Long term memory is a giant store like a file in computers.
There is two types memory.

3. Serial - positions effect : The part helps to remember continually.
4. Similarities & Differences : It's better to remember somethings when we copare and contrast than before.
* Opinions
These video are helpful to remember because It can be applied from my situations. I also use the ways to remember taking lessons. I think, it should be training several times, it does not learn just one time. Then, I agree that the episodic memory is useful than others. Pesonal experiences are usually linger long in our life. If I was fece new things, it's hard to remember that. However, If I recall and relate old things with new things, it will be combined each other, so we could remember easily. My own notetaking practice is not special which is simillar with 4 ways to help long term retrieval. I like to sit front of a plafform because I could contrate much. Also I like to ask something what I didn't understand after class. After that, I take a memo, and I try to fine the fact in my home. This way is help to remember for a long time, so I can recall the memory when I take a test about that.

Week 5 - Task 2 : Movie

* 21 - Twenty One ! : D
"Winner Winner Chicken Denner!"
This movie is the MIT student story who take a gambling in Vegas. Ven will graduate MIT and entrance into HARVARD who is also a genius of methmetic. The miki proffesor want to him for enterning his black jack team. Ven needs to $30million to enter HARVARD, so he can't reject his proposal. The Miki knows the bline of black jack who is a reader of the team. He selects genuis in MIT. Also, he train the people for wining games which is the seceret records and counting skills. The skills can predict the card which receive next time and predict their the percentage of victories. Moreover, they disguise themselves and make a fake ID. On every weekend, they learn a lot of money from black jack game. However, one casino's worker who controls the card counting skill, senses thiers skill, so he checks a vedio that record a face. At next times, Ven is arrested by worker in the casino and was striken, and gets a deal with the worker. He cheats Miki because the professor also cheats him about money. Miki acually doesn't do anything, and he just gets a money for his students. Finally, Vet brings Miki to casino worker, and he will not play black jack again.
* My opinion :D
Ven gets a lot of money and enjoys the driking from games, but he actually doesn't get happiness. When he lost a lot of money for an entrance fee, he lost his friends also because he forgets a lot of promises with friends, so they will fail the contest. They were one team with Ven, but they don't want to join with him. Finally, when Ven come back school, his friends attend the lobots contest and get a prize without him. Also, he realizes about money. When he gets tens of thousands dollars, he can buy many things such as a expansive shoes, bags and neck ling for his girlfriend. However, he finally lose important thins than before. I also want to get a lot of money from lotteries of games. It's cearlly true that money is necessary to live and to enjoy, but it is not the whole to me and it will sometimes be sweet posion, so I realize that I have to keep the most imfortant things such as family and friends. I like to learn something through a seeing movies.

Week 5 - Task 1 - New York Times

http://video.nytimes.com/video/2009/07/27/business/1247463664661/obama-discusses-u-s-china-trade-issues.html?scp=1&sq=obama%20china&st=cse
Obama Discussion U.S.- China Trade Issues
Obama wanted to contrast and conprehesiveable relationship with china. He thought that the contrast is imfortant relationship and vote to the china trade dialogue. This trade can learn the new things from old people. The U.S. invested to China. John is a productor to relate U.S. and China. The two nations' condition will demonstrated by each other's helping. Obama said the trade which is the simbol that make a world shape continuedly and the Boston and Bazing will be the most impotant city.
This goal is that ficnancal work make creatively, and the U.S. will rise up saving rates and China will be spend a lot of money, so two country can put growth sustainable foundations. He asserted that the clean power can avoid the warming grobal. The China will be enormous to get a market for a goods. He predicted that trade will shape at 24 centry and more imfortant as any relationship. The partnership is responsibility together, and economy will be more extreme popular. Also, the trade can share the mutral interset to recovered economy. The NY, Seattle and shaghai will get corportions deeply and agreements ambitiously.
Second, He worried about the clean energy in the futher. The gas make chaging climate, so we have to trasfer energys for economy. At these days, almost works increas to open the market and make new idea and source to make new energy.
Third, He said about interest because he respected the newclear study. He asserted that the energy have to move and require something for balance.
* My opinion
Many nation want to make relationship to develop together. I think that a kind of trade will be imfortant in the futher because one nation's abilites are limited, so we have to try to get a relationship. Obama prefers to get new things for U.S. I also get the same opinion with him. The American usually spend a lot of money, so they have to try to save thiers. Otherwise, the Chinese usually don't like spend money than saving money. Therefore, the U.S try to make interest, the China circulate thier money to get a due balaces. The U.S and China are most strong nation in the world. If two nation get a relation for economy and enviroment, it will be great things to each other and the world.

All about me!

Hi. Everyone! :)
My name is Nam Eui Lee. You can call me "JUDY". I was born on 1985 and my hometowm is Seoul City in Korea. I have parents, old brother and youger sister.
I'm a senior and leave one semaster of my university in Korea. My major is a Korea Language Education, so I like to study about Korea Language. I am going to go back to Korea this August to graduate my university. If I graduate in this winter, I will take the examination for the license of school teachers. To be a high school or middle school teacher I have to take this test which contains English skill, so the reason why I came here is improve my English skill.
I'm attending Seattel Central Community College now. I want to be a native speaker with English that is my goal. I like a hang around and talk with my friends, so they usually say that I look like a comedian who usually say loudly, quickly and funny about all of the somethigs. I think I'm not a big mouth, but sometimes my chatter can distractive someone from studying. It is real, but I will try to control myself in this class absolutly. :)My favorite website is http://www.king5.com/
If I want to know about today weather in seattle, I can search about that. I can prepare a umbrella. This city is usually rain, so the web site is most important to know about whether. Also, some article helps to understand a new event in Seattle. It is good for me to impove the reading and listening skill.
I usually take a cheerful view of life, so I try to get a an affirmative concept. Even though I was driven to the wall, I didn't loss of hear easily. I think most imfortant thing is a mind control myself with a positive mind. Sometimes I have a hard time to live in abroad without my parents, but it teach me about live alone. Therefore, if I try to have a modest attitude to live, eveything will be fine in my mind. I want to get some lesson during the live, and I should take this lesson to my heart.
