While writing an essay, many students copy other's ideas from the Internet without
referencing his or her name. In order to get rid of this plagiarism activity, teachers have found a
more effective tool which is called TurnItIn . Only type the eassy into computer, the scanner
can immediately tell which part or phrase is copied . (Duncan,2007,P 5)

Reflection
Today, we go to a website which teaches us how to choose the information we need on the Internet without being cheated.
It tells me to search more about the author from whom I'd like to pick out his idea ,so that I
can know whether he is a quack or not. Frequently, I 100% trust those articles and their
authors presented on the Internet ,but those e-articles I was used to choose in China were from
school's e-library in which a lot of professors' published articles were available.
From now on, I should learn how to differentiate various resources and be alarmed .

Fianally, finally, we find our flat in woodgreen where we will move in next week . It's not a big place, but it is my home in UK.
As for reading, I begin to realize that finishing the whole book word by word is unrealistic and time-wasting, so what I have done is to pick some chapters I am interested in and try my best to understand.
Here are two phrases I pick out from my reading which I also have seen in other articles
divest one/oneself of sth: take away sb's power,rights,responsibility,etc
rid oneself of(a feeling, an idea ,ect)
sacred cow: sth can not be criticised or questioned. It's a kind of authority

Today is Bank holiday. I write my diary in Microsoft word, and copy it to my blog tomorrow, for there is no Internet in my accommodation.
These days, we four have been looking for a new house day and night; however, no result . A little depressed I feel , but a good one will come at last, I believe.
The two books I have borrowed from library are my company in this weekend. AVON tells me how to grasp every opportunity and inspiration in order to develop, in which I begin to realize the importance of making right decision. Another book , Smashing Chinese Iron Bowl , provides me another vision to see my own country’s economy and society .
On Saturday, we went to Trafalgar to watch closing ceremony of Beijing Olympic. Standing among crowds and watching that shining bird net ,I began to miss my mom , who must be sitting in front of TV and watching the same scene . Any way ,Olympic was over, people have to learn calm down from that big party and go on their peaceful life.

one week in UK
I arrived in London airport last Thursday afternoon, knowing nothing about this city and my future life. That night I felt really wired ,for I had no idear what my life would go to be.
One week later, I am sitting before school's computer ,totally having used to London's life and study style. What's more important, I am not homesicking.
I have met a lot of friends here, who are from different countries .Meeting people helps me to realize the diversity of this world ; however , in my opinion, people 's mind are alomost the same in deep heart.

This morning my mama called me ,and told me a news that has shocked me the whole day,

self introduction
My name is Mengjie Shen, a girl from east of China. Nothing can attract me for a long time, so I do not have fixed interest ,however, I always keep reading anytime and anywhere., for reading wake me up. The subject I am going to study is Business Enterprise. In my opinion, this course tells me how an enterprise should organize so as to accelerate its development and maximum profit.
During this four week, I want to improve my writting and reading skill. Sometimes there are a lot of ideas filling my mind ,but I can not find those appropriate words to express. As for reading, I am used to going over the passage word by word, what's more, I can not grasp the main idea. The most useful way to improve my weakness is to read as much as I can. Apprarently, I can achive nothing without persistance.Therefor , how to keep up reading is another tough work to me.
