What you have learnt from this course -->10

After I finished my teaching practices, I do not want to come back in order to study because I was bored about homework and I think it is very difficult because in this course I have to study in Reading and Writing for Academic Purposes II.

First time, I think I can not read and write passages because my poor reading and writing skills and grammar. I like reading but it's not academic reading. Sure, I feel very nervous about how can I read or write. This course has many many assignments such as writing blog, reading passage, presentation and writing what I have learnt. Oh.....It is very difficult for me. " Can I do it?" I always ask myself. But I think I have friends and I can ask them.

Nowadays, I feel very proud that I can read many pages of academic passages and I can write many paragraphs in English that I never do it before and I know lots of new vocabulary. Besides, I get good knowledge of both inside and outside class, academic and non - academic, and everything. This course make me more confident to read and write passages. I have to say " thank you Dr.Usa Noytim very much." She teaches everything such as way of life, way of thinking, and etc. She understands students although she sometimes upset because we are always talkative in class but she forgive us all the time. I do remember her in my mind.

All of these knowledge have benefits to me. I will adapt them for my future teaching. I think I am happy when I am reading and I will keep reading for my life. Thank you teacher.

Concern about global issue -->9

Nowadays, there are many problems affect to our world and human such as racism, health, rising water problem, natural disaster, climate change, etc.

The big problem that I concern is global warming because global warming impact on natural phenomenons and environments. In my opinion, I believe that human is the main cause of global warming. I think all of us aware what happen to our world, we feel the weather are not usually, there are many natural calamity around the world and we can say every country get

Although most of people seem to concern this issue by joining several projects to save the world, some people are still selfish that I can see everyday when I go to university. Some people burn trashes and dried brushes, some people burn their land in order to plant new trees. I cannot understand why they did it because I think in Thailand has good announces many projects to protect the world by using television, video, Internet, etc., but it seem to be not enough.

According to address the problem of global warming, everyone must join together. We should start at ourselves before tell other people. Keep the world before it do not have the world to keep!

Climate change -->8

" Climate change " I think everyone has heard this word but they think it's not important for them because they think it's far from them until they have difficult time to live on the earth.

There are many signal for warning people to concern about climate change such as the higher of temperature. Glaciers is melting and the level of the sea is rising. All of these are result of climate change that there are two main factors to support them. There are natural ecosystems and human's activities. Two of them released many gases in atmosphere such as carbon dioxide(Co2) from using energy in industrial, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) from using CFC’s in refrigeration, and other appliances, and methane(CH4) from agriculture and cattle farming.

In the recent year, many countries faced with lots of natural disasters that make many people concern about them. Therefore, we can see several projects in order to protect the world that we can make it's easy by planting trees, using alternative energies, using cotton bag instead of plastic bags, and using 3R; reduce, reuse and recycle. I believe these way can make our world will be better and liveable again.

Happy New Year -->7

For my new year, My family and I went to my grandparents' house, Nakhonratchasima. I left Ratchaburi at 6 o' clock in the evening on Tuseday, December 30, 2008 in order to avoid traffic jam but we were unavoidable so we had to stay in the car for 12 hours. Oh.....It's very boring for me.



On December 31, 2008 in the morning, my family and I arrived. I was very happy because I did not to stay in the car. When I met my grandparents already, I took a nap until in the afternoon. I admitted I was bored because it's nothing to do. My grandmom and I went to the market for buying foods in order to celebreat New Year. I feel better when I had something to do for our party at night. My cousins arrived in the evening and we started the party with joyfulness and happiness. The following day, my family and my cousins went to the Thao Suranaree Park in order to worship Thao Suranaree or Ya Mo. After that, we went to tourism places in Nakhonratchasima until in the evening we came back home.



In this new year, I was very happy although I was so tired from traveling. We had a good time together. Before my family and I came back Ratchaburi, I said thank you to grandparents for everything and I promised I will come back in the Thai New Year again.

Slave fashion -->6

In my view, fashion is not the clothes but it includes jewelleries and accessories, etc. Fashion is the sign that can show people' s personality. It can show their identity, social role, status, and way of life. Besides, fashion can show the development of social that we can see the difference between old fashion and modern fashion from magazines or our social. I think it is regular when the time changed, everything changed and fashion changed too.

Many people are slave of fashion because they want to be good looking and they have to pay lots of money in oder to be in the latest fashion. They change their clothes in order to look modern that some people do not think about money that they waste or suitable occasions and places. I think fashion is important for me because it can show my style and personality but I do not dress in order to follow all of new fashion. I chose some clothes or some fashion to mix and match for adapting to my style. If everybody know how to dress in suitable way and know how to adapt clothes, they will not waste money to buy new clothes in order to be modern all time.

Therefor, we should wear clothes suitable places and occasions and that clothes are comfortable for us because clothes and identify that who you are.

Let's eat health food-->5

I strongly agree with the point of view because most of people in nowadays usually eat junk food; pizza, hamburger, fried chicken, and etc. These affect to their health. Junk food or fast food can increase the risk of many disease such as diabetes, heart disease, and etc. Besides, many kinds of food are full of chemical substance.

In the past, people had fresh vegetables in their house. They planted them without chemical substance so they had fresh and clean vegetables. In addition, they could find many herbs near their house and they cooked food with many herbs in each meal. Besides, they had to work out for their farm that mean they could exercise everyday. They got good things from nature so there is no doubt that people in earlier times are stronger than nowadays.

So I think we should avoid to eat junk food and return to nature by eating fresh food and heath food. Do not forget exercise at least 30 minutes in a day in order to healthy life.

The Minnesota Starvation Experiment-->4

The In the past, most of people believed that starvation affected only physically but The Minnesota Starvation Experiment indicated that starvation problem impacted on physically and mentally such as the brain, reaction, and emotional.
In my opinion, I think this experiment has lots of benefit for whoever go on a diet or whatever reason because starvation impact on human so we have to consume adequate diet. Although this experiment has benefit, I has little thing that I somewhat disagree because this experiment had the 40 healthy young man to keep the data in order to deal with starvation problem in the war-torn area. I think that in the war-torn areas didn't have only healthy young man. In the war-torn areas were still patients, older people, and children. Furthermore, in war-torn area had many factors depression that can affect whoever in there and I think that it's more affected than this experiment' result.
