Library Visit Debrief -- Riko

 

It was good to know about the library and how to use searching system. I hadn’t visited it but now I know some options of libraries. Actually, I learnt for the first time that we could search with “AND”, “OR”, and “NOT” efficiently. I often had trouble with searching an article and research by an expert, however, now I have a great way to do this, which is why this experience visiting the library will help my research. In addition to this, Amanda was very nice because she talked some jokes to audience, which made me more relaxed. I found that it was good to be humorous in front of audience in the informal case.

I don't have any photos😢

    That's true! I have also learned it is good to speak with humorous in front of an audience. As a result, the audience can concentrate to the speech.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
