Celebrities: Our Walking Ads: Trifecta! - 3 views

  •   I promise to be blunt and to be honest.  Hey, I’m already out of the closet with the most embarrassing secret: Hi I’m "Ok!", and I’m addicted to gossip blogs.
  • And it has also convinced me not to go out and do yoga with my boobs hanging out right after those surgeries in order to make money to pay for them.

The Weight of Reality: Trifecta - 1 views

  • When young people were asked about their reasons for dieting, they cited the celebrities that they saw in television shows. Since this study the amount of advertisements for weight loss supplements, diet programs, and thin women on television has only increased.
  • (I’m as guilty as anyone in indulging in these reality TV shows),
  • We make pledges to lose weight, to exercise, to eat healthy, but it is so much easier to go to the drive thru, to sit on the couch, and to avoid the scale.

Is Google Making Us Stupid? - Magazine - The Atlantic - Nicholas Carr - 11 views

  • It almost seems that they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      This is very true. I was also feeling this way. People is trying to avoid reading in traditional way. They only want to absorb informations that are simple, easy, and fast. It was like they are getting lazy and lazy over time.
  • When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information.”
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      This "mere decoders of information" is so true! Since decoding information is to understand, break down, and interpret sets of communication and infromation in our brain clearly, reading online is trying to jump this process really fast.
  • It’s becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, our calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      I cannot argue a single word in this sentence. Internet and computer is not becoming, it is our part of life.

Food Adventures: February 2010 - 1 views

  • especially in the pastry
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      Very clever additional detailed information. The readers are able to identify David Lebovitz not just a expertize in culinary but actually an expertise in pastry
  • Mr. Lebovitz straightforwardly—in a non-straightforward kind of way—retells his adventures in Paris,
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      With this sentence... actually I had to think a little bit. This sentence is saying like: He was going West but in an East kind of way? But after saying the word "retells" it gave me a clear idea that Mr. Lebovitz was playing with his stories in a humorous and back-to-the-point manner.
  • (by the way, my French improved remarkably after reading this post and his blog in general).
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      This particual sentence drags the reader to read Lebovitz article. She is engaging the reader to be excited. I would also want to learn French if I can.

  • spontaneous nature
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      Very good choice of words! these two simple words describe the actual intentions of Mr. Lebovitz.

Politics: the biggest problem in education | dougbelshaw.com/blog - 0 views

  • Education, on the other hand, is a very party political matter with endless tinkering of the system to attempt to win the support of middle-class voters.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      He is using an interesting analogy contrasting with education and politics. The "endless tikering" best describes the useless effort that EDUCATION is doing with society, students, and teachers. Obviously the author is critizising.
  • I’m a believer in government being as small as possible: whilst the state needs to intervene in the ‘big picture’ of education, I think there are other organizations and bodies eminently more suitable to deal with assessment and examinations, for example.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      "I am a believer" Why would he wrote this instead of I believe? I think he is actually trying to enphasize the speaking method of Martin Luther King: "I have a dream." Or he wants to be in a very specific part of a group segment: believers.
  • the new rules allowed my parents to take me out of the local, very poor, middle school (at my request) and install me at a much better school.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      Although he is talking about good things of the system the phrases "very poor" and "at my request" are indirectly that the author is not really considering a good thing.

  • I’m certainly against the endless analogies and comparisons of schools to businesses. Educating children is not like making products to sell at a profit.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      In these sentences, he is standing very strong his point of view. His phrasing, diction, and personal opinion is highlighted clearly.
  • Although I’ve been accused of it for the first time today, I’m not one for manipulating others and playing politics within my organization. Not at all: I’m there to make things better for the system – locally, nationally and internationally.
    • Dongoh Kim
       
      The phrase "Not at all" again he is standing his point very clearly. He is rejecting strongly what others would be thinking of him. Very clever. Moreover, he bolds his main sentence backing up his earlier phrase: "Not at all"
