張鳳羚 Homework 5 （u1587 3G)

The creative person I think is Leonardo da Vinci.
He was a Tuscan polymath: scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician, poet, and writer.
Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man" or universal genius, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention.
He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
It is primarily as a painter that Leonardo was and is renowned.
Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time, their fame approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam.
Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also iconic.
Perhaps fifteen paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination.
Nevertheless these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists only rivalled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.
As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualising a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics.
Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire entered the world of manufacturing unheralded.
As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

I have never heard of the Bluemen before.
The way they perform is quite interesting.
Actually, their blue head immediate got my attention at the moment I saw them.
It made me want to know what are they doing.

Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?

We all live on earth.
Maybe we will live on another planet one day,
but it won't come true recently.
The world is big,
but many inventions shorten the distance between people,
such as the digital satellite system, TV, and the internet.
I use internet to read news everyday,
so that I can know what things happen on earth.
My friends and I sometimes discuss about the news and exchange each other's viewpoint.
And I also chat with people from different countries on the internet.
Thus, I think I am a global citizen.
I do connect my life with the world!

B. How can you become a better global citizen?

As a student, hardly can I make huge contribution to the world,
But I'll try to do my best.
I will start with changing the small details in my life,
such as don't use wood chopsticks, using reprocessed paper, and so on.
No matter how small my action would affect the world,
I will continue doing things I can do.
I wish that we can have a healthy world
Let's do something for the global !

張鳳羚 u1587 Homework 3

I think my English level can be categorized to B2 or C1.
It's hard to exactly define which level I really belong to.
Most of the time I can express my self in English quite clearly,
and people can understand my word.
I'm not afraid of speaking English.
I guess that's because most of my English teachers are foreigners.
Well,I hope my English would be better and better in the future.
Maybe one day I can speak English just like people whose mother language are English.
I'm looking forward for that day.

張鳳羚-My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year

I always set some goals at the beginning of a new year , but seldom did I really achieve those goals. To say is always much easier than to do something. Since I’m a college student right now , I wish that I can really finish my plan.
I attend a school club called AIESEC. It’s a international organization. The members of it spread over the world . Students there are quite eloquent , I hope I can also be like them. I have already taken some of their classes . I want to become one of their organizers and play an important role in some activities.
I am a cadre in my class now. I’m still thinking about what can I do for this class. I have compassion. I want to contribute to my class. There are 101 students in my department. I have not get to know all of them. I wish that I can be a good friend of everyone. I believe that we will have a lot of good time in the future.
