It also mentions the Sultan's Palace in Yogyakarta, the mountain town of Brastagi in North Sumatra known for hiking, and the volcanic Lake Kelimutu in Flores with its striking multi-colored lakes. Additionally, it provides an overview of traditional Indonesian foods like gudeg, pempek, batagor, and Padang rice that visitors should try, as well as shopping for batik cloth.
This documentary film about Dr. Wen uses an indirect style to tell the story of Wen's family life and his work as a doctor. Scenes from home videos show Wen's family but also suggest his sadness over the death of his son Felix. The shaky camera work aims to present events in a natural, unstaged way. The film compares Wen's late son Felix with another boy, Sebastian, highlighting their different fates - one choosing suicide, the other trying to survive. Through close-ups of Wen discussing Felix's death, the camera aims to convey Wen's intense emotions of sadness over his loss.
The document provides an analysis of the symbolism in the films Rashomon and The 400 Blows. In Rashomon, the heavy rain symbolizes the collapse of humanity throughout the film. The three characters represent different aspects of humanity based on Freud's structural psychology. In The 400 Blows, the recurring symbol of "imprisonment" represents how the main character feels restricted by his family and suppressed by society. Scenes of the character in narrow spaces highlight his lack of freedom. By the end, though he escapes, the film suggests that true freedom remains elusive.
The film Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) depicts the strong bond between a father and son in post-World War 2 Italy as they search for the father's stolen bicycle, which he needs for work. The film uses long shots and close-ups to emphasize the affection between them and the father's growing sense of helplessness. It provides a realistic and unembellished portrayal of the social and economic difficulties facing ordinary people at the time. While it doesn't rely on overt cinematic techniques, it uses camerawork and the actors' performances to convey strong emotions. The film criticizes aspects of the society that led to problems like poverty and wealth disparity.
1) The document discusses and compares several Chinese films, including "My Dad and Mom" which depicts a funeral procession in the snow, and emphasizes the sadness of the scene.
2) It notes how the film "Hero" uses different colors dramatically in each scene and was an expensive production, but discusses some ideological issues with the film.
3) The author prefers "My Dad and Mom" for its use of contrast between past and present, and its touching romance over the film "Keep Calm".
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Evaluation of Whole Project:
In the beginning of this semester, I just wanted to improve my English better and
study business English. However it’s amazing that I get more important thought in the
end.
I plan to study business English at first, and then I found that was not interesting to
me. At that time, Teacher Grace introduced the resource “American Rhetoric” in our
class. Being a senior student, I thought that I should use the material which doesn’t
come from the school because I hope after graduation I will still have the habit using
them. Another reason I choose “American Rhetoric” is there are lots of
commencement speeches. I want to know what kind of things the speakers would give
to Harvard or some greatest universities in the world. Obviously, this would be one of
the greatest choices I have ever made. I learned a lot of things from their speeches,
passion, failure, world,etc. They let me know that the most important is your attitude
toward the world, not your knowledge. I learned how to read a very long article
without a dictionary. I can really know what she/he said! Besides, I took 2 books and
they helped me a lot, too. Now I think I can see the world, not feeling afraid or
nervous all the time. We seldom have the time to do what we want to, I think the most
precious thing is I got the courage and passion to embrace the world.
During doing self-study, I changed my syllabus all the time. That sounds bad, but I
hope I can read the book not for English but for the message it wants to talk about. I
asked myself every day “Do I want to read it or not?” Then I chose the best resources
and did it. However, during the bad time, my mental problem came back to me. I had
to take the pill to control my brain and I couldn’t read even a word. What I did was to
turn on the CD, hoping my brain could touch a little massage from “Being Peace”.
Thich Nhat Hanh’s voice came to my heart. I used to be a person who liked to see the
sky or some street scenery and thought it’s beautiful. Thich Nhat Hanh reminded me
of it. And then I thought I couldn’t waste time living someone else’s life.
In the end, although this semester I think that I didn’t learn many materials, my
time management got something wrong. However, my learning journey won’t stop
for the graduation. Now I got the power which is named courage and passion to take
adventure of the world. English is not a barrier anymore!

I wrote my notes on the summary. And actually I read the entire article. It took me a
lot of time but Steven Jobs’s speech had so many famous quotes that I couldn’t
ignore them. I LOVE THESE QUOTES. In this semester, I have to find a job that would
5. be the first full-time job in my life. Sometimes I would wonder how I should choose.
Jobs told us the way to follow up. That’s really helpful and his speech skill is
fascinating. I replayed the speech more than 5 times. Finally I almost could listen to it
without subtitles or script.
However, I have no time to watch movies. I think I have to change my time
management.

commencement speech:
As well as :連接詞;介詞
Bono: It's true we were here before with U2 and I would like to thank them for
giving me a great life, as well as you.
(I’m not sure what “as well as” means here. I am waiting the answer from OWL)
John Mortimer : No brilliance is needed in the law. Nothing but common sense
and relatively clean fingernails.
From THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
Conspiracy
It’s a big conspiracy, and everyone’s in on it.
e.g.: It seems that you are in a terrible situation. I think it must be somebody’s
conspiracy.
Size someone up
Bogs sizes Andy up with a salacious gleam in his eye, mutters something to Rooster.
Rooster laughs.
e.g.: In Asia, parents always size their children up by score at school.
3. Reflection
This week, I only read and listened to a commencement speech which is from bono.
And I found that it was a little bit difficult to get the information. Bono gave a very
long speech, and it’s not like Jobs. Bono used many words to show what he wanted
to talk about. This gave me some trouble. The information was complicated. I had to
spend lots of time to get used to it, and then finally knew what’s going on. I’m sure
that the thing what he mentioned to us is important. However, truth be told, I have
no interest in listening to it again and again. This week I also shared the movie
“SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION” with my friends. It took me a lot of time, too because I
7. don’t understand jail’s culture. However, my schedule was delayed. I have to think of
some solutions. Maybe I should adjust my syllabus.

3. Reflection
You may choose to use either English or Chinese to write this part.
I found that I am very busy this semester, so I have to change my strategy of self-
paced learning. And this week, I learned something about the difference between
American English and British English, especially for the pronunciation. J.K. Rowling is
8. a British writer. I found that sometimes J.K. Rowling used some words that are
unusual in daily life. I think that’s because of her background. But when she said
some word like “obviously”, I heard a strong accent that is totally different from
Jobs’s or Bono’s or the movie stars in Hollywood. And then I heard a joke from my
friend about British accent. This is Famous Taiwan dancer 布拉瑞揚’s story in
London. He went to a restaurant to have a meal. The waiter asked him, ”Are you
dancer?” He was shocked why the waiter knew him! And then, he found the answer.
The waiter was not saying “Are you dancer?” but was “Are you done, sir?” This made
an impression on me. The pronunciation is so amazing around the world.

After learning some speeches from speakers, I think there’s some skill in their
speeches, such as the structure. So I borrowed a book and DVD named
“Your next speech 75 ways to improve it from library”. Then, I found the secret rules
the speakers often use from the book. For instance, in tips 9, it said that we should
use our own experience. According to commencement I learned these days, they
always give the audience their own experiences from their amazing life. They spoke
from the heart from these stories. (Tips 14) And most important is they know their
audiences. They choose the materials which attracted the graduates. And the words
in the speeches are not difficult. These help me to think about my interview. When I
need to speak in an interview, I should consider how to choose the materials, and
how to let the company size me up in a very short time.

This week, I got a trouble. “Scott” is the movie my friend recommends me to watch.
However, I can’t understand what it talks about. It’s funny but I think I don’t quite
understand the culture. So maybe I should watch it again next week. If I still do not
like it, then I plan to stop it.
The book “your next speech” is still keeping going. It tells me a lot of points I might
not notice. I think it’s interesting and I found that now I can read an article without a
dictionary even if there are some words I do not know.

computer would have them (fonts).” He is talking about his story, and the audiences
have the background knowledge with computer. Everyone knew that Jobs just had a

At the end of “your next speech 75 ways to improve it”, it talked about what you
should do or shouldn’t do before your speech. I think it’s quite useful especially
control those pesky butterflies. This is important to me.
Being peace:
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can blossom like a flower, everyone in
our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present
moment I know this is a wonderful moment.
3. Reflection
This week is breathing topic. (HAHA) Coincidentally, after finishing the speech book, I
began reading “Being Peace”. Then, “focus on breath” came to me again! When I
become nervous, I would speak very fast and forget lots of articles. That’s not a good
situation in speeches. I hope it does work when I give a speech especially in English
or job interview.

3. Reflection
You may choose to use either English or Chinese to write this part.
This is G.K Williams music introductions. I avoid reading English introduction before
even though I know that some translation might be wrong. Today’s notes are not
difficult. Being a self-paced learner, I think I have to challenge them. I found that if a
18. Chinese wrote the introduction, you could see the Chinese language thinking. But for
the native speaker, it looks totally different. And for me, I think this time I have a
good try because I have some background knowledge that can support me. Another
reason is that most of the music researches are written in English. Of course there’s
no translation version. I think I can try to search some information on websites which
are written in English and not to be afraid of it.
