e-learning blog entry2

first, we need to drink a lot of water, this may sounds ridiculous to you but studies shows that water can give your body the energy to strengthen your immune system.Beside water, garlic is another good food to prevent you from getting a cold.Theres a good recepie: sprinkle some black pepper and salt on the garlic, put it in the oven with 180 degrees for 10minutes, take it out and spread it on the bread!This may not be your favourite dish but it indeed prevent you from catching a cold, a recommandation by me to replace your breakfast to this.

Beside food and water, bring a bottle of hand santitaizer everywhere with you.This is to ensure that your hand is free of germs.Bring a mask if the place you are going is crowed.

home-learning entry 1

1. What are your thoughts about home learning? Is it more effective than learning in school? In my opinion, home-learning is a convinient way to learn,study or/and discuss about our school work on the internet when there's an emergency incident.However, i find out that home learning is not as effective as school learning since some precedures on the internet is lengthy and distractable.For example, theres a lot of games on the internet itself which could distract me when i am doing the online learning.The qualities of our online submission may also be down since it is slow and tiring to type in all the words and numbers.

I think there is not a second more effective learning in school.School gives students for them to study, not like home or king albert park where the enviroment is for people to rest about.In conclusion,i think that home learning is only a temperary way of learning and it is not as effective as learning in school.

e-learning day2

I am neither a crazy fan of poem nor detective storys, but Edgar Allan Poe really catches my attention.Born in America on January 19, 1809,Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre.His detective story is fansinating and i could not stop reading them.This is ironic to me,since i hate detective stories more than any other story types.His poem and story seems to have an unique allurance that attract me to read on.He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; his parents died when he was young.This might be the reason why he writes so many detective and mysterious poem/story, in his poem A Dream Within A Dream, he describes the unreality and the imaginary life of his real life.It gives the reader a little fright since there is a sense of sadness and twisting in it. This is most likely because his parents died when he is young.His mind is twisted and thus he began to write poems of bizzare things like a dream in a dream.It was very ironic that such a good writer have a twisted mind!

Unfortunately,Poe passed away at a mere-age of 40.One generation of great poet and arthur had gone,what leaves behind, are classics like tales of mystery and The Haunted Palace

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


In this poem,the sentence how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep is a personification.The phrases "they creep through my fingers to the deep" vividly shows that the object that he is holding can move on its own,however what he is relly moving is only sand but not something that can move on its own.

I really like this poem, this is because that it is filled with phlosiphy and make you wonder what the arthur is trying to tell you, what is the realy meaning of his poem, a dream within a dream, the plot is interesting,it gives you space to image and think what will happen after the poem and what is the moral of the poem. It is fascinating to read it since this is not unlike some other poem which only describes an object or event vividly, it is half-imaginary,but on the other hand, it also seemed to be real.

I am a doctor in india. I think it is dangerous of them to sell their organs, this can lead to infections of the body that can e fatal too! In my opinion, the best way to stop the illegal act is to raise fund and give it to the poors. This is mainly because that the poors sell their body organs to EARN money. So if they received money from the government, they will have wnough money money to make their living and thus they need not to sell their kidneys. I hope that this idea can work, thank you.

in my opinion, age matters quite much. If we are old, our joint will not worked so smoothly as before and we will not ran as fast as when we are young. It is like a car, when cars get old, it becomes more noisy and need a greater amount of fuel to get it moving. we are exactly the samr as the car. But we are also quite different from the car, for the car, it get dumped as it get old, we will only learn the experenice of it, and to this point, old is actually not a bad thing.
