2 Make Good Use of Computer? Does computer do more good than harm? ---there are both advantages and disadvantages,but on the whole,computer do more good than harm. I think most of people may answer like this. For example, our teachers often said there are abundant infromation on the internet,and suggest us downloading listening materials,listening to VOA or BBC everyday or watching some english TV series and movies online.Our teachers also said we are a lucky generation because of the widespread use of the internet and we should make good use of it. But to me, computer really bothered me during these days. After my TEM-4 examinatiom, I realized that my english skills including oral speaking,writting,reading and listening are still rather weak and I need to enhance myself.After all,I am a sophoremore now.So, I turned to my computer.I made the following plans: 1 Watch a piece of TED Talk every day. 2 Write my english blog every day.3 Practicing my oral english every day. 4 Read texts one hour a day. In addtiom, I wanted to watch one or two episodes of my Japanese anime Naruto every day. However, as long as I opened my computer, I can't finish all my tasks.Actually,I have lots of spare time cause we have less courses this term.But computer cost me lots of time. I knew that it is because I didnt't have firm sefl-discipline and I spent lots of time watching animatiom and surf on the internet such as my weibo and QQ and forgtt my initial purpose.Failling to finish my tasks made me feel rather terrible. I am thingking that whether I can learn english well without internet.Is it really necessary to learn english by computer if I don't have good self-control? I think it's a bit difficult for people to resrict themselves when they go online as it's hard for smokers to give up smoking.

This was an extremely enjoyable notebook entry. Very well written. Strikethroughts mean I got rid of something you wrote, and bold red means I added or changed a complete sentence to help it seem more natural.

You are a great writer, you just need to be more careful with spelling. Also make sure to put spaces after commas and periods to make it look more professional.

Great job and I hope these corrections help!

2 To Make Good Use of Computer?

Does computer do more good than harm? There are both advantages and disadvantages to them, but on the whole computers do more good than harm.

I think most of people may have this answer. For example, our teachers often say there is abundant infromation on the internet, and suggest we downloading listening materials, or listening to VOA or BBC everyday or watching some English TV series and movies online. Our teachers also say we are a lucky generation because of the widespread use of the internet and we should make good use of it. But these days, computers have really bothered me.

After my TEM-4 examinatiom, I realized that my english skills including oral, writing, reading and listening are still rather weak and I need to enhance them. After all, I am a sophoremore now. So, I turned to my computer. I made the following plans: 1 Watch a piece of TED Talk every day. 2 Write my english blog every day.3 Practice my oral english every day. 4 Read texts one hour a day. In addtion, I wanted to watch one or two episodes of my Japanese anime Naruto every day. However, as long as I opened my computer, I can't finish all my tasks. Actually,I have lots of spare time because we have less courses this term. However, the computer costs me a lots of time. I knew that it is because I didn't have very firm self-discipline and I spent lots of time watching animation and surfing on the internet (such as my weibo and QQ) and I ended up forgetting my initial purpose for using the computer. Failing to finish my tasks made me feel rather terrible.

I am thinking about whether I can learn english well without internet. Is it really necessary to learn english by computer if I don't have good self-control? I think it's a bit difficult for people to resrict themselves when they go online just like it's hard for smokers to give up smoking.

Well, why don't you try some techniques that can give yourself a better self-control? I think that's the main issue here; the computer is just a tool. I was just like you, until I try some methods such as Pomodoro and Get Things Done (GTD) to help me focus on my tasks and organize my priorities, while at the same time reduce my procrastination habit. You can find both of these methods on the internet, of course.
