I know the definition of bias. Bias is a person’s beliefs, and the influence these beliefs have on a person, in terms of writing, reading and speaking or opinions. You can know the bias of others in conversations with others, read a book or an article, or a news, you all can know the author’s bias. And bias always use rhetortic and fallacies.

I have a very good friend (I think), and we are usually happy to exchange different opinions with each other, just because our opinions are always different, so we both want to convince each other with our own points, but never succeeded. We can discuss books, current affairs, or a news, but never the same. One day, my bestie and I were preparing to go out for afternoon tea, and this friend of mine also was there. When we were chatting, we suddenly mentioned Camus’s Outsider. I liked this book very much, but I have not finished it yet. This friend of mine thinks this is not a good book, because she did not like this style of book originally, but because I like it very much and I read part of it, I asked her why this is not a good book, she said This is not in line with normal people’s worldview. Some views are too negative, and I am really angry because I don’t like she said that this style of book is bad and this book breaks the reader’s worldview. This is all about defining everyone’s point of view with her own point of view.

After I studied the bias, I think the condition of difference between me and her who have different opinions on many things, it called different people have different bias.

Today there was a news called “Here’s how long Corona viruses may linger on contaminated surfaces, according to science” is about the Corona virus. Because so many China’s central bank has taken measures to deep clean and destroy its cash, which changes hands multiple times a day, in an effort to contain the virus.

This news comes from Cable News Network (CNN), they are democrats. The main structure of this news article is to introduce the basic characteristics of the new Corona Virus, and then to spread the relevant extension questions to readers. For example, people did not know the source of the infection at first, but later found that Sars and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome were similar to the Corona Virus, so it was suspected to be an animal infection, but later American experts defined it as zoonotic disease.

The news mentions that 80% of mild patients can recover, and the fatality rate is only 2%, which is far less than that of Sars. It also mentions related routes of transmission and possible modes of transmission. Finally, according to the report of the CDC, it was concluded that the new Corona virus belonging to the influenza class could survive on some surfaces for up to 48 hours.

The details of this report are that Charles of the Virus Research Institute uses only bacteria to study how long a new Corona virus lives on surface objects, and experts are investigating how the new Corona virus spreads through the pipeline in Hong Kong.

The main point of the whole news is that because China was severely attacked by the new Corona virus and even started to destroy some RMB (Chinese cash), American experts studied how long the new Corona virus can survive on the surface of objects to reduce the infection rate.

I-search group meeting is my first time to participate in a group meeting. I will divide it into two parts to talk about what I like and dislike.

Let me talk about the part I like first. I think that some members of the group read my article carefully and then gave me suggestions. This allows me to better improve my article from the reader’s perspective. There is also a group discussion group meeting that I think this is the style of American universities, which allows me to seamlessly connect with future courses in NAU. For advice to others, I can increase my reading volume and understand other group member’s thoughts. If my group members perform well in one area, I will also reflect on my own article, maybe her structure well, the narrative is good, and I should also use her advantages in my article.

Of course, I also have some parts that I do not like because some group members do not take them seriously and do not give very good suggestions, which makes me sad. Also, the group meeting made me feel ineffective, not to say that it did not help me, but it did not help me a lot, because many of my classmates were Chinese and English was their second language. Whether my article can be understood by a native English speaker, and if it is a native English speaker who reads my article, will he find it strange? This is the flaw so far, and I ca not get some advice from my peers who are native English speakers.

Although there are good and bad in group meetings, so far, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, because without a group meeting, my article may have many problems, because I don’t know what my readers think, even English learners.

I am very interested in the topic of President Trump, first because he is a businessman, but he participated in the election, and finally he was successfully elected as president. It is not that I have any discrimination against this, but I think that the basic requirement of national leaders is to have political experience. For why I care about Trump, it is not because of any special reason, but because of the trade war between America and China, also I am studying in the United States now. I must pay attention to the news in the United States.

When I did not come to the United States, I thought it was a coincidence that Trump became president. I thought that there would not be many people in the United States to support him. When I was in China, I also saw an overseas grandma who said that she wanted a birthday present when she ninety years old. The birthday present that she want is someone who can impeach Trump. I thought that many people in the United States should not support Trump is true. But then I thought that this was American freedom of speech and it did not tell me too much.

In class, we read a news that Trump has not stepped down since he was impeached. He is still the president of the United States. Although this is not ‘satisfactory’, all previous presidents have been stepped down after impeached. Regarding this news, it is natural that some people are happy and some worry, because there are many parties in the United States, some parties support Trump, and some are very opposed to him. I did not know that many people in the United States also support Trump, but if we analyze it, we will find that they support Trump because of their own political views, because Americans have very clear political positions.

From I-search alone, there are many descriptions of the research resources I have learned. For example, in a research article, there are two essential materials. One is to interview professionals, and the other is academic resources, it can be article. In the article, if you need to cite the research results of others, you need to use not only citation in your own article, but at the end of the article, you need to list it separately by reference. You need to use the correct format in the reference. The citations mentioned in each article need to be clearly cited.

In many articles in the United States, the author can be found to indicate the source of the research resources. For example, if I were to write an article about health, I would definitely interview a doctor or a nutritionist and make some health-related connections based on their perspective. Then I will go find some related articles, find what I need for health, and then draw my own research results. Because interviews and academic articles are necessary, but from i-search, I think that a lot of research resources are still needed, such as doing some survey reports.

Because I understand the role of research resources, I have changed a lot of my writing viewpoints and methods. At the same time, I have also improved my I-search based on what I have learned. I have proven my opinions in different ways, and more Perfect my research questions.

When I know how to use research sources, I start to change my writing format, I try my best to use the right way to fix my I-search. I think format is very important for an article, especially to reflect the attitude of the writer, which is why I pay great attention to format.

This course of English 105 allows me to learn the standard of writing. Before I formally enter NAU, learn how to regulate your writing. Not only that, but it can also correct my previous writing habits. In many writings in the United States, there are many different standards. For example, people other than the second person cannot be used subjects.

In class, I learned the format and usage of citation. Before I quote the results of others, I need to explain why I need to cite his findings next. When I need to use the research results of some experts or highly professional people in the research article, I need to use quotation marks to mark the part I use, and use citation at the end of the sentence. The surname of the expert or professional person, the information I cited is on the pages of his research article. When I finished quoting, I need to explain in my own words, and then focus on explaining his research arguments and results to further understand my research questions.

At first, I didn’t understand the reason. I think that Americans pay attention to intellectual property rights and do not want others to infringe on his or her research results, because this is neither polite nor violates legal regulations in the United States. But then I think that it is not only to protect the intellectual property rights of researchers, but also to let others know that your own research articles are justified and well-founded, and it is also convenient for readers to learn a lot if readers are interested.

When I read this article“The Tell Tale Heart” in class, I noticed that there were many sentences in the whole article, mostly short sentences, and the tenses of the sentences were in the past tense. I think this is the basic feature of the narrative article.

In the whole article, the author wrote the article as a story, with the beginning, the climax and the turn, so that people want to continue reading when they want to know what happened. Short sentences are more characteristic of the character. The author also describes the protagonist’s psychological thoughts.

In my I-search, I think we can use narrative writing, because it can attract readers. Whether it is the first part or the second part, for example, in the first part I can use narrative writing to write why I want to study this problem. In the second part, I can write about what happened when I explored my research, in addition to what opinions I learned, I can also describe what happened when I searched for answers or interviewed professionals. How do I feel when I know these ideas, because in the process of my exploration, I do not know the result, when I know the result, will I have new questions.

I think for beginners, narrative writing is a good way to improve their writing skills, because just like telling stories in language, it not only improves language, but also greatly improves writing skills. In my I-search, I will appropriately use narrative techniques on the basis of requirements, which will make my article appear more mature.

When I read an article, I pay attention to the author’s writing methods and opinions. The author will certainly enlarge his point of view in the article. This is the same in both Chinese and American articles. Finding the author’s point of view, and finding examples to support these points of view, can understand the author’s purpose of writing, of course, some writers will also indicate their reasons for writing. This made me realize that a reading article, for the author, is the same as I-search for me. If I knew exactly what to write in each section, my readers would easily understand my purpose.

As for how to summarize an article or a paragraph of an article, of course, is inseparable from understanding the author’s point of view, according to the author’s point of view, described in their own words, of course, the content of the article, the key part also need to mention. For example, the core support point of the author’s opinion is this paragraph, which we also need to summarize in our own words to support our own opinion.

In many cases, in the face of a strange article, there is no way to fully understand the meaning of each word, we need to rely on the writing structure, find the author’s point of view, so that it will be more convenient to summarize. For example,the first paragraph of the American writing style is usually composed of hook, background, thesis and other parts, so it is much more convenient to read and summarize.

I searched the official website of the school library for articles on diet health and found an article about my research problem. The article is called “Biochemical profile, eating habits, and telomere length among Brazilian children and adolescents“. This study focused on the effects of diet on people.Although the subjects in the study were Brazilian children, the nature of the problem was the same. The first thing to look at is telomeres, which are found in any human being, so it’s worth referring to the authors. The author mentioned in the article:“Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures composed primarily of TTAGGG tandem repeats that protect the end of chromosomes maintaining the stability of the genome. They become shorter in each cell division and decline with age.”（Todendi,ef.al,page1） That means we have telomeres from birth, and every time a cell divides, we use up telomere length, which is why we die. So what does this have to do with eating habits? Of course it does. Unhealthy eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles lead directly to shorter telomere length, which means it’s a vital part of life. And antioxidant-rich diet CARDS can help keep telomeres intact, thereby slowing aging.

In other words, healthy eating habits can slow down aging, but unhealthy eating habits can even harm life. There are a lot of research data in this article to prove the accuracy of this conclusion, so the content of this article can support my research point of view. My research questions are mainly about the impact of unhealthy living habits, among which I am most convinced that the researchers’ statistics are very detailed. That gives me a lot of confidence in the results.

In the first week, I learned a lot of new rules about the English 105 course, among which I think the most important rule is that infertility is allowed to use mobile phones in class. Using a cell phone during class can be a distraction. But in one case, teachers were allowed to use their phones if they asked for. Besides, I think there are three kinds of rules in class: before class, during class and after class. Before class begins, students should complete tasks that are required, such as assignments from the previous class, or chapters need to read. Of course, you also need to attend classes on time. Missing more than two classes will lower your overall grade. In class, the most important thing is to listen to the teacher carefully and actively communicate with classmates in English. If you are otherwise good but shy about communicating, you may not be able to successfully complete the course. After class, you need to finish your homework carefully. Do not cheat or use an electronic dictionary to translate your assignment, or you will be given a zero. Although late assignments are allowed under the rules, late assignments are strongly discouraged.

In short, English 105 has many different rules than pie. If you want to finish this course well, you need to follow the rules. One of the criteria for the successful completion of this course is the final total score. The first grade required is above c. If the final total score is 69.99%, it is also impossible to complete this course. Of course, I think it is the completion of the project that determines the final score. If every project is not completed well, then it is doomed to fail the course. The final total score or by the usual results of the accumulation.
