L'étudiant, lassé par ses précédentes techniques d'apprentissage, m'a demandé de lui en proposer de nouvelles. C'est donc ce que j'ai fait, en lui en donnant quatre nouvelles. En tout cas, cette leçon, a l'instar de toutes les autres, s'est très très bien passée.

    Mise à jour : mes progrès Alors, salut tout le monde ! Ça va ? J'avais été très occupé avec mes études en Masters, donc récemment je n'avais pas eu le temps pour étudier le français. Je pense qu'il reste encore peut-être quelque gens qui veulent lire mon carnet, donc je suis désolé. :) Le dernier fois, comme j'ai écris, j'ai fini le défi d'Italki—ç'est à dire que j'ai pris vingt leçons dans seulement six semaines. Ce n'était pas facile, mais c'était très utile pour la développement de mes competences orals. Bien sûr, je pense que je parle bien le français maintenant. Pas très bien, mais assez bien pour converser avec les français, et assez bien pour quelqu'un qui n'est jamais allé en France. Alors, qu'est-ce qu'il faut faire maintenant ? Si j'avais plus de temps… beaucoup de choses ! Mais, pour ce moment je continue à ecouter la radio française et regarder les séries français, et si je ne suis pas trop occupé, lire les livres français. Je pense que je vais peut-être prendre un cours en français ici à l'université en automne. Et aussi, je dois continuer à apprendre le vocabulaire. Bientôt, je vais continuer à écrire des pères de la psychologie. :)

    Students shouldn't pay the full cost of their own university studies

    Nowadays, there are a lot of students having problems with money when they think about going to college. They have to give up their dream to go to college or have to work hard to get money to pay for their studies. So therefore, if the state can provide students to have free higher education, it can help them to live out their dream by going to college and creating their bright furture career. I personally don't think that students should pay the full cost of their own university studies rather than have free higher education provided by the state.

    My first reason is about family issues. Many students that come from poor families, which their parents can not pay enough money for their education. So even though they studied very well in the past, but because of this reason, they have to find some jobs in which don't need study anymore to earn money. Almost of them will be poor people like their parents in the furture.

    My second reason is social issues. When students have the chance to study in the university, the knowledge and quality of working people will be improved. The nation will grow more and more.

    So therefore the state should have free higher education rather than make students pay the full cost of their own university studies.

     

    Bon travail ! Ce n'est pas le cas aux États-Unis, mais peut-être en France ?

    Whew! Finished the Italki Challenge! So, as it turned out, it wasn't easy. By no means would I call it impossible. If you are motivated to learn and spread it out, you should be able to do it. When I made my last post at the halfway point, I hadn't ran into any problems. But things happen. Over the course of my challenge, four lessons had to be rescheduled because either the teacher or I had something unexpected come up, and two lessons were cancelled because the teacher didn't show up (I still haven't heard anything—hope she's all right…). Instant Tutoring saved me. Without being able to schedule a couple quick lessons this afternoon, I would have been sunk. Not because of any lack of motivation or due diligence, but things happen. I think I've come a long way. The first few lessons were terrifying. I had only studied French for a month and I didn't feel prepared at all. But like going to the gym, you quickly realize that this anxiety and fear will turn into progress and satisfaction after you do it. I am nowhere near fluency, but I have become a great deal more comfortable expressing myself with French people, even people I have never spoken with before. I recommend taking the plunge. The next time Italki offers one of these, do it! But keep in mind that you may have to stay on your toes to finish.

    Exercise

    Hello_! Today I ran ten kilometers in the forest. The ground was very wet because of all the rain wich is felt recently. It was not easy because whenever I made a step I had to be careful not to slipping. But the advantage of this rainy weather is that the paths are totally empty. All the joggers stay at home to stay dry and to watch the Olympics on TV_!

     

    Bon travail ! C'est plutôt bon. Mais il faut faire attention aux espaces ! Ce n'est pas un espace comme français. Par exemple :

     

    "Wow! What do you think?"

    "My favorite movies: Jurassic Park, Groundhog Day, Home Alone."

    Learning English Easily

    In France, the government wants to improve the pupils' abilities in English. To reach this goal, which is far from being accomplished, the Ministry of Education wants to develop a different way to learn English. Pupils normally have three or fours hours a week of English. The government would like that teachers who teach mathematics or history do a part of their lessons in English. The goal is to reinforce the vocabulary of pupils and to help them to have more confidence to speak in front of a teacher who doesn't judge them on their English ability. I think that it's a good idea for becoming more fluent in English for the children.

     

    Bonne travail ! Ton anglais n'est pas mauvais. Un petit conseil : il faut toujours capitaliser le nom d'une langue, comme "French," "English," "Japanese." Sinon, tu te debrouilles assez bien.

    What I can see from class

    I am currently in class_; and I have a beautiful view.
    Just behind the glass, there are trees, grass, and a path. I can see stairs, where people are hanging around.
    It's sunny.
    Over the horizon, there is a mountain_ and a village. Above it, I can see some buildings. They are usually prosaic (an "artistic choice," je pense que c'est mieux mais c'est seulement mon opinion), but the sun makes them beautiful.
    Why am I looking through the glass_? Because I can't understand the lesson I am taking. I can't concentrate.
    It's sunny, and I want to go out.

    At 4:30 PM_; (GMT+1), in 20 minutes, I will be able to speak on Skype, feel free to send me a message to ask me my ID, if you are a native English speaker.

     

    Comme des autres ont dit : c'est poetique ! Très bien comme toujours, Julianne, mais il faut faire attention aux espaces ! Je pense que les regles sur des point-virgules ( ; ) sont aussi differentes en anglais. Peut-être tu devrais lire sur ça. De façon génerale, c'est mieux si on ne les utilise pas.

    Rheology- Part 2

    * A rheofluidifiant or pseudo-plastic fluid
    This type of fluids is the case with polymers in solution. The viscosity decreases when the gradient of speed increases (as a function of y=1/x)

    * A shear thickening fluid.
    This fluid is not common. It is the opposite of a pseudo-plastic fluid: the viscosity increases when the gradient of speed increases. It is the case with some honey.

    * A viscoplastic fluid
    In this case, the flow takes place only for some values of the constraint to give on a fluid called yield stress. After this constraint, the fluid has the behavior of a rheofluidifiant fluid.
    But, some materials have after the yield stress the behavior of a newtonian fluid. It is the case with the mayonnaise for example.

    So for non Newtonian fluid dependent on time, we need to talk about thixotropy. And that is more complicated.

     

    Très bien comme toujours, Marie !
