week #3 reading journal - Mock Mrs mission

 To simulate a mission to Mars, 6 men lived in cramped, window-less compartments for more than 17 months. This experiment was the longest mock space mission ever. They were measuring human responses to the confinement, stress, and fatigue of a round trip to Mars, of cause in weightlessness. The facility was institute for Medical and Biological Problems, Russia’s premier space medicine center, included living compartments the size of a bus, connected with several other similarly sized compartments for experiments and exercise. A real flight to Mars is a distant prospect due to challenges such as creating a compact and relatively lightweight spacecraft that would shield the crew from deadly cosmic radiation.

Week #2 Reading Journal - Project Runway

I read about one of the my favorite TV show call Project Runway. In this show 12 fashion designers who are not famous yet, compete each other and every week one of them leave the project. And last person can create his/her own bland!!!!!  The host of this show gives many tests such as design and make clothes with things that they can buy in the food market or cleat the runway.  Each week, they have to do different tests and famous designer and fashion models estimate their work. It is interesting to watch what they design and show. You should check this!

week #2 Reading Journal - How i study vocab

If there are 50 vobavs that I have to memorise, then I start memorising 6 days before my test. First I divide them in to 5 groups, then I start with group1 on first day. Next day I study group1 and 2. The group 1 is review and I add new vocabs(group2). I continue adding new groups each day, also I review every words. At last, on day 6, i review and test myself with all vocabs. It sounds hard work, but I usualy spend only 10minutes each day before I do to bed. It works for me!

Week No2. Reading Journal - Stereotypes and discrimination

I am taking grobal issuee class and I think the reading from this class is interesting. I think you know the words stereotypes and discrimination. We were tought stereotypes since we were small, and we judge peopele based on that stereotypes or prejudices without noticing. That is the discrimination. This text gave us an example. Becuse African-Americans are considered as violent, people become more nervous than meeting people who have other races. I think those tow words are scary becouse we do them without notising.
