语言学Language and Gender

1. First of all, we know that \Linguistics. As a result, before we learn it ,we were supposed to clear about we were going to learn something that related to our social life. Our group have discussed this chapter together. I believe that this chapter gave us very proper explanations to so many situations we had met. For instance, we always have distinctive gender criteria in mind about some terms, such as hero, engineer, doctor and so on. Once we think about those terms, we are surly connect them with man but without a scientific explanation. That is because we only possess the social knowledge but no specific theory. After learning this chapter, I can tell why. Different gender has different way to speak and also different implications. Thus, we could study Linguistics more specific and efficiently.

2. I have always heard about the ways of teaching in western countries are very different from China. After stepping into the college, I can feel the atmosphere of learning and teaching seem to close to the universities in most western countries. That is to say, more free, more practise and more team work. The presentation in front of the whole class is really a great way of strengthening one's confidence. Apart from this, the process of discussing and preparing can not only add communication with your classmates but also give you a kind of responsibility. Besides, team work can teach you group members are one of the necessary part in your study or work. As far as I concerned, the biggest harvest for me through PPT making is confidence and responsibility. No matter what kind of work we will do in the future, the two are always the most important part in our life.

3. Fortunately, every of my group member holds the same idea that I have, that is, responsibility. We have five members in all. Before the final power point was finished, we had very scientific ways to give each of us work to do. For example, Reagan has a great logic thinking, so he was responsible for our comprehensive idea of presentation. Of course, the rest of us also have specific job. Some are responsible for the material, some for the making of the PPT. I believe this kind of method will surely have excellent work at last.
