You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Take Naps at Work.Apologize to No One[A]In the past two weeks I’ve taken three naps at work,a total of an hour or so of shut-eye while on the clock.And I have no shame or uncertainty about doing it.I couldn’t feel better about it,and my productivity reflects it,too.[B]Sleeping on the job is one of those workplace taboos-like leaving your desk for lunch or taking an afternoon walk-that we’re taught to look down on.If someone naps at2p.m.while the rest of us furiously write memos and respond to emails,surely it must mean they’re slacking off(偷懒).Or so the assumption goes.[C]Restfulness and recharging can take a back seat to the perception and appearance of productivity.It’s easier to stay on a virtual hamster(仓鼠)wheel of activity by immediately responding to every email than it is to measure aggregate productivity over a greater period of time.But a growing field of occupational and psychological research is building the case for restfulness in pursuit of greater productivity.[D]Companies are suffering from tremendous productivity problems because people are stressed out and not recovering from the workday,said Josh Bersin,Principal and Founder of Bersin by Deloitte.“They’re beginning to realize that this is their problem,and they can’t just say to people,‘Here’s a work-life balance course,go teach yourself how to manage your inbox,’”Mr.Bersin said.“It’s way more complicated than that.”[E]To be sure,the ability to nap at work is far from widespread,experts said.Few among us have the luxury of being able to step away for a half-hour snoozefest.But lunch hours and coffee breaks can be great times to duck out,and your increased productivity and alertness will be all the evidence you need to make your case to inquiring bosses.[F]In an ideal world,we’d all solve this problem by unplugging early and getting a good night’s sleep. Here’s our guide on how to do just that.But the next best thing is stealing away for a quick power nap when you’re dragging after lunch.[G]In a study published in Nature Neuroscience,researchers tested subjects on their perceptual performance four times throughout the day.Performance deteriorated with each test,but subjects who took a30-minute nap between tests stopped the deterioration in performance,and those who took a60-minute nap even reversed it.[H]“Naps had the same magnitude of benefits as full nights of sleep if they had a quality of nap.”said Sara Mednick,a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University of California,Riverside.[I]Dr.Mednick,a sleep researcher and the author of Take a Nap!Change Your Life,said daytime napping can have many of the benefits of overnight sleep,and different types of naps offer specific benefits.[J]For example,Dr.Mednick said a20-to60-minute nap might help with memorization and learning specific bits of information.It’s just long enough to enter stage-two sleep,or non-rapid eye movement(R.E.M.)sleep.[K]After60minutes,you start getting into R.E.M.sleep,most often associated with that deep,dreaming state we all enjoy at night R.E.M.sleep can improve creativity,perceptual processing and highly associativethinking,which allows you to make connections between disparate ideas,Dr.Mednick said.Beyond that,your best bet is a90-minute nap,which will give you a full sleep cycle.[L]Any nap,however,can help with alertness and perception and cut through the general fog that creeps in during the day,experts said.[M]So how did we even arrive at this point where aptitude is inextricably tied(紧密相连)to working long, concentrated hours?Blame technology,but think broader than smartphones and laptops;the real issue is that tech has enabled us to be available at all times.[N]“We went through a period where people were in denial and business leaders were ignoring it,”Mr. Bersin said.“They were assuming that if we give people more tools,more emails,more Slack,more chatter,and we’ll just assume they can figure out how to deal with it all.And I think they’ve woken up to the fact that this is a big problem,and it is affecting productivity,engagement,health,safety,wellness and all sorts of things.”[O]It isn’t just office workers who can benefit from an afternoon siesta(午睡).A2015study published in Current Biology looked at the at the sleeping habits of three hunter-gatherer preindustrial societies in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia.[P]“They’re active in the morning,then they get in the shade under the trees and have a sort of quiet time, but they’re not generally napping,”said Jerome Siegel,professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences,and director of the U.C.L.A.Center for Sleep Research,a co-author of the study.“Then they do some work and go to sleep,and they sleep through the night.”[Q]Still,Mr.Siegel said,“the only genuine way to solve daytime sleepiness and fatigue starts the night before with a solid night’s sleep.”The real Holy Grail of restfulness is a regular sleep schedule with ideally seven or eight hours of sleep each night,which experts say is optimal.[R]“Daytime napping certainly does increase alertness,”Mr.Siegel said.“But it’s not as simple as going to the gas station and filling the tank.”[S]He also advises avoiding caffeine late in the day and waking around the same time every morning,even if you can’t get to sleep at the same time every night,This helps acclimate(使适应)your body to your regular wake-up time,regardless of how much sleep you got the night before.[T]So if you’ve made it this far and you’re interested in giving workday naps a try(or just starting to nod off),here’s a quick guide to the perfect nap;Find a quiet,unoccupied space where you won’t be disturbed.Try to make your area as dim as possible(or invest in a sleep mask you can keep in the office).Earplugs might help.too.Aim for around20minutes.Any longer than that and you’re likely to wake up with sleep inertia(睡眠惰性)，which will leave you even groggier(头脑昏沉的)than before.36.Participants’perceptual performance became better after sleeping one hour between tests in an article inNature Neuroscience.37.Jerome Siegel found that only by sleeping soundly through the previous night could people tackle theirweariness during the day.38.Our talent is closely bound to working with concentration for long periods of time because technologymakes us accessible24/7.39.Taking a nap at work is normally regarded as laziness that should be held in contempt and avoided inworkplace.40.Between20to60minutes,people can get into non-REM sleep which may improve memory and learningability according to Dr.Mednick.41.People can doze off at lunch and coffee breaks and defended themselves by saying their improvedproductivity and alertness when bosses investigated their whereabouts.42.The author’s tips on taking a perfect nap involve sleeping place,environment and duration.43.The author believes business leaders are aware that availability at any time due to technology has negativeeffects on every aspect of people’s life.44.The optimal length of a nap was an hour and a half so that people could go through a complete sleep cycle.45.Josh Bersin mentioned the cause of companies’big productivity problems and the solution which needsmore that just employees’efforts.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Every office worker hates meetings.But it’s a strange sort of hate,similar to the hatred of Londoners for the Northern Line,or New Yorkers for tourists who walk too slowly:the dislike is real,yet if the despised thing were to vanish,it’d be like surrendering a piece of your soul.When researchers probed into why people put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity, they found something-those who resent and dread meetings the moat also defend them as a“necessary evil”, sometimes with great passion.True,research suggests that meetings take up vastly more of the average manager’s time than they used to.True,done badly,they’re associated with lower levels of innovation and employee wellbeing(幸福).But that’s just office life,right?It’s not supposed to be fun.That’s why they call it work.Underlying(引起)this attitude is an assumption that’s drummed into us not just as workers but as children, parents and romantic partners;that more communication is always a good thing.So suggestions abound for(大量存在)communicating better in meetings-for example,hold them standing up,so speakers will come to the point more quickly.But even when some companies consider abolishing meetings entirely,the principle that more communication is better isn’t questioned.If anything,it’s reinforced when such firms introduce“flat”management structures,with bosses always available to everyone,plus plenty of electronic distraction.In fact,constant connectivity is disastrous for both job satisfaction and the bottom line.And anyway,once you give it three seconds’thought,isn’t it cleat that more communication frequently isn’t a good thing?Often,the difference between a successful marriage and a second-rate one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid.At work,it’s surely many more than four,though for a different reason;office communication comes at the cost of precisely the kind of focus that’s essential to good work.Yet we’re so accustomed to seeing talking as a source of solutions-for resolving conflicts or finding new ideas-that it’s hard to see when it is the problem.46.What does the author say about meetings?A)Londoners hate them as well as the Northern Line.B)They can help to keep workers’physical and spiritual health.C)Workers might be reluctant to give up them completely.D)New Yorkers dislike meetings more than Londoners.47.What did researchers find about people’s attitude towards meeting?A.Their attitude and behavior are paradoxical.B)People who hate meetings the most are senior insane.C)Those who like meetings might be considered insane.D)More meetings are regarded as a sign of less innovation.48.Why do people think that more communication is always a good thing?A)Because the concept is firmly believed by workers.B)Because everyone loves to communicate with others.C)Because the idea has been instilled into people’s mind.D)Because communication is vital for building relationships.49.What does the author think of the“flat”management structure?A)It forces bosses to frequently contact their employees.B)It helps to soften employees’bottom line of work.C)It is definitely a disaster to employees’job satisfaction.D)It strengthens people’s deeply-rooted notion of communication.50.What is the author’s argument about office communication?A)It is an effective way to solve office conflicts.B)It affects work efficiency in a negative way.C)It should come to a halt at intervals.D)It is useful for workers to find new ideas.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.The Internet has enabled the spread of information at lightning speed.This information revolution has created tremendous business opportunities for online publishers,but not all of them maintain proper quality-control mechanisms to ensure that only good information is being shared.Instead,many publishers aim simply to make money by whatever means possible,with no regard for the implications for society at large.When selfish publishers set up shops online,the primary goal is to publish as much as possible,often at the cost of quality.In this respect,many publishers start numerous online journals focused on overlapping(重叠的)disciplines—to increase their total number of published papers—and hire young business managers who do not have any experience in either science or publishing.In some cases,online publishers even give up peer review, while still presenting themselves as scientific journals—deception designed to take advantage of scientists who simply want to share their research.If publishers structure their business to make more revenue,it often does harm to their products.When publishers start journals with overlapping domains,in combination with the pressure to publish more studies,this could promote the publication of marginal or even questionable articles.Moreover,publishers with multiple overlapping journals and journals with very narrow specialties(专业)increase the demands on the time and efforts of willing reviewers.With the fact that reviewers are generally not compensated for their time and effort,journal editors are often unable to find enough reviewers to keep up with the increased publication rate.To improve the situation and increase the trust in scientific community,the pressure to publish must be reduced.Funding and promotion decisions should not be based on the number of publications,but on the quality of those publications and a researcher’s long-term productivity and instructions.And that’s just the start.We need additional mechanisms,such as Beall’s list of predatory(掠夺的)publishers, to alert scientists to fake journals and fake articles.In addition,the price for online publication must be controlled and a mechanism must be put in place to honor and reward hard-working reviewers.51.What does the author think of online publishers?A)A small proportion of them can guarantee their publishing quality.B)They have lots of opportunities to renovate their business models.C)Many of them tend to try every means to make a buck.D)Social impact is their first priority when publishing books.52.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that______.A)peer review generally is a criterion to identify academic journalsB)researchers focus their research on the combination of disciplinesC)scientists care about their publications rather than researchD)young business managers are willing to face new challenges53.Why can’t publishers find enough reviewers to review papers?A)Reviewers are pressed for time when reviewing articles.B)Reviewers’gains can’t make up for what they have done.C)Publishers may compel reviewers to accept marginal articles.D)Publishers urge reviewers to increase publication rate rapidly.54.What is the author’s suggestion for online publication?A)More weight should be put on the quantity of publications.B)It is worthwhile to reward diligent reviewers for their effort.C)Fake journals should be reported to a regulatory organization.D)The price of online publication should be lowered greatly.55.What is the main idea of this passage?A)Online publishers should take measures to fight against fake scientific journals.B)Online publishers are pursuing their work efficiency at the cost of quality.C)Online publishers business models are quite likely to harm their publications.D)Online publishers are sacrificing the quality of research articles to make money.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.春节是中国的传统节日，相当于美国的圣诞节。

The master,quite pale,went to his table,and said in a controlled voice:“Who did it?”No one replied.The master cried out once more,raising his voice still louder,“Who is it?”Then Garrone,moved to pity for poor Crossi,rose sharply and said resolutely,“It was I.”The master looked at him,looked at the confused scholars,then said in a calm voice,“It was not you.”And after a moment.“The culprit shall not be punished.Let him rise!”Crossi rose and said,weeping“They were striking me and insulting me,and I lost my head and threw it.”“Sit down,”said the master.“Let those who provoked(激怒)him rise.”Four rose and hung their heads.“You,”said the master,“have insulted an unfortunate companion;you have struck a weak person who could not defend himself. You have committed one of the most shameful acts!”Then he went over to Garrone and looked him straight in the eye,and said to him,“You are a noble soul.”Garrone profited by the occasion to murmur some words,I know not what,in the ear of the master;and he,turning towards the four boys,said abruptly,“I forgive you.”56.What finally provoked Crossi to throw an inkstand?A.Franti made fun of Crossi’s mother walking with a dead arm.B.Franti imitated the way Crossi’s mother carried her basket.C.The boys hit Crossi in the face hard with chestnut shells.D.The boys pulled Crossi upon a bench and laughed at him loudly.57.The underlined word“culprit”probably means________.A.advocateB.leaderC.captainD.offender58.The master praised Garrone as a noble soul because________.A.he dared to speak his mindB.he forgave the four bulliesC.he took the blame for CrossiD.he brought bad guys to justice59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Generous DeedB.A Domestic IncidentC.Making the Right ChoiceD.To Believe or Not to Believe（B）60.What should Linda do if she would like to swap（交换）a Harry Potter book withher classmate Jenny who lives in the same neighborhood?A.Leave the book on Jenny’s doorstep.B.Call the delivery service for help.C.Go to the post office to mail the book.D.Leave a note for Jenny to pick the book up.61.At the website,visitors can________.A.share ideas on the titles they fancy readingB.check out the new books on saleC.list the books they would like to swapD.advertise their favorite books62.Which of the following statements about swapping is TRUE?A.Swapping is restricted to books and related items.B.Swapping is organized and run on a voluntary basis.C.Swapping is open to school-aged children only.D.Swapping sets a great challenge for the participants.(C)Elizabeth wouldn’t walk or talk as an infant.Angela’s left leg was so enlarged that it hurt to stand.Emma needed a breathing machine just to sleep.Their suffering may take different forms,but their stories share a common thread:Neither they nor their families knew what was actually causing these issues.Undiagnosed diseases are more common than you might think.Tens of millions of Americans likely suffer from disorders they cannot name.For many,the symptoms are minor.But in some cases,patients come to their doctors with serious problems caused by diseases that challenge medical knowledge.Those cases are precisely where the Undiagnosed Diseases Network(UDN)steps in.Established in2008,the UDN’s mission is to provide answers for patients with diseases that doctors are unable to diagnose.Anyone can apply to the program and the UDN works hard to screen every application it receives.Today,the UDN covers12clinical sites around the country,and has evaluated over1,400patients.More than400of those patients have received a diagnosis thanks to the UDN.In some of these cases,the network is able to match a patient with an already known condition.In others,UDN researchers must work to describe an entirely new disease and enter it into the medical dictionary.The program has added at least25entirely new diseases in this way.Additionally,the UDN covers the cost of the tests,meaning patients aren’t burdened with crushing medical debt.This kind of groundbreaking work helps more than just the patients themselves. Insights from studying rare diseases offer new knowledge about the human body that can benefit all of us.For example,the discovery of statins,a class of drugs commonly recommended today to help regulate high blood pressure,arose from the study of a rare genetic disorder.“I think they’ve really advanced and changed the whole model for how we approach many of these illnesses,”says Anne Pariser,director of the Office of Rare Diseases Research.She says the UDN’s multidisciplinary approach—bringing different specialists together to talk about challenging cases—has helped advance the field of rare disease research,especially when it comes to genetic diseases.Living with a disease without a name can be its own kind of suffering.“You grow up feeling like,I’m in this,crazy,all by myself,and no one really understandsme,”says Angela Moon,a UDN participant.For patients like her,the UDN offers hope for treatment,but also for finally being seen.63.The purpose of the first paragraph is to________.A.arouse the readers’interest in the UDNB.give a vivid description of rare diseasesC.introduce the background for the UDN’s foundingD.raise a complicated problem that will be solved later64.The fourth paragraph mainly talks about_________.A.the way the UDN is operated nationwideB.the progress the UDN has made so farC.the reasons why the UDN is so popularD.the development stages the UDN has gone through65.What can be learned about Angela Moon?A.She used to live in despair.B.She failed to identify with others.C.She is receiving treatment now.D.There will be a cure for her condition.66.What can be inferred about the UDN’s work model?A.It has helped spread the knowledge of undiagnosed diseases.B.It prioritizes participants’privacy over solving medical mysteries.C.It is specifically designed to deal with challenging genetic diseases.D.It emphasizes close cooperation between specialists in separate fields. Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people.B.That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.C.Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety.D.We experience the spotlight effect not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well.E.People overestimate the extent to which their actions and appearance are noted by others,a phenomenon known as the spotlight effect.F.We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.The Spotlight EffectHave you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well,here’s some good news:it’s likely that no one even noticed.The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.(67)____________________Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do,we may assume thateveryone around us will notice.The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game,have a bad hair day,or give a terrible answer in class.It can also appear when we score a big goal,ask someone on a date,or do a good deed.In these moments,it feels like everyone is watching.The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes.Every person is the main character in his or her story,and the events of our lives seem to have great importance.(68)____________________The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience.However,in some cases,it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety.We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked.(69)____________________However,this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions,then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.(70)____________________Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you.Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you,rather than focusing on yourself. If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family,it will help you be less self-conscious.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Filling up on InformationPeople now have access to more information than ever before thanks to the Internet.While there are clearly benefits to it,there are also unintended consequences. One in particular is information overload,commonly referred to as“infobesity.”As the name suggests,it involves consuming an unhealthy amount of information.Infobesity comes in a number of different forms and affects people in a variety of ways.Business people,for example,may struggle to make decisions when faced with a huge amount of information.For younger people,infobesity is often linked to their use of social media.Young people may be bombed with messages from various social media apps.Furthermore,they may feel the urge to c onstantly check their phones so as n ot to miss out on anything.Even online shoppers are affected.With so much information and so many choices available,even the simplest purchase can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety.Infobesity also has a negative effect on how long our attention lasts.According to a study by Microsoft,the average Canadian now spends less than10seconds digesting a piece of media before they move on to something new.This data raises concerns that our ability to pay attention to things will continue to decline as this information overload increases.So,what can be done to prevent the effects of this condition?While there is no easy answer,one obvious step is to limit our sources of information.Try to only focus on things that really matter to you and on just one thing at a time.Taking a break from your cellphone can also help reduce your stress.And who knows?Since technology got us into this mess in the first place,perhaps it will also present solutions in the future.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.为什么不安装一个能自动检测烟雾的装置呢?(capable)73.刻有汉字的图章十分吸引人，因而他买了一个当作纪念品。

IntroductionComputers and web applications bring a significant revolution in our social life and especially to our traditional mechanism of education. The era of education enable us to access mass of information whose remarkable character is digital so that computers can recognize and deal with this kind of expression of information. Digital campus construction is already on going in order to catch the new trend in quality education. The main functions of digital campus cover with distance such as web classroom, courseware on demand, distance examination. The digital campus information management system includes information management system, office automation system, administration examination system and virtual community such as online tutoring, bulletin board system etc. With the intensification of distance web education, how to estimate learning effect locally is an important issue. A comprehensive education system which utilizes information technology of the network to carry on college course to educate, it offers from the network classroom, essential study links discussing, answering questions, and processing homework to examination to teachers and students. This system should also support management activity of the educational administration, such as online course project, roll management, follow-up of quality. The self-adapted examination system is a sub-system of the Networking Institute's demonstration project. In Internet Universal, distance learning is by telephone, television, video and communications, asynchronous transmission mode of teaching information. In recent years, based on the introduction Internet Distance learning, World Wide Web Recognized as the most powerful curriculum information dissemination media, the Internet has hundreds of courses, there are more schools and teachers are being considered for Web Teaching. For Web Teaching, and that is using the World Wide Web as a teaching medium, transmission teaching in the implementation of online teaching, teaching management, and online testing and online exchanges. Realistic and complete implementation based on Web Teaching requires a user-friendly and efficient support online teaching platform support. Currently there are some in the international market such products, such as Lotus Company Learning Space , the British Columbia University computer science department development Web CT ,WBT System Company Top Class And Canada Simon Fraser University development Virtual. Many companies and schools are also being developed or is ready to develop similar software, such as the key institutions in preparation for the development of modern distancelearning and teaching support system. Online teaching platform should be aware of the support functions, which can or should provide the ancillary support, all of which feature current products, for effective online teaching is very important.2.The main characteristicTeachers can keep a student's screens' voice display and send information to all students or a group of broadcast; teachers can watch and listen to a student 's information, and control the student's keyboard and mouse , and do "hand in hand" type of guidance, and arbitrary switching among students ; and remote window control guidance, the window of multimedia network classroom software can control the intelligent rolling and teachers teaching in various other functions at the same time, the teacher can remote control machine on a number of students at the same time and also can let all (a group or a) student screens arranged in "the black screen", and lock the keyboard and mouse, reminding the attention of students; intelligent rolling screen: the screen broadcast and remote control operation uses the original smart scroll, free rolling technology, which need not undertake screen scaling, receiving students in the broadcast in the process of watching the operation; the mouse capture: it supports soft cursor, animated mouse cursor, mouse cursor broadcasting, even in windowed mode which can reflect the real-time changes in morphology and mouse; multi-point monitoring: multimedia network classroom software support multiple windows simultaneously with the same When the watch, which can also watch window distributed across multiple machines, real-time monitoring of all the other students in the state machine; broadcast: multimedia network classroom software support more audio and video file formats, support for VCD, MP3, W AV and other documents play online ; automatic login: students on the machine automatically log in the teacher machine; multimedia network classroom software has strong system stability, ensure the teaching process smoothly; perfect functions, beautiful interface which is easy to use the direct and concise operation, using the unified mode of operation; software, multimedia network classroom software does not need a server, simple installation, convenient upgrade and maintenance; hardware compatibility: multimedia network classroom software contents all the card, sound card, display card and can demonstrate good performance, and won't appear any unstable phenomenon.3.

Cross-Cultural Understanding of Interface Design A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Icon Recognit
Cross-Cultural Understanding of Interface Design: A Cross-CulturalAnalysis of Icon RecognitionVanessa Evers, Agnes Kukulska-Hulme, Ann JonesInstitute of Educational Technology, The Open UniversityWalton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK6 7AAv.evers@1 AbstractThis paper reports the findings of a small-scale study that investigated cultural aspects of understanding the website of a virtual campus. Results indicate differences in expectations and understanding due to the users’ knowledge of everyday life and real world experience, and suggest that the campus-metaphor that was used is not universally transferable.2 IntroductionHow universal is the campus metaphor? The context for this question is the emergence of virtual universities and colleges, which are beginning to deliver distance learning courses and programs of study on the web. The recipients of this type of education may rarely, or even never, come into physical contact with the academic institution, other students or the teaching staff. They may be located in different parts of the world throughout their studies, and represent a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Typically, their first impression of a virtual university and what it has to offer comes from visiting its website, which in many cases features a pictorial representation of a campus (such as a map). Examples of virtual campuses are: DirectED Campus Centre (/core.html), Clyde virtual university (), IDEA Demonstration Campus (/level2frame.html), Virtual-U (http://virtual-u.cs.sfu.ca/vuweb/), and PIONEER Prime Interactive online Educational Environment (/pioneer.htm).The challenge in creating a virtual campus is to "turn the buildings inside out", so that their content and function is immediately discernible. This appears to be the thinking behind the design of the website of a Canadian company, DirectED, which offers distance education courses over the web. Their campus homepage is a stylised drawing of ten eye-catching "building" icons connected by paths (see Figure 1.).Preece defines icons as small pictorial images that are used to represent system objects, application tools and utilities and commands (Preece, 1994). The authors believe that the pictures of buildings in the DirectED website can be treated as icons since they are pictorial representations that represent the underlying webpages2.1 Human-Computer Interface Design and CultureThere is a body of literature on cultural differences in attitudes towards computers (e.g. Weil and Rosen, 1994; Marcoulides and Wang, 1991), interface design (e.g. Evers and Day, 1997) and internationalisation and localisation (e.g. Nielsen, 1990; Galdo and Nielsen, 1996). An extensive review of these areas and more references can be found in Evers’ literature review on cross-cultural understanding of interface design (Evers, 1999). The findings of these studies are consistent in showing that culture does indeed influence attitudes towards computers and preferences in interface design. However, very little of the work on cross-cultural aspects of interface design has looked at users in real environments. The study described in this paper is part of a research project which aims to address this issue by carrying out observational studies of real users from diverse cultures to see what kinds of issues and problems occur in using international interfaces.3 A User StudyDirectED’s campus homepage was chosen as the focus for an empirical research project aimed at investigating how users from different cultural backgrounds understand aspects of website interface design (in this case the campus metaphor and the meanings of the various components of the campus). It was hypothesised that the expectance of which information would be behind an icon would depend partly on the user's understanding of the icon, the label that goes with it, or a combination of both. The interpretation of both icon and label was likely to be dependent on one's cultural background.The main aim was to find out how users from different cultural backgrounds interpret the meaning of graphical and textual elements of a campus metaphor.In the pilot phase of the project, users from four cultural backgrounds were involved (English, Dutch, Sri-Lankan and Japanese). The initial results are now available for 4 English, 6 Dutch, 4 Sri Lankan and 2 Japanese participants.3.1 MethodologyThe subjects evaluated for the pilot were mostly students in secondary education. The English sample consisted of students from an urban secondary (non-selective) school whilst the Dutch students were from a secondary school known as a Regional School Community. The Sri Lankan professionals were part of a visitors group to the Open University and the Japanese students (both girls) are from a local International School.The pilot used the following methods and instruments:• A website was chosen to be evaluated by the students. The site used was the DirectED Campus Center homepage (.core.html) which is based on a map of a virtual campus (Figure 1). The website informs people about distance learning courses and is used to communicate with students. It is very colourful and graphical and likely to appeal to students around the age of 17 that are interested in going to university.• A task/question list was developed that informed subjects about the study, explained how to get to the DirectED website, and guided the subjects through the site in a structured pre-set sequence. The questions were designed to find out what the subjects think the objects on the screen represent, what their real world knowledge is of each object, what they expect to find after clicking on the object and to record their reactions to the information ‘behind’ the object.• The subjects each participated in individual interview sessions of approximately 45 minutes in which they evaluated the DirectED website. The researcher sat with the student and asked questions as the students worked through the site. The student also received a copy in the question/task list so they could read where they were and what to do next. The researcher encouraged the subjects to think aloud and asked additional questions to probe the users’ thoughts as they navigated through the site.• The researcher made notes and interviews were audiotaped for later reference.The question/task lists focused primarily on the objects that were displayed on the first page of the website (Figure 1). The following is a set of example questions that were used:• What do you think this page is about?• Have a look at the picture on the screen, what does it show?• Look at this object on the screen, what does it represent?• What are three things you would normally do in a library?• What sort of information do you think you will get when you click on this object?• Click on the object and have a look at what information comes up. What do you think of it? Is this what you expected? If not, how is it different?Figure 1. Map of the virtual campus as shown on the DirectED website (©Copyright 1997 DirectED Incorporated).Other questions were used to find out about the subjects’ computer experience and their notion of a ‘campus’.It became clear that the Dutch subjects needed to be addressed in their own language in order to get an understanding of their thoughts. Young Dutch adults around the age of 17 have a good understanding of the English language but are not able to express themselves in a way that represents their true opinion. Therefore, English subjects were addressed in English and Dutch subjects were addressed in Dutch. Questions in the question/task list were translated for this purpose.Before reporting the findings of the study, the concept of a campus metaphor will first be discussed in the following section. 3.2 The Campus MetaphorIt has been suggested that the function of a metaphor in human-computer interfaces is to draw on existing knowledge structures to make a new system easier to learn (Carroll and Thomas, 1982). Good software uses a metaphor, which allows people to draw on their mental models of how the world works. All screen objects should fit the metaphor and act in sympathy with the users' expectations. The function of a campus metaphor should be to make it easier to communicate information about a university or college, to direct candidates towards relevant courses, put them in touch with other people, deliver teaching and assessment, and so on. Its effectiveness is premised on users' familiarity with the facilities of a conventional learning institution.In the UK, a university campus is defined as the area of land containing its main buildings. Only some universities have their buildings on one clearly defined piece of land, so it is not something that is automatically associated with every university. The situation is different in other countries, for example in continental Europe, older universities tend to have buildings scattered over several parts of a city, while in the US, a single location is far more common, and the word "campus" is habitually used. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the word "campus" is being used with increasing frequency in the UK, to distinguish between "online courses" and "campus-based courses". US usage includes the phrase "off-campus" (I live off-campus; campus and off-campus sites), which would be quite unusual to hear in the UK (usage sentences were found in COBUILD, ).3.3 FindingsInitial results indicate that the students involved have different expectations arising from their everyday knowledge and experience. The subjects found it hard to make sense of the virtual campus. Distance learning was outside their experience, and a substantial number of them had never visited a university campus. The campus metaphor was not one that was immediately recognised, so it was only helpful to some subjects. The graphic design of this particular virtual campus brings out the connections or paths between campus buildings. One person remained convinced throughout that the website was about jobs, working abroad, or going on business trips. This person's reference to a "sports campus, like a leisure centre" suggests that "campus" does not necessarily connote a place where a university or college is located (e.g. The “Campus” as Microsoft’s’ headquarters in Seattle is called).When asked what sort of people the page was for, English subjects tended to say 'students' or 'business people' while Dutch subjects focused on prospective students or people who are considering their future. Subjects often conceded that an unexpected event (one they had not predicted) was, in retrospect, a logical one (e.g. "looking back it is quite logical"). This seemed to be a spontaneous comment that occurred quite frequently, especially with Dutch subjects. ‘Logical’ is a word used often in Dutch everyday language. The word is 'logisch' and it can be compared to a term like 'that figures'. It is mostly used on its own or in a sentence such as ‘that is logical’ (dat is logisch). English subjects also conceded in retrospect but to a lesser extent, using terms such as ‘it makes sense’.The remainder of the section will explore the range of possible meanings for several of the icons and associated labels in the DirectED website, incorporating some findings from the user study.LIBRARY• The "library" picture (a stack of books) refers to an already outdated meaning of "library". When asked what they normally do in a library, 50% of the English, 33% of the Dutch 0% of the Sri lankan and 05 of the Japanese mentioned using computers or CD-ROMs there (in addition to reading or borrowing books, etc.).• One Dutch person made the point that although the word 'library' is fine, you have to learn how to use it. Presumably this means you have to learn how it is used in that website, its particular meaning in that context. A composite picture (e.g.books and computers) would help to make the meaning more explicit (if the function of the library in the website was to give details of books and direct access to electronic documents, for instance.). A composite picture could also have been used for the "bookstore", which sells T-shirts and other commercial goods as well as books.STUDENT CENTRE• The word "student" - in student placement, student centre - was used by several subjects in decoding the overall meaning of the page. Compound words, e.g. "student centre", have the general advantage of being more precise than single words.This precision can be difficult to convey through pictures or icons.• The "student centre" gave rise to a wide variety of interpretations, (e.g. list of events, restaurant area, asking for help, list of jobs along the lines of a "job centre").STUDENT PLACEMENT• "Student placement" suggested a number of different meanings, including getting a place at that university, and a gathering point for students from all corners of the world. Noticing either the label or the picture of a globe may have influenced peoples' respective interpretations. Asking for information and having conversations with other students featured in subjects' descriptions of what they normally do in a place like this.• English and Dutch subjects thought it was mo re a place where students are or can be placed. Sri Lankan’s focused onexplaining the exact representation of the picture (‘it’s a globe’), Japanese thought about student union and meeting place CAFÉ CHAT• A cafe in Holland is rather like a pub in England. It is traditionally a place where people go to drink alcoholic beverages and talk to each other. A café in Canada (DirectED is Canadian) is a place where people sit down in a quiet environment and drink a cup of coffee, talk and read the paper.• Chat is generally known because it is widely used as an Internet term.• Subjects in the study expected that this would be a place where you could talk to others over the Internet (50% of English subjects), that it was a place where you could have a drink (5 out of 6 Dutch, presumably because the Dutch café is a place similar to a pub), Sri Lankan’s thought about drinking coffee or tea and a bit to eat. FACULTY• As with the other words, the role of "faculty" (in the sense of academic staff members) is changing, and the desk picture is of limited use in this context. New terms for online teachers are "facilitator", "moderator", "online tutor", etc. • "Faculty" was thought to refer to subjects, the headmaster or main person (English subjects), or buildings (Dutch subjects). It was a surprise to see "online support" being offered under this function.• Faculty is a fuzzy concept in itself. Someone can be a member of faculty and also work in a faculty. Mapping of concepts from the real world to this item cannot be done without additional information that shows which of the two concepts is meant.• The term is similar to the Dutch word 'faculteit' which is the building or part of a building (the physical space) where a university department resides, the department is called a faculty and so is the building. 'I am going to the faculty of mathematics' would mean I am going to the building where the department of mathematics resides.BOOKSTORE• The icon represents a pile of books; in this sense it is not readily distinguished from the library, which is also represented as a pile of books (only the size and arrangement are different). Most subjects felt it was part of the computerlab because the two icons were so close together.• Some subjects recognised this American English word as meaning ‘bookshop’; others speculated that it might be a place to ‘get information on books’, or somewhere to go if you needed ‘a quote from a book’• Book is 'boek' in Dutch and store is 'winkel' (shop) or 'opslag' (storage). The right Dutch word to use would be 'boekenwinkel' (bookshop)2 Discussion and ConclusionsIt has long been recognised that metaphors are a pervasive and influential part of our society (e.g. Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) but they are likely to have different cultural meanings. Evidence from this initial study suggests that the campus metaphor in this study is not universal, but has its origins in North American culture. This becomes important if one of the reasons for having a Website and campus homepage is to attract students from across the globe, as students in different locations are likely to have different expectations and interpretations.Labels can have different connotations for different cultures reflecting the linguistic origins. The function and role of the metaphor is not necessarily at fault but more the fact that users do not have the right concepts to make the mapping back to the real world in order to understand the contents of the website. The metaphor used in this study is not entirely clear (e.g. is this a geographical map, a role map for a non-existing campus or a functional map of an existing company?). Also, parts of the metaphor are inconsistent; the computer lab, for example, represents a physical space (the actual lab) but the faculty-icon represents roles that people play in this institution (people, not the actual physical space). Aspects like this make it more likely that users will attempt inappropriate mappings between knowledge they already have and the virtual world that is presented. Perhaps the most interesting finding in this study is that the participants’ understanding of the overall campus metaphor appears to have a strong influence on their expectations about particular icon and icon-and-label combinations and the accuracy of their interpretation. The expectations of the students who viewed the website as a page about a real university reflected their real world experiences (some subjects for instance, expected to find a menu list of food available in the café when clicking on the café icon). Those students who decided that the site described a course over the Internet made more accurate predictions about what was behind the icons. One implication of this finding, if it is borne out by the rest of the data, is that if the metaphor is indeed not universal, more effort will be needed to make meaning more explicit. The study suggests that at least some of the subjects’ difficulties in interpreting the campus metaphor are because they are using real world knowledge drawn from a different cultural background.In order to convey meaning more explicitly and to make sure that the metaphor makes use of the set of concepts that the target cultural group has, more effort will be required in the design phase. This might be achieved either by customising the website for each target culture or by presenting a more explicit representation of the contents, for instance, by using composite icons. There are a number of limitations to this study, in particular: Information was lost in translating the Dutch subjects’ responses to English; the study draws data from a small sample; and, the study also did not evaluate preferences in navigation throughthe site (individual exploring was not catered for). This study will be expanded over the next 6 months and carried out with samples of 30 subjects each, evaluating specifically designed software in order to gain a better insight into several aspects of cross-cultural understanding. A future goal of researchers in similar fields might be to combine their efforts and attempt to set up profiles of cultural concepts. That is, a set of concepts that users of a certain culture were found to share. Each of these profiles could then assist to see which concepts are shared among the target cultures to design a metaphor that will most appropriately convey information.ReferencesCarroll, J.M. and Thomas, J.C.

大学生对数字学习技术的看法英文范文
大学生对数字学习技术的看法英文范文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Digital Learning: The College Kid's ViewHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I love learning about new things, especially when it comes to technology. Lately, I've been really curious about how college students feel about using digital tools for learning. You see, my older cousin Jill is in her second year at University, and she's always talking about the crazy amount of apps, websites, and gadgets she has to use for her classes. It's like a whole new world compared to the way I learn at my elementary school!From what I've gathered by pestering Jill with a million questions, college is serious business. The professors don't just hand out worksheets or give lectures with a chalkboard like Mrs. Walker does. Nope, they're using all sorts of high-tech stuff that sounds super complicated. But Jill seems to think it's pretty cool, so I wanted to find out more.The first thing Jill told me about was this thing called a "learning management system." Sounds like some kind of robotmanager if you ask me! But apparently, it's just a fancy website where her professors post all the course materials, assignments, and grades. Everything is digital, from the syllabus to the textbooks. No more carrying around a bazillion heavy books in her backpack!Jill said that at first, it was a little overwhelming trying to keep track of everything online. But once she got the hang of it, she realized how convenient it was to have all her stuff in one place. She can even submit her essays and projects through the website, which is way easier than printing out a million pages. Plus, she doesn't have to worry about losing any important documents since they're all safely stored in the cloud.Another thing Jill raves about is how many online resources her professors use. Like, they'll post videos, articles, and interactive simulations to help explain complicated topics. It's not just boring old textbook reading anymore. Jill showed me this one website that lets you explore the human body in 3D – so cool! She said it's like having a whole library of multimedia learning materials right at her fingertips.But overall, Jill seems to think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to digital learning in college. She likes how flexible and engaging it is compared to traditional methods. Forexample, some of her classes have online discussion forums where students can chat about the course material anytime, anywhere. It's like having a virtual study group on-demand!Another cool thing Jill mentioned is something called "adaptive learning." Apparently, there are these special programs that can adjust the difficulty level and pace of the lessons based on how well each individual student is doing. So if you're struggling with a certain topic, it'll give you more practice and explanations. But if you're breezing through, it'll move you along faster. Talk about personalized learning!Personally, I think all this digital stuff sounds awesome! I can't wait until I'm old enough to go to college and use all those fancy schmancy learning tools. Although, part of me will probably miss the simplicity of just using pencils, paper, and my trusty Number 2s. There's something special about theold-school classroom vibe, you know?But the world is changing, and technology is changing the way we learn. From what I've heard from Jill, most college students are embracing digital learning technologies, even if there are some occasional hiccups and growing pains. It's an exciting frontier that's making education more interactive, flexible, and personalized than ever before.Who knows, by the time I get to college, they'll probably have even crazier gadgets and gizmos for learning. Maybe we'll have virtual reality classrooms or computer chips implanted in our brains to download information instantly! A kid can dream, right? For now, I'll stick to reading about the college kid's perspective and counting down the days until I'm one of them.篇2Digital Stuff for Learning is Super Cool!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I really like video games, building things with Legos, and watching cartoons. School is OK I guess, but sometimes it's kind of boring just sitting at my desk all day. That's why I think digital learning technologies are awesome!My big brother Jimmy is in college and he gets to use all sorts of crazy digital stuff for his classes. He showed me some of it and let me play around, and I gotta tell ya - it's way more fun than just reading books and doing worksheets like we do at my school.First of all, Jimmy has these things called "interactive simulations" for his science classes. Basically they let you like, mess around and experiment with stuff on the computer insteadof just reading about it. One simulation let him build virtual circuits and see how the electricity flowed. Another one showed him how different forces affect objects in motion. It's kinda like a video game, but educational! I tried messing with a few of them and it made learning about science seem really cool and not so dry and boring.Then there are these "educational videos" that Jimmy watches sometimes instead of just having a professor lecture at him. The videos have animations, graphics, and people acting stuff out to explain concepts. Way more engaging than just listening to someone drone on and on! Some of the videos even had little quizzes along the way to test if you were paying attention. Jimmy said finding good videos takes some digging, but the right ones can teach way better than a textbook.Oh oh, and get this - Jimmy's statistics class uses this crazy "virtual reality" headset for visualizing data! You can like, walk around inside 3D graphs and scatter plots and stuff. He let me try it once and it was a total trip. Made understanding all those equations and numbers way easier when you can just look at them from the inside out. The future is here, man!But probably the coolest digital learning thing Jimmy gets to use is this "adaptive learning software." Basically it's kinda likethose learning games I play on the iPad, except it tracks how well you're understanding each topic. If you're struggling with something, it automatically adjusts and gives you more practice on that area. If you've got a concept down cold, it stops wasting your time on that and moves you ahead faster. Jimmy said it's kinda like having a super smart private tutor just for you that learns how you learn best.All this digital stuff sounds so awesome compared to the old school way we do things at my elementary school. We just have those clunky computer labs where we sometimes get to play really basic math games and stuff. But from what I've seen of Jimmy's college tech, learning could be way more interactive, visual, and customized if schools took advantage of it.I mean, don't get me wrong - I know digital ain't everything and we'd still need teachers to guide us. But combining all those cool technologies with in-person instruction from professors seems like it could make for a way more engaging and effective learning experience. At least way more fun than just reading flat textbooks and doing bookwork all day!Jimmy said a lot of colleges are still kinda behind when it comes to using digital learning tools regularly. Some professors are totally old school and just want to lecture from PowerPointslike they're stuck in the 20th century or something. But he thinks within a few more years, digital will become just as normal as pencils and books. After all, us kids these days are growing up immersed in computers, smartphones, and tablets from a super young age. We're just naturally going to prefer more digital ways of learning over the traditional stuff.So those are my thoughts on digital learning tech that I've picked up from watching my bro. Like I said, it all seems so rad and way more fun and interactive than old school methods. I really hope by the time I get to college, every class will have us using simulations, videos, VR, and adaptive learning software as much as possible. Fingers crossed the teachers and professors wise up and make learning more digital! An 8-year-old technological whiz kid can dream, right? Okay, I'm gonna go play Roblox now. Later!篇3Digital Learning: The College Kid's PlaygroundHey there! My name is Timmy, and I'm in the 5th grade. Today, I want to tell you all about what those big college kids think of digital learning. You know, with all the computers,tablets, and fancy apps they use in class. It's like a whole new world compared to when our parents went to school!First off, let me explain what digital learning really means. It's basically using technology like computers, smartphones, and online resources to help students learn. Instead of just listening to a teacher talk and write on a chalkboard, college students get to watch videos, use interactive apps, and even attend virtual classes from anywhere in the world!Now, you might be thinking, "Wow, that sounds so cool!" And you're absolutely right – most college students love digital learning! Let me tell you why.One of the biggest reasons is that it makes learning way more fun and engaging. Can you imagine sitting through a three-hour lecture without anything but a professor droning on and on? Yikes! With digital tools, classes become more interactive and hands-on. Students can participate in online discussions, work on group projects using shared documents, and even create their own digital content like videos or podcasts. It's like learning through play!Another major perk of digital learning is that it's super flexible. College kids are always on the go, juggling classes, jobs, and social lives. With online courses and materials, they canstudy whenever and wherever they want. No more being tied to a specific classroom or schedule. They can watch recorded lectures during their lunch break or work on assignments late at night when the dorm is quiet.But that's not all! Digital learning also helps students develop important skills for the future. Things like coding, data analysis, and digital literacy are becoming increasingly important in today's job market. By using technology in their studies, college students are better prepared for careers that rely heavily on tech.Despite these challenges, most college students seem to embrace digital learning wholeheartedly. They appreciate the flexibility, engagement, and practical skills it offers. Plus, let's be honest – they're part of the generation that grew up with smartphones and tablets, so using technology for learning just feels natural to them.As for me, I can't wait to experience digital learning myself when I eventually make it to college (after conquering middle school and high school, of course!). Just imagine attending a virtual reality lecture on dinosaurs or using a 3D modeling app to design my own buildings. The possibilities are endless!So, there you have it – a glimpse into the college kid's digital learning playground. It's a whole new world out there, filled with interactive tools, flexible schedules, and high-tech skills. While it may not be perfect, it's certainly shaping the future of education in exciting ways. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice my coding skills on my tablet. Maybe I'll create the next big educational app someday!篇4Digital Stuff is Pretty Cool!My big sister Emily is in college now and she has to use all sorts of digital things for her classes. At first I thought it was just her watching videos on her laptop, but she told me it's way more than that. Let me tell you about all the rad digital learning techs she uses!First up, she has these things called "online lectures." Instead of going to a classroom, her professors just record videos of themselves teaching the material. Emily can watch them whenever she wants on her laptop or even on her phone! She says it's awesome because if she misses something important, she can just rewind and re-watch that part. No more missing out if you space out for a few minutes!But get this - it's not just videos. Her classes also have interactive modules built right into the online portals. She can click through slides, take little quizzes, and even join live video chat rooms to ask questions! The modules make sure she's actually paying attention and understanding before moving on to new topics. It's like having a personal digital tutor.Emily also does a ton of her assignments and homework online now using digital tools. For writing papers, she uses apps that check her grammar and give suggestions in real-time as she types. She can insert citations with just a few clicks. For math and science, she has simulation apps where she can visualize concepts in 3D and run experiments virtually. It's like having a whole science lab on her computer!Speaking of math, Emily doesn't even have to buy expensive calculators anymore. She just uses websites and apps that can solve the craziest equations step-by-step. Some of them even let her graph functions just by typing them in. No more struggling to sketch graphs precisely by hand!But here's the really awesome part - digital tech isn't just one-way anymore. Emily's classes have online discussion boards and shared workspaces where all the students can chat, ask questions, share notes, and work together on group projects.Even though they're not physically in the same room, they can still collaborate and help each other out in real-time.Emily says one of her favorite digital tools is for peer review. When she has to write an essay, she can submit a draft online and it automatically gets shared with a few random classmates. They can all leave comments and suggestions directly on her paper. She said getting feedback from multiple people at once is super helpful for revising her work.Another crazy thing is that Emily's textbooks are all digital now. No more carrying around a ton of heavy books! All the textbooks are downloaded on her laptop and tablet. The digital versions have built-in search functions to quickly find keywords and concepts. Some of them even have interactive graphics, videos, and practice questions built right into the pages. Bye bye boring paper textbooks!Emily's professors also use digital tools to track her progress and participation. Her online quiz scores, attendance records, submitted assignments, and more are all logged in a secret digital gradebook. Emily can check her grades for each assignment and weighted categories anytime she wants. No more wondering how she's doing in the class!Finally, the coolest digital tool Emily showed me is for virtual reality learning. She has this headset that she can wear to explore 3D simulated environments based on what she's studying. If she's learning about Ancient Rome, she can just slip on the headset and suddenly be transported to the Roman Colosseum like she's actually there! For anatomy class, she can walk through a 3D model of the human body and look at all the organ systems up close. It's like the real world but not! Emily says virtual reality makes the material way more memorable and fun to learn.I know this was a lot of digital stuff to cover, but I hope I explained everything clearly. College definitely seems a whole lot different from elementary school! From online lectures to virtual reality, digital technology is changing how Emily and her classmates learn in all sorts of high-tech ways. I can't wait until I'm older so I can try out all these awesome digital tools myself. Although to be honest, a part of me will kind of miss the simplicity of reading from a paperback book and writing on actual paper with a pencil. There's something nostalgic about that. But overall, I think digital learning techs sound unbelievably cool and useful. The future of education is going to be a wild digital ride!篇5Title: Big Kids and Their Computer ToysMy big brother goes to a really big school called college. He's 20 years old and he's studying to be an engineer, which means he builds things like robots and bridges. He's always working on his laptop or playing around with some new gadget or app. He says all the "digital learning tech" helps him study better. I篇6Digital Learning Is Cool!Hi there! My name is Emily, and I'm a 4th grader at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Today, I'm going to tell you all about what college students think of digital learning technologies. It's a fascinating topic that my older sister, who's a freshman at State University, has been discussing a lot lately.You see, when my sister started college last fall, she was amazed by all the high-tech gadgets and software that her professors were using in their classes. It was a whole new world compared to the chalkboards and textbooks she was used to in high school!One of the coolest things my sister raves about is this thing called a "smart board." Imagine a gigantic tablet or computer screen at the front of the classroom, but you can write on it with a special pen, and the professor can pull up all sorts of multimedia content like videos, animations, and interactive diagrams! My sister says it makes her lectures way more engaging and easier to understand than just listening to someone drone on and on.Another nifty tool that many of her classes use is online discussion forums. It's like a message board where students can post questions, share ideas, and have conversations about the course material outside of class time. My sister finds it super handy for getting clarification on tricky concepts or collaborating with classmates on group projects.Speaking of group projects, colleges are also using a lot of cloud-based tools that allow multiple people to work on the same document or presentation simultaneously from different locations. How awesome is that? My sister and her teammates don't have to constantly email files back and forth or meet up in person to get stuff done.But perhaps the most mind-blowing digital learning technology my sister has encountered is something called"virtual reality." By wearing a special headset, she can be transported into immersive 3D environments that bring abstract concepts to life in stunning detail. For example, in her biology class, she got to take a virtual tour through the human circulatory system and see how blood cells travel through the body's vessels. It's like going on the most epic field trip ever without leaving the classroom!Overall though, my sister says the majority of her peers seem excited about the potential of digital learning to make their studies more interactive, collaborative, and fun. They feel like these tools are better preparing them for the highly digital and connected workplaces they'll eventually join after graduation.Personally, I can't wait until I get to use all of this cool technology when I'm older! Sure, there's something nostalgic about old-school pencil-and-paper learning. But being able to explore the ancient ruins of Rome in virtual reality or beam a hologram of my science project to kids across the world? Sign me up!Maybe by the time I'm in college, we'll have even crazier advancements like learning implants that can directly download knowledge into our brains. A girl can dream, right? For now though, I'll settle for my class's brand-new Chromebooks andhope I can avoid getting fingers smudges all over the shiny touchscreens.What's been your experience with digital learning tech so far? I'd love to hear about the awesome (or not-so-awesome) tools your teachers have introduced. Learning sure has come a long way from just reading dusty textbooks and watching filmstrips on an old projector!At the end of the day, whether you prefer high-tech orlow-tech, the most important thing is having teachers who make lessons engaging and relevant. All the snazzy gadgets in the world won't make a boring subject fun. But when educators harness the power of technology in creative ways, it can unlock new worlds of possibility for students like us.。

Abstract. In this paper, the design scheme, technical route and system structure of the remote interactive engine room resource management simulator are proposed based on the study of the engine room resource management project. This paper introduces virtual reality technique, visual C# and IE real-time interaction technology to the engine room resource management simulator and the development thoughts of the remote interactive engine room resource management simulator are elaborated based on the 3d modeling optimization and real-time interaction technology. This study can better meet the training requirement of engine room resource management in the STCW Manila amendments which include the teamwork training, situational awareness training, decision-making ability training, execution of strain deployment training etc.IntroductionEngine room resource management is the compulsory training content that is the new addition in the STCW Manila amendments[1,2].According to the new convention, the theory teaching and operation evaluation are included in the training content of engine room resource management, but now the main function of the engine room simulator is the device operation training, it does not meet the training requirement of engine room resource management in the STCW Manila amendments which include the teamwork training, situational awareness training, decision-making ability training, execution of strain deployment training and so on[3], it can not satisfy the operation and assessment needs of engine resource management. Thus it is very important to develop the engine room resource management simulator. This paper presents the development thoughts of the remote interactive engine room resource management simulator by using virtual reality technology. It can provide the online multiplayer or remote interactive training function. Through developing the engine room resource management simulator, the costing, safety and effect of this training can be solved effectively, and it can better meet the needs of the training program of Maritime Bureau by implementation of closed type demonstration, guide type wizard and open free operation mode of training.Overall DesignDeveloping the remote interactive engine room resource management simulator is the purpose of this research by using virtual reality technology and combining with the engine room resource management training program of Maritime Bureau. Though training the daily management and emergency treatment of two kinds of different tasks, each engineer’s responsibility in different tasks can be made clear, the related arranged working procedures can be executed strictly, it can ensure the safety of sailing ships and reduce the potential accidents[4]. From the overall functional distinction, this simulator can be divided into three modules: the duty engineer's personal and multiplayercooperative training module, remote visualization interactive control module, instructor station and online training module. The function of each module is designed as follows:The duty engineer's personal and multi-engineer cooperative training moduleThe key of engine room resource management is how to train the team cooperation, communication, leadership and group decision making, situational awareness of engineers[5]. Therefore the simulator should have the real environment of ship. The purpose of multi-engineer cooperative training is to train the coordination ability with other engineers and the implementation of the operation procedures. Therefore the training of the ship draft, transverse inclination change, automatic start and stop of the equipment when engine room is flooded, and the emergency treatment during the fire indication of the engine room, the emergency treatment of the ship lost power should be performed by the simulator. The simulator can realize that the engineer log to the simulator virtually and achive the emergency behavior according to the rules by independent control of virtual characters to complete each operation and the robot (NPC) instead of the position that no engineer participate[6].According to the above task training situation, the module in the design should satisfy the following three kinds of training demand:①. The basic operation trainingWhich contains: starting of paralyzed ship, standing by of the engine room, full navigation, at sea speed sailing,preraring for finish with engine,operation of auxiliary boiler, operation of oil separator, operation of special conditions of navigation and dealling with emergency situation and so on;②. The Senior operation trainingWhich contains: parameter quering and modifing of main engine remote control system, control mode selection under special working conditions, troubleshooting of system;③. The Management skills trainingWhich contains:training of communication, coordination of the chief engineer with other engineers during in conventional working conditions and in emergency case;Remote visualization interactive control moduleThis simulator is developed with the TCP/IP structure based on the B /S model which has the modeling environment of opening, online debugging, and the real-time operation characteristic. The 3d scene of the engine room can be browsed through the IE browser. Owing to using a special scene working environment,V.R.of the engine room can be rapidly downloaded and showed and be dynamicaly interacting with scene in real-time,and also overcome the disadvantages of traditional downloading mode,which images are delivered to user one by one from web server, the multi-engineer online team work training based on webpage can be realized through this. Which contains: forming teams to complete the stand by of main engine, navigational watch of the on duty group, the contaction of engine room with the bridge, the training of PSC inspection and other emergency drills.Instructor station and online training moduleInstructor station and online training module is a utility program designated for the instructor monitoring and remote control over the students working with the simulator in the network[7]. The following options are available from the instructor station: setups,resources,faults simulation,scenario editor and so on. This module enables also the observation of the following student’s station just like the systems alarm, shaft revolution,event log and so on. Instructor station is connected by phone with the trainee station. Specific functions as follows:(1) Start / stop control function(2) Operation mode setting function(3) External conditions (environment) setting function(4) Operation training management function(5) Fault simulation(6) Online trainingTechnology RouteAccording to the ship equipment information and practical investigation, combined with the engine room resource management training programs, the simulator adopts B/S frame to develop.The realistic 3D model of the equipment are established based on the virtual reality software, the function of virtual roaming and remote real-time interaction are developed by ActiveX technology and visual C# technology. Overall study plan is as follows:(1).The realistic 3D model of the equipment in the engine room are established based on the actual size of engine room equipment by utilzing the Converse3D modeling tool and its development kit;(2).For function simulation part,we utilze ActiveX of Converse3D by embedding C# language to develop the engine room resource management simulator combined with the practical of the training.(3).For the multi-engineer cooperative training based on IE browser part , we utilze the converse3D three-dimensional network platform and virtual community functions and embedding visual C# language to develop the remote visualization interactive control module.(4).This paper makes some improvements aimed to the traditional B/S model:first programmed by the socket and run it in the client port to achieve real-time transition of the dynamic data, then realized the display of dynamic data in browses port by adopting ActiveX technique. Provide concrete resources for browses by using HTTP protocol to ascertain Web server through unified resources localizes. The mode of the improved project still through browses to visit embedded Web server, yet which combined the advantages of B/S and C/S.System structureIn order to make the engineers to simulate ship management status as far as possible, the simulator must have sufficient simulation environment, so that the trainees can get and show the goal of training the skills required. The simulator should contains the 3D model of equipments as follows: ship hull, engine room overview, main engine and its propulsion system, diesel engine, automatic electric power station system, emergency generator room, engine control room, bridge, emergency control console, steering system, boiler system, the ballast water system, fire alarm and fire extinguishing system (including carbon dioxide system), bilge system, fuel system (including fuel tank, settling tank and daily tank), lubricating oil system (including storage tank, settling tank), compressed air system, cooling system and so on. The system structure is showed as Figs.1.Fig. 1. Functional diagram of system structure.Through the remote Interactive engine room resource management simulator, we can not only to train the individual engineers during in normal and emergency conditions[8], but also to achieve the multi-engineer cooperative training and 3D model of browsing and interaction. The main training content includes as follows:(1)At anchor:To train the operation skills of loading, unloading and stand by of the main engine;(2) Leave port: To train the operation skills of side thrust, maneuvering and quickly accelerated to sea speed;(3)At sea:To train how to operate the equipment during at sea;(4)Docking:To train how to complete the reduction, and use of maneuvering thruster for dock operation;(5)Start / stop of the auxiliary boiler;(6)Starting of Paralyzed Ship;(7)Communication of engineering department with feeding personnel during bunkering of fuel oil;(8)Black out and main engine malfunction;(9)Fault of steering system;(10)Fire in engine room;(11)Rough sea condition;(12)Ashore;(13)Collision/ stranding;(14) Pirate attack.ConclusionsAccording to the STCW Manila convention amendment, engine room resource management was incorporated into the rules of STCW part A. This paper proposes a scheme that how to design the remote interactive engine room resource management simulator based on the resource management project, which can better satisfy the training and assessment requirements of maritime bureau for crew, it will provide great convenience for seamen especially in the remote training. After the completion,it will become the first engine room resource management simulator in the world.

大学生对学校的什么感兴趣英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1What Do Big Kids Like at University?Hi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Jessie just started going to university this year and I was really curious what she likes doing there. Universities seem sooo cool and grown-up! I asked her to tell me all about it.First up, Jessie told me about her classes. She said taking classes at university is way different than being in elementary school. Instead of having the same teacher all day, she has a different professor for each subject like math, English, biology, and more. The professors are really smart grown-ups who know everything about their subject. Jessie said some of her classes are huge lectures with hundreds of students, while others are small discussion groups. She has lots of reading and writing assignments to do for homework too. It sounds like a lot of work!But Jessie said her favorite part is getting to pick exactly what subjects she wants to study. In high school you have to take a bunch of required courses, but at university you get to chooseyour own major based on what you're really interested in. Jessie is majoring in environmental science because she's really passionate about protecting nature and finding solutions to problems like climate change. How cool is that?Another thing Jessie loves is being part of the campus life and community. She said the university has amazing facilities like modern libraries, fancy computer labs, Olympic-sized swimming pools, huge sports fields and lots more. There are also all kinds of clubs and organizations students can join based on their hobbies and interests. Jessie joined the rock climbing club and is thinking about rushing a sorority next year. Apparently there are always fun activities and events happening around campus too.Jessie did admit that university isn't all fun and games though. She said it's a hugeeee step up from high school in terms of how challenging the coursework is. Professors expect students to be really self-motivated about keeping up with readings, assignments, and studying on their own time. Time management skills are super important, because it's easy to fall behind if you're not disciplined. Jessie has definitely felt stressed out and overwhelmed at times trying to balance her class load with jobs, extracurriculars, and her social life. It sounds intense!But overall, Jessie seems to be absolutely loving her first year at university so far. She said the best parts are the independence and freedom to explore her true passions, being exposed to so many new ideas and perspectives, and making amazing friends with people who share her interests. I can't wait until I'm old enough to go experience it all for myself someday! For now though, I'm happy just being a third-grader.Those are the main insights Jessie shared with me about university life. Doesn't it sound fascinating? I tried to capture it all in a fun, conversational voice from a kid's point of view. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional instructions! I'm happy to revise the essay further.篇2What do Big Kids Like at College?I'm just a little kid, but I've heard a lot about college from my older brother and sister who go there. College seems like a really cool place with lots of fun things to do and learn about! Here are some of the things I think college students enjoy the most at their schools:Sports! Sports! Sports!My brother is super into sports and always talks about the awesome games and teams at his university. I guess college has some really big sports teams that lots of students go watch and cheer for. Football seems to be one of the most popular - my brother says going to the football games is like a huge party with tailgating, face painting, cheering sections and everything! He also loves watching the basketball team play and has even been to a few of their games in person.I heard there are college sports for all kinds of other games too like baseball, soccer, volleyball, hockey, lacrosse and more. Some colleges also have unique sports teams for things you don't normally see, like rowing crew teams that race boats in the water. My sister is on the college tennis team and travels all around the region to compete against other schools. Playing sports seems like one of the funnest parts of being a college student!Clubs and Activities GaloreWhen I'm in college, I definitely want to join a bunch of the clubs they have on campus. I've heard they have clubs for just about any interest you can imagine - everything from Harry Potter fan clubs to breakdancing teams to guitar playing groups and way more. My brother is in this video game club where theyhave tournaments and LAN parties to play all night sometimes. How awesome is that?There are also a ton of volunteer groups and ways to get involved with causes you care about in the community at college. My sister helps out with an after-school program that provides tutoring for kids who need some extra academic support. She says it's really rewarding. Joining some clubs sounds like an amazing way to meet people who have the same interests as you.Campus Life and EventsOne thing that sounds so cool about college is just how much fun stuff is always happening right on campus. My siblings tell me their college has all sorts of events, activities, performances and other things pretty much every week. There are comedians who come to perform stand-up shows, music concerts with both big-name artists and student bands, film screenings, poetry slams, art shows, video game tournaments and so much more.Sometimes they even have big annual events that the whole campus celebrates like homecoming weekend with a parade and dances, or spring fling with carnival rides and food trucks. Everything you could possibly want to do for fun happens rightthere at college! No wonder so many students choose to live on campus in the dorms and residence halls. With all that entertainment nearby, why would you ever want to leave?Classes and AcademicsOkay, okay...I suppose I should mention that college students also have to, you know, go to class and learn and stuff too. But based on what my siblings say, even the classes and academics can be really fascinating and open up tons of new opportunities to study subjects you're passionate about.My brother is a computer science major, which means he gets to take all these awesome classes about coding, programming languages, database systems, artificial intelligence and more. He says the projects they get to build are so much more advanced than anything he did in high school. My sister is studying marine biology and biology, and she gets to go on field trips to beaches and marine labs to explore ocean life up close. How neat!There are hundreds of majors and areas of study offered at universities, covering pretty much any topic you can think of. Want to study dinosaurs? There's a major for that. Interested in ancient languages or cultures? Yep, they've got classes for that too. I've heard students can even create their own customizedcourse of study if they want to blend a few different subject areas together.Plus, college classes aren't like being lecturee at all day in high school. My siblings say a lot of their classes have really small groups with extensive class discussions and hands-on projects or labs. Definitely sounds way more engaging than just sitting there taking notes while a teacher drones on and on!The College ExperienceHonestly, based on everything I've heard, college seems like the funnest, most exciting place ever! Between the sports, clubs, activities, campus events, academic opportunities and just the whole experience of being surrounded by people your age on a big university campus...what's not to love?I may be just a little kid still, but I can't wait until I'm older to go to college myself. It sounds like the most amazing place to spend a few years learning incredible new things, following your passions, making lifelong friends, and just having an all-around blast. College is definitely, 100% going to be the best!篇3What Uni Students Like About SchoolHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. My big brother Jake just started university this year and he's always telling me about all the cool stuff he gets to do there. I can't wait until I'm old enough to go to uni too!First of all, uni students get to pick exactly what classes they want to take based on what they're interested in. Jake is really into computers and technology, so he's taking a bunch of classes about programming, web design, databases and stuff like that. He says it's so awesome being able to just focus on the topics he's passionate about instead of having to do a little bit of everything like in regular school.Another thing Jake loves is that his classes aren't just lectures all the time. A lot of his courses have these things called "labs" where the students get to actually build projects and experiment with code and new technologies hands-on. He's built websites, apps, robots and even did a virtual reality project last semester! Getting to create cool stuff like that instead of just reading from textbooks and taking notes sounds like so much fun.Uni also has way more freedom than regular school from what I can tell. Jake doesn't have a set schedule of classes every day - he can pick whichever days and times work best for hiscourses. Some days he has big gaps in between classes so he can hang out with friends, go to the gym, grab food or just relax. No more raising your hand to ask for a bathroom break!And uni students don't have parents or teachers constantly watching over them and telling them what to do. Jake lives in a dorm on campus and he says it's like having your own apartment. He can stay up late, eat whatever he wants, and come and go as he pleases without anyone nagging him. Talk about the dream life!The social side of uni seems pretty awesome too. Since everyone is taking classes based on their personal interests, Jake has met a ton of people who are just as passionate about technology as he is. He's made a bunch of new friends who he can collaborate with on projects, attend club meetings with, and just generally geek out over their shared love of coding. It's like one big nerd community!Uni students also get to go on these things called "co-op" placements, where they get actual job experience related to their field of study. Jake is going to be working as a software developer at a tech company next summer to get a feel for what a real career would be like after graduation. Getting paid to learn on-the-job skills sounds like a total win-win situation to me!But overall, the uni lifestyle seems pretty sweet if you ask me. You get to deeply explore your passions, build awesome projects hands-on, make friends with similar interests, and get workforce experience - all while having that coveted young adult freedom. No Wonder Jake is always raving about it!I've still got about 10 more years before I'll be old enough to apply to university myself, but my big bro's experiences have definitely made me even more excited to get there. Who knows, maybe I'll end up following in his footsteps and pursuing a technology degree too after seeing how much fun he's having with it. Though if endless days of computer programming isn't really my thing, at least I'll get to sample a wide variety of potential subjects and discover where my own true interests lie.For now, I'll just have to keep working hard in elementary school and dreaming of the day I too can be a grown-up uni student - staying up late, eating pizza for every meal, and working on crazy cool projects without my parents yelling at me. Ah, the university life...a kid can dream, can't they? I'll get there one day! But first, recess is calling. Gotta run!篇4What Do College Kids Like at Their School?Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Jessica just started college last year, and I was really curious what she likes doing over there. College seems like a big kid paradise to me! So I asked her to tell me all about the fun stuff college students get to do on campus. Here's what she said:One of the biggest things college kids seem to love is all the clubs and activities they can join. Jessica said her school has hundreds of different clubs for anything you can imagine - sports, music, art, books, movies, video games, you name it! She joined the rock climbing club and is learning how to scale those crazy tall rock walls. Some of her friends are in the anime club where they watch Japanese cartoons and eat ramen noodles. There's even a Quidditch club where they play that broomstick game from Harry Potter! How cool is that?Jessica also told me that college has a ton of free events and activities happening all the time. Every week there are comedy shows, concerts, movie screenings, guest speakers, parties, and more. Just last month her dorm had a big carnival with game booths, funnel cakes, and even a ferris wheel! The school definitely knows how to show their students a good time.Another major perk of college seems to be all the athletic facilities and sports teams. Most universities have huge reccenters with basketball courts, swimming pools, climbing walls, fitness classes, and more. Jessica's obsessed with the lazy river pool! And of course, colleges are famous for their sports teams that kids can go watch live. Football and basketball games are always a big campus event with tailgating, pep rallies, and students painting their faces in school colors. Hey, maybe I'll be a college mascot when I grow up!Something else college students appreciate is the variety of courses they get to take. In college, you aren't just stuck learning reading, writing, and math anymore. Jessica is currently taking classes in anthropology, music theory, entrepreneurship, and even martial arts! She says it's awesome being able to study subjects she's genuinely curious about rather than the basic elementary school stuff we learn. College lets you dig deeper into your interests and explore new topics you may end up loving.The social life is another major highlight college students rave about. Making friends is easy since you live surrounded by thousands of students your age. Jessica's dorm floor is like one big family, and they're always hanging out in the lounge or going out together. There's parties every weekend, movie nights, camping trips, and tons of ways to meet new people. Plus, youget to be around folks who share your interests through the different clubs and majors. No wonder they call college the best four years of your life!From what Jessica tells me, college is basically a endless playground for young adults. Between the activities, facilities, classes, independence, and nonstop social life, students stay constantly entertained and stimulated. No boring lectures or petty high school drama - just four years to explore your passions, make lifelong friends, and become your own person before entering the "real world." I can't wait until I'm old enough to get in on the college fun!Although I may only be 8 years old, I feel like I have a much better grasp of the college experience now thanks to my sister's insider scoop. Clubs, events, sports, classes, freedom, friends - it all sounds like a blast! While elementary school keeps me pretty entertained with recess, field trips, and the occasional ice cream party, I definitely have a new appreciation for why so many people call college the best years of their life. Fingers crossed I make it in when I'm older so I can join the Quidditch club!篇5What Big Kids Like at CollegeHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I go to Oakdale Elementary School and I'm in 3rd grade. My big brother Joey just started college last year and he's always telling me about the cool stuff they get to do there. It's way different from elementary school! I can't wait until I'm old enough to go to college too.Joey says college is like elementary school but bigger and you get to pick exactly what classes you want to take based on what you're interested in. How awesome is that? In elementary school, we have to take all the same basic classes like math, reading, science, and social studies. But in college, Joey says you can take classes on just about anything you can imagine!One thing a lot of college kids seem to be really into is studying other countries and cultures. My brother is taking classes on French language and European history. He says it's so he can learn about where our ancestors came from and maybe even study abroad in France someday. Some of his friends are taking classes on Asian cultures, Latin American studies, and more. Personally, I think it would be really cool to learn about ancient civilizations like the Romans and Egyptians with their crazy mummies and pyramid tombs! How fun would that be to study as a college student?A bunch of Joey's friends are also really interested in science and technology. They take classes on biology, chemistry, physics, computer programming, you name it. One of his buddies Dave is really into coding and computer science. He's always trying to get Joey to help him with some programming project or other. Another friend, Sarah, is obsessed with biology and wants to be a scientist studying genetics or disease cures or something like that one day. I don't totally understand all of it, but it sounds pretty neat from what I can tell.Then you have the artsy types who are really into creative stuff like painting, photography, music, dance, theater, and so on. My brother's girlfriend is an art major and she's always showing me these funky modern art projects she has to do for class. Some of it is pretty out there if you ask me, but she seems to really enjoy it. A lot of her friends are involved with the school plays, dance troupes, orchestra, choir groups and the like. I have to admit, some of the performances they put on look super entertaining and well-done.Then you have academics that study more classical subjects like literature, philosophy, politics, economics, and so forth. My brother had to take an entire class just on reading works by this old guy named Shakespeare. Can you believe that? Having toanalyze decade-old plays and poems for an entire semester? I'll never understand why anyone would subject themselves to something so dreadfully dull. But I guess some people are just really into that kind of stuff.One subject that seems to be getting more and more popular lately is environmental studies and sustainable living practices. With all the concerns over climate change, pollution, and our impact on the planet, it makes sense that a lot of youths want to try to make a difference in that area. My brother knows a ton of eco-conscious students who are involved with campus recycling programs, community gardens, promoting renewable energy, protecting wildlife habitats, and learning how to live a more green lifestyle in general.And of course, college is also a hotbed for social activism these days as young people discover causes they're passionate about and want to change the world. There always seem to be groups raising awareness or hosting events and protests related to human rights, racial injustice, gender equality, LGBTQ+ issues, poverty, you name it. My brother says a big part of the college experience for many students is finding their voice and figuring out what matters most to them.So those are just some of the main areas that fascinategrow interests a lot of college students from what I can gather based on my big brother's experiences. Of course, I'm sure I'm still too young to fully grasp the depth and nuances of higher education. But already it seems like an exciting new world full ofeye-opening opportunities for learning and self-discovery that I can't wait to be a part of someday!Well, thanks for listening to my rambling take on college life through the eyes of an 8-year-old. Even though I have a lot more growing up to do, I hope I was able to provide a tiny window into what piques the curiosities of young adults on university campuses. Just don't be expecting any grad-level dissertations from me quite yet - I've still got about 14 more years of schooling ahead of me before I'll be ready for that! For now, I'll just keep working on mastering finger painting and playing kickball at recess. Baby steps, am I right? Catch you later!篇6What Big Kids Like at Uni-versityHi there! My name is Tommy, and I'm 8 years old. I go to Oakwood Primary School, and I love learning new things every day. My big sister Emily just started university this year, and she'salways telling me about her exciting life on campus. It's like a whole new world for her, and I can't wait until I get to experience it one day!Emily says that university is a lot different from our little primary school. For starters, it's massive! There are so many buildings, and each one is dedicated to a different subject. Can you imagine having an entire building just for learning about science or history? It's like a dream come true for a curious kid like me.One of the things that Emily seems to really enjoy is all the different classes she gets to take. At our school, we pretty much learn the same things every day – reading, writing, math, and a few other subjects. But at university, Emily gets to choose from hundreds of classes on all sorts of fascinating topics. She's taking a class on ancient civilizations, another one on environmental science, and even a course on creative writing!Emily tells me that the professors at university are like super-smart grown-ups who know everything there is to know about their subjects. They're not like our teachers, who have to teach us a little bit of everything. These professors are experts in their fields, and they're always making new discoveries and sharing their knowledge with the students.Another thing that Emily loves about university is all the cool facilities they have on campus. There are huge libraries with millions of books, state-of-the-art science labs, and even fancy computer labs with the latest technology. Emily says that sometimes she feels like she's living in the future!But it's not all just about studying and learning at university. Emily also tells me about all the fun activities and clubs she's involved in. There are sports teams, music groups, art clubs, and so many other ways for students to explore their interests and make new friends. Emily joined the environmental club because she's really passionate about saving the planet, and she's already helped organize a big recycling drive on campus.One of the coolest things about university, according to Emily, is the freedom and independence that students get. At our primary school, we have to follow a strict schedule and do exactly what our teachers tell us. But at university, Emily gets to plan her own schedule and decide which classes she wants to take. She even gets to choose when she wants to study and when she wants to hang out with her friends.One thing that Emily misses about primary school is having the same group of friends in every class. At university, she has different classmates for each subject, so she has to make aneffort to meet new people and build friendships. But Emily says that's also part of the fun – getting to know all sorts of different people from different backgrounds and cultures.Overall, Emily seems to be having an amazing time at university. She's learning so much, exploring her interests, making new friends, and becoming more independent every day.I can't wait until it's my turn to experience the university life – it sounds like the most incredible adventure!In the meantime, I'll just have to live vicariously through Emily's stories and keep working hard in primary school. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be a university professor teaching others about all the cool things I've learned. The possibilities seem endless when you're a big kid at university!。
智能校园对我们的学习的英语作文
智能校园对我们的学习的英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1Smart Campuses and Learning EnglishWow, technology is so cool nowadays! My school has all these amazing smart devices that make learning English fun and easy. Let me tell you about all the awesome smart campus stuff we have.First up, we have these really neat translation earbuds. They're like tiny wireless headphones that go right in your ear. But get this - they can instantly translate anything the teacher says in English into my native language! How neat is that? So if I ever get a little lost or don't quite understand something in English class, the earbuds whisper the translation right into my ear. It's like having a personal English tutor with me at all times.We also have these snazzy digital whiteboards in every classroom. They're huge touchscreen displays on the wall where the teacher can write notes, play videos, and do all sorts of multimedia lessons. Everything is bright, colorful, and engaging. Way better than just a boring old whiteboard or chalkboard! Theteachers can make the English lessons really come alive with pictures, videos, games, you name it. Learning a new language is way more fun that way.Oh, and get this - we even have virtual reality headsets we can use for English practice! Can you believe that? It's like being transported into a fully immersive 3D environment where you can explore different places and scenarios. The campus VR labs have English conversations simulated, so you can practice speaking with lifelike avatars. You can shop at a virtual grocery store, order at a restaurant, ask for directions, and more - all in English! It's incredibly realistic practice. And it's crazy fun, like a video game where you get to learn English.We also have educational apps and online platforms we can access from our tablets and laptops. There are interactive games to learn new English vocabulary words, digital workbooks with automatic grading, video lessons we can watch anytime, and even AI chatbots we can practice conversational English with. The apps track our progress and give us recommendations on what to study next. With all the multimedia stuff, learning English is way more stimulating than just reading from a textbook.Another really cool thing are the smart English laboratories. They've got theseonfancyrecognition cameras that can detectwhen we're pronouncing words incorrectly. The cameras give us real-time feedback on our pronunciation. How futuristic is that? There are also voice analysis tools that can grade our speaking skills and fluency. The smart labs make sure we're not picking up any bad pronunciation habits as we learn English.My personal favorite smart English tool though has to be the translation globes we each have at our desks. You'll never guess what these things can do! If I'm reading an English book or worksheet and don't know what a word means, I just have to roll the translation globe towards that word. Then the globe instantly translates and defines that word for me usingeasy-to-understand animations and graphics. It's like the translation globe can magically understand any text I point it at! Genius!With all this incredible smart campus technology, my English skills are improving at lightning speed. Instead of English being this frustrating chore, it's become an immersive, gamified experience. The smart tools make everything so interactive and tailored to how I learn best. Sometimes I even forget that I'm actively studying and practicing English - it's that much fun!I'm so grateful my school has invested in all thiscutting-edge EdTech for language learning. Having AI, virtualreality, speech recognition, gamification, and translation capabilities infused into our education is giving me a tremendous advantage. I'll be way ahead of the curve compared to students without access to smart campus tools. Who knows how fluent my English level will be by the time I graduate?Smart campuses are the way of the future when it comes to learning languages like English. The personalized, multimedia, and hands-on nature of the technology makes absorbing a new language easier than ever before. Every school should work towards implementing smart classroom tools like these. English education will never be the same again!So that's my take on why smart campuses are awesome for English learning. With all the mind-blowing tech we've got, my language skills are skyrocketing. What first seemed like an impossible challenge is now something I look forward to every day. Thanks to our smart campus, English is "piece of cake" as they say!篇2The Smart Campus is Awesome!Hi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the cool new "smart campus" at our school. It has made learning so muchmore fun and helped me understand things better. Let me explain what a smart campus is and why it's so awesome!A smart campus uses a lot of advanced technology like computers, sensors, and special software to make the school smarter and more modern. It connects everything together into one big network so all the devices can share information and work together. Kind of like the Internet, but just for our school!The smart campus has helped improve our learning in so many ways. First, every classroom now has a giant interactive whiteboard instead of a boring old chalkboard or dry erase board. The teacher can use it to show us videos, pictures, games and all sorts of media to make the lessons more engaging. And we can even come up and use the touchscreen to do exercises right on the board! No more having to crowd around a tiny computer screen.We also have these cool tablets that the school gave each of us. They are loaded with all sorts of learning apps, ebooks, and educational games. In math class, we can work on fun puzzle games that teach multiplication or do digital workbooks that give us instant feedback. For reading, we can follow along with ebooks that have multimedia and read-along audio. The tabletsmake practicing our skills way more enjoyable than just doing worksheets or textbook work.Another neat part of the smart campus is that we have sensors installed all over the school that automatically control things like lights, temperatures, and air quality. The classrooms always stay at the perfect temperature for learning, and the air always feels fresh instead of getting stuffy with a bunch of kids. The sensors can even detect if a room is empty so it doesn't waste electricity on lights! My parents say this has helped the school save a lot of money on utility bills too.Speaking of saving money, we also have less paper waste now with the smart campus. A lot of handouts, newsletters, and announcements get shared digitally instead of having to print out a bunch of physical copies. It's way better for the environment too!My favorite part of the smart campus might be the smart boards installed all around the hallways and common areas though. These big digital displays show school announcements, calendars, schedules and lots of other helpful information. But the coolest part is that they can detect my student ID card from far away, and when I walk by they automatically display a custom message just for me! Like if I have a test coming up, it will remindme. Or if I have a club meeting soon, it puts that on my personal message board. Isn't that so high-tech and convenient?The smart campus has even made our cafeteria meals healthier and less wasteful. Each of us got a special ID card to use at lunch time. When we order food, it logs what we picked so the cafeteria can start making more of the popular meals that don't have as much waste. My card also keeps track of what foods I'm allergic to so I can't accidentally order anything bad for me. And if there's ever a foodborne illness outbreak, the system knows exactly what each student ate so they can quickly figure out the source. Pretty smart!Overall, the smart campus has been an amazing upgrade for our school. As you can see, it has improved our education in so many creative ways by making learning more fun, interactive, and personalized. It has also made our school greener and more cost-efficient by reducing waste and saving on utilities.I feel really lucky that our school district invested in this cutting-edge technology for us students. The smart campus is preparing all of us for a world where tech like AI, IoT sensors, data analytics and more will be everywhere. By getting hands-on experience with these tools from an early age, we'll have a hugeadvantage over kids who don't have access to a smart campus environment.While a lot of the specifics of the smart campus might sound complicated to adults, for us kids it's just become a totally normal part of how we learn every day. We don't think twice about using interactive whiteboards, personalized dashboards and digital assignments. This immersive tech is simply woven into the fabric of our modern classroom experience.I can't wait to see what other innovations get added to the smart campus in the years ahead. With technology progressing so rapidly, who knows what amazing tools and strategies we'll have to make learning even smarter? Maybe one day we'll have hologram teachers or take virtual field trips without leaving the classroom! The possibilities are endless.For now, I'm just grateful to have access to all the great smart campus resources that have tremendously improved my education so far. I truly believe it has allowed me to learn so much more than I would have with traditional "dumb" classrooms. A huge thanks to all the staff, teachers, donors and tech companies who made our smart campus a reality. It's been an incredibly enriching experience so far!篇3A Smart Campus Makes Learning Fun!Wow, I just love going to my school! It's not like theold-fashioned schools my parents went to. Nope, my school is a super high-tech smart campus that makes learning so much more fun and exciting. Let me tell you all about the cool ways it helps me learn.First off, we don't use those heavy, outdated textbooks anymore. Instead, we have these really neat tablet computers that have all our lessons and materials right on them. The tablets are lightweight and easy to carry around. All the info is interactive too, with videos, games, and activities that make lessons way more engaging than just reading some boring book. My favorite part is the AI tutor that can explain any topic I'm struggling with in simple terms.The classrooms themselves are pretty high-tech too. The whiteboards are actually huge touchscreen displays. Our teachers can pull up all kinds of multimedia lessons and we can interact with the content right on the board. Sometimes we even get to play educational games up there as a class. How cool is that?Staying focused use to be so hard with long lectures. But now our smart classroom has these biosensors that track things like our heart rates and eye movements. If it detects we're zoning out or getting antsy, it can switch up the lesson to something more interactive to regain our attention. The smart lighting and temperature controls help too by keeping the classroom environment optimized for learning.Outside of class, the whole campus is wireless with fast internet everywhere. We can access all our lessons, assignments, and resources online whenever we need them. There are also tons of interactive displays all over the halls and common areas with educational content. Sometimes my friends and I will Take breaks between classes to play some mind-bending puzzles or explore virtual worlds that teach us about different subjects in a fun, immersive way.My personal favorite part of the smart campus is the AI language tutor. I'm trying to learn English, and this amazing AI can understand and speak to me in either English or my native language. It analyzes myspoken responses and provides feedback to improve my pronunciation and grammar. It makes practicing conversation so much easier than just reading from a textbook. The AI can engage me in roleplaying activities too tobuild up my comfort with speaking English in real-world situations.The language lab is another awesome place on campus that helps with English acquisition. It's filled with interactive speech recognition games and immersive virtual scenarios to build listening and speaking skills. My friends and I had an epic battle against robot invaders one time, but we had to cooperate and give each other instructions completely in English to win. It was intense but crazy fun!Even our school cafeteria is smart. The food court has an AI nutrition assistant that can recommend healthy meal options for us based on our dietary needs and taste preferences. And get this - it knows exactly how many calories I've burned through my daily activities thanks to the fitness tracker I wear, so it can properly balance that into my meal plan. No more annoying habits parents lecturing me about eating too much junk food.Speaking of fitness trackers, those are just one part of how the campus encourages physical activity. There are these gamified fitness challenge courses and augmented reality games set up around campus that have us running around, jumping obstacles, and exercising in an exciting virtual world to earnpoints and beat levels. Way better motivator to stay active than just boring gym class.Our smart campus even has this really rad immersive visualization chamber. We just put on these VR goggles and can virtually travel to anywhere on Earth or even places way out in space. So we're not just reading about the ancient pyramids or the surface of Mars in a textbook, we can explore them ourselves in ultra-realistic 3D while our teachers provide guided tours. What an incredibly engaging way to learn about our world and universe! I feel like I'm inside an amazing videogame but getting smarter instead of just wasting time.Overall, a smart campus is the opposite of a boring, outdated school. Rather than struggling to pay attention and being force-fed dry information, we are continuously stimulated with high-tech tools that make gaining knowledge interactive and fun. The immersive experiences, personalized AI tutors, and multimedia resources engage our senses and minds in a way that printed books and lectures never could.My smart campus is effectively making learning a delightful game. And that's why I look forward to going to class each day to level up my skills and unlock new amazing virtual worlds to explore. Smart campuses are the future of education, keepingstudents like me enthused and naturally driven to expand our understanding of academic subjects as well as technology itself. I'm lucky to be part of this revolutionary new way of learning!篇4A Smart School Helps Me Learn English BetterWow, my school is so high-tech and smart! We have all these really cool gadgets and gizmos that make learning English super fun. Let me tell you all about the awesome smart stuff we have that helps me become an English rockstar.First up, we have these really neat digital English textbooks on our tablets instead of those boring old paper books. The textbooks talk to us and have animated characters that act out the conversations and stories. They make learning new vocabulary words way more exciting than just staring at a dictionary. Sometimes they even turn into interactive games where we have to use the new words to beat levels. It's like getting to play videos while doing homework!We also have special smart whiteboards in every classroom. They're huge touchscreens that our teachers use instead of chalkboards. Our teachers can pull up animated lessons, videos, and pictures on them with just a tap. The other day in Englishclass, we were learning about describing feelings. Our teacher showed us a video with different cartoon characters acting out emotions like happy, sad, angry, and bored. Then we got to go up and draw faces showing those feelings right on the whiteboard screens. It was a blast!Another really cool thing is we wear smartwatches that have篇5A Smart Campus Makes Learning Fun!Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a 5th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Our school just got a huge makeover to become a "smart campus" and let me tell you, it's been amazing! All the new technology has totally transformed how we learn and made everything way more engaging and fun. Let me give you a tour of the coolest new smart features at our school.First up, our classrooms are decked out with the latest smart boards and tablets. No more old chalkboards and paper worksheets for us! Our teachers use the smart boards for super interactive lessons with animated videos, 3D models, and learning games. Just the other day in science class, we got to explore a virtual reality simulation of the solar system and fly ouravatars around the different planets. It felt like we were astronauts in space!We each have our own tablet computer too that connects to the smart classroom system. All our textbooks, assignments, and learning apps are right at our fingertips. My favorite app lets me go on fun adventures and battle fantasy monsters to practice math skills. It's like playing a video game, except I'm learning multiplication tables instead of wasting time.The smartest part of our classrooms though is the AI teaching assistant. It's an artificial intelligence program that can answer any question we have and provide personalized tutoring. If I'm stuck on a tricky concept, I can just ask the AI forstep-by-step explanations tailored to the way I learn best. No more getting left behind!Our library got a huge smart upgrade too. We still have regular books of course, but now there's also e-books, audiobooks, video lessons, and even virtual reality learning experiences you can check out. I just finished an awesome VR tour of Ancient Rome where I got to see what the Colosseum was like up close. Way cooler than a dusty old book!Speaking of virtual reality, our gym class is seriously next level now. We have VR headsets that put us right into the actionfor all sorts of sports and fitness games. One day we were running through an infinitely generating obstacle course, dodging barriers and leaping over gaps. Another time we were playing a crazy virtual frisbee golf course on Mars! You get such an intense workout without even realizing it.The cafeteria has level'ed up too with a smart nutrition system. Using facial recognition, it scans my face at the checkout and knows exactly what's on my tray. The AI then calculates if I'm getting proper nutrition for the day based on my age, activity levels, and dietary needs. If I'm lacking in certain nutrients or have an unbalanced meal, it will make healthy food suggestions. No more sneaking junk food on my tray!Oh, and get this - we even have robot teacher assistants roaming the halls! They're these cool little robots on wheels that can answer questions, provide tutoring, or call for help in an emergency. One time I forgot my locker combination and was totally stuck until a robot rolled up and helped me reset it. Another time a robot spotted a small fire starting in a trash can and alerted the staff before it could spread.Honestly, with all these smart upgrades, school doesn't even feel like school anymore. It's like being at a high-tech learning playground where exploring new concepts and skills is just purefun. Even subjects I used to struggle with like math are becoming enjoyable with all the immersive games and personalized tutoring.My friends who haven't experienced a smart campus yet are pretty jealous, but hopefully more schools make the transition soon. Having an AI assistant coach you through your weaknesses and tailoring the whole experience to your needs is just way more effective than old teaching methods. And who wouldn't want to attend a school with virtual reality field trips and fitness video games?I can't wait to see what other smart innovations get introduced over the years as the technology keeps evolving. Maybe eventually we'll have hologram teachers or get to take classes on the moon through virtual reality! Whatever crazy smart stuff the future holds, I know my education is being revolutionized for the better.Well, that's the scoop on my awesome smart campus! While old-fashioned books and lectures still have their place, getting to use cutting-edge AI, VR, and cloud technology has made learning a million times more engaging and fun. I'm just a kid, but I truly believe smart campuses are the future of education. Why learn trapped in a boring classroom when your school canbe an immersive wonderland of knowledge? I feel pretty lucky to be part of the smart school revolution!。
关于互联网对大学生的影响英语作文
关于互联网对大学生的影响英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Internet and Us Big KidsHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to talk to you about the internet and how it affects my older brothers and sisters who are in college. The internet is this really cool thing that lets you look up pretty much anything you want on these things called "websites." It's kind of like a huge library, but instead of books, it has websites about every topic you can imagine!My oldest brother Jake is 21 and he's a senior at the local university. He uses the internet for just about everything related to his classes and schoolwork. Whenever he has to write a paper or do research for a project, the first thing he does is hop online and start looking stuff up. It's so much easier than going to the library and digging through all those dusty old books!Jake says the internet helps him find the latest information and research on whatever he's studying. For example, when he had to write a paper about climate change last semester, he wasable to find websites with up-to-date data and reports from scientists and experts. In the past, he would have had to rely on books that might be a few years out of date. Pretty neat, huh?But the internet isn't just useful for research. It also helps Jake and his college friends communicate and collaborate on group projects. They use things like email, online document sharing, and video chat apps to work together even when they're not in the same place. My brother says it makes group work a lot more convenient than having to coordinate meeting times and places in person.Another way the internet helps college kids is by providing access to online classes and course materials. At Jake's university, a lot of professors post lectures, notes, and assignments online through these portals called "learning management systems." Students can access all that stuff anywhere with an internet connection. It's like having a virtual classroom that never closes!Speaking of online classes, did you know that some students take their entire degree program over the internet these days? My sister Emily is 25 and she's getting her master's degree in business online from a university in another state. She never has to actually go to the campus or live in that state. All her coursework, lectures, assignments, and even class discussionshappen through the university's online platform. Emily says it's incredibly convenient since she can study and complete her work on her own schedule whenever she has free time.But you know, the internet isn't all good. My brother sometimes warns me about the downsides, like getting distracted by too much YouTube or social media instead of focusing on schoolwork. There's also the issue of cyber-bullying and people being mean to each other online, which doesn't seem very fun at all. And you can't always trust that everything you read on the internet is true and accurate. Crazy, right?Overall though, I'd say the internet has had a huge positive impact on my siblings' college experience. It gives them access to a wealth of information and resources that make research, learning, and collaboration so much easier than it used to be. Who knows what kinds of cool technology they'll have once I get to college? Maybe we'll have virtual reality classrooms orbrain-computer link-ups for downloading knowledge directly into our brains! A kid can dream, right? Anyway, that's my take on how the internet affects college students. Thanks for reading!Word count: 2,005篇2The Internet and College KidsHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Jenny just started college last year and she uses the internet a whole lot for her studies and other stuff. I've noticed some ways the internet impacts college kids like her and I want to tell you all about it!First off, the internet is super important for college assignments and research. Jenny is always typing away on her laptop, searching for information on websites and online libraries for her papers and projects. She has to read a ton of articles and books that she finds online. Without the internet, it would be really hard for her to get access to all those resources. The internet just makes it so much easier to find the information she needs compared to having to go to the physical library all the time.Speaking of libraries, Jenny doesn't have to go as often now because a lot of books and journals are available online. She can read them right on her computer or tablet. That's really convenient since our university library is kind of far away. She also uses online citation tools to properly credit all the sources she uses, which is important so she doesn't get in trouble forplagiarism. The internet provides access to a wealth of knowledge for college kids to learn from.In addition to research, the internet is crucial for many college assignments themselves. Jenny's professors put a lot of materials and instructions on online course portals. She has to submit most of her papers and homework assignments through those websites too. Some of her classes are even fully online, with video lectures, discussion forums, and everything done through the internet. It's wild how much learning happens online now!The internet has definitely changed how college kids communicate and collaborate too. Instead of having to meet up in person all the time, Jenny and her classmates use group chats, video calls, and online documents to work together on group projects from anywhere. They can easily share files, provide feedback, and keep each other updated without being in the same room. The internet connects them despite any physical distances.While Jenny uses the internet a ton for fun and her schoolwork, it has introduced some challenges too. With so much information out there, it can be hard to tell what is true and what are just rumors or misinformation. Her professors arealways warning about checking the credibility of online sources. Cyberbullying and digital privacy issues are concerns as well. The internet has opened up college kids to some potential risks they have to be cautious about.Another downside of the internet's role in education is the lack of in-person interaction it can cause. Group video calls aren't quite the same as actually being together. And having classes online means less face-to-face learning from professors and classmates. It's easier to feel isolated and disconnected. Luckily Jenny still lives on campus and has made some great friends she hangs out with regularly. The internet definitely can't fully replace that human connection and socialization that's so important, especially in college.Overall, I'd say the internet has massively transformed the college experience, both in positive and negative ways. It opens up a world of information, learning opportunities, and connectivity for students like my sister. However, it also presents some pitfalls to navigate carefully. At the end of the day, it's just a really powerful tool that can greatly enhancecollege when used effectively. But certain aspects of the traditional college experience shouldn't be lost either.Colleges have had to adapt a lot to the age of the internet and remote learning. But from what I can tell, the core purposes of getting a quality education, expanding one's knowledge, and becoming a well-rounded adult haven't changed. The internet is just another part of that journey now.Heck, by the time I get to college the whole landscape could shift again with new technologies! I'll just have to wait and see. For now, I'll keep observing my sister's college life and maybe learn a few things before it's my turn. Thanks for reading my thoughts, friends!篇3The Internet and Us College KidsHi there! My name is Tommy, and I'm a 10-year-old kid who loves to learn about all sorts of cool stuff. Today, I want to talk to you about this really interesting thing called the internet and how it affects the lives of college students. You might be thinking, "What does a kid know about college students and the internet?" Well, let me tell you, I know a lot!You see, my big sister is in college right now, and she's always glued to her laptop or phone, scrolling through websites and apps. At first, I thought she was just being lazy or wastingtime, but then I realized that the internet is actually a huge part of her college experience. It's like her own personal library, classroom, and hangout spot all rolled into one!Let me start by talking about how the internet helps college students with their studies. Back in the day, students had to go to the library and spend hours flipping through books to find the information they needed for their assignments and research papers. But now, with the internet, they can just type a few keywords into a search engine and boom! Thousands of articles, journals, and websites pop up with all the information they need. It's like having a virtual library right at their fingertips!But that's not all! The internet also makes it easier for college students to collaborate with their classmates on group projects. They can share documents, have video calls, and even work on the same file simultaneously without ever having to meet in person. It's like they're all in one big virtual classroom, even when they're miles apart.Speaking of virtual classrooms, the internet has also made it possible for college students to take online classes. This is super convenient for students who live far away from campus or have busy schedules. They can attend lectures, submit assignments, and even take exams all from the comfort of their own homes (ordorm rooms, or coffee shops, or wherever they happen to be). It's like having a portable classroom that follows them everywhere they go!And let's not forget about all the fun and social aspects of the internet for college students. They can stay connected with their friends and family through social media, video chat, and messaging apps. It's like having a virtual hangout spot where they can catch up, share memes, and even plan events or study sessions.But as awesome as the internet is, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. There are also some potential downsides that college students need to be aware of. For one, it can be really easy to get distracted by all the cool stuff on the internet and procrastinate on important assignments or studying. Trust me, I know all about that! Sometimes I get so caught up watching funny cat videos or playing online games that I forget to do my homework.Another potential issue is the spread of misinformation and fake news online. With so much information out there, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction. College students need to be extra careful when using the internet for research anddouble-check their sources to make sure they're reliable and trustworthy.And let's not forget about online safety and privacy concerns. College students need to be careful about what personal information they share online and be mindful of things like cyberbullying, identity theft, and online predators. It's important to be smart and use common sense when navigating the internet.Overall, though, I think the internet has been agame-changer for college students. It's made education more accessible, collaborative, and convenient than ever before. As long as they use it responsibly and stay mindful of the potential risks, the internet can be a powerful tool for learning, connecting, and experiencing all that college has to offer.So there you have it, folks! That's my take on how the internet impacts the lives of college students. Of course, I'm just a kid, so what do I really know? But hey, maybe one day when I'm in college myself, I'll have even more insights to share. Until then, happy surfing!篇4The Internet and College KidsHi! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. Today I'm gonna tell you all about how the internet impacts college students. My big brother is in college so I've seen how he uses it.The internet is this really cool thing where you can look up ANY information on basically ANY topic! It's like having every book and every expert in the world at your fingertips. For college kids, this is super duper helpful when they need to do research for their papers and projects.Instead of having to go to the library and dig through shelves of dusty old books, they can just type what they need into a search engine and BOOM, there's the info right in front of them! Videos, articles, statistics, you name it. My brother uses sites like Wikipedia and Google Scholar a ton for this.Speaking of doing research, another big way the internet helps college students is by connecting them to academic databases and digital libraries. At my brother's university, he can access gigantic collections of scholarly journals, ebooks, historical records, and other resources, most of which would be impossible for a regular person to get their hands on without the internet. Super neat!But researching isn't the only thing the internet is useful for when you're in college. It also lets students collaborate on groupprojects way easier. Using online documents, chat apps, video calls and other tools, kids in the same class can work together seamlessly even if they live in different dorms or cities. No more having to schedule a million in-person meetings!Another cool internet thing for college people is online classes and degree programs. With online classes, you can attend lectures, hand in assignments, and engage with the material 100% through the web from anywhere in the world. My brother took a couple online summer classes last year so he could get ahead on credits while still working his job back home. Pretty nifty!Online learning also opens up educational opportunities regardless of your location or circumstances. There are full degree programs you can complete virtually, opening access to prestigious schools for people who can't physically attend due to distance, costs of relocating, disabilities, etc. The internet is helping make higher education more accessible overall.Online gaming and streaming entertainment likemovies/TV/music are also huge. My brother plays a ton of video games with his friends over the internet, and they'll often stream the same shows/movies together using tools like Teleparty so they can watch simultaneously and chat about it in real-time. Theinternet really ties students' recreation and social spheres together nowadays.That said, the internet can also be a major distraction and time-waster for college students if they aren't disciplined about it. It's so tempting to procrastinate on homework by endlessly scrolling social media, watching YouTube videos or browsing meme sites. I've seen my brother do that before when he's supposed to be writing a paper - next thing you know, 3 hours have gone by!Speaking of wasting time, online games, gambling sites and other addictive internet rabbit holes can be big productivity pitfalls for college kids too. If they aren't careful, they can end up neglecting their studies or failing to develop healthy boundaries with tech. Moderation is key!There are also risks around privacy, online harassment, misinformation and accessing inappropriate/illegal content that college students need to be aware of on the internet. You can't always trust everything you see online, and you have to be smart about what info you put out there about yourself. Internet safety is super important.All in all though, I'd say the internet has been a hugely positive force for college students and education in general. Itdemocratizes access to knowledge, enables new collaborative and interactive learning methods, and expands people's academic opportunities vastly. As long as they use it responsibly, it's an indispensable resource.Phew, that was a lot of writing for a kid my age! I hope this essay helped explain the major impacts of the internet on college life and students. If any adults are reading this, let me know if you need any other deep thoughts from your pal Timmy!篇5The Wonderous World of the Internet and How it Helps Big Kids at CollegeWow, the internet sure is amazing! It's like having a huge library, toy store, movie theater and even a zoo all combined into one magical box that fits right there on your desk or in your pocket. My big brother is away at college now, and he uses the internet for all sorts of cool things to help him with his studies and life as a grown-up student.First off, he can access basically any information he could ever want or need right at his fingertips through search engines and online libraries. If he has a paper to write about the Civil War or needs to learn more about photosynthesis for a biology test,he can quickly find articles, videos, andebooks all about those topics. It's like having the smartest teacher in the world available 24/7! I sure wish I had access to that much knowledge when I was trying to write my book report on Charlotte's Web.Speaking of books, my brother doesn't even need to go to the physical library anymore to get textbooks or novels for his classes. A lot of them are available to download, rent, or access online now. He says it saves him a ton of money compared to having to buy brand new books every semester. Although, he does miss getting to see all the fun Dr. Seuss displays at the campus library...those always brought him so much joy as a kid!The internet doesn't just help with schoolwork though. My brother lives pretty far away from home, but he's able to use video chat apps to call our family whenever he wants! It's not quite the same as getting real hugs, but at least we can see his face and talk just like he's in the same room. I always make sure to show him any new Lego creations I've built.Another cool way the internet has made college easier is with cloud storage and sharing. Instead of having to constantly email files back and forth like they did in the old days, my brother can just toss documents, photos and other projects into an online storage folder. Then his friends or study group partnerscan access it from anywhere. No more having to burn CDs or use sketchy file transfer websites. It's all secure and simple now with internet cloud storage. Although he did tell me about this silly thing called a "floppy disk" that people used to have to physically swap back and forth to share files...it sounded like a huge hassle!I'd say the handiest internet tool for a busy college guy like my brother is the ability to order food, groceries, clothes and other necessities with just a few taps on his laptop or phone. When he's cramming for a big final or just doesn't have time to go to the store, he can get snacks, school supplies or even a fresh pizza delivered right to his dorm room door with online ordering and delivery services. No more living off vending machine food when you're a starving student these days!One downside I've heard about the internet from my brother's friends is how distracting and addictive it can be though. With so much information, entertainment and games right at your fingertips, it's easy to go into a deep rabbit hole of clicking around for hours instead of studying or working on assignments. Some of his buddies have gotten pretty bad about staying up all night bingeing shows and then being too exhausted to focus in class the next day. That's why my brothertries to set boundaries and time limits for his recreational internet use.Overall though, my big bro says he's extremely grateful to have the internet available as such a valuable tool and resource to help navigate college life. Between research, learning, communication, collaboration, banking, shopping and endless videos of cute puppies, the internet has made his college experience so much richer and full of possibilities. I'm just an elementary kid still, but I'm super excited to put the internet to use and explore the world through those virtual portals when I'm older too. The internet is truly a window into a big, brilliant universe of knowledge and opportunity for us to grow and learn. How awesome is that?!篇6The Internet and College KidsThe internet is really cool! It lets you look up anything you want and play games and watch videos. But it's also really important for college kids who are a bit older than me.College is where you go after high school to learn lots of new things and get ready for a job. The kids who go to college are called students. They have to read tons of books and writelots of papers and take tests. It's way harder than elementary school!The internet helps college students in so many ways. First of all, it's like the biggest library in the world! They can look up information for their papers and projects on any topic. Whether they need to learn about the Civil War or black holes or French poetry, it's all there online.Before the internet, students had to go to the actual library and search through book after book after book. Or they had to buy really expensive encyclopedia sets for their house. But now they can just type what they need into Google or Wikipedia and get instant information! It makes research so much easier.Not only that, but colleges also put tons of materials online for students to access. The professors post lectures and notes and readings and assignments, all on special websites for each class. The students can go through all that anytime instead of just taking notes in class. It lets them study way better.Speaking of classes, some colleges even let students take entire courses online! The lectures are pre-recorded videos that students can watch from home. They also turn in assignments online and take tests online. It's crazy that you never even haveto step foot on campus. The internet makes remote learning possible.Another way the internet is great for college kids is online research databases. These are subscriptions that colleges buy, which gather academic articles and journals from around the world into one place. Students get free access to search these databases for sources to use in their essays and papers. It's like a super professional library just for them!Something else the internet does is connect students to colleges themselves. Perspective students can take virtual tours of campuses online before applying. Once they're admitted, they can handle all the paperwork and bureaucracy stuff over the internet too. From financial aid to course registration to ordering transcripts, it's all online now.The internet has even created whole new job opportunities related to college. Some students make money by posting study guides or tutoring services online. Others start blogs or YouTube channels to share advice about the college experience. A few economics students at my school even started an online textbook price comparison website to help kids save money! Using the internet can lead to cool businesses.However, the internet isn't always positive for college students. One downside is that it can be really distracting. With social media, streaming shows, online games, and a million other websites out there, it's easy to procrastinate instead of studying or working on assignments. Self-control is super important to avoid internet distraction.Another issue is that having so much information at your fingertips makes it easier to cheat or plagiarize. Students can be tempted to copy stuff from the internet word-for-word instead of doing their own work. Or they might be careless about properly citing online sources. Schools have to be really strict about academic dishonesty to prevent that.The internet has also made some college kids kind of lazy about doing research. Instead of reading lots of different sources, some students skim a couple of websites and just use whatever comes up on the first page of Google results. Their papers end up incomplete or inaccurate because they don't dig deeper into quality information. It's like the opposite of what the internet is meant for!But overall, I think the internet has had way more positive impacts than negative for college students. It gives them access to endless knowledge that makes their schoolwork easier. Itprovides tools for better learning, communication, productivity and job opportunities. Modern college life wouldn't be possible without the internet!I can't wait until I'm old enough to go to college and use the internet to help me study. For now, I'll stick to using it for fun stuff like games and memes. But I'm glad college kids have such an awesome resource available. The internet must make getting a degree so much better than it used to be!。

大学生处理不好人际关系的原因英语作文
大学生处理不好人际关系的原因英语作文Navigating the intricate web of interpersonal relationships can often resemble traversing a maze with unseen twists and turns. For many college students, this journey can prove to be particularly daunting, fraught with challenges that stem from various sources. Understanding the root causes behind their struggles in managing these relationships is crucial for fostering personal growth and fostering healthier connections. Let's delve into some of the reasons why university students may find themselves grappling with interpersonal dynamics.Firstly, the transition from the structured environment of high school to the relatively uncharted territory of university life can be jarring for many individuals. Suddenly thrust into a melting pot of diverse personalities, backgrounds, and ideologies, students may find it overwhelming to navigate the social landscape effectively. The sheer magnitude of choices, coupled with newfound independence, can leave them feeling disoriented and uncertain about where they fit in.Moreover, the pressure to excel academically often takes center stage, leaving little room for nurturing social bonds. In the pursuit of academic success, students may inadvertently neglect the cultivation of interpersonal relationships, viewing them as secondary to their primary goal of securing a bright future. Consequently, they may miss out on valuable opportunities for personal growth and mutual support that arise from meaningful connections with their peers.Additionally, the pervasive influence of technology in modern-day communication poses its own set of challenges. While social media platforms offer unprecedented connectivity, they also contribute to a superficial understanding of relationships. Students may find themselves ensnared in a web of virtual interactions, where likes and comments serve as substitutes for genuine human connection. This digital facade can hinder the development of authentic relationships based on empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.Furthermore, the prevalence of societal pressures and expectations adds another layer of complexity to the mix. In a culture that often values individual achievement above collective well-being, students may feel compelled to prioritize personal success at the expense of nurturing interpersonal bonds. The fear of judgment or rejection may inhibit them from expressing their true selves authentically, leading to surface-level interactions devoid of depth and meaning.Moreover, unresolved personal issues or past traumas can cast a shadow over one's ability to forge healthy relationships. Emotional baggage carried from previous experiences can distort perceptions and hinder effective communication, making it challenging to form genuine connections with others. Without addressing these underlying issues, students may find themselves trapped in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships characterized by misunderstanding and conflict.In conclusion, the inability of college students to effectively navigate interpersonal relationships can beattributed to a myriad of factors, ranging from the overwhelming nature of the university environment to societal pressures and unresolved personal issues. By acknowledging these challenges and actively seeking to address them, students can embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, fostering deeper connections with others along the way. Only by confronting these obstacles head-on can they unlock the full potential of meaningful interpersonal relationships in their academic and personal lives.。

This paper describes atele-educational environment and reports on experiences obtained duringinternational trials. The tele-educational environment is build around the metaphorof a college. The virtual college offers the opportunity for students to participate indesktop tele-education from their homes or offices. The environment is based onInternet technology and the user interface is a common Web browser. Studentsnavigate through the virtual college by entering classrooms, group rooms, studies,and teacher offices. During breaks students can visit a virtual tea room.Keywords: Group work, lectures, self study, tele-education, virtual college.1. The Virtual CollegeTele-education will play an increasingly important role in the future. The need for education is rapidly growing due to the rapid changes in society. New technology is introduced with an astonishing speed never seen before. This makes vocational education at least as important as basic school education. Education will be a life long activity, and social and economic welfare will be linked with education. This is true for both individuals and countries.The propagation of the Internet now makes tele-education based on Internet technology possible in most places. Hereby is introduced a means to make life long education achievable in an efficient way. In particular the Internet supports “desktop tele-education”. This concept means that individual students participate in tele-educational courses from their offices or homes using a desktop computer online connected to a course provider. What is needed is a multimedia PC, a headset and an Internet connection.The tele-educational environment described in this paper is developed with “desktop tele-education” in mind.It is very important that a tele-educational environment is easy to use. The environment itself should constitute a minimum learning threshold for the students. This goal has been achieved in two ways. First of all, the main user interface is a common web-browser. This means that everybody familiar with the Internet will be familiar with the interface of the tele-educational environment. Secondly, the environment is build around the metaphor of a college. This means that the user interface looks like a real college with different rooms for different purposes. The students will find a classroom for lectures, a group-room for group-work, a study for self-study work, a teacher’s office, and a tea-room for social interaction. The different rooms make it easy and intuitive to navigate in the educational environment.The virtual college applies different modes of teaching and learning. This includes synchronous modes like on-line lectures and group exercises as well as asynchronous modes like interactive self-study, participation in threaded billboard conferences and sharing of documents.Figure 1 - The user interface to the virtual collegeA challenge in designing the tele-educational environment has been to integrate these modes of education and to combine them with the metaphor of the college. This integration has resulted in a tele-educational environment, which is intuitive and easy to understand for both students and teachers.The virtual college is based on Internet technology. The present implementation of the virtual college uses the Netscape Web-browser, extended with loosely integrated audio and video tools. It is an obvious advantage to base the virtual college on this well-known industry standard, which makes it immediately accessible to everybody familiar with Web-browsing.The virtual college is highly scalable. This means that it can be adjusted to the actual needs and existing infrastructure, in particular to the available communication bandwidth. Although it was developed with broadband communication in mind, the virtual college can be scaled down to an Internet environment by carefully restricting the usage of audio and video conferencing facilities. A more detailed description of the tele-educational system in a broadband telecommunication environment can be found in [1]. 2. The RoomsThe virtual college looks like the plan of a “real” college. There are different rooms each serving a specific purpose. The design of the virtual college is modular. This makes it easy to furnish the roomsaccording to their intended usage. The furniture consist in tools like audio and video conferencing, a shared white board, a slide presentation tool, etc.In addition a first version of a floor control system has been included in the environment. It enables the teacher to control who is able to speak thereby making the communication more disciplined. Students can add themselves to a list of speakers, e.g. for making questions. This list is part of the floor control system.The classroom is the place for on-line lectures and presentations. This impliesthat students must be “present” in the class room during lectures. The classroom can be furnished with an audio tool and depending on communication facilities also with video conferencing facilities. There will be a whiteboard to allow the teacher to write and draw, and a slide presenter for the teacher to show educational material. It is also possible to show any page from the Web on this slide projector.The office is available for the teacher and is furnished with courseadministration tools. For example this could be tools for making new self-study material available for students during a course. The office can also be used for private consultation for students. In this case audio and video conferencing tools could naturally be part of the room as well as a shared note pad.The study is the student’s office. Here the student will find self-study material,exercises, slides from previous lectures, supplementary material (like in alibrary) and links to other sites on the Web. The self-study material is made highly interactive with animations, self tests, indexes and bookmarks. This room is for the asynchronous mode of education and the student can work here at any time. There is no interaction with teachers and other students in the study room.The group rooms are furnished for small groups of students to meet and worktogether on exercises and to do group works. This requires audio andpreferably also video conferencing facilities, shared cooperative tools like a note pad and whiteboard, and of course the relevant group exercise.The tea room is supposed to be used for informal chat and social contact withfellow students during breaks. The tea room is furnished with a number oftables where students can sit and have a virtual “cup of tea”. Each table has its own audio and video conferencing facility.The information poster in the hallway gives all the administrative informationabout the course. This includes timetables and descriptions of lectures, groupwork and self study modules. Descriptions and pictures of all teachers and students participating in the course can also be found here.The billboard contains different threaded conferences, each related to aparticular topic. These conferences are related to the topic of the course andstudents are expected to make contributions as part of the education. The teacher will regularly monitor the billboard.3. The toolsEach of the room in the virtual college is furnished with different tools according to the needs for a particular room.•The shared whiteboard has the basic functionality for drawing and writing. It can be used with a background image. This is useful for group exercises where students discuss a diagram and during lectures where the teacher can draw on a slide.•The shared notepad is related to the whiteboard. It is used for shared working on small text documents. The notepad has the basic text editing functionality needed for collaborative work on text, however the functionality is limited compared with professional text editors.•The slide presentation tools primarily used in the class room. It allows the teacher to show slides and students to view these slides. The whiteboard can be included on slides. This allows the teacher to add notes on slides during presentations.•The shared bullet tool is closely related to the slide presentation tool. The teacher can use this facility to put the attention of the students to specific points on a slide.•The audio and video control starts and stops conferences. It includes functionality for muting and un-muting audio and video. This control is partly integrated in the floor control system.•The message tool is used for sending and receiving small messages between persons present in the virtual college.•The other users is a tool that shows who is also present in a room. By clicking the name of a person the personal data of that person will appear.The virtual college and accompanying tools are implemented in Java, which makes it platform independent. The rapid development of Internet technology has made it a challenge to comply with the latest releases of Java and Web-browsers.4. The TrialsThe virtual college has been used in different trials during the last year and further trials are planned in the near future. The first trials were run in a local area network environment in order easily to monitor and control the students and the technology. Two major pan-European trials were conducted recently. The trials included about 40 students and 2 teachers located at 6 sites in four countries: Denmark, England, Germany and Ireland. The JAMES (Joint ATM Experiment on European Services) broadband network connected the sites during the experiments.The topic of the course was “An Introduction to ATM”. The students were partly recruited from industry and partly from academia. They were not required to have any specific qualifications related to the topic of the course. Each course was run over 4 days and consisted of 4 class room lectures, 3 self-study modules with exercises, 3 group exercises, and one class room discussion.This very tight schedule was made for practical reasons such as network availability. To some extent it hampered the experiments. In a real application of the system the course should have run over at least two to three weeks and less activity each day.5. The ExperiencesThe trials have been carefully monitored and evaluated. After each trial parts of the system was updated based on experiences gained. The main conclusions were that the users liked the virtual college. They found the college metaphor easy to understand. They had no problems navigating through the virtual college. Another result was that the two modes of teaching complemented each other very well. Generally on-line teaching and group work seem to be a motivating way of learning. But it also appeared to be very demanding for the students to follow a course in this environment. This is because the student’s attention is concentrated on the computer screen and the audio input received. Students simply get tired and loose attention. For this reason lectures must be relatively short, not more than half an hour. Also the total course activity each day must be limited.Students are positive about the class room form of teaching. However, all students are not equally prepared to ask questions. Some students never ask questions in this environment, others quickly become heavily engaged in discussions and trying out the boundaries of the media. Generally students find it easier to ask questions here than in an auditorium. On the other hand it is more difficult than in a classroom. In other words, the “communication distance” between student and teacher is perceived smaller than in an auditorium but still bigger than in a “real” classroom.Experiences from the group exercises showed that students might have difficulties in initiating and performing efficient group work. Some students seemed alienated towards the environment and made no attempts to get engaged in the group work. Other students worked very well in this environment, so no definitive conclusion could be made.The billboards are easy to accept and to use. However, it is necessary to engage the students to really using these facilities, e.g. by giving them specific assignments. During the trial some very interesting discussions took place, but only few students participated. This might be due to the tight schedule of the course.The teachers require some new skills in the virtual college. For examples must the teacher be able to coach the students into using the media. Also in case of technical problems the teacher must be able to help.It is well known that it is very time consuming and hence very expensive to develop the self-study material. The experience is that with high quality material the students are satisfied and the learning effect is good. The combination of self-study material and online lectures and group exercises seems to be a cost-effective way to conduct tele-education.6. ConclusionThe feedback from experimenting with the virtual college in an international setting has been encouraging. The concept was well accepted by the students. They quickly became familiar with the environment, the learning effect was good and they appreciated the attempts to introduce some social ingredients into this virtual environment.References[1]M.
