    Encouragement for self-education

    独学のススメ


    Looking back now on my previous experiences resulting from a poor learning curve, From a view point of my poor life experience, I begin to think that most of the people who have mastered things to a high level in a very short period of time were learning by themselves, not in school.

    私のそれほど長くない人生経験から言わせてもらうと、物事を短期間で高いレベルに到るまで習得した人たちの多くは、学校で習うのではなく独りで学んでいます。

    And, that those kinds of people say that self-education is the best study method.

    そして、そうした人たちは口々に独学が最も優れた学習方法だと言います。

    Ultimately, motivations for learning are personal.

    学びの動機とは究極的には個人的なものです。

    It's obvious that studying at your own pace is more effective.

    自分一人のペースでじっくり勉強する方が効率が良いのは明らかです。

    *If you are not inclined to learn more or continue without going to school education, you get the issue wrong.

    学校に通わないと学ぶ気がおきない、続かないという方は問題を取り違えています。

    Do you really want to learn or just want to be seen learning?

    本当に自分は学びたいのか、それとも周囲に学んでいる姿を見せたいだけなのか。

    Except fields which requires Given the exception that some fields may require educational equipment, teaching ourselves on the internet will become more and more common.

    教育設備が必要な分野を除いて、インターネットで自学自習するのがますます一般的になるでしょう。

    A new age of self-education seems to be just around the corner.

    独学の新時代がすぐそこまで来ています。


    Thanks for reading, correcting and giving me suggestions!^^

    Hallo! Good thoughts on this topic, I seem to very much agree because thats what I do these days to help learn with my hobby of learning languages. I agree that items through the internet provide as encourgement with whatever youre learning these days whether its email, chatrooms/live chat, social networks or even websites like italki!! I think its because the internet is now is probably highly regarded as an vital instrument of interaction, communication and socializing. Not only this but it is highly resourceful because it functions as a medium between people who want to gain knowledge and the people who can provide this. Because it serves as a connection between people and information, people now have the additional option of resourcing themselves as well as interact and engage to improve their skills/abilities. In the past we only had books without much room for improvement but now the prospect of putting our skills into action provides as encouragement or purpose towards our goal of learning.


    I really enjoyed talking about this topic!! You didnt have many corrections needed, your english is great! Although I didnt understand the sentence where I put * about the issue. But I probably would have written something like: "Like anything, self-education also requires motivation, if you arent inclined to learn more or dont have a stimulus for education then there is no enthusiasm and the drive to self learn begins to die". or something like that. Anyway carry on writing great topics =}

    life is like what What is life like?

    Life is like a circle.We started from a meaningless dot. We then Than we followed in other people's footsteps others' steps learning to speak to lrearn chatting, pretending and many other skills…Later we realized that if we want to get something we need to be powerful enough. So we begin began to seek wealth and fame.Many and many years later, when we look at review the past,we find found that we are wrong. We have changed our youth into money and power. Why? What's it for? We think that this is thougt it is right when we are in fact ignorant. As the time goes on rolling around, we beging to changed our minds. We started to think about the true meaning of life and how to live. Finally Findly, we realized that our actions have what we have done is only been following previous generations generational rule. We are not living for ourselves. We have walked an entire forward one by one on the big circle without even thinking brain. We need to change!
    (PS:I am in blue now and have almost gone alomst crazy from for the job hunting.God bless me !!)

    不错我同意!祝你好运 :)

    correct please

    This is a true story about a promotion at work. It's a real story about appointed in the work. I witnessed withesed this event: in the administration administrator institution where I work, a collegue was appointed the position of director. It happened so suddenly, quickly and easily . But if you think about it, a the promotion is normally a always consequence of a responsibility responsible and demonstrated hard work. Do you agree with me? Our new director is very young. She is 23 years old.

    Yes I totally agree with you!! Im 23 and I'm still at uni!! I'm pretty sure this is a result of "special favours" definitely unrelated to work!

    Do your think teachers are being replaced by computers?

    Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is quickly playing an imperative role as a in teaching aide in schools and other educational institutions. Increasingly As more and more subjects can be taught via computers and as a consequence there would seem to be lesser and less fewer need for teachers are required to be present, as independent learning will be are encouraged with the assistance of a computer. Currently the issue of whether teachers will be replaced by ICT is widely discussed currently by professionals people in both the private and public sectors.
    It is true that self-study and autonomous learning using technology is a means of learning that can be highly effective for practice drills, the study of factual knowledge, or for pure rote memorization. For instance, computers help students solve math exercises and memorize historical facts. Additionally, online teaching on many occasions not only can optimize the costs for schools by increasing teacher-student ratios, but it also enables individuals to study almost anytime, anywhere, which really makes learning more convenient and flexible. It would therefore appear seem that teachers are becoming more and more redundant.
    In the meantime however, crucial elements have to be taken took into account with regards to ICL and teaching. Firstly and foremost, students are not supposed to be passive receptacles of theoretical knowledge and true education should not be confined to the delivery of information. It should instead involve the cultivation of effective learning habits and as well as developing vital communication skills through the development of group discussion and student-teacher interaction skills as well, which can not be found in online courses. There are discussions As a matter of fact that imply good teaching takes place is derived from when the learning is directly associated with our emotions and our learning capabilities. There is no doubt that only As a higher educated and accrediated individual, it is assumed that the teacher with the necessary skills and qualifications function to deliver knowledge, experience and can communicate wisdom in order to develop instill high moral values, and which will to encourage one to think creatively and critically.
    Without suggesting that the technology is incapable of its purpose entirely worthless, I believe the task of schools is to strike a wise balance between ICT and teaching. Only by further developing the way in which way we effectively manage our school and the technology, can we make ensure that teachers can benefit from the inherent advantage that technology holds in the transmission of information. In conclusion All in all, ICT will never replace the teacher, it will only make him or her more important.

    Hi this short answer question is very interesting! Your answer is concise and to the point, it seems that you personally (strongly) do not agree :) Your answer does consider both views, that is advantages and disadvantages of ICT which is important when answering these questions because you should write objectively not subjectively. Your last sentence "ICT will never replace the teacher..." is a very strong point of view and should be reserved for casual writing. When writing formally, e.g. essay or exam questions, keep in mind there should be no "I" however in this case the question is asking for your opinion which is ok. Also be careful when you start to make "factual statements" without actual evidence. In university, scientific-based reports, writings, essays etc. require you to ALWAYS provide evidence (i.e. citing your resources/references) to support what you are saying, and not just because the information is generalized. For example "As a matter of fact, good teaching takes place when the learning is directly associated with our emotion" that, I'm sorry to say may have caused you to fail in a science report because without doing continuous studies and providing evidence there is no proof that it is indeed a fact. BUT this is NOT a scientific essay so thats ok, I think next time instead of using words that are generalized just substitute with "may" or "would seem" E.g. instead of "it is true that self study..." use "it may seem that self study" because how can you possibly prove that is true?? anyway i hope this helps!! 加油!!

    tell you who am I A little about myself

    My name is Dong Shiwei, I come from Henan Xuchang. I am 24 years old this year. I graduated from the Anyang Institute of Technology College in June this year majoring in and my major is computer software development, but. I love the Internet, I like web development, web promotion and being in the network world. I have met many good teachers and helpful friends, we talked about everything. After I graduated,I started work in a hair products factory--rebecca, my main job is in production management. But I don't like my job now, I it feels like a secretary. I think I'd be better off be engaged in computer software development or corporate network set up. I hope that I can be sent abroad soon and maybe then my English level can be improved faster very quickly.

    thanks for you!

    你的英文不错,加油!

    The ways of Celebrating the Christmas between in the US and South Korea.2-2

    Food

    Koreans don't have Christmas roast turkey, instead they have Christmas cakes.

    In western culture, Christmas is celebrated as a religious day and more of a family thing, whereas but here in Korea, Christmas is more like a lovers' day just rather like Valentine's Day as observed in western culture. Many of the young Koreans should would either be with their girlfriend or boyfriend on Christmas day, meaning That means that family gatherings is are very rare. So it would be becomes a frustrating day for those who are single; many young Koreans therefore try to go on have blind dates meeting even up till before Christmas because of that. Actually, on Christmas Eve, the streets and the restaurants are filled with couples and lovers.


    To sum it up, yes South Koreans do celebrate Christmas!

    Christians who form the 30% of the Korean population go to church and conduct special service, go caroling etc. similar to that of western culture. (same as in western culture.)

    And as for non-Christians, it's a very romantic holiday in on which lovers express their love for each other.

    This is a very good piece! Very interesting to hear about your culture :) From the way you wrote this, it sounds very casual so I have corrected with words and phrases that I would use if I talked with a friend. However, because this piece seems to not only describe differences but ALSO similiarities between the western and eastern culture there are a lot more descriptive words that can be used as a means to compare and contrast (as you would write more formally e.g. in an essay). A good example is the last two paragraphs (which sounds like a summation or conclusion), you can easily form a conclusion, that is directly explaining how the celebration of Christmas is different and similiar by adding words such as: on the other hand, which in contrast to, in comparison, similiarly to western culture....etc

    E.g. Western culture is reflected in two distinct ways that Christmas is commonly celebrated in Korea. Depending on the religous status, Christians perform traditional rituals such as attendance to church services and caroling whereas non-Christians tend to celebrate the joy of Christmas in a more intimate manner, namely their lovers.

    Anyway hope this helps and have a lovely Christmas! Aja aja fighting! hahha
