Open Question: What B.A subjects would you take if you were me?

I know exactly what what kind of lifestyle I'd like, but I'm not too sure how to obtain it. I want to busy all the time. I want to be decently paid and working in a city. I'm okay with long hours so long as I'm not self employed. I want a degree that can help lead me into that lifestyle, but doesn't work me so hard that i don't have time to draw and write - my two real passions (although I do not want a job where I have to draw, and I do not want to study English or literature). I don't want to be a journalist, and I've already ruled out law and architecture. A BA majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Art History is most appealing, but probably won't help me into the lifestyle I want. I'm considering politics and japanese, but I'm not too sure what kind of jobs I could get with them, either. All the personality tests i've completed say i should go into law or administration, but the amount of study lawyers have to do doesn't appeal to me, and I'm not too sure if I could handle the responsibility of being an administrator. My skills include debating and arguing, critical thinking, writing (essay and creative), and I'm a fast learner if given proper instructions. I prefer being told what to do than making decisions myself. I'm decent at science and maths, but they're not my favorite subjects. I know I want to go to university to do a Bachelor of Arts, but I just can't decide what subjects would be best for me. This is what I have to choose from: Ancient History | Anthropology | Art History | Asian Studies | Chinese | Classical Studies | Criminology | Dance* | Drama | Economics | Education | Employment Relations and Organisation Studies | English | English Language Acquisition and Linguistics | Ethics | Ethnomusicology* | European Studies | Film, Television and Media Studies | French | Geography | German | Greek (Ancient) | History | Italian | Japanese | Korean | Latin | Latin American Studies* | Linguistics | Linguistics and English Language Teaching | Logic and Computation | Māori Studies | Mathematics | Medieval and Early Modern European Studies* | Music | Music Education* | Pacific Studies | Philosophy | Political Studies | Psychology | Samoan* | Social Science for Public Health | Sociology | Spanish | Statistics | Tongan* | Women's Studies | Writing Studies *Minor only If you were in my position, what subject(s) would you take, and why? more

Open Question: AP calculus or AP Art History?

I'm going into my senior year of high school and am trying to select my classes. Right now I am trying to decide between AP Calculus and AP Art History. I am not dropping math if I take Art History, I will be taking regular statistics instead. I could use some advice. What are the values of these courses as far as college admission is concerned? I'm looking to attend a selective university, but wish to major in the arts (Theatre, film, creative writing). To be completely honest, I think the Art class would be more enjoyable, but some might say getting math out of the way in high school would allow for more arts classes in college? What do you think I should do???? Be honest please; I am not easily offended. more

Resolved Question: Am I overdoing it academically?

The classes I've applied for for next year (junior year of high school) are: AP Language AP US History AP Statistics Honors Physics Spanish 3 Film 3 Creative Writing 3 (I go to an arts school and have to take two classes in my major) I also want to dual enroll for Precalc. Today, though, I thought about adding AP Euro to my courses, and maybe taking Spanish 3 outside of school, either on FLVS or dual enrolling for that as well. I would prefer not to take AP Euro my senior year, and I would hate to miss out on it since I've heard that the teacher is excellent and it's a good class. My parents and friends are telling me that I'm basically committing suicide. While I know that other people have done worse than this, I'm starting to wonder: Is nine classes, four of them being AP, too much? more

Resolved Question: Is taking four summer classes and working part-time too much to handle?

There are two sessions for summer classes at my community college. Each session is one month long. I will be taking Business Law 1 and Statistics the first summer session, and then taking Business Application Software (online) and Creative Voice the second session. Also, I work part-time selling electronics, which is a very easy job. My question to you is: Do you think I can make it alive this summer!? I know that my summer classes will leave me with little to no room for fun and friends, but i have goals to transfer from this community college very soon. Thank you for your advice! more

Resolved Question: I just graduated college, but I feel dumber than I was 4 years ago. Why?

I just graduated with a B.A. in psychology, but I don't really know anything about psychology and lost interest in it toward the end of my coursework. Most of my college consisted of electives, gen eds, creative writing courses, and then the ones for my major. Aside from basic statistics, which I haven't even looked at in 2 years, I avoided math completely and probably would need to start over with algebra, despite having been in an AP Calculus class in high school. I just feel dumber overall. Is it because I had a simple, liberal arts focused education? Is it because I am technically an adult now and have a lot to get in line quickly? more

Resolved Question: I need to go back to college--what do to?

I hate to become part of the statistics based on new teachers, but I guess it just wasn't the right fit for me. I've been out of school for 3 years now and for those 3 years I've been working. First as a substitute and now for a child care facility as a pre-school teacher and a school-age/after school teacher. It's year round. I'm burned out. I feel unappreciated and undervalued at the place I work; I felt for valued as a substitute going in and out of different schools and being used only when they needed me. I don't know if it's the feelings of being unappreciated/undervalued in my current job that make me feel like I need to leave teaching or what, really. I've been trying to get a job at a public school since I graduated college--despite subbing and despite my current job, I always wanted to be at a public school doing what I was trained to do. Now, more than ever, it seems even more unlikely that I will never be chosen 1. because I have experience in child care not regular classrooms and 2. because they're laying teachers off everywhere and hiring those teachers back... I have a B.S.E.D. with elementary and language arts certifications. Apparently, that isn't good enough. I just question my choice to become a teacher to begin with. I don't know what I should have gone to school for. All I know is this is the 2nd time in the 3 years I've been out of college that I have said I'm going back to school. The day I got hired at my current job is the same day I was accepted to a very good nursing program. I wonder if I should have done nursing, then I have to wonder if I wouldn't be in the same place. I don't know what I'm good at. I don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't know is basically my answer to almost any question about what I want or what I like or what I dream... I just feel like I'm in a rut and I don't know how to get out of it. I can't go back to college because I don't have money for it. I don't have credit so the chances of me getting money are slim... And I flat out dont know what I want to do. I love art. I love music. I love to cook. I love to bake. I love decorating cakes. I'm crafty. I'm creative. I feel trapped somehow. Unappreciated. Undervalued. Trapped. By those around me and by myself... I just don't know what to do with the rest of my life. I'd settle for marrying a well-off man, but those are in short supply and, well, I take pride in supporting myself. This isn't the middle ages anymore. How can I figure out what I should be doing? Where can I get assistance with money? How can I go back to school if I don't know what I want to do? (Those gen-ed courses are already out of the way...) My step-father told me he thought I took the easy road out. That I did teaching because I thought it was a sure thing--everyone will always need teachers. He told me he knew from the start it wasn't want I really wanted. Too bad he didn't suggest anything or give me some insight. more

Resolved Question: Hello there, i wonder can anyone help me to check my essay grammar? I am a foreign student. thanks~?

My article is about game cultures, this article talks about how the cultural forces active in game production from three aspects: the economic system, the system of technology and the system of culture. First of all, it gives some examples to show us the trend for computer games and PlayStation's development. For example, Sony are major operators in the music and film business, but they are also produce PlayStation for many years. The Sony PSX enables the user to play PS2 games, record TV, copy audio, watch DVDs and connect online. Beside Sony, Microsoft produce digital product as well. This article indicates that, Bill Gates and his work teams produced Xbox because Microsoft were very threatened by Sony dominance of the domestic digital domain, and computer games business is a powerful revenue generator within the global media and entertainment industries. Recent technology releases have intensified the drive towards game platforms converging with other forms of media use. Kutaragi the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment predicted of the PS3: “The next-generation PlayStation will probably take the form of a game box, though it will not be a mere game machine.” In early 2004 Microsoft released the Xbox Music mixer designed to expand the Xbox capabilities from DVD, online connectivity, and audio to karaoke performance. There was a competition between Microsoft and Sony to produce their next consoles. Microsoft have spent millions of dollars to get the Xbox 360 to market before the PS3. This article also gives a statistics to show us that the games we get are generated by a highly sophisticated, highly capitalized media industry. When you buy a new console game, about 35% of the cover price of a console game goes back to the publisher and developer；as much as 30% stays with the retailer, 10% to the wholesaler and a further 10% on marketing, a final unique 15% on each disc is paid as a royalty to the platform manufacturer, like Sony or Microsoft. The 35% that returns to game publishers and producers there is both a cost and profit component, split roughly 50/50. Because of the longer established and more economically successful than any other digital media sector, more and more Media Studies scholars attend to the games industry. This article talks about the economic system of game production from three parts, the developers, the publishers and the technologists. First of all, It describes the developers’ working environment: an open plan office, filled with young men hooked up to computers, many of them wearing headphones, an air of quiet concentration is broken by the occasional whoop of success. The phone almost never rings; communication is by text or email. Lunch is either sandwiches or cheese toasts. They don’t need to dress up. Their working environment seems more relaxed than any other creative media environment. This might look like it is only a description of a culture; but this culture is a function of economics. Because of such a working environment is in fact a highly systematized form of a new kind of global media enterprise.

Resolved Question: Hello, any advice on which colleges I should apply to?

My name is Tim, and I'm a 17 year old junior in high school from New Jersey. I would like to hear opinions on some colleges that I may be interested in applying to. Unfortunately, my GPA truly doesn't reflect my potential as a person. It is around an A- in all honors courses, or a 3.5, something around 4.5 weighted. Somewhere around top 15% in class rank. I'm a certified member of Mensa, but I'm lazy in school and rarely study more than 1 hour or 30 minutes a week, cumulatively. It bores me for the most part, and I take more interest in personal research. Nevertheless, I would still like to attend a very good university, and would feel greatly inhibited if I did not. My SAT score was a 2310. Courses for next year: AP Lit. and Comp. AP Physics AP Chem AP Calculus BC AP Statistics AP Government I'm hoping that next year if I actually try in school and ace my AP courses (A's and A+'s,) then I will be able to get to a 3.8 or so unweighted before I apply to colleges. If it wasn't for the fact that colleges didn't scrutinize GPA so much, I could honestly care less about the class test grades I receive.To be honest, I would not even have a desire to be present for school! (lol) .In my opinion, it's just a matter of studying details based on a teacher's lesson plan before a test. I don't need to prove to myself or anyone what I'm capable of, so that is one of the main reasons why I've never tried. After a while, studying trivial facts began to bore me, so I resorted to conducting more "Independent" studies. I take more interest in the more creative facets of learning like physics, and college calculus II, which I study in my free time. So, to attend a nice institution in my area such as NYU, Cornell, Columbia, would absolutely thrill and complete me. Generally, people truly do not understand me, and can't give me an honest opinion of what realistic expectations for me would be. This is partly because of the dilemma that school does not reflect my true intellectual capability. Any impartial opinions from current college students would be helpful. My extracurriculars are somewhat significant. I have been playing the violin since 4, I am highly skilled in art, and I volunteer at a local hospital. In school, I am a member of the math league and the Model UN. I wish to major in engineering (of which I have not decided yet,) and mathematics more

Resolved Question: Creative online/computer related energy conservation?

I am working on a presentation that highlights a few websites and services that creatively conserve energy one way or another. I have thus far mentioned Blackle, EcoFont, and ThinkHost. Does anyone know of any other services or websites that were designed with this same idea in mind? In case you were wondering, blackle is a google powered search engine that boasts on their energy savings due to the fact that the screen is black instead of white. EcoFont is a program that "punches" holes into font in order to save on ink. ThinkHost is a hosting service that "uses" alternative energy sources. Also, some statistics on energy consumption and conservation would be helpful. I'm unaware of any resources where this can be found. Can someone help there as well? Thank you for your time. more

Resolved Question: I HATE my Accounting major, a college senior...am I stuck?

I'm a 20 year old college senior, and I'm having a fifth-life crisis. :-( I majored in Accounting (but minored in Economics) purely because it was a "safe" major, and I thought (note the past tense) that I'd be capable of undertaking a career in accounting. But the more I progressed in my accounting courses, the more I found that I disliked them. I easily aced classes like economics, statistics, Russian (and I'm not Russian), calculus, physics, philosophy, etc... but I barely passed any of my accounting courses. I'm taking Intermediate Accounting for the 2nd time because I failed the first time (NEVER happened to me in my life), and I'm still not doing well. Every time I walk in my accounting classes, I feel like I'm walking into a dental office for a root canal. I literally feel like throwing up. I cannot follow all the details I have to memorize, I have zero interest in the subject, and my dyslexia probably doesn't help...This nausea phenomenon NEVER happens in any of my other classes - I'm excited to be there. Creative writing is where my talent and passions lie. All my university professors, high school teachers, people at work, friends, etc keep insisting that I have a "rare talent" for creative writing. I've even had a lot of work published in humorous magazines and newspapers. Everyone who's read my work urged me to major in writing. (Don't judge my skill based on this question, I'm definitely not trying to entertain!) I majored in accounting because I thought it was practical. Realistic. To me, even bothering to make a career out of writing is a waste of time, because it's like acting or modeling - so few can actually make a living out of it. I LOVE writing. I lose myself in it. But the idea of doing it for a living is a fairy tale. Am I right? Should I force myself to stay on the track to an accounting career? I don't know what to do, I completely regret majoring in accounting. I should've majored in Economics. =/ more

Resolved Question: French or Spanish GCSE?

Heys, I've just chosen my GCSE's around 2 months ago, and a MFL was one of the compulsory subjects. I decided to do Spanish, because I find it easier at the moment. I'm in "Fast Track" French (No idea why, to be honest) so that might be why I think I'm struggling. However, I LOVE French Literature (Dumas, Hugo, Leroux, etc) and music, and films, but I find it a bit harder. I think I should change my GCSE to French, which I THINK I can do because we only start these subjects next year, and I heard that you can change within a term of having actually started the subject. What do you think? We only started doing Spanish in Year 8, so that might be why I found it easier. However, I've done French since I was in Year 2, and it seems a bit of a waste. Any advice is a great help, thank you so much! x P.S. I'm also doing: 2 English, 2 Maths (Statistics), 3 Sciences, History, Art, Latin, and a creative IT course. I don't plan on doing French OR Spanish at A Level or at University.I know it's very very very hard, but my dream is to do English Literature at Cambridge (Whichever college that I can get into!) and then go on to do Photography at Royal College of Art. French and Spanish would have no part of it, but I think I'd enjoy French more. However, I find it harder than Spanish, at the moment at least!! Any help is appreciated! more

Resolved Question: What should my senior year schedule be to have a chance at getting into some of these colleges?

I was thinking: AP English AP European History AP Chemistry AP Spanish Data and Statistics, Honors I do alright in Spanish right now, and the only reason I'd take AP next year is because I hear it's really easy. I'm also taking Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry this year, and I currently have a 97 for a grade. Should I take AP Calculus? I know it's really hard, so I'm not sure? I don't want to be suffocating under stress next year. That's my main thing. Anyway I'm wondering if I need 5 AP's rather than 4 (and if I should take AP Calc) to get into: College of the Holy Cross Kenyon College Colby College Hamilton College Connecticut College and possibly : Bates, Middlebury, Swarthmore, Vassar. Sorry this is so long. But yeah. So? Ideas? If it helps: I have a GPA of 4.885 out of 5, and my class rank is 13 out of a class of 255. And I'd like to major in English and focus in Creative Writing.Haha, well I don't know, I mean I already take two AP Classes and I'd say they're more or less on the same level as my honors classes. I don't know, it could be my school, but I know that most seniors taking AP Spanish, at least, say that it is relatively easy. Could just be my school - probably, in fact. And I asked the question because I have no idea what to take, as in, selective colleges tell you they want to see four years in science, math, english, history, foreign language - but they also like to see people who are passionate about certain things. It's difficult to decipher what is needed for what one wants. So that's why I asked. GPA is a big factor, yeah. Which is yet another reason for my posting this question. My GPA and rank will go down depending on what classes I take and the level that I take them in, and how well I do in them. Thanks for your response !I realize now that seems kind of rude, I'm sorry if it was taken that way. I really just have no idea about any of this stuff, and the few people I've talked to don't seem to know too much either. But yeah I apologize if there was any confusion in there! more

Voting Question: am I being a stupid teen or is my reasoning valid?

I am a senior in high school.. I haven't had the best high school experience ever. I a few friends, and have enjoyed most of my time in HS. However, I am so ready to move onto college. I have finished all of my credits to graduate could graduate tomorrow if I wanted to. I get good grades, I am helpful around the house, and I am mature and responsible. I really want to graduate early from high school. The end of my term is on friday and there is really no point in finishing out the year. Right now I am only taking 5 classes; sewing, painting, creative writing, sociology, and AP statistics. All of those classes are bull shit classes except for AP statistics. But even with that class, it is kind of pointless because everyone is recapping on the class to get ready for the AP test. I am not taking the AP test, though. My parents have put their foot down and said "no way" to me graduating early. I have explained that I will use the time wisely by taking an figure art class at the university i've been wanting to take (I'm going to fashion school next fall and I've really been wanting to find the time to take the course), I will go to the gym, and find a part time job so I can help pay for my gas and work on being more independent. However, they still say no way to the idea. I am so frustrated! Am i overlooking the importance of me sticking out the school year? Would it be stupid to graduate early without their consent?their reason for me not graduating early is that they think i need one more term of high school to really be mature and responsible with my school work (in the past I have gotten a little lazy) however last term i got really good grades and this term will be no exception. more

Resolved Question: Job Ideas for Math Skills?

I'm looking for some creative job ideas to pursue for those with serious skill in mathematics. Quick background. I'm currently holding an AA continuing in college pursuing a BA. Currently tutoring Calculus and Statistics, studying Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. Studying Probability on the side toward my long-term objective of a career in Actuary Science. I'm currently regarded as one of the top math students at my community college. Just pulled the top score for my college in the Student Math League Competition. Additional skills: I've spent considerable time studying business as well. Basic Financial and Managerial Accounting, Introductory Micro and Macro Economics, Business Law, Quickbooks-based Accounting (used to keep my personal books), Introduction to Business (overview type class). Very comfortable in Office applications. What are some ideas to capitalize on this and make some money while continuing with school? I seem to keep floundering between low-paying part-time jobs that really don't leverage my talents. At least the tutoring has the added benefit of providing constant math review. I'd like to get into something applying what I've learned. more

Resolved Question: Do i even have a chance of getting into a top medical school?

I never wanted to go to a medical school, so i never tried in school. But now I desperately want to be a doctor, learning that my father (who left us when i was 5, and was pronounced dead yesterday due to heart failure) was a surgeon. These were my freshman grades (semester 1, semester 2) and classes Biology Honors- B,B World History Honors- B,B Spanish 2- B,B Geometry Honors-B,B English Honors- B,A PE Independent Study- A,A Science Research-A,B Creative Writing-A,A These are my grades sophomore year, I am only done with one semester Physiology and Anatomy-A Algebra 2 Honors-B Spanish 3 Honors-C English 2 Honors-B PE-A Ethics-A Chemistry Honors-B Science Research 2-A Ceramics-A,A (summer) I do not know my GPA but it is obviously around 3.0, and 3.75 weighted. However, now that i know who my father was, and that he wasn't some low life druggie, I have been inspired. I have the ability to get all A's because I did in middle school with honors classes too. I WILL get at least 95% in all my classes now that I care. I am going to list the classes I will take the next two years. If i get all A's, and am the absolute top of my class in all of them, will I be able to get into a good college? Sophomore Year (second semester): Physiology and Anatomy Algebra 2 Honors Spanish 3 English 2 Honors PE Mythology Chemistry Honors These are my classes junior year: Pre-calculus honors Chemistry AP Physics B AP English 3 Honors Spanish 4 Statistics AP Basketball or Football Science Research 3 US History (Summer) And my senior classes: Biology AP Calculus AB AP (or BC AP, depending on how hard calculus is) Economics AP Government AP Basketball or Football Science Research 4 Physics C AP English 4 AP I am also in the following clubs: Science Olympiad Science Bowl Mock Trial Teen Court (I am an officer of this club) Future Doctors of America Also it is possible for me to get top grades because we had a final in math today and my teacher updated grades on edline, and I was the top of my class with a 192 out of 200. That was from one day of studying. One day of trying. Imagine if i had studied for a week. Also, one last thing, I plan to start a club where my uncle, a family medicine doctor, comes in and educates students who want to be doctors on medical stuff. So, without more delay, is it possible for me to have a chance to get into the following schools if i pick up my act and be the top of my classes: Harvard John Hopkins Duke Brown Stanford UCLA UC Berkley Yale Also, which colleges would i be likely to get into with my new game plan. Thanks.Oh yeah, I go to the 54th best High School in America.I forgot to mention that I have about 100 volunteer hours, and i will have over 450 by the time i graduate. more

Voting Question: Can you reword this for me? PlEASE!?

Its plagiarized, but Im allowed to ahve it reworded. Thanks! Aretha Franklin is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a whole. More than any other performer, she epitomized soul at its most gospel charged. In the late ‘60’s, Franklin became one of the biggest international recording stars in all of pop. Many also saw Franklin as a symbol of Black America itself, reflecting the increased confidence and pride of African-Americans in the civil rights movements and other triumphs for the Black community. The chart statistics are impressive in and of themselves: ten Top Ten hits in a roughly 18-month span between early 1967 and late 1968, for instance, and a steady stream of solid mid-to-large-size hits for the next five years after that. Her Atlantic albums were also huge sellers, and far more consistent artistically than those of most soul stars of the era. Franklin was able to maintain creative momentum, in part, because of her eclectic choice of material, which encompassed first-class originals and gospel, blues, pop, and rock covers, from the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel to Sam Cooke and the Drifters. She was also a fine, forceful, and somewhat underrated keyboardist. The combination of her music was one of those magic instances of musical alchemy in pop, while her voice soared with a passion and intensity suggesting a spirit had been allowed to fly loose for the first time. Aretha Franklin is an institution, assured of the ability to draw live audiences and immense respect for her albums and produced music. more

Resolved Question: Did Enron teach Labour or did Labour teach Enron?

When it comes to creative accounting, it seems no one can hold a candle to UK Gvmt statistics. They keep insisting the UK went into the current recession with the lowest budget deficit of the G7 but they're leaving out huge swathes of taxpayer liability. If any UK, EU or US corporation tried that and presented those figures in their annual return, they'd end up in prison. Why don't the opposition parties ever pull them up about this? more

Resolved Question: Help -- Sibling trouble?

I am having a serious dysfunctional family dilemma. My brother dropped out of high school and took 2-3 years to get his GED. He went into a bad high school late and never adjusted. The kids were too much and he dropped out. We are a middle class family, my mother is a single mother raising 4 kids. We talk to our dad, but none of us want to associate a lot with him more than occasionally because he has Bipolar disorder and we cant tolerate his mood swings and crazy behavior. Of course this has caused problems, but what can you do. My mother went thru hell and back and still is with my brother. He was on drugs at a point, was in a day treatment program, thought he was the "Eminem" type (went thru that phase). He just recently finally got his GED at 21. He is still living at home. He is having a horrible time keeping a job and he has nowhere to go if my mother kicks him out and she is worried he'll end up on drugs again. So she lets him stay. I am worried too so I don't fight that. Plus, I am not going to judge. This is the worst part, Now my sister who is 17 and literally is supposed to graduate in MAY 2010 dropped out just yesterday. She is hanging with a horrible group who we tried to get her away from but she defiantly would not come home, stayed with them. The one girl is a drop out, the guy was enrolled in an Art Institute and they encouraged her to drop out and live with them. She has an inheritance coming from my grandfather of about 5,000 dollars in May when she turns 18. My mother and I fear they are looking to get that off her. She is also I feel bipolar. I feel she needs to be on meds but will not get on them. She has always got good grades, she has good grades. She even had friends! She was voted most creative in her class this year... we would be at the grocery store and all kinds of people would come up to her and say "hi beth!!" I truly feel its these people she has befriended and her bipolar possibly. I am devastated.. needless to say my mother is too and she is drained due to my brother as it is. She was just in tears last night and I had nothing to say other than maybe it will blow over and she can get her GED, take SATs and still enroll in college. but she moved out, took her things and is staying with these people. I am at a loss of what to do. Tried talking... she is beyond talking to. Its like she is brain washed. As for me I am 24 (just turned) and just graduated college with my BA. I have been living here because I have been finishing my degree. I went part time at first and then ended up finishing. It took me five years which is average. I am not looking for a job and an apartment for me and my dachshund mix. I think the fact I just graduated college is the only thing keeping my parents mentally from falling apart at this point. They are very upset this is happening. They do NOT have a bad life, they dont have everything but they certainly were not deprived -- she had plenty of clothes, etc. I am not sure what to do. Did anyone go through this? I am in shock because she was so intelligent that she helped me with my college statistics and foreign language (spanish) and did excellent in grades. She worked so hard, and just threw it all away. She went through a bout where she said she was suicidal for about a month prior to this, then announced she dropped out (the school let her sign the papers for whatever reasons) What can I do? more

Resolved Question: please check this letter for me~a little long..?

Hi, I'm kenwen. I have traselated this letter to English. I am really appreciate if someone could check this for me. Dec.15 is my deadline and I cannot find any native speaker around me. And two more letters need to be checked. Could you please check them for me as well? Thanks!!! By the way, I think I am good at Chinese and Japanese. I would like to help anyone with Chinese and Japanese problem. Dear Sir or Madam As Miss. xxxx’s lecturer and advisor, I know this student very well. She has extremely strong ability to learn, and high creativity. I strongly recommend her to enroll in the PHD course in your college. Firstly, Miss.xxxxx has strong ability to learn and great potential. Honestly, she is not good at Japanese at first, since her major at our University was not Japanese language. But she reached the level to speak and understand Japanese quite well after six months of stay in Japan. She could lead 15 Japanese students in a work shop to develop a creative product to promote environment conscious society, and made a presentation in front of big audience in this workshop. The team won the best team award. Also, she applied to a paper contest entitled “For Symbiosis between Japan and the World” sponsored by Nomura Research Institute, a Japan leading research and consulting firm. The title of her paper, consisting of 10 thousand words in Japanese was “Borrow the Power of Doraemon! Product placement advertising in animation”, and again awarded to Judges Special Prize in the contest. Another example to show her strong ability to learn is that she mastered advanced statistics course given in our medical school within a short period of time to the level enough to assist my PHD student in conducting an epidemic field work for the thesis. She applied statistics analysis method in the right manner and utilizes software properly, contributing to the excellent thesis. When she found an opportunity to learn, she always reached the level more than I had expected. Secondly, her creativeness really impressed me. She showed this ability both in her academic research and daily practice. In her assignment report, you can always find some interesting concepts rather than the ordinary thinking styles. I remember that when DENTSU, a Japan and World major communication firm, held a contest for paper on the advertisement, she wrote a thesis about “War and Advertising”, She gave a concept of "Pensieve advertising”. She explained that the advertisement or campaign about wars could be more than vision and narration, and any other senses of the human body could be added on. This creative idea finally won Students Advertising Paper Award. In her practice, she always used her brain very well and intensively. When she attended the internship program at Hokkaido Television Broadcasting Company, she took part in a project to introduce the tour in Hokkaido in a different way from normal reports for Hokkaido like just providing information on sites. She created a campaign proposal based upon “unique selling proposition” which was based on her research on the feathers of Hokkaido. She developed a proposal entitled“Romantic Hokkaido” and gained lots of high praise from the department she worked for as an intern. Knowing that work and her building reputation, I was also impressed and gratified. Based on both professional and individual performance, I, with confidence, admit that Miss. xxxxx has analytical as well as creative, and comprehensive talent. Also, she is really a person who sweats at brain, body and heart to accomplish the mission utilizing the talent, regardless the mission is given or she set it for herself. I believe this young woman’s unusual character will make her competent for further graduate study abroad. I would really appreciate it if you could accept her into your programs. If you want to discuss anything pertaining to her application, please do not hesitate to contact me. more

Resolved Question: Help with English creative writing?

I'm currently at a grade B in english and my teacher has asked me to re-do my creative writing in order to get me to a grade A (I'm in year 11) I had this idea that I could combine fiction and non-fiction by basing my piece of work on anorexia, I'd basically begin writing in a first person view of a teenage girl/boy suffering from anorexia and throughout i would switch points of views by writing as if i am this persons friends/family/teacher/etc and in between these parts i'd have non fiction parts with statistics and things about how the media influences people etc Do you think this is a good idea? And do you have anything else I could add to this, or something I could do to improve it? Thanks xx (Also, as a past sufferer of anorexia I thought this would be quite an easy topic to write about which is why I picked it) more
