Read the summary carefully and answer the following questions:
1. What do you like best about your peer’s summary? (Why? How might he or she do more of it?)
I like Paul’s summary which is clear and formal. It is easy to understand.

I think it is really clear and he also cites it correctly.

3. Is the thesis of the original essay clear in the summary? (Write out what you think that thesis is.)
Yes, it is clear in the summary. I think that thesis is “A young man had admire a sports car and told his father that he wanted to get one in the graduation day.

4. If you have read the original source, did you identify the same thesis? (If not, how does it differ?)
Yes, I can identify the same thesis.

No, I think his summary include whole key points.

No, he didn’t add any of his own opinions. He followed the original article.

7. Did your peer include any unimportant details in his or her summary? (If so, what are they?)
No, I don’t think there are any unimportant details in Paul’s summary.

8. Were any points in the summary lost? (If so, where and how might it be fixed? Why do you think it might be important?)
Yes, I think he miss the topic sentence. For his first sentence “A young man had admire a sports car and told his father that he wanted to get one in the graduation day”, I think it is thesis. I think there is a miss before this sentence.

How do you change school culture?-summery

School leaders have some laments for school culture. It is not easy to change because the policies and procedures are deeply embedded. But cultural change is challenging and time-consuming. It is not only possible but necessary especially stakeholders who use the word "culture" to block leadership initiatives, stifle innovation, and maintain the status quo. There is a discussion about how to change the culture of schools and also have four essentials when it comes to lasting cultural change.

Click-final

Watching TV programs and films is a major habit for people nowadays. Some of TV programs and films will give people inspiration, but some won’t. I saw a film named Click. Although it is a comedy, it give audience some ideas.

Click is an interesting and funny film. The actor Adam Sandler uses his own way and abounding body action to make the character become funny. This film is about a man who was an architect and had a busy life with work. Although he spent much time on work, his boss did not notice his dilligence. He was disappointed because he worked hard and did not have time to accompany his family. The entire thing he wanted to do was buying a remote control which was all-round. This remote control not only could change channels, but also could change life. When the leading man got it, he moved himself to a happy situation when he faced frustration. Because of this, his work became more successful, but he also missed something such as the time with his family. In the end of this film, he realized he did not control the remote control but the remote control controlled him. He also knew that everything is not perfect.

Through this film, I really know about many things. Everyone wants to have smooth life including the leading man of this film. But everything is not favorable. If it is smooth without working hard, people can not learn the experiences and gain knowledge. It is more important and attentive to do well during the process rather than to get the result. We have to appreciate and hug our life because life makes us learn a lot and become strong.
