How to decrease gun violence happened rate in the New Mexico state. To solve this problem, we should try to let adults change inherent thinking and pay attention to children’s ideological education. To achieve this goal, we need legislation and educations. New Mexico State is a state that allows open carry, which should get change. And for children’s ideological education, we need more counselors to teach them and ensure that the children understand the dangers of the gun and understand that imitating certain behaviors is very dangerous, telling them to solve disputes peacefully without resorting to violence.

 

I think the Variety of tone (enthusiasm, confidence, and engagement throughout) and Gestures and body movements that flow naturally and expressively should be very useful. Since this is a huge plan, and my task here is to persuade my audience. I must be confident. If I do not feel confident, it means like even the speaker does not trust it can work, which they will not try to listen whether you are logical or not in your article. They just believe it does not work. In this way, I think only with the variety of tone and gestures movements, our audience will think about whether it will work, and we will have a chance to use the evidence to persuade them.

In the reading of Zhao MeiJing’s discussion. I found we both have the same thinking on how African Americans were treated during a tough time. Although the author tries to let his teacher treat him in the same role as other students, both think. He was still seen as a troublemaker. The teacher deliberately makes things difficult for the author, does not take care of the author’s feelings, and indirectly mocked him for not having a father. This lets me know that Racism is a huge problem, and excessive racism will bring children many adverse effects and shadows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most significant historical event that has positively shaped the future of your country and people is the Yuan Longping invented hybrid rice. Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, has helped China work a great wonder — feeding nearly one-fifth of the world’s population with less than 9 percent of its total land and lets them become sufficient labor which accelerates the development and progress of society.

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, has helped China work a great wonder — feeding nearly one-fifth of the world’s population with less than 9 percent of the world’s total land. Although China has no longer been influenced by food shortages right now, it still can help china get more food, and used saved the Chinese people from starvation during a tough time.
Hybrid rice recorded an annual yield about 20 percent higher than that of conventional rice strains– meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year. Now its accumulated planting area in China has exceeded 16 million hectares, with the total grain output 658 billion kg in 2018, a nearly fivefold increase from that of 1949.”China has a large population but little arable land, the only way for us to guarantee our national food security is to increase crop yield,” Yuan Longping said.
I think this brings huge progress to China. Although I do not experience that tough time, I heard from my parents that when they were young as a student, they always are affected by starvation. Also, they need to help the family take a lot of farming after they get back from school. People are struggling and plenty of food is a great problem for most people. Although these years China developed very quickly, I think it has a great relationship with hybrid rice. As we know, China has a great amount of a number of people, people need to solve the hunger problem first and then they can thinking about other problems. In this way, hybrid rice brings enough food for Chinese people and lets them become sufficient labor which accelerates the development and progress of society.

The first response I read is JIESHI’s response. In her response, she mentions that when you are speaking, you should consider your dress, try to fit the venue’s requirements, don’t dress too casually, and be easy to move. Take a good rest before you give your speech to make sure you have enough energy. Although I did not mention this point, I do think this point is important. It’s important to be prepared for your speech. Generally, You have to know what they want to hear and what you will talk about. In this way, your first image does bring a lot of works. As we are trying to persuade others who we do not know a lot. In this way, if you dressed, that does not fit the requirements of the venue. Your audience will become harder to trust you as they may have a first image that you did not meet the states that you should be.

First, I do not deal with my intersection very well and do not have good in-text citations which some of them are not that clear. Also for my references is not fit with the APA form, this is my biggest mistake. In this way, next time I should pay more attention to these parts. Especially, pay attention to the quote part.

In the discussion, I found both of us think the main argument of this essay is we should advocates for space for the children of multiethnic families that allow them to embrace aspects of each of their home cultures rather than denying one in favor of another. For ZhihengWang, he shares his best friends’ experience to provide this point that the people suddenly get in to a new environment it will bring a huge challenge. For Ruki, he has a better ability to adapt to the environment,so he do not have such experience.

Recently, the Chinese Sports Association once again advocated using physical fitness test results to determine the number of selected players. In a national swimming championship, two “new record-makers” were disqualified for the final due to poor physical performance. Even in the newly launched Chess Division A, many middle-aged veterans also need physical fitness tests. All athletes must participate in a two-day physical fitness test before the official start of the event, which includes a 3000-meter run, a 30-meter sprint, vertical jump, pull-ups, and trunk core strength. Only the top 16 athletes in the preliminaries and the top 8 athletes in the physical test can enter the finals. I think it is very wrong to use the data of the physical fitness tests as the decisive factor for judging whether an athlete is good. For example, the famous sprinter Su Bingtian said, “3000 meters belong to slow aerobic exercise. Sprinters focus on strength and explosive power training. If you train too much for long-distance running, fast muscles will become slow muscles and affect our explosive power. It is recommended that we focus too much energy on this.” This forced promotion and vicious shortcoming behavior are very unfavorable for athletes to challenge the limit in their field of expertise.

According to Malá, Zuzana, the author points some reasons why Japanese try to accept those regions in mountains, which is to get the benefit from these challenges. He mentions that the bodily experience of the participant described above relates to the idea of hardship, which is an intrinsic trait of shugyō. The eradication or marginalization of hardships and dangers has been seen as the allure of the pilgrimage by some authors (Reader, 2014: 98). Indeed, such a development might be observed from the macro-level point of view, and the case of Tateyama illustrates such a tendency. Yet, my observation of shugyō practices suggests that people are interested in certain bodily engagements in religious practices, which are dangerous or hard. ( P119, 2019, Malá, Zuzana)
