I think the most important qualification to be a teacher is a ability to get close to students. First, if they have the ability, they are easy to give knowledge for students. Once students get close to teachers, they give no prejudce about what teacher says, and teachers are easy to control students. Also, they can showw them good example of person in society. Nowadays, the ability of getting close to other people is importnat, so students will get a chance to learn it by teachers who have the ability.

Now these are being used all, because of industrial things, and need something to remove it and use in the future. Also, it is more useful.

I prefer to use Internet and newspaper rather than to watch television. First, we can know other people's ideas. When we look at television, we can see the ideas of just one side, but if we look at Internet, there are many disagreements and agreements with the thing, so we can look at other side's people's ideas. Also, we can look at other related things. Television is limited-time, and we can look at other related things, but Internet is wider than television

Between two possible solutions that to go hiking there Sunday to the waterfall or visit art museum at the bus route, I think it is better to go hiking there Sunday to water fall, because even though it gets cold, your mind will get refreshed, because of strong cold you'll get. And also, it is better than art museum, because you'll not get any other disturbance if you go hiking to waterfall.

The topic of the lecture is about how children learn things. There are two problems, while we teach children. First, they generalize things. For example, there was a children asking for her mom about what horses are called. After some time, when the children saw a four-legged animal, she might call this also horse. Because the children generalize that all the four legged animals are called horses. Also, they specialize things too much. The professor's daughter got present from her father, and asked what it is called and he answered, "it is a doll." When her also gave gift for her, a doll, the daughter didn't believed it is a doll, because she specialized the only doll is what she has.

Once I had to ask my sister for help studying for a big test. We didn't use to get along well, but I really needed some assistance. She's much better at math than me, so I wanted her to explain how to solve some problems. Asking her for help was difficult, but when I did, she didn't just help me learn how to solve the problem, but she also helped me understand the fundamental logic behind the question. Additionally, my sister graduated from the same school that I go to, so she had already taken this same class. Because of this, she was familiar with how to solve the problems, so she was able to assist me rather easily. Thanks for her help, I got good grade on the exam.
