verb agreement. It has always been a trouble for me because I learn one tense of vocabulary and I use it all the time without changing the tense or anything. It is the word that came to my mind every time when I want to write. I explain it to a friend by using words or other easier words to explain what I mean. They usually understand what I mean when they listen because they don’t have very good grammar either. I use it in paragraphs by writing sentences to explain my example or write my paragraph in general. Sometimes I use he are or she are which are not right because it supposed to be he is or she is. It is hard for me to realize these mistakes until someone else points it out to me to make changes. I think it is hard for someone to grade their own writing because it is the way they write and they think it is right.
