Happy Reading and Writing for Academic Purposes II Class


After I learn about reading and writing for academic purposes II , I fell happy. In earlier times, I felt nervous and worry about this course. I think that reading and writing for academic, it’s difficult for me. But this course can develop my reading skill and my academic writing skill. I can use different reading strategies in understanding various written texts. I can develop the reporting presentation about global issue and research. I can practice my writing an abstract and a research article.

In the future, I will be the English teacher. It’s benefit for my teaching. I get many knowledge from Aj. Usa. When I made the mistakes, Aj. Usa gave me the advices and the instructions. She is kind and understand the students. She is the best advisor for the students. When this course is finished, and I graduate from Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University. I will miss this class, my teacher, and my friends. This is a good memory for me. Although, in the future, I will work anywhere or I will stay anywhere. I still miss this memories forever.


Thank You, Aj. Usa. Thank You for everything that you gave us.
I hope you happy and healthy. I miss and love you forever.

Concern About Global issue (9)

Concern About Global issue
After I learnt and saw the presentations from my friends about global issue, I think the world has many problem and effect to people. For example, Economy/Trade, Education, Health/Food Security, Human Rights, and Water/Environment.
Global issues is a unique course in that it focuses on a variety of world problems that are current and timely. Some of the issues at hand are more recent such as environmental while others have existed for some time such as poverty.
These issues are important for us. They are the problems of the world. People around the world need to address these problems. If we ignore them, these problems will be increasing. There are ways we can solve about the global issues. For example, we should save environment in the world, save money, save energy, keep your body far away from the diseases, and donate to people in many countries that lack of good things in their life.

Climate Change (8)

Climate Change

I learnt about the article of climate change: managing the global greenhouse. I know the problem of climate change is significant at the present. People around the world realize about this problem and coordinate to address the problem of climate change. Climate change is cause of global warming. Greenhouse gases is increased by global warming. This is the cause of greenhouse effect.

► Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near - surface air and oceans.

► Causes of global warming are burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests. We have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.

► If the Earth gets hotter, these are some of the things that could happen: Sea levels could also rise due to the melting of the glaciers and sea ice. There could be more floods, especially near the coast and rivers. etc.

► People around the world realize about this problem and participate to address this problem. There are ways we can help cut greenhouse gases and help stop global warming. For example, recycle glass bottles, newspapers and tin cans, re-use plastic shopping bags and envelopes, don't get new ones, and don't leave the TV or video on standby.

I think if we love the earth, we should save our world and stop global warming.

Happy New Year (7)

Happy New Year

In New Year Eve, I came back home in Suphanburi. I stayed at home with my family. That day was cold. I was happy and felt relax. My grandfather’s house was in Bangplama, Suphanburi . My relations came from Ratchaburi to my grandfather’s house. My parents and I went to my grandfather’s house in the evening. I prepared the presents to gave my cousins. I gave the bags of mobile to them. We changed the presents to each other. I prepared the movies to saw with my cousins. For example, Mr. Bean and Coffee Prince. We saw the movies together at the living room. Then, we played the computer games. In evening, everybody had dinner together and ate New Year cake. After that, my cousins and I played the fireworks outside the house. The weather was cold. We took the photographs. I was very happy. I felt good when I stayed and did the activities with my family. I rarely met my cousins. We met altogether only special holidays such as New Year Day and Songkran Day. On 2nd January, my relations went to Ratchaburi. We were happy in this New Year Day. I think New Year Day is warm holiday. I had good memories about New Year Day and I will wait New Year Day come in next year.

Slaves to Fashions (6)

Slaves to Fashions

I think fashions are good things and bad things. Good things about fashions are people who wear fashionable clothes. They look modern. They have good looking. They imitate characteristics and cultures from other countries. For example, Korea, Japan, and U.S.A. And bad things about fashions are people who wear unsuitable clothes. They imitate bad characteristics and cultures from other countries. Some fashions from other countries are unsuitable for Thailand. Most girl teenagers wear very short skirts. It’s unsuitable for our curture and it’s danger to them.

I think about people who slave to fashions, it is not good. You may wear fashionable clothes from magazines and internet. You should adapt fashionable clothes with your own styles. Sometimes, the expensive clothes are not suitable. You should mix and match your clothes that you have. You should create your clothes that are suitable with your own styles. You can design the fashions by yourselves.

People in Earlier Times Ate Better (5)

People in Earlier Times Ate Better



I agree with this point. I think that people in earlier times ate better than most people now eat. Most people in earlier times ate a lot of vegetable and fruit. The food that they ate and bought have many nutrients and vitamin. Food in earlier times was more fresh, clean, and healthy. It was beneficial for the body. Their had good immunizing agents to project the diseases. Now, there are many chemicals in food. It is dangerous for the body. Most people in nowadays eat a lot of meat, carbohydrate, and fat. They like to eat fast food. There are many fat in food. That food is bad for the body. People now eat food is less than nutritious food in earlier times. Therefore, people in earlier times ate better food than people now eat. People in earlier times was stronger and had long life.

The Minnesota Starvation Experiment (4)

The Minnesota Starvation Experiment

The Minnesota Starvation Experiment, I got the knowledge about the first clinical study of the effects of starvation on physical and mental functioning. War often causes widespread hunger. The purpose of study is how to deal with starving people in areas of Europe and Asia ruined by the war. The institute is the University of Minnesota. The participants of study are 40 healthy young men entered the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota. The study took place in three discrete stages. The first, the men felt well - fed and full of energy. They participated in university activities. Second, each now allocated less than half the calories he was used to consuming. They had less energy and felt weak mentally as well as physically. Finally, give them food. Their strength came back slowly, and they continued dizzy, confused, and irritable. I know that the psychological effects of food deprivation. Food deprivation has disadvantage for physically and mentally.
