As we have discussed in class, a good story needs to address these six simple questions: the who, the what, the where, the when, the why, and the how. Your readers will be looking for the answers to these questions, so it is your job to supply them.In this journal blog, there are 2 parts. Firstly, describe an issue of local interest. Think of something that is happening that affects the lives of people living there (which may include you), and help the reader know why this matters. Try to draft a headline for your story. Make this post by Friday, midnight.
Remember that even stories of local interest should have resonance for people who don't live there. A good writer can make something far away have personal appeal.
Secondly, read and respond to 2 of your classmates. Explain what you would expect to learn about in their story, and whether or not this would matter to you. Make this post by before Tuesday's class.
Remember to include your ID# in your post. Aj. M

DeleteI would expect to know how normally freshmen do to adapt to the environment and is it common in other country or their previous (high school) environment? If they did not joined activities that the university provide such as Rub-nong, would they still are able to adapt in uni or are there other way to adapt in this new environment? It would matter to me because I am also freshmen and I want to know how other's life as a freshmen.

DeleteWhat makes many students feel bad, awkward eating alone in public (college), is it true that other people would think that they are friendless or unpopular?
ReplyDelete6181095
Why most people think that eating alone means having no friends?
Delete6181257
Why many students have to care how others will think or judge them that they are friendless by just seeing them eating alone once? How can we make that kind of students cling to a quote say that “Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket”?

DeleteThe rate of youth depression has been rising in many countries, especially in the “Land of Smile,” Thailand. Many students are suffering from depression, up to the point where they attempt to commit suicide. Just recently, Thailand has been ranked as high as 32nd in its annual suicide rate. Even with the rate that is high to this extent, many people - including students, parents and teachers – still do not seem to truly understand what depression is. More attention should surely be put into this matter.
