The advantage and disadvantage of using electric dictionaries

BY SIMON JIANG

Hi everybody,today I want to analyze the advantage and disadvantage of using electric dictionaries.Because nowadays more and more students use electronic dictionaries instead of ordinary dictionaries, The discussion about using electronic dictionaries has been popular these years.

Let's have a look at its advantages and disadvantages first.The most important advantage of an electronic dictionary is that it’s very convenient to use. Whenever you meet new words or expressions, you can know the meaning quickly.You don’t need to waste much time turning the page seeking for the new words . What's more, electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more advanced: they can pronounce the words clearly, provide sample sentences to illustrate word usage and store difficult words for special memorization.Thats special function may help you remember some new words with high efficiency .Last but not least, the designing of electronic dictionaries are more and more portable, and they are easy for students carrying.

 However, the negative effects are also obvious. First of all, students may rely too much on the electronic dictionary—they never put their heart into learning new words and expressions. secondly, some explanations are neither complete nor accurate, which are quite misleading. Finally, the convenient ways do not necessarily lead to progress in learning. Diligence is always the decisive factor, because "there is no royal road to learning".

 Up until now, we can see it clearly that an electronic dictionary is not beneficial or harmful in itself. The key lies in the user—so long as we can make proper use of it, it can be helpful to us in many respects.So no matter what kind of dictionaries we used,we shall remember the new words as soon as possible after searching them.

How to have a perfect body

By Chih Hao Wu

Everyone likes good-looking because it may attract the opposite sex. I have a dream. I want everyone have dream body. I have been learning workout about four years, so I have long experience. I learned how to train, how to eat, and how to do aerobic exercise, let it has maximum effect. Actually, I do not have any license, but I think it is enough to teach how to keep perfect body. I try to make easily to understand.

What is body fat? It is how much fat in your body. It can let you look like thin, slim, plump or fat. I have some photos to show you what different about body fat10% to body fat50%. Which are you? Which do you like? Go to your dream body is not difficult if you follow my instruction. That is why I keep my body fat about 10%-15% is easy.

What is aerobic exercise? It usually has regular breathing. It likes swimming, running, biking, dancing, jogging, mountain climbing, yoga. They are all good aerobic exercise. How to do effective aerobic exercise? 45-60minutes before you do aerobic exercise. You have to eat some simple carbohydrate food like fruit, toast, bread, cereal, milk, and soymilk. Make sure to have carbohydrate. Because carbohydrate is important in human body like car must have gas. You must have enough carbohydrate. The fat will burn. Therefore remember this. Empty stomach exercise must make you become very very fat. Do not empty stomach to do exercise. I usually eat banana, milk, soymilk, wheat toast, or sport beans before workout. While you are doing aerobic exercise, keep drink water and some simple carbohydrate. How long is the best way to do aerobic exercise? 30 minutes to 60 minutes. 30minutes is the minimum limit because after 30minutes, the fat just starts to burn. 60minutes is the best time to burn the fat.  How intense aerobic exercise is enough?? The intense is talk about heartbeat rate. The heartbeat rate has to keep 120 heartbeat rate/minutes and continue 30minutes to 60minutes. 120 heartbeat rate/minutes is easy to keep. If you want to reduce the fat quickly. The best way is keep 160 h/m or above and continue 1 hour. If you want to reduce the fat effortlessly, keep 120 h/m and continue 1 hour. So it depends on what you want. 

I am happy to teach how to reduce fat. If everyone has any questions about reduce fat and want to know more detail, I am glad to explain anything what you want to know. Actually, I think I can keep 10%-15%body fat is 50% workout and 50% what you eat. Therefore some people said you are what you eat. Maybe next time I will announce how to eat every day.

Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart)

by: M . Almukhayzim

      There are several concepts for intelligence depending on the multiplicity of functions and many its constituents. Dr. Howard Gardner has identified eight intelligences and proposed a ninth that he is currently researching: the Existential Intelligence. My type of intelligence is Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart).

      Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart) is one of the nine intelligence. It is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and derationing one’s life.  Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition.  It is evident in psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers.  These young adults may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated. For example for Persons with Intrapersonal Intelligence: Eleanor Roosevelt, Plato, Helen Keller and Joan of Arc.

      This is also true for me. I am always setting my goals. I am thinking about what I want? and I am planning about how I can get that I want. I have self- confidence which make me to go ahead and to face difficulties. In addition, I have full independence in my thought. For example, I have ability to make decisions and to solve my problems.

      In conclusion, self smart people are comfortable with themselves and are knowledgeable about their strengths and weaknesses because they do self-reflection. They may like to be by themselves to think through a problem. They may daydream about their future, keep goals both short-term and long-term to accomplish, and try to do things to grow as a person. For me I often understand myself, and I try to improve myself. Actually, I feel so happy when I make something amazing.

Facebook and children

by Abdulrahman Alessa

   

Each family has different motives for their children to use Facebook. On the one hand, the parents who never use Facebook, or they do not have enough knowledge about Facebook usually do not allow to their children to use Facebook. On the other hand, the parents who have a lot of knowledge about computers allow their children to use Facebook at early age. Each side has many benefits; however, children should not be allow to use Facebook due to, psychological, physical, and mental aspects.

    The first reason of evidence of why Facebook is not good for children is psychology and there are three areas. First of all, Facebook makes children feel depressed. For instance, children obtain the depressed faster than adult, so children should not use Facebook. Also, it could result in a change in how they communicate with other people. Secondly, the rage of using Facebook it might bring health problem children. Occasionally, according to one India news that Teens who use Facebook more often show more narcissistic tendencies while young adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies. Furthermore, children will share and see many things that not allow for people in this age. Thirdly, another problem with Facebook that teach children to be loners with no realizes. To illustrate, they will use Facebook to fallow or to look everyone lift does not matter he knows or not. For example, one of my friends every day stays on Facebook from 3-6 hour, and he never gone to anywhere. To sum up, Facebook has several things that make us should not allow to our children to use it which are make the children feel depressed, make them obtain the anger faster than normal children, and make them loners.

     The next piece of evidence that made Facebook harmful to children is physical and there are three different major. Firstly, children in the earlier age needs to sleep more hour than adult, so using Facebook will make them stays longer and causes less sleeping. To illustrate, as a result from scientific research children who stay on Facebook or play video games for a long time and they do not take enough time for sleeping, usually will not participate in class. Also, children will feel exhausted and will not pay attention in their class, so that make them obtain less grade. Secondly, a child is more vulnerable of dermatology than else such as hand injuries, and Facebook is the fastest way to obtain these diseases. For instance, when children use public computer in school or library, they do not realize how many bacteria in the keyboard. For example, researcher took one keyboard from public place and toilet to find out which one has more bacteria after many tests they found out that the keyboard has more bacteria than toilet. Lastly, eyes problem one of biggest suffer for children. To illustrate this point, children do not care about their health spicily eye because they can stay as much as they can with Facebook, and they do not now about the adverse effects to their eyes from the screen flash. Additionally, the mobility from one page to another in Facebook, and watch video might cause eye keratitis. To summarize, Facebook is felled to children in several way such as less sleep, infectious diseases and eye diseases.

     The last justification that shows us Facebook is not health and safe place to children is mental and there are three areas which are greatly impacted. To start with, Facebook will push children to conduct that activity in a place or time when a parent cannot watch them. For instance, children usually do something and do not think about the consequences, so Facebook can leads them to do these bad things. For example, there was one German girl put invitation in Facebook for her friends and everybody. While her parents were outside, the party started and there were over than 3000 person outside the house, so that made a lot of noisy to the neighbors and haul area. After that police came, then they called her parents to come and they found their house in miserable situation. Second, children might know people in Facebook have a record. For instance, children and teens might know drug dealer, or they might read about people comments that explain specific thing about drug or what they feel when they try it, so children will want to try this drug. Additionally, researcher found that children who use Facebook are more affect to alcohol then else. Third, children who overuse Facebook have less social relations. To illustrate, parents teach their children how to respect and how to keep the relations between friends and family, but Facebook does not because when they use Facebook and other sites they will learn to break up from people very fast. For example children are very sensitive, so when they put their picture or comments that everybody can share some of them makes jocks or bad comments that will make children feel disappointed, and it might change their behavior. In sum, Facebook is cause bad rational to children, which are Facebook will push children to conduct that activity in a place or time when a parent cannot watch them, children might know people in Facebook have a record, children who overuse Facebook have less social relations.



My Trip to America

My Trip to America

 

By; ABDULRAHMAN ALSHEHRI

           My first trip to America was in fall of 2012. As soon as I got married, my wife and I were planning to travel to America for the purpose of study. Since that time when we decided to travel, we began to gather some information about the place we were going and the required procedures to get there like a travel visa and airline tickets. When we arrived to the United States, so many things surprised us.

            First of all, the rules and regulations here in the United States are different to a certain extent from what we had in our country. For example, the driving roles in the United States allows people to drive their cars at age of 16 and over, while in my country, the people can drive at age of 17 and over. Another thing was very great is the traffic regulation on the street, where there are specific lane for pedestrians to walk through and specific bikes lane for the bike riders. Further, the transportation system in the United States is very awesome. There are different ways of transportations including busses, cabs and trains that were running within a limited time schedule. Moreover, one of the things that I was surprised at is the gas station. In my home country, I have a person who fills up my car with a fuel, but in the United States, I had to do it myself.
 

            During my stay in the United States, specifically in California, I found that the weather was little hot at the beginning, but few days later with the entry of fall, it became cooler. Also, in a couple of days back, the climate was very nice and rainy. However, in the other states of America, the weather was too cold and it might be worse during the fall and winter seasons, especially the northeast part of America. Among all the states of America, I found that California is the best place to stay. In addition to the great weather and climate, the most beautiful attraction sites are here in California. For example, Disneyland in Los Angeles, San Diego zoo, wax museum in San Francisco and the Grand Canyon.
 

Also, the food and restaurants in the United States are different than those in my country. I found that the most popular food in America was fast food, especially hamburgers. However, there were so many different kinds of food and restaurants that we could have, for example, Indian restaurants, Japanese restaurants, Mexican restaurants, Italian restaurants and Arabian restaurants. Due to the presence of multicultural people in America, there are different kinds of food. Besides, everybody could buy his/her favorite food from the super market, so that they can cook it at home in the way that they like.
 

Another thing, which is very interesting to mention here, is the education in the United States. The education system in America is considered one of the best education systems all around the world whether from their high qualifications or their proficiency in teaching. Furthermore, the Universities in the United States give the students many choices for majoring in different subjects and they also give the chance to the international students to complete their post-graduate studies in different specialties. Also, for English language learners, America is a good choice to learn English from native speakers even if there are another countries that their first language is English like the United Kingdom and Australia, I prefer to be in America. In fact, the school environment in the United States is very unique and attractive for the international students to study.
 

            In conclusion, I would like to say that my trip to America was a great idea. Although there are so many things different than what I had in my home country, I really felt that I was enjoying and doing good with every thing like the rules and regulations, education system, environment, climate, life style and types of food. Finally, I would recommend anybody who wants to study abroad to come to the United States, because in my opinion he/she can enjoy every thing and receive an excellent education.
