I need correction and comments for my IELTS composition from you!(Aug. 24, 2010) Write about the following topic: Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective: Comics Books Radio Television Film Theatre Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples for your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. With the wheeling of time, science and technology today with rapid development provides us an access to the information world, in which it is not only the information itself but also the way to acquire it that matters. Nowadays, there are various media for communication and information exchange, among which, television, in my opinion, is the most effective. Comics carry pictures and few words. it used to be attached most importance to in presidential champion, for those uneducated people which was a larger group at that time also had the right to vote. “I don’t care what these newspapers wrote about me, but my people can read these pictures!” Comics are direct and crisp. They can become a very strong attack to the reader’s nerves. Radio comprises sound but no pictures. Much easier for people to receive information via these sound waves, radio can spread knowledge and news as quickly as sound travels. However, though information can be widely scattered, it is unavoidable that the information carried by sound flips out of the other ear the moment it enters one ear. Fortunately, television has them all----images, words and sound. When a piece of news pops out, subtitled pictures with animation carve in people’s brain; meanwhile, a voice is repeating and verifying the information related. In this way, thus, the news can better be transferred to the mess. Above all, television, a cartoonist, DJ and writer, can be a most efficient and effective way to communicate information.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself I have been learning English for about 10 years and my major is English now. However, because of the limitation of English education on Chinese students, our oral is quite poor, including me. So, I'm here. My pronounciation is OK, but hardly can I express myself clearly in English, probably because I still can not think in English, though I've learned a lot about British culture. I've been living in Shanghai since I was born, which results in my great knowledge of Chinese culture and the rapid development of Shanghai. Music is my favourite. Also I'm a keen Japanese learner. Hope to have a brilliant English-learning journey or say a lovely conversation with you. Hope it help us two^^
