2R Computer Literacy Assignment - 29/10/07

Today I went to the iGoogle.com and signed in for my own account. I add some tools in my page, well, they're not tools at all. Many of them are just games, jokes or even some fortune-telling games. I like fortune-telling very much. Although sometimes they are not true (but there are times that they are right!). I also add my favourite game, "Pac-man". It is a game to let the yellow mouth eat up all the yellow dots in the screen, but you'll need to avoid the monsters!
After I add the "tools", I changed the skin of my iGoogle page. It's wonderful. I've also learn about vowels, although they are boring. :]

Three words:
-fake
-mite
-face

"Fake" is a long sound.
"Mite" is a long sound.
"Face" is also a long sound.

2R Computer lesson

I used widgetbox.com to find this widget. At first, I try to search for "simpsons" and there are lots of results, its great, but there is only a few results is related to the things I want to find. So, I choose the second one, which is the one on the top of this page, the boy, Bart writing the blackboard. It's a very funny picture. I put it on my blog. I change a little bit of the size, because the original one is too big for my blog. I tried many times, and I finally finished it. Then, I pressed "get widget" and I get it.

This is the three things that I can change on the widget.

Online recipe dish

Frosting
I think this word mean: a layer of coldness sugar in liquid form to add some favor to cakes.
I use contextual analysis and phonemic analysis to guess the meaning.
I choose this word because it is a basic material/ingredient that will be use on desserts. It is useful to us for understanding when we read the English recipes.

Flickr photo assignment

The pictures of this slideshow is find in Yahoo. I found them by using the keyword "desserts" and "desserts". I make this slide show with slide.com, after I sign in, I uploaded the photos and choose some skins. Then, I've done it!

Flickr photo assignment

I went to Google and searched the keyword, "mickey". There are many results, over one hundred and even thousands. At last, I chose this one because it is in black and white. I like black and white pictures very much.

Comments
Meaning: a statement that expresses a personal opinion or belief or adds information.
The reason I choose this word: I choose this word because nowadays many blogs, online photo albums and even video contains a place for people leaving their own opinions(comments). I think everyone should know it, shouldn't they?

Picky eaters

Maybe there are many picky eaters in Hong Kong. It's because there are many "fussy parents eaters" in nowadays. And their children will become fussy eaters, like them. And when the children become grown-ups, they have their own children and their children become fussy eaters. Again and again, there will be more and more fussy eaters. Or maybe one day, all of the human in the world will become picky eaters too.

I think all of us should try to accept the food we hate to eat. It's because there are different kinds of nutritions in every kind of food. They are good for our body. If we don't get enough nutritions, we will be unhealthy of even sick.

It's hard to say I am or ain't a picky eater. I don't like eating cucumbers. But sometimes, when I was very hungry, I will eat them. Or just only there's nothing to eat, but I'm very hungry, so I find this horrible food to eat.

Vocabulary

Things that are valuable
1. natural wonders
2. copper
3. crown

A computer lesson video

This video is the view of Mr. Woo's flat. I choose it because I would like to see where do Mr. Woo live in!

Studio
Meaning: A workplace consisting of a room or building where movies or television shows or radio programs are produced and recorded
The reason I choose this word: It is because we are learning videos this lesson. Most videos or movies are come from studio. I think all of us should know about it.

The seven wonders in the world

The word I choose: ceremonial
The reason I choose this word: It is because in the paragraph of "Machu Picchu", it said that the experts didn't know why the ancient people built this wonder. They estimate that it was built for some "ceremonial reasons". Maybe that is a real reason too. So, this word is important too.
I think the meaning of this word is: A kind of big event that everybody in the country or city should join it.

A wonder in Hong Kong

If I'm going to choose the ninth wonder in Hong Kong, I'll choose the Tsing Ma Bridge. It was built to connect Ma Wan Island and Tsing Yi Island. It is the largest suspension bridge with two decks in the world. The two decks are separately for the cars and MTR rails. Also, the bridge is the sixth longest suspension bridge in the world too.

I choose this because it is one of the most important tourist sight in Hong Kong. The government has also built a viewing platform for the tourists for sightseeing the bridge. There is no way for people to walk on the bridge. That's a little bit pity. In fact, we can walk on the bridge too. When Hong Kong is having some Marathon races, the bridge will open as a competition arena. It's a wonderful bridge, isn't it?
