When I had somehow certain doubt about if it is worth to go to Writing Center once a week. Because I was a little confused what is gonna going on. How much my tutor can help me. This concern disappeared as soon as I walked into that Writing Center office.
My tutor Katie is so nice and kind, She walk toward me, said “I am your tutor, now let me take you go our offices, you can choose any office you like just depends which one you like. Then I chose the left one. I took out my peer letter instruction showed it to my tutor. I told her this was my first time to write a peer letter, I didn’t know how to construct a peer letter. I even didn’t know what point I need refer.
My tutor explained immediately, “it is a letter, so first of all you need address ‘Dear…’,then just tell what information you got from his essay, such as what is the thesis, main ideas in every support paragraphs. Try telling you feeling about his essay. You also can tell him which part you like most. You even can ask some questions that affect your understanding of essay or interest you.”After I heard this, I became much clearer about peer letter. I know what I should do in this peer letter.
Anyway I just wanna say my first meeting with my tutor is successful. I believe my tutor will help me a lot about my writing ability

Some Thinking about Texting
Some thinking about Text
Texting already became an important part of communicating in daily life. Its good points are fast, in time, easy, cheap than making a call, people having fun to play around their phones. However, in my opinion, I still can tell some bad points about texting, such as reducing the intimacy, too fast to say some words in your heart, misunderstanding .
People can establish a connection with anyone else by shorthand so easily, and anything can be dealt by texting .Otherwise a real talk that needs an appointment, a certain place, a specific time and so on. Sometime real face-to –face communication can bring certain inevitable awkward or intimacy.
It seems like there is no reason to have a real face- to- face talk. People appreciate this simple way to communicate. I think people ignore a real face-to face talk is an emotion communication. Developing people’s emotion need feel each other’s existence through hearing the voice, looking at each other for real. For example, Chinese parents are eager to see their kids during some Chinese Spring Festival .But some daughters or sons choose travel with their wife or husband in festival, because it is a good time to travel around. They just send their parents text messages, says:”Happy Spring Festival”. I think they don’t mind this, but they do miss their kids, they wanna see them, talk to them about life or work. So texting make parents hard to see their kids in festival.
Texting is no doubt fast, but it is too fast to tell real words in people minds. People like simple stuff, they try to make text simpler than it is supposed to be, like “see you” u can type:”cy”. The text receiver can understand it for sure, but do they really feel something that is deeper than its word. It isn’t text receiver’s fault, because the text sender didn’t tell something in his mind emotionally.
Simple texting also causes misunderstanding to a thing. For example, a young couple argued earlier. They are texting each other, debating whose fault or something. Due to the simple texting without voice, either one only can imagine another’s thinking. Misunderstanding is inevitable. That is gonna make the argument worse.
Texting is such a fast way to find anyone you wanna connect. But it has some bad points still. People can go ahead to text if they are in a hurry. However people can’t depend on text all the time. They should sit before their family or friends ,having a real talk.
