literacy--math

To have the math as your literacy is one the basic ability people should have. We learned math since the first day we attended school. We start from the basic algebra problem to calculus. Math grows up with every single person. It is amazing that math have made a great deal of contribution to human beings. Imagine if there is no math in the world, what the world would be like?
Firstly, we learned adding and minus numbers which is important in our daily measurement. We use the measurement skill to calculate the money we make and cost and the schedule we made. Math plays an important part in my life, not only in my study, but also in my daily life. For example, when we have dinner in the restaurant, we are supposed to calculate out the tips, and we buy something, we should figure out how much money we should give and receive. No one can live without math.
Math is not just numbers calculation; the logic in math developed the critic thinking skill. We have been trained to have the math logic in our math class. We learned how to solve problems step by step, how the connections between two steps, how is the connection work from the logic side. Math have train our brain, to think logically.

literacy--music

Music has become one of the most popular amusement ways for people to relax themselves, and music also can give people a different mode for their daily life is Music is almost everywhere in our society.
When I first get into music is when I was 6 years old. I learned 1 year piano at that time. Since that, I grow up with piano, with the music dole and the melody. When I play piano, I feel the connection between music and me, I feel myself flow with the music. Music can give me different mode; she gives me confidence, feel good and relaxation. I tread music as my literacy because it has its own langrage. Different langrage have exist every region in the world; however, the langrage of music is the same all over the world. It is a depend language; musicians communicate with each other use that certain langrage. It has its own way of talking and writing. For me, piano is the instrument to make the most beautiful music; each bond on the piano is a single word, musicians is like a writer, which compose the different bond into a melody. Different melody is just like a different story. It evolves emotion for their listeners and gives them the feeling of beautiful.

literacy--child education

Education is an important literacy people should have. From my aspect, one of the most important educations that people have during their life is child education.
Child education is very important because it is the first education people have since they born. So it is the first literacy people learned through their entire life. When we were born, we do not know what is right and what is wrong. We just simply copy from our parents’ and older people. We learn a lot more from parents than school about how to behave as a person. That is why most kid act like their parents. Most of our hobbit, personality, and our actions are inherited from the early age. In another word, childhood education can determine how a person would be like in the future. Child education plays an important part in both childhood and later education for individuals. Child education gave us a huge impact to how people think and react.
Child education has a great effect to how a person will behave in his/her future life. Children apes to people around them. Having a good childhood is definitely an important crucial element for children. A good education can help a person achieve his goal, acquire the quality to think thoroughly, and react wisely.

The Guest House

by Rumi

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

Response of Mother Tongue

Form the essay of Mother Tongue the writer told us some real stories about her mother who speaks "limited and broken language". As a Chinese America, her mother's speaks English with Chinese accent. which made her society status different from others. She feels hard to communicate with others, and also hard for her to express her ideas and imagination.
For my aspect, the culture and language has been the biggest obstacle for a second language learner to adapt into the new society. As an international student, sometimes I feel the same way what the writer's mother felt. All the strangeness, culture shock, or different ways of doing things drives me crazy, especially the first time when I was in United States which is 2 years ago. As I stayed here longer, I feel more comfortable than the first I got there. However, the English I spoke which is still very different from the native residents, I still feel like I am an outsider. The "limited and Broken English" made it hard to involve into this society.

Response of Challenging Theories of Knowledge

After I read the article the challenging theories of knowing, I understand that langrage has been taking an effective status in our society. Langrage it is a way of people to communicate with each other, and also the way of teaching, learning and understanding. Living in world, the only way of receive the news from all over the world is from langrage. Langrage has become the connection between individuals, society and nations. People exchange ideas, cultures and history through langrage. From the article, writing is a kind of langrage, and it is also the most powerful way of thinking and present one’s idea, thought and ideology. For myself, I learned from the writing resources, which leads me to think deeply about the ideas, methodologies of different views, and also gives me knowledge and knows the world better. I used the same way to connecting with different people, or present and share my prospect with others.
