11/28 Free Writing (Learning Attitude)

       My elective two English Courses let me understood an important concept in this week, that is “keep a good attitude to learn everything”. So I thought might this a problem why my English ability could not had obvious progress compare with other self-ability, learning English could not got instant results, so the perseverance and method are important key points, a teacher taught us, we must very serious establish self English study plan, and did not want to caught every points, just executed step by step, and keep executing exhaustive, so English ability would had obvious progress. Another teacher said, learning English should had comprehensive plan, like “Whole Language” learning, didn’t just emphasize only one aspect, and then ignore other aspects, because each other has the relationships, that just is the right attitude that learns English.

      Meet these two teachers to really let me feel to rejoice very much, because they all taught us of the decisive learning attitude.

      這星期兩堂英文課讓我了解了一個很重要的觀念,那就是保持良好的學習態度,我想這也許是我自己英文能力一直沒辦法像其他能力一樣進步的原因,學習英文並不會有立竿見影效果,所以恆心跟方法是很重要的關鍵,一位老師跟我們說,我們必須認真的規劃自己學習的目標,不用急進,一步一步來,並且徹底的執行,如此一來英文能力就會顯著的進步.另一位老師提到,學習應該全面性的規劃,不要只偏頗於一方面的進步,而忽略了其他能力,因為彼此之間是有關聯的,這樣才算真正的學習態度.
      遇到這兩位老師真的讓我覺得很慶幸,因為他們都提到關鍵的學習態度.

Why did I choose my major (final)

      I chose Electrical Engineering (EE) as my major due to my father's suggestion. Because EE was a main industry in Taiwan, so my father thought that majoring in EE might help me to have a stable job in the future.

      In the beginning, I did not have any interest in EE because what I had learned before were traditional courses such as motor circuit or electric circuit. I was more interested in the computer knowledge. When I went to the NTUST to study, we learned more high-tech electrical engineering knowledge. Unlike the motor knowledge of the past, we learned relatively such as the micro-computer technology that combines both hardware and software design knowledge, because EE is my major, so I have been in touch with hardware knowledge many years, that is not difficult to me, but computer program design are more strange for me. Then I started to get in touch with the computer program design, the concept of program design is very funny, first I need to plan how many functions I want to design in my mind, second I start to implement these function just use program language, In the beginning the program code(functions) was very simple. When I deployed the code on the execution environment, I could saw my program how to drive the hardware to work, for example like LED twinkle have the sequence or display number on the signal panel, that was so fascinate to me, so I wrote the code more and more to practice my program design ability, I want to design a more complete functional application program, finally in a micro-computer course final-term project, I designed a simple calculator use a chip 8255 and some peripheral hardware combine program ,this project help me get good grade at this course.

      The firmware or micro-computer program design are very interesting thing for me. I think I will focus on my study on the technique development of the firmware. Now I have a passion for this choice very much.

       this is my first time write "Free Writing" in this blog, I think to write some viewpoints that are since these days, yesterday was the last day that my institute examination examines to check the data, inclusion:the autobiography, studying plan, the research plan, so I very happily hand in these datas, because prepare these datas lets me spend a lot of time, effort.the purpose of the end is to obtain the admission,so..next step is wait for the result be posted.

I was more interested in the computer knowledge, when I went to the NTUST to study, we learned the more high-tech electrical engineering knowledge, unlike the motor knowledge of the past, we learned relatively the knowledge of incline the micro-electronics, I started got in touch with the program design,
that was a kind of from have no to have of design concept, I very like such feeling, I never thought the program combines the hardware was a very interesting thing, I would went toward the technique development of the firmware, now I have a passion for this choice very much.

Independent learning - how to use online resource learning English

      Learning English and how to use online resource help us keep learning English by yourself, most of the time, we usually study English through the ways of listen to radio, goes to the cramming class, read the magazine. the invention of the network, bring very great convenience to people, we can find a lot of resources to use from network, these resources also include the English self-study resource, so we learn English, and not necessarily need to choose the expensive way to learn, As long as we use to search the engine, any free learning resource we all can find out at any time. for example, we can go on-line listen to the BBC Learning English, there is full item can help you practice your listening, reading, writing, speaking ability, and you can go to "The OWL at Purdue" to make your English Writing better, if you want to travel, you can go to "Travlang's Language and Travel Resources" to use their translate engine, help you translate some word to difference language, and maybe you can get some travel knowledge in the web-side, so who say learning good English must spend money.

I was more interested in the computer knowledge, until I start get in touch with the program design, that is a kind of from have no to have of design concept, I very like such feeling, I will go toward the technique development of the firmware ,now I have a passion for this choice very much.
