Environment mostly affect children's growth. As we know, when we were born, there are not any difference between us except the nature,such as appearance, gene,sex... As we grow up, we speak different languages, wearing different clothes, eating different food. This is due to we are from different countries and regions ,we have different culture and religions,and we study different things since we were born. It means that it is not the matter that people who was born in UK can speak English certainly. If they were born in UK, but growing up in China, they would speak Chinese very well.in a word, environment changes us. So there is a question: which environment mostly factors influence our growth ?
Firstly,the family give us lots of impacts.For one things, when we were born, our parents were our first teachers,and also will be our teacher for many years even in our whole lives.we learn numerous things from our parents and our families, such as basic skills.knowledge,hobbies and habits. For another, a good family environment is also a great influence on children. A harmonious family will allow their children grow up healthily.But if a children grew up in a violent family environment ,their personalities would be changed a lot.
Secondly, we learn plenty of skills ,knowledge,and other things from school. Academic study can improve our theoretical knowledge and skills. Academic studying is necessary. At first,In school,children can learn lots of professional knowledge which parents can not teach us. With these knowledge, children could improve their personal ability,and these capability make them possible to solve different problems by themselves. The second one, school has a good studying atmosphere. With this atmosphere, children could learn lots of knowledge quickly and easily.
Lastly, most of our personalities are influenced by our friends. If our friend was interested in sprots,and talked about everyday, we would be interested in sports too. That means our interest, hobbies and habits could be changed by our friends. It is easy to have the same interest,hobbies and habits with our friends.
In conclusion, the success of a person is not determined by natural advantages, but it will be acquired by our following efforts. Nurture could improve us a lot, and also could change us a lot. So, nurture strongly influences early human development.

Nurture Provides love, support, attention, and encouragement , that’s why it affect the future of children and helps them grow, learn and develop socially.
However once they are reached there teens or older nature start to affect them in their professionnal and social life...
While nature produces healthy, nurture helps in developing them in the early steps of their lives by practice and experience. It means that the early development of a human is effective and faster by nurture than what comes out of nature.
All children go through the same sequences of growth and development in the same order right from their mothers . Nature leads to ordinary development of a foetus into a human but it cannot develop an infant into a healthy-minded or a sportive adult, which an infant can gain only through his/her experience.
some of the things we know about the world are herditary, as well changeable by the influence of the family. kids are influenced by their families, friends and the enviroment they living in. taking the example of the social classes differences. a study made on kids of differnet classes of the society showed that kids always are influenced by their families and will end up doing a similar job to their family and to people from the same neighbourhood they have been living in.
to conclude, nurture can be very influencing at an early age of the life hood, but as the human being get to the age of teens, the nature start to play its job.

As far as I am concerned, we know that family environment is all-important affect our life, especially in our childhood. For example, if the children live in the family which was full of love, the child will be happier, more easy-going. It was reported that children who grow up in the unhealthy family like single parent, they are more attacked, because they lose of the sense of security. Furthermore, parents are the first teacher of children. They listen and see what parents do, follow them.
Secondly, education also affects human development in a great degree. We learn in school, throughout the course training, we get expert skills, and social skills. The skills that we get is very important for us to consummate our personality. For instance, through education, we get the knowledge, realize the world, and also get the skills for work, and know how to social interactive, like we have good communication skills, make friends. These all make us more independent.
By contrast, someone will say that our genius will not be change, therefore, nature play a more important role in human development. It is right that we cannot change our skin, eyes, hair and general body size. However, our character could be developed in the postnatal education. Character requires long time and nurturing for growth and development.
In conclusion, from what has been discussion above. Although we cannot change our DNA, nurture do really affect our character in great degree.

In contemporary society, nature and nurture play an essential role in early human development.But in the meantime,it has sparked much debate.Some people think that nurture strongly influences early human development,while many others argue that nature strongly influences early human development.Pensonally,I am in favour of the former view.
It is obvious that nurture is more important in early human development. In the first place,infants' emotions and their caregivers' behavior can help early brain development.For example,infants smile along with them and imitate their action.In the second place,different enviroments,different people.For instance,if the babies grow up without human contact or somehow adopted by animals,they will become feral children,such as wolf children.
I would also agree that nature can affect early human development.The reason is that genes decide the color of skin, eyes and hair.Obviously,the twins ofen display some same characters.Even so,if they grow in different enviroments,they will change and have different characters.
In conclusion,nature and nurture can affect early human development.Nature decides human first character,but nurture can change them.Nature gives human born abilities,nurture can help them to develop their abilities.So,I am convinced that nurture strongly influence early human development.

Everyone is influence by many things in whole life, like genetic, environment, health, education, family and so on. All of them are included by nurture and nature. This essay is about nature or nurture is more important in determining the course of human development.
Our genetic is from our patents, it is stationary, like our sex, the colour of hair, eyes, and body size, among other things, We cannot change this things, just accepted that. Some of them are helpful in our life, like health, strongly body, penetration. However, even you have great genetic, you need more practice at the future. If not, you will lose these genetics. For example, born in China or USA, even you have the same genetic, you must be different in the future, because the environment is different.
Why nurture is more important? Firstly, we are influence by environment from pregnancy; we are influence by mother’s felling. For example, if the mother is optimistic, her children always like her. Secondly, the early education is important for human development. For example, in different education background, it must have different development. Finally, family also can influence one’s life, born in a happiness family; you must have a great early growth.
To sum up, I believe nurture is more important in early human development, even the children have great genetic.

As I know, every family pay more money and energy to nurture child in early age. The parents through different way to influences early human development, such as environment, education, life experience and may be a love family. It is good effect to influences child in childhood.
In my opinion, the environment is an important factor for postnatal. The different environment can make different people. We can clearly see the difference between live in peaceful environment children and live in war condition children. While, nurture in a love family better than live in full in violence of family, it help children grow up and have a good childhood.
Education is a factor that parents should not be overlooked. He not only reflected in today's society, in ancient China had been fully reflected, as you know, Mencius, a thinker, politician and educator. There have a story about Mencius when he was a child. His mother hoped that he had received a good education and a good learning environment, even three consecutive move home, after the Mencius also have achieved successful.
Life experience can even influence a person's development, in daily life we can clearly aware of similar things. The poor people become rich through strive; On the contrary, the rich become poor. The disable people also can be successful and famous; a normal person could do nothing yet.
In conclusion, above my opinion, the nurture can strongly influences human development. Although, nature can not change and even bring us to illness, disability. However, this does not stop our success.

Most people think that nature is important, but I think that nurture can not be ignored. Nowadays, every family pays more money and energy to nurture child in early age. The parents through different way to influences early human development, such as environment, education, life experience and may be a love family. It is good effect to influences child in childhood.It's clear that the environment have strong impact in the early human development. The different environment can make different people. We can clearly see the difference between live in peaceful environment children and live in war condition children. While, nurture in a love family better than live in full in violence of family, it help children grow up and have a good childhood.
Education is a factor that parents should not be overlooked. He not only reflected in today's society, in ancient China had been fully reflected, as you know, Mencius, a thinker, politician and educator. There was a story about a famous thinker who named Mengzi’s three times of moving house. The affection of the environment was a specific factor. So nurture seems so important for early human development.
Life experience can even influence a person's development, in daily life we can clearly aware of similar things. The poor people become rich through strive; On the contrary, the rich become poor. The disable people also can be successful and famous; a normal person could do nothing yet. Give the children a good postnatal education and environment, no matter the children were disabling or not. At least, they can achieve their aims of life.
In conclusion, Nature gives human born abilities and nurture help human to develop the abilities. It means that nature gives innate things to human and people are almost the same when they are born. Then nurture makes the innate things change, it makes different people have different lives. So nurture does more strongly influence early human development

Nature often influences human development from the genetic way, because human fetus develops within the mother’s body. Firstly, nature may cause some genetic disease. Secondly, nature is the reason of some fetus’ abnormal maturation.
Reversely, nurture influences human development after birth. Firstly, the postnatal education influences a child’s normal development. Secondly, living environment also affects a child’s grow up, even the future of the child.
Moreover, the environmental factors can affect the normal maturation of the fetus. At first, human nature is almost completely malleable during his or her infancy. Then there are many experiments aimed at twins. They are treated in different environments, different education and people around. Subsequently, they become greatly different.
In conclusion, nurture influences early human development stronger than nature. Nature influences human only before birth, but nurture may influence a person’s whole life. Only when they are accordant can human development become successful.

First of all , I would like to begin from the time that before start to go to school . I think this period depends on mother and the members of family .The infant can grow up in the harmony atmosphere and well –cared by mother .With the steady environment and lovely interaction .on the other word ,the infants always in the right way when they were adult .
Secondly , different period along with the different influences .For instance , the time of the elementary school .The children have systemically educated that taught them the knowledge to make them have capacity to cope with something that they’ve never faced before .Also the friends in the school whom can learn and play together .It is benefit for children to grow up impersonal skills .
Thirdly , I would like to talk about nature impact on our development .To be honest , I think we can not deny the contributed from nature . If there are some thing wrong about our DNA or GENES ,that would be a disaster .Because we can not learn something easily with disabled .
In brief , the nurture brings us grow up normally and completely . Like the proverb goes that says we can be the best if you had well -educated with lovely family to grow up .

Whether nature or nurther is a more important factor which strongly influences human early development debated throughout 20 centuries. The genetics scientists believe that infant arrived in the world with many gene which decide the structure and future development, and it cannot be changed. On the contrary, the dissenters adviced all knowledge comes to us through senses, it decided by experience , environment; no ideas are built in.
There is no doubt born with talent is good for infant to be successful.If talent on music, it could more easy to be a musician than others;if on painting,it would be a painter;as the same as in other areas.Everyone has his own talent when him was born,it's a benefit of your future development.But was gene decided everything? Certainly not!
In the early development of human,the infant living with parents all the day, lead to parents behaviour impact the development at first.In many case,the father or mother are a teacher,lawyer or doctor,and children will become a teacher,lawyer or doctor. Sometimes parents impact infant in visual. It's universal truth the ability of simulate in the early development is more strong than others.When infant have seen parents movement, and it will be repeat by children when have the similar suituation. For example, when the phone is ring, parents pick up the microphone,and say hello; all of this process have been remenber in childrens brain, next time when telephone ring again, infant will pick up the phone and say hello. However parents bad habit have been equal copy. Early development have been influences by the other way-hearing sense. Mother/father is the first teacher for childrens language study. What you talk to him, what you talk to eachothers, obscene words or graceful words have already been learnt.If infant grow up in a high accomplishment family, the result infant would be more polite;on the contrary, may be nasty. Moreover, children learn all of thing by sense. what him looking, listening, thinking and feeling, all of these have been collected in brain and have a influence no matter it is benefit or defect.By the complicated environment, children experienced variety circumstances and training in it.
Secondly, educational conditions are more important in human early development.As Edison said success is equal to unremitting efforts.Have a good education means beginning to success.A recent research indicate: there are 70 percent interviewee believe that have a good education would be more close to success.The reality is also true.Almost all the business elite and politician are well-educated.Infant access to good education is more helpful to training skills,inform experience, learn cooperate with others;all those can help to be successful.No matter the talent what is,without well-educated and practice in it,it would be covered.
In conclusion,nature have a important impact in human early development.However,there are some limitations in nature which cannot decided by gene;like ability, experience,temperament are the most important in the early development .Ignore impact from nurture(experienced,educaion and environment),whether the talent was,will result in failure.

Environment is play important role in human development that is include social,family, parents and health. first of all, social life is affected to human development to bring them up to a good or bad way. for example, a school will be affect to student, what i mean about that is school have main role after parents of course to give children a good knowlege about future and to try to improve their intellectual skill. Moreover, friendship could affect to human because if you have problem you can speak to the best friend and they will listen to you and gives you some advises to help you that will lead you to become more comfort.
On the other hand, Family also have an impact on human development includes the parents and the sibling. i'm goig to write how the impact of parents on children. for example, if parents have a good relationship with each other that will give children more confidence and helps them to grow properly. whilst, if parents are divorced that will give children many problem such as the child will becomes more bully because they don't have a stable life. Sibling also have the ability to influence at each other. for example, Shared feelings and try to help each other. So, we can say family and society are also play important role in human developmant.
Nature has important affect to human as well. for instance, genetic traits so that the child takes the same skin color and the same similarity. To the nature of the effect on the child for example, calm, intelligence and skills and neural activity.

The human life is a process of development and early human development is really important.In this eassy I will discuss nature or nurture is the main factor influence early human development.
Scientists have known for years that traits such as eye color and hair color are determined by specific genes encoded in each human cell. The DNA genes decide some characteristics with born,but most of them are not important for life in an individual's DNA.a child was healthy when he/she was born,the child had same condition with others which means no extra skill.Hence, nature only influences whether a child is healthy or not.
Some people insist on their point of view the intelligence is inborn,nature is the decisiveness of development.We put two identical twins in different environments, for example, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the work is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later, which indicates that environment does play a crucial role in our intelligence. Enviroment is a big word,it includes education,interaction and others.
Education have stronly influence of early human development.Education could raise personal self-confidence,independence,spirit of supporting oneself.Higher education also could bring a lifetime and high paid job.Therefore,the higher education can have,the better life will own.Interaction includes communicate with others and react to others.Parents could influence the early character of the child.What is more, teachers and friends could change the character of child.We live in the society,we need interaction and more or less have impact on our development.
Ultimately, the old argument of nature vs. nurture has never really been won.On balance,nurture effects more than nature.
Weekly Writing 2 & Second Draft - Freya
Granted that there are many aspects in nurture, every one plays a crucial role in our lives, it holds such a view based on the following reasons. To begin with, it gose beyond any doubt that the family is the starting point. Parents are your first teachers from whom you know the world. They give you love, and you will learn how to love and feel loved. If you are born in a happy family, you will become optimistic. Furthermore, people attach great weight to education. Most of them believe that the earlier you learn, the cleverer you are. For example, there indicated that practice or extra stimulation could enhance the appearance of motor behaviours to certain extent from more recent studies. Last but not least, our health also depends on the stage of growth. As the mother contacts with measles during the first three months of pregnancy, the baby may suffer from some problems of body, such as deaf and blind.
However, given that nature cannot be changed, it definitely belongs to part of our character. DNA and genes determine our sex, the colour of skin, even personality.
All in all, although there many factors influence early human development, obviously we are affected more by outside environment. Therefore, by maximum using surrounding resources, we could improve ourselves to be more suitable for the changing society.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nowadays environment is being increasingly important for personal development, especially in early time. Meanwhile, it has evoked a fierce controversy relating to whether nurture affects early human development or not. In my opinion, both nurture and nature affects it, but the nurture more strongly.
Scientists convinced that nature cannot be changed. It definitely belongs to part of our character, such as DNA and genes which determine our sex, the colour of our skin and eyes. We even inherit IQ and familial diseases from parents, as well as personality.
However, there are many aspects in nurture, every one plays a crucial role in our life; it holds such a view based on the following reasons. To begin with, it goes beyond any doubt that education is crucial for everyone. The family is the starting point that parents are your first teachers from whom you know the world. For example, there pointed that practice or extra stimulation by parents could strengthen the appearance of active behaviours to certain extent from recent studies. Moreover, most of people believe that the earlier you learn, the cleverer you are. Children could improve themselves more than others by hardwork. The second is our health, which depends on the stage of growth. A balanced diet together with physical exercise must enhance our physique. For instance, a report was about a boy, who was diagnosed with congenital heart disease and could not live over 15 years, but he did persist in jogging every morning and eating healthy food more than 25 years. Finally, the personality could be changed. A news I read before is about a pair of twins in different circumstances. One of them was sent to a wealthy home and became optimistic and ambitious after the adult; the other in a divorced family, on the contrary, was pessimistic and unsocial. The fact is that although they had the same DNA, the totally opposite circumstances led to the totally opposite results.
All in all, there many factors influence early human development, but obviously we are affected more by outside environment. Therefore, by maximum using surrounding resources, we could improve ourselves to be more suitable for the changing society.

Firstly, I'm pretty sure that parents' education is very important to their children. The majority of parents ask their children to receive education, because they believe that learning is good for their children's future. But parts of parents simple leave their children in school, the performance of child in the school situation, they do not know. Thus resulting in many children go astray , include fraud ,absenteeism, etc. If the parents for the child's performance in more care and discipline, the children would not dare do bad thing. So I strongly believe that parents 's education is important.
Secondly, I'm honestly feel that good family atmosphere influence on children.If the children have good atmosphere in their family, they will feel very happy and comfortable everyday.Thay don't feel annoyed and disturbed by it will bot be angry. A good family atmosphere can cultivate their interests and hobbies ,so thay will naturally grow ,without any constraints. This is good for children's development.
Thirdly,I think that the behavior of parents is very important ,because parents is children's best teachers. Good or bad of parents ,their children will remember and imitate. Therefore ,as a direct impact the children development on parents' behavior. So parents should do their best for their children.
The reason why good family of a children's growth has a very significant impact. Because for a children's growth is good family education important than school or friends .The family is the most important factor in decisions for a children to grow.

From this essay i want to talk about nurture effective.As we know that the development of a newborn infant is a complex and unkonw things . So when the infant was born he or she don't with abilities and knowledge.So the parents must to educate them. I think it is very important for the early human development.The followings are some of my views.
Firstly, we know the education for the young children is very important.The parents need to cultivate the interesting of the child,in my opinion, it is necessary.The children need to accept training and doing some practices,it is useful.furthermore,do some extra practise can stimulate the children's brain.The parents must to educate them carefully and build their characteristics. Educate them how to improve themselves.
Secontly,the health is also significant.the newborn infant demand a good healthy.The physical are robust and their can use their body to learn something.In addition the mental is equally important,they need to konw their meanings of lives which they want be.So they can grow better.
The lastly is the enviroment.In my opinion,the eviroment of growth must be tidy. the newborninfant demand a harmany family and the parents need a goodjob and have enough money. So they can bring their children to join some social gatherings,i think is helpful for them.Children are excepted to grow up healthily with their parents's care and can devolop a closer relationship with thier parents.

At present, people believe that the psychological and intellectual development is heavily influenced by genetic science. We understand the importance of genetic characteristics more than ever before. However, we still can not decide whether the individual's personality and development of more affected by nurture.
In fact,The importance of nurture strongly influences for children than congenital effects. Many examples can be found to prove this proint. Take "wonder child"as a typical example, gifted children refers to a particularly prominent in the other children.Maybe they have good genes,but need to more nurture the potential of development. People always think the prodigy successful when they very young then they must become successful person in the future.Actually those great people in a child is not perceived as a child prodigy, but acquired through training and successful.Such as Bill Gates,Buffett.So nature is necessary,however nurture is more important.
Parents in the child's early education is essential factor.Family is the first environment in children’s life. Parents are their first teachers. Good parenting is important foundation and starting point of the child’s future development. Modern psychology research indicates that if the child receives the good parenting in the key period for development of intelligence, it will make a great influence for the child’s future development. Moreover,the fact proved that more harmonious relationship between husband and wife thoughout Co-teach children.
We now know that newborn infants enter the world with all sensory systems functioning and are well prepared to learn about their new environment.They will learn from the first enviroment-their parents,the second is living in contact with social environment.A good social environment for early hunman development is very imporant.A child in full recognition of the environment to grow - and he learned to respect their own;A child is full of acceptable environment to grow - and he learned to comfort others;A child has been a positive environment full of growth - he learned standing ambition;A child is full of shared environment to grow - he learned generosity to help others;A child is full of just and honest environment to grow - he learned the truth of justice.
In conclusion,people never ceased research interaction between nature and nuture.However,in my opinion, nature only show the personality characteristic.The importance of social is nurture storngly impact early human development.

To begin with ,family play an important role in children's healthy and personality.For example if parents have received a higher education ,they usually known about a variety of nutrition in formations from book or TV .Thus ,their children would have more healthy body and life habits .In term of the personality ,it's true that we often are influenced by our family members .The baby, for instance,would most likely be pessimistic if he or she lived in poor family ,where the baby always received punishment from his parents or brothers.His view of life would be very different from another child who lived happily in a harmonious family with encouragement from parents and psychological support from brothers or sisters.
Secondly,education is a determining factor when we were young.Our thinking be influenced by teacher and classmates . It is a fact that children spend a lot of time in school for studying. In other words ,when they study in school or kindergarten ,they would be change by teachers classmates.For other thing ,education accumulate their knowledge . Wolf child, to offer a good instance,due to a lack of education by contact with human being ,could hardly live in our society or self-develop.
Admittedly,nature also effect one's early development.we almost can clearly find that we are difference in lea ring ability. Which prove the genetic imortant function in this respect.however, not all successful person is smart in children hood.they also need to study and practice.
Therefore,I firmly hold that family and education after birth weigh heavier than nature in regard to one's early development.

In this essay,I will talk about the nurture influence early human development.I think the nurture would influences early human development more than nature. Nature can decide what area you may succeed,but the nurture can decide if you could be successful.First,good environment is good for children's growth.Second,good guidance of parents is very important.last,health is the base of human development.And then,I will show you my opinion.
Firstly,satisfactory variety and advance facilities can help the children study better,like the computer and the electronic tools.Then,a good environment as a tidy and clean room can make the children more happy,it may improve their interesting in their study.
And then,the most important is the good guidance of the parents.As we all know,the parents are the first teacher of their children.They play a important persona in the education of their children's education.There are two parts of guidance,one is the knowledge education,we must make sure the children can receive a good knowledge education.And the other is the psychology education.It is also very important in one's life.Moral character decide the direction of one's growth.
At last,I think the base of life,it is the health.A good health is the base of human to do every thing they want,if you don't have a good health,you may not achieve any aim.The parents must to make sure their children are healthy.So they may study well.If the children always been ill or in poor health,they cannot do every thing.
Above all,the nurture would decide the success or failure of the people.The nurture for the early human development is more important than nature.The other way to say is nurture strongly influences early human development.We must pay more attention to the nurture for the children to make sure they would have a good life.

How can they be achieved is very important.Study skill in the university can decide the final result of your degree.In my opinion.First,the vocabulary is the most important for the international student.Although we may study hard,but the culture background decide that we cannot use the word as well as the local students in the UK or the other English countries.So we must pay more attention to the vocabulary study.Second,we must use the right skill in our study,not only to pay more time to rigid study.Reading more,Writing more,Speaking more English is the base.Above all,we should find some interesting in our study,we must enjoy our academic study,then we could learn more easily in our academic study.

There are some important aims for undertaking academic study, include a desire for future career purpose , gain knowledge , personal growth and so on . This essay is regard to identify the academic study aims and the efficient ways to achieve them.
For my opinion, to develop personal growth is the most important one, the purpose of education is to know who you are , and what you can do. Then you will realize the advantage and disadvantage you have. The more you understand yourself , the better you can do. Personal growth not only means your physical had grow up , but also means your phyche is mature. You know what you do and responsible your behaviour. Then, you will take good prepare for your career.
Furthermore, to improve communication skills between different members of word society . People who cannot live without other person. So communication is a really useful skill when you build your personal relationship. Nowadays, globalization is everywhere. It means that you should master the second language and owe the high skills when you work with other people. Academic study is a good way to get the skill.
After identify the aims, there are effective ways to achieve them.

First ,we should clear the aims of academic study , I feel that learning not only improve our personal qualities ,but also allows us to learn more cultural knowledge ,to learn more about society and life issues. At the same time , we will enjoy the pleasure of learning, because knowledge can give us happiness. Of course , in learning ,we can encountered a number of wise people . I think they are for our personal growth also also plays an important influences.
Secondly, , I think the after class hours arrangement is important ,because if we only rely on knowledge of the class is not enough .I suppose that if we want to have a success in learning ,we should think of more ,see more ,listen more ,and discuss with other more ,so as to make progress. I suspect a wide of reading is also very important. It will expand our mind ,so that we fully understand.
In short ,learning have great impact on a person. Requires not only careful and perseverance , but also requires skill , the only way we can achieve good success.

In my opinion, the most important aim of academic study is to develop personal growth.we can learn plenty of useful knowledge and professional skills from academic study.we will become a person who is very capable. It is more important than getting a high-level degree. All of us can gain a degree with hard working. But having a degree does not mean that we can get a good job definitely. In present-age society, the vast majority of employers will not give a job to people who have a degree immediately. They pay more attention to individual capability. So to develop personal growth should be the best aim to our study.
There are many ways to achieve our best aim. Firstly, we should work hard both inside class and outside class definitely. we will learn numerous theories with our tutors. And also many skills will be learnt too. Secondly,we should do lots of practice by ourselves with those theories and skills. we should have more and more discussions with our friends. Then we can get some ideas from each others and also solve some problems. Lastly, we should do many research in the library. A great deal of useful information could be found in the library.
Overall, with the aim to develop personal growth and the correct way to our goal.,we will be more successful.

Which goals you want to reach should be clear. At first, you enjoy the progress of learning. Should you work where you are interested in and find a logical, reasoned approach, your aims would be reached more likely and more efficiently. The second is co-operation. When you graduate to work for a company, you have to co-operate with associates. Last but not least, gaining a higher-level degree is the general objective on the ground that it can ensure you to have a good career and satisfying salary.
What can we do to help fulfill the aims? At first, exploiting resources in a good way could enhance your studying skills and save your time, so you must distinguish useful information from useless one. In addition, communication with classmates and teachers is very useful for getting inspiration. Expressing your own opinions and sharing your experience could be very pleasant and rewarding. Finally, drawing up a study plan every week and then check it. By analyzing where you did well or badly, you can revise the plan to be suitable for yourself.
Overall, there is no royal road to success. Achieving the aims needs your action and your attitude. Thus you will find you make surprising progress and your way of dealing with things is more mature.

Academic study is commonly viewed as the most essential part of education. Nowadays education is the chief factor to achieve success in our lives. In my opinion, there are some significant aims for undertaking academic study. Meanwhile, people need to think about effective ways to accomplish them.
Aims of academic study can be divided into two parts. Socially, colleges and universities are factories producing educated employees. Academic study help students attain skills which make them well prepared for work. Additionally, the academic study intends to make our career successful and to have a preferred occupation. Everyone wants to have a well paid work, which would bring them a better living.
Now we may think how to achieve these aims? In some sense, favour as well as opportunity goes to those who have sensible goal for their academic study and appropriate achievable methods. Secondly, reduced class size can be expected to produce increased academic achievement. The Experienced and specialized staffs and educators of universities can support the students to accomplish their aims. In addition, academic study does not only depend on what facilities a University provides. It obviously requires hard work, complete concentration, and regular studies from an individual.
It can be concluded that the various goals of academic studies aims to cultivate students for a bright career. Academic study develops of our intellectual, spiritual and logical abilities and springs up personal growth as well.

In my opinion, develop personal growth is the most important aim of everyone study anything, naturally it’s the aim of academic study. Study academic can help you rise skills which can help you to survive, for example, you can find the better job. Academic study helps students achieve and understand a wide area of academically subjects, that expands one's experience in that professional subject.
On the other hand,we also know that have a goal is essential, but action is more important than it. If you want the aim to be achieved, the first thing is studying vocabulary, because if you don’t know the vocabulary, you would not understand what is the mind and you could not communicate with other, then you would lost interest of it. For me, when I communicate with somebody, I always don’t know what he says and I can’t express what I want to say. In addition, you also need to discussion with other, do more practice and other things.
Finally,academic study provides personal growth. In order to achieve this goal, there are a number of vocabulary and practice need to be followed.

First if all, it is widely recignised that to discover more about theories and certain known facts is the most important aim. When students write an essay or a dissertation, they must research sources to prove theories and facts. It is absolutely different from a diary or an ordinary document style, so it would spend a little time adapting writing skill. Secondly, it is apparent that to improve cooperation between different members of world society is the second most important aim. During a seminar, yours partners might come from different nayionalities that have different aspects. The group has to get a common consensus otherwise the group can not finish a seminar or an essay.
Due to students seldom write academic writing before studying university, students must practice research skill. By researching academic Interent or reference books, it can be found that more about theories and certain known facts prove in an essay. On the other hand, during a seminar or group discussion, each partner should abandon self-conscios and accept others views which can improve cooperation with partners.
In conclusion, academic study can improve student's self-study skill and cooperation with other partners. It can strengthen student's ability and help the future career development.

To know the aims of academic study is very important for every student. It can help students study well. While, to enjoy learning is important process. If students know the reasons and why they did it, I think they want become more interesting for them course. Especially those who are lazy students, they should to know the aims of academic study. So, may be able to change their minds what thought the academic study is boring.
On the other side, in the academic study process, we can meet more intelligent people. We can talk with them and soon learn a great deal of useful, intelligent knowledge and minds from them. With their guides, we can gain much vital social experience and equip ourselves with it. It is of great significance that we should not only learn from books but also learn from other people. So entering a university can provide us more opportunities to meet talented people all over the world.
In conclusion, through to achieve the aims of academic study, we will become wiser and responsive. Moreover, if we try our best, we will achievement beyond our expectations.

In my opinion, the methods to reduce the mistakes in grammar in class is listening carefully, asking questions when we are not sure the grammar, and doing plenty of practices. Outside classroom, we should finish the assignments on time. And another method which i believe it is quite useful is that to read some formal books as many as you can, such as academic books and fictions. The correct structure of sentences and articles will be found. we can learn that how to make s sentence exactlly.
Overall, grammar is the biggest problem for me. Certainly, I also have many problems in the other areas. Lots of skills must be improved. A vast mumber of vocabularies must be learnt. So I hope that I can speak English fluently when the class will have been finished. And also essay will be finished easily and prefectly.

The four parts of English study I must study as before,because there are a lot of problem for me.Like a lot words I do not know,and always cannot catch the native people.
First , READING,as everyone know,we can practice ourselves by reading newspaper everyday,magazine,or some books from the library.
Second,WRITING,to finish the homework,to write diary everyday in English or write letter with your friends in English.
Third,SPEAKING,there are a lot of international student in our univercity,and a lot of native student,we can practice our speaking with them,and we also can practice our speaking everywhere,because we are in UK.It is a English country.
The last, listening,as my experience,BBC 6 MINUTES ENGLISH is very good,we can practice our listening here,when you do everything,you can listen to it and to get with it.
Finaly,I think the teachers in the study group are very good,they can help us with all the problem of the English study.If we can catch them in the classes,I think we will be better than before.

I think my problem is vocabulary, I always forget what I just remember,but this is not the point. When somebody really want to learn something, he will try his best to achieve it, not just thinking or talking. I want to say something which could be useful.
You are a new teacher, you have more passional, we are the close age, these are very good for us. I was very scared for my English when I just arrived British, so I tried anything what I can do,and there is something I think it working. Listen to the radio all the time, whatever you are doing, because it can make you used to the speed of speaking, it can make your subconscious working. Included sleeping, playing game or other thing. For a student, we need the confidence which is come from teacher, for example, you ask me some questions, my answer is wrong, and next time you ask me again,or talk with us, everytime you talk to me that is very lucky for me,but you know I am not good at talking (but it is better than before),it is not mean I don't like to talk with you, I think most of the student have the same fell, these can build our confidence. And give us more chance who is not better than other. We often have many problems in the class, but we dun dare to ask it in the class, maybe we are worry about other one who will jeer, I don't know how to solve it.
Anyway, I will try my best, even I am far from other one.
By the way, I hope this blog will become a tool to help us, but not just a place which we hand in our homework. I think my diary is the last one, then you can see it at the first. Ho~~ho~~~
Learner Diary 1 - Freya
Due to studying Japanese the whole year in 2009, I find my English is much worse than before, especially in writing and listening. Although I can understand many words when I read the paragraph, I cannot write them fluently. As for listening, it was difficult to pass listening test, but I could catch on to what teachers and friends said.
Talking about speaking, the biggest problem is that I was so nervous that my voice sounded quivered as I spoke English.
Reading is my best aspect that I just would like to improve my reading speed. I hope I could read English as quickly as Chinese.
In short, I think I should attach importance to every part of studying English.
What can you do to improve these areas, either inside or outside the classroom?
From Monday, I have planned to listen to BBC and to exercise my writing speed about an hour every day. Movever reading more books can expand my vocabulary and broaden my horizon as well. In addition, I ought to communicate with others to enhance my speaking. For example, I will make the best of kitchen's time that talk with the flatmates as much as possible. Finally, I should dare to express my opinion in class.
What do you hope to achieve in this class?
I understand it is my own responsibility to improve my English, but I hope I can get some useful skills from this class to make this process of learning as efficient as possible. So that my life in this new country would become easier and leave me a good memory in my life.

For the time being, i should adapt the ways of English talking and accept the way of thinking as soon as possible. I would try to practise my oral language with British students or teachers mostly. Regardless of either inside or outside the classroom, i should encouraged myself to talk and listen frequently.
Hopely, i want to improve my English ability up to a higher level with the help of teacher's induction. I believe i will do better in the near future.
learner diary 1-Annie
In my opinion, I need pay 100% attention during the class, and pay my best to participate it. Try to make more firends who are from different countires, and speaking English both class and free time. On the other side, listening BBC &VOA also a quite good idea. I like study different culture and meet people, travel is also a glorious way to both study and relax.
So far, I am very enjoy my class, I hope I will step up a new level, a different me...I believe that where there is a will, there is a way. no one is a perfect person, but if our pay more effect on weakness part, finally will be change to a beautiful butterfly.

Learner Diary 1---Vivien (Yingying Cai)
In the listening , I feel my vocabulary is not enough . Because when people talk about to me or join in the listening test . I can not hear the some one say the word clear. In the speaking , I felt a lack of exercise , so it is always not an accurate expression of meaning. For the reading , I think the problem the same as the listening , so the vocabulary is very important . Of course , the method is also important to read .If not the right way ,you can not read the article quickly. For the writing , I should practice more and more ,and try to writing diaries or reading what is learned . So that training is not only the logic of the essays , but also will not forget the spelling of the word .
Whether in the classroom ,or after school . I think the conversation with others is a fast way to improve , not only to practice listening , and speaking practice . And reading some books , magazines or newpapers when we are free . Then try to write something to improve . I hope that after this course finished ,my English can be fully enhanced.
Learner Diary 1--Alex
For my part, I should work on listening and speaking, and these are areas my weakness. As you know, I am received knowledge through listening from teacher and other people speak. Other sides, the listening test not easy, if i want pass and get high mark, I should work on it. About speaking, it is important for communicate with people, sometime I can't to clear express my idea, and my vocabulary is limited. So, I should work on this area and improve it.
What can you do to improve these areas, either inside or outside the classroom?
While, in my opinion, to improve my listening and speaking, I must pay attention and follow teacher. While, I will always use English when talking with partner and group where inside the classroom. Outside the classroom, I can make friends for local people to practice my speaking and listening. For more, I also can use internet resource. For example, listen BBC of six minutes English or follow they speak to practice speaking.
What do you hope to achieve in this class?
I hope achieve improve my English level, especially listening and speaking parts. I hope have sufficient capacity to cope with exams of listen. And I can clearly express my idea commutation with others.

As for me, I was very enjoy communicate with each other, this could help me improve my spoken English, and further more, cause I enjoy that way , I can improve fast. If you want to improve your English, firstly, please love it. In some degree, interest is very important and helpful.
On-campus , there are lots if ways we use English, and also there are lots of opportunities we could show on. So participate, you will build your confident, this is all- important. Outside the classroom, do your assignment on time , and find your problems . Learning with question is really a effective way .
Weather inside or outside, practice more, practice , practice, practice.
Practice makes perfect! For example, I have a little bit weak on my listening part, so I should pay more attention on that, and intensify the part.
The most problem of me is that I was not a patience girl , and when I meet long listening Materials, I feel lost my way.
I am very like jennifer’s class, and very enjoy the course. I hope, I could achieve a new level in this class. Hope that I could very fluently and clearly express my idea. No obstacle when I communicate with local people, especially in listening part, I could have a new breakthrough in this part.

First of all, in listening part, when I listen the radio or BBC learning English , I can understand 70%. Sometimes I get lost , because I can not concentrate on listening. Besides, I do not know how to note-taking, because I can not distinguish where the point is. Secondly, in reading part, I read a essay which is very slowly. I can understand a essay but I do not know how to find the answer quickly and how to write paraphrase and summary. Thirdly, when I write my writing, I always write simple sentences. I seldom use complicated sentences to express my opinion. I think that this is my writing drawbak. Fourthly, when I talk to my friends or my teacher, I can not speak English fluently. Maybe I always speak Chinese with my friends , so I am lack of practice speaking English. Moreover, I do not like presentation in front of everybody,because when I am in presentation, I am alway nervous.
I must practice these four parts. I can read a newspaper to improve my reading skill and by reading a newspaper, I can learn the writer how to write a eaasy and use complicated sentences. I fortunately live in campus,so I have a lot of chances to speak English. Especially, my housemates who come from different nationalities. If we want to talk each other , we must speak English. In class, I have to cooperate with the teacher and concentrate on the class. The most important thing is I have to participate the class which practices English a good place. Besides, when the teacher gives us homework, I must do my homework. Following the teacher step, I think my English can make progress. After finishing the class, I hope that I can improve listening, reading , writing and speaking.
