Chapter 4 - Time Management - Reaction to debate paragraph

I'm disagree about riding bike in breakfast to go to school. There are several reason that I disagree. First of all, I don't know how far the school from his house. Anyway, riding a bike in the morning is extremly tired and sleepy. Second reason is the bike will be at least more 100 dollars. Then you have to pay the money for bike. And also if it brake down, and you should pay the bill of repair. Third reason is if you ride a bike in the morning then that will be very dangerous. Also you can get injury from accident. Fourth problem is safity of the bike. It means stealing bike is still a lot. So if you do not careful, then you will easy to lose your bike. Even bike is fast and make body healthy, but I don't think riding bike is much faster than take shuttle bus. Also shuttle bus is much comfortable if you take the shuttle bus schedule. In conclusion, the best solution is get up early and taking the shuttle bus.

Reaction to Film of Stand and Deliver

I was little bit bored this movie because there has no action scene. But I learned very improtant things in this movie. I'm studying English but it's still very poor and slow. I think it's same as the students of the film. The most important thing of improver your study skill that is pay attention in the class, study everytime in the home, do your best on the exam and any activities and trust yourself. After I watch this movie, I thought I can do it, too. I'll do my best after this time.

Relation to case study of Stand and deliver

In the case study from Unit 1 and in this movie, I thought, it is very simillar. Because of the main characters are very poor at study at the first. In the case study's main character "Mei" get a lots of stress in the school and still has a problem with her friends and the campus life. It also can say
Mei had a culture shock in the USA. I hope that if she would rather is not going to study hard and pay attention in the class than go back to her country.

Summary and Analysis of Stand and Deliver

Mr. Escalante was lost his job and he decided to be a math teacher. But the students was very poor. So he want to encourage them and improve their study. Day after day the students became like the teacher and getting better. The students took an exam and all of them were passed the exam. But the test office didn't trust that. Because they were a trouble students before. So the teacher complain to the test office and let students take retest for proof their grade. At the end, they passed the exam and year after year all of the students passed the math exam whose teached by Mr. Escalante.
