A. Write about a recent movie you have seen that you enjoyed, and why you liked it.
Recently, I saw this movie called "Me Before You." This is an inspiring movie about a girl who has a different kind of relationship with a recently-paralyzed man. At the end, though the girl tried to convince the man to continue living, he still chose to die because he was paralyzed and couldn't do the things he loved to do - sports. I like this movie because it tells us that we should cherish every moment of our lives before we lose them.
"You only have one life, it's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible." -Me Before You 2016

B. Write about a learning goal you have for yourself over the next year.
I would like to read "The Book Thief." I bought this book a few months ago because I saw that the book was a best-selling book, but when I opened the book and wanted to start reading it, I found that I had to check a lot of words up in the dictionary and it's kind of annoying since I couldn't finish one paragraph without looking up hard words every two or three lines. I hope I can start reading it over the next year because my cousin told me that the book is really good and I can't wait to read it myself.

C. What effect do you think playing sports has on learning? How much do you think the mind and body work together? 
I think the mind and body work together, and when your body performs well, so does your mind. For example, after dancing practices I feel that my mind works better since my body starts to be active. To me, I feel that people should not only use their minds, sometimes the body helps too.

D. What effect do you think playing a musical instrument has on learning a foreign language? What are some things you have noticed about good language learners? 
I think the effect is that when playing a musical instrument, you need to have patience because you need to learn from the basics first, and then start to build up strategies. For example, you'll need to know how to play the instrument first, and the the major and minor keys. Also, your mind and hands needs to be working at the same pace, so you'll have to think about two things at the same time. This is the same as learning a foreign language, so you need to think about two languages at the same time and translate it.

E. Would you be willing to use an audio book plus a PDF file to read any of the following books next semester?
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Lord of the Flies
- Lord of the Rings
I would prefer reading from a physical book because I think it gives me more of a reading feeling, though I do think that maybe we could have some audio books in our classroom computer so that we can just listen to the audio book if we want to. A PDF file would be great because sometimes I forgot to bring my book home, so with a PDF file, I can just read the book in front of the computer.
