  i have always been troubled by different wires for my electronic devices , i got my cell phone , my laptop, the morden , the internet cable ,  the mouse , so many wires go though each other and sometimes tangle up , making my desk a really unpleasent place to work. the other day i went down to one of my friends' room chilling. however , the way he use clips truely impress me.

he uses this kind of ordinary clips 

then , he make them work like this




     this is super convenient and useful , you could arrange all those wires in a certain position so that they won't bounce everywhere and make the desk a mess. plus, this is easy to make , just clamp your clips (you could find them everywhere , i bet you will have it on you desk now) on the edge of table and everything will be set.
   i'm using it now and it's super neat.  from this experience i see there are a lot of unexpected functions i could dig out from ordinary things like a clip. don't be restricted by means normal person takes. there are lot of we could do taking advantage of of innovation.

Using The Toulmin Model

since i arrived America , things don't work out as i thought, which really smash my dreams up instead of fun. it's not fun and easy to get alone, instead, more kind of hollow , obscure and hard. those first days are really a catastrophe.
my claim: i can adapt myself to this different life.

grounds: in fact, this days, i made friends with senior students, they seems to have been the same situations where i have been. but look at them now , they have their own  positions in this society and their life is happy. which prove that people can shift their behave due to the changing circumstance. and finally get along with things , taking control of your life.
 
warrant : we have been to the same situation, we talked about that, and we have the same background. some of them even were worse than me at that time . so , they can do it , why can't i ?

backing: the ability of adapting new things. i have moved to another city when i had my high school . they have different local language. however, i got used to it and made many friends. made things all right.

qualification: there are obstructions of language, when i was in my hometown , things as taking initiative and expand my network is easy for me . i feel i can control myself , however, here i feel , when conversation triggered , it's like my mouth is not mine. something i tried to express turn to things different and conversation gets awkward. however, i see if how those senior chinese student cope with this, using simple practice. be confident to express and take practice. those are real examples occured in front of my eyes.so practice more i beilieve things will get better.

the email i wrote to my professor

Subject: question about proficiency test


hi, professor Murphy.


   i'm a student from your class ,i have some quick problems for your suggestions.
   i feel the math 220 class is sort of easy for me , because i have studied all those basic theories and knew how to use them. so i 'm thinking about attending the proficiency test which is on oct.9th. if i could pass it , do you think i should continue to stay in your class or move to the upper level?
  Thanks for your time!

 i've got some good suggestions , he told me to decide it by my own feeling, if i feel i could totally cope with math220 , it's ok to take higher level class.

take initiatives

 my story happend on a special night. it's a prom held by CSSA chinese student social associtation. i was pretty dressed up with my fancy suit and head to the place with my firends . the party is fun and full of beautiful ladies dressed up. through the crowd i saw a beautiful lady fit my taste. however , i' a really kind of shy guy who will not take the first step to social  with somebody i meet for the first time. but  from what we learned , we have to take initiatives to expand our networking. i finally made up my mind and stepped on to her.
  i asked for a dance and she seemed kind of embarrassed (neither of us can actually dance). we have to try our best to follow the music and dance with it. it's kind of hard and awkward. so i started some topic with her like what's you major, something boring but normal people say when they meet for the first time.
 it turns out that she's a sophomore here and older than me . we sat down at chiars around the room began to talk.
  she tought me a lot of things like the campus safety and how she come over the tough first fremen year. as well some valuable suggestion . kind of feel pleased and comfort to have a beautiful lady expressing me some information and great stories about her. the awkwardness were gone and the atomsphere got warm and light.
i really learned a lot of useful information and some first-hand experience which i might have in this campus. really a good night!

the review at the missing basics

  As living in the constantly changing world , the flat world, it’s hard to accomplish great achievements just by applying the science which we obtained in class. The 21^st-century is full of innovation, power , and boosting technics. with the great internet, the frequency of changing could be more rapid. So , how do we be a great engineer in this age?

  We can not neglect the very importance of science, the basic rules of nature. But the science could not be applied and presented and successful without the missing basics.. science is just basic framework, there are lots of things going against textbook , this unpredictable property of reality require us to be more professional about how to solve questions in the real world, which is not going work without those missing basics.

   So, what is the missing basics? - The ability to ask , the ability to label , the ability to model, the ability to decompose, and the ability to measure, the ability to visualize, and the ability to communicate. Only to obtain those abilities, could we eventually totally apply what we have learned in class instead of knowing much but doing little.
