In Cassie Kai’s response to today’s topic, she mainly talked about how the essay express and how the real situation of education was back in time in China, and the two were very similar. I did not mention much about education in my response, but I have noticed that education played a big role in the online essay. However, it is similar that we all expressed that what we liked about the essay was the historical events and situations, but her response talked about specifically education.

In Maurica Young’s response, I found it very similar to my response; we both liked how Pengfei talked about his personal experience through the entire essay.

Oct 25 Verb Tense

Activity 1:

For a long time, my stepson, Jonathan, was unhappy to have me as a part of his family for resenting that he didn’t have both biological parents at home. I tried to get to know him better, but he would complain that I invade his privacy. As a newcomer, I understand that our relationship will require effort from both of us. It is not enough that I am friendly. Jonathan also has to want us to be friends, and I was not happy with the two of us being strangers, but I can wait for him to feel more comfortable around me.

Activity 2:

Anne Marie collects antique bottles and loves to turn them into works of art. She will buy bottles if she likes them, but she prefers to find them on the ground. She finds bottles everywhere, but she picks them selectively. However, she has the best luck at construction sites on old farmland, where she spent most of her time. Often, bottles appear on the surface after a good rain, but they disappear very soon. She would use special tools for excavating bottles, such as a set of brushes. She does not want to break the bottles as she removes them from the ground. After finding a new bottle, Anne Marie would add it to her display case and hung on the wall as an artistic piece (Mangelsdorf, 2013, p. 411).
