Many people learn with computer now. There are many kinds of learning. It is not only learning but some functions. Also, computer is used for academic work by students. There are good point, but  there are bad point too in learning with computer.

College student use computer to do academic work. For example, English classes like reading, writing, speaking. They can use some online study, are English central and Power Words. English central is study contents of speaking. Speaking sentences, computer catch the speaking and gauge it. Power Words is contents studying English. Students can word meaning and pronunciation. They use computer to write report or something homework. Also, they can practice typing. It is important to use computer.

 

Computer has Office tool, are Excel, Powerpoint and Word. It is necessary to make grafics or tables. So it is used for report and homework. Excel makes grafics and tables. Word is used mainly for report, and grafics and tables which are made on Excel are used on Word. Powerpoint is need to prezentation.

 

Learning with computer have a good point and a bad point. Good point is what it is very convenient. If I use computer, I can read, listen to and see a large things at one time. What's more, I can study to watch movie. It's easy to understand than myself with books. There are many people who don't like studying, but using computer, people can study as thought it were a game. Using computer, I can share something with someone.

Essays 2-01b: My learned language

I have ever learned Japanese, English and Germany. My first language is Japanese. I have spoken  it from when I was child. I was early to begin to speak Japanese. Maybe I spoke Japanese word for the first time when I was eight months. When I was a child, I had words board machine of Anpanman. If I touch the word, the machine was spoken some words. I remember it even now. And I understood Japanese to watch TV.

First, I write about Japanese. I learned hiragana and katakana when I was 5 years old. I have learned kanji from when I was second grade student. Kanji gradually have been difficult. Kanji of my name is easy, so I finished learned my kanji when I was fourth grade student. But I hated kanji and I am not good at it. I was learned proverb too. It is difficult to memorize and understand. So It is good things what I am Japanese.

Next, I write about English. I began to study English when I was junior high school student. I have used English when I was elementary school student because I had gone to English lesson. But I had not understood English then. So I am very much like I began to study English from junior high school.

English which I studied in junior high school is very different from that of what I  learned in elementary school. When I was elementary school student, I used English to speak or communication. But from junior high school it is important to read sentence, do grammer and memorize English words. So I didn't like English class like that, but I enjoyed English class of foreign teacher. So it was difficult for me.

I didn't hate English in junior high school, but I didn't like it in high school. I have learned about grammer, but it was more difficult to memorize many things in high school than in junior high school. And sentences were longer, words were more increase. What I don't like memorize is reason which I don't like English. If I took good points on exam in school, I could not read long sentence and I didn't know English words. There were no words which I had not to memorize. I had to memorize all words.   So I am not good at listening English.

I especially studied grammar and words of English in high school. I studied grammar with English workbook. I did a lot of pattern work. I understood grammar. But words which I memorized is a little. So I could not read sentence. I study English in my college. English is my second language. I study speaking, writing, listening, reading of English. I don't like English even now, but I want to complete English Because I thought that it is strange I have learned English long time and not to use English. Because I thought person who can speak English is cool, I decided to learn English. So I want to try hard studying English.

I studied Germany in my class a year ago. I didn't have knowledge of Germany. So it was very difficult for me. I studied Germany with textbook. In textbook, there are some example. I had a book of two type. One is grammar book and the other is conversation book. I studied grammar to do workbook of some pattern. So I had understood grammar then, but I forgot it now. About conversation of that, I don't memorize some conversation. I know only a few conversation. I listened Germany and I spoke it every week. I did it all what I could do. Patiently, I studied it and I memorized it. But I can't speak Germany very much now.

My purpose of learning languages is what I become person who can speak many kinds of people all over the world. I have heard English is not studying, it is just language. I was impressed by the words.

Simply put, Macbeth who have fortitude and also is timid is enthroned by assassination of his honor with his wife. But he could not bear the strain of inside and outside, developed confused and commit an assault. The result was he was killed for revenge by kings and noble.
