Today we did our last peer review in class. Everybody got to review more than one person's paper. I read two, one of them is relatively well written and the other is a less organized rough draft. But I did learn things from both of them, because there were already other people's notes on them. While I read the research paper, I also read the comments it got, from details like punctuation to main structure, and I found it very helpful to improve my own writing by reading them, because many of us had the similar mistakes.
Tomorrow I'm going to the writing center to get my paper revised. I hope I can get some more targeted advice.

final project presentation
This week in class I did my final project presentation. I made a powepoint slide show and talked about what I was writing in my essay. My topic is cell phone in modern society, and I didn't focus on the technology part, instead I made a summary of the influence cell phone brought us.
Personally, I think Pat's presentation today about alcoholism in college is very interesting. That's because young people are not allowed to drink alcohol before 21 in America, but there are no such rules in China, and yet alcohol seems to be a bigger problem among American college students. This may be an example of "good intentions bring bad results", and should remind people to reconsider the rationality of the prohibition of alcohol.
