[18:54] Ruby Lysios: strange experience
[18:54] Jessie Passerine: interesting experience~
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: haha
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: It holds the opinion that every significant issue should be determined by the residents instead of by the Lindex Laboratory.
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: ok, never mind
[18:54] Jessie Passerine: let's continue
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: is it Liden or Lindex?
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: Linden
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: let me check it later
[18:55] Susie223 Chun: I also forget, that's a spelling mistake
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: Protestor even attacked customers to prohibit the deal. At last, the owner of the mansion had to modify the script to stop the incident.
[18:55] Ding Atolia: i think the later part of your story is a little messy
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: should be protester
[18:55] Ding Atolia: you may divide it into several parts
[18:55] Susie223 Chun: I C
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: and maybe you should use plural
[18:56] Susie223 Chun: got it
[18:57] Susie223 Chun: anything else?
[18:58] Jessie Passerine: how does the reader see the story?
[18:58] Jessie Passerine: ding?

[19:00] Ding Atolia: the unique sides about SL's in terms of its culture
[19:00] Ding Atolia: it's my opinion
[19:00] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:00] Ruby Lysios: i want know people's reflection no matter in second life or reality
[19:01] Susie223 Chun: it's hard to say reflection in reality because lots of people even don't konw that this kind of issue can happen in SL
[19:02] Susie223 Chun: know,sorry
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: like we don't know
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: utill you write the news
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: ok~
[19:03] Susie223 Chun: So it's more like a introduction:)
[19:03] Susie223 Chun: a brief discription
[19:03] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:04] Susie223 Chun: because politics is a very complex issue,if you want to explain it clearly, 400 words are far from enough
[19:04] Susie223 Chun: what are you doing,ding?
[19:05] Ding Atolia: why am i flying

[19:10] Susie223 Chun: terrorists may take advantage of the game to handle funding, distribute radical ideas or expand their organizations
[19:10] Susie223 Chun: sorry
[19:11] Susie223 Chun: http://sonny5258.blogspot.com/2010/04/cannot-afford-house-in-real-life-buy.html
[19:11] Ding Atolia: it's a link
[19:11] Ding Atolia: sorry sonny5258.blogspot.com
[19:11] Ding Atolia: my story is so short...
[19:12] Jessie Passerine: i'll be the reader
[19:12] Ding Atolia: i want to focus on the good sides about the land issue in sl
[19:12] Ding Atolia: compared with reality
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: Many middle-class people who have worked fiercely for about 20 years get shocked when seeing their dreams of buying a new house breaking down
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: maybe break down?
[19:14] Ding Atolia: but i don't think I have expressed what I intended to say
[19:14] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:14] Ding Atolia: and i am really lacking in the background information about the land in sl
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: well , after reading the article. I think buying an house in second life does not actually helo the situation in reality
[19:15] Ding Atolia: so what are the aspects are you guys interested in land in sl or house?
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: it just offerred an escape temporaly
[19:15] Ding Atolia: haha good point
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: in reality you still cannot afford a house
[19:16] Ding Atolia: I think I can add it to my story
[19:16] Jessie Passerine: haha XD
[19:16] Ding Atolia: and change my focus
[19:16] Ding Atolia: not just the good sides but bojectively
[19:17] Ding Atolia: ruby
[19:17] Jessie Passerine: and the first time i saw the title, I thought it was an add from the game
[19:17] Ding Atolia: do you know more about the house building thing in sl?
[19:17] Susie223 Chun: haha
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: actually it's a good way to escape from reality
[19:18] Ruby Lysios: The past two decades has witnessed an ever-growing rate in the house price. i think the grammar is strange
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: not only buying houses or lands, but also the whole game
[19:19] Ruby Lysios: you might add the subject "we"
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: it's not strange, I think
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I think it's a sentence structure
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: because I once saw a similar grammar in a film

[19:24] Susie223 Chun: I want to try decoration in SL,XD
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yeah i think i need to search these kinds of information more
[19:24] Ding Atolia: and show them in my revision
[19:24] Ruby Lysios: and you could also kick out the person that you don't want
[19:25] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can interview some peole
[19:25] Ruby Lysios: become a master of the land
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[19:25] Ding Atolia: yeah someone who has owned one
[19:25] Ding Atolia: just like the guy we just met

[19:25] Jessie Passerine: so ding~ how to build a house?
[19:25] Ding Atolia: who drove away
[19:26] Susie223 Chun: it's not difficlut to find someone with excellent decoration
[19:26] Ding Atolia: i think he is really into his land though he is so rude...
[19:26] Ruby Lysios: maybe you could go shopping and buy some furniture
[19:26] Ding Atolia: sorry, J, i am not sure either
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i will search more
[19:27] Ding Atolia: is there a second-hand store in sl
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i mean second-hand stores haha there must be some
[19:28] Ding Atolia: so we can save money
[19:28] Susie223 Chun: yes ,there should be
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: but people may nor know if the thing is used
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: that makes no difference
[19:28] Jessie Passerine: ok~ your essay aroused my curiosity in buying and building houses in sl. maybe you can add it in your story
[19:29] Jessie Passerine: some further information
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: i expect to know too
[19:29] Ding Atolia: you mean in sl, we cannot check an object-whether it's new or old
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ?
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ok, I will do it
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: whether it's new or old makes no difference
[19:29] Susie223 Chun: yes, they are all virtual
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: people might not aware of that
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ooooooh
[19:30] Ding Atolia: so the second-hand stores are useless
[19:30] Ding Atolia: haha
[19:31] Ding Atolia: maybe we should call it throw-away stores-things other people don't want anymore but useful to other people
[19:31] Ding Atolia: not throw-away exactly haha
[19:32] Ruby Lysios: and maybe you could sell the things you do not want and make money
[19:32] Ding Atolia: yeah that's what I mean
[19:32] Ding Atolia: so all advice taken and i will make more efforts ha
[19:32] Susie223 Chun: I see your point

[19:51] Ruby Lysios: haha
[19:51] Ding Atolia: hhaha
[19:52] Jessie Passerine: I visit “The Trister gay bar” and find it is very incredible and surprising
[19:52] Jessie Passerine: in this setence , maybe past tense would be properer
[19:53] Ruby Lysios: ok~
[19:53] Ding Atolia: yeah
[19:53] Jessie Passerine: because it's something you have done
[19:53] Ding Atolia: use past tense to tell a past story-that's what i learned from my last TW story
[19:54] Ruby Lysios: so should i use past tense in all that paragraph?
[19:54] Ding Atolia: we have no choice but become and ask to behave like a man or woman
[19:54] Ding Atolia: and is asked to
[19:55] Ruby Lysios: ok

[19:56] Jessie Passerine: XD
[19:56] Susie223 Chun: I will be the reader this time
[19:57] Ding Atolia: the structure is not that well-ordered i think
[19:57] Ding Atolia: jumping from sl to reality
[19:57] Ding Atolia: i think after the introduction
[19:58] Ding Atolia: you can show your experience
[19:58] Ding Atolia: and then basing on the story to talk about more
[19:58] Ding Atolia: through comparison
[19:58] Ruby Lysios: ok~i will reorganise the news
[19:59] Ding Atolia: i am curious about one thing
[19:59] Jessie Passerine: this article is a general desciption of sex and also personal expience in second life . but I think that's not enough
[20:00] Ding Atolia: are all the people in sl really so open
[20:00] Jessie Passerine: while comparing feelings about virtual and reality
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: you mean the people in gay bar
[20:00] Ding Atolia: and there are no moral issue involved?
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: i think people become open because the environment
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: people would always be willing to know how different exactly it feels
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: like we might not be naked now
[20:01] Ding Atolia: oh, i see, interesting
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: you mean compare the gay bar people in virtual and real life?
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: maybe adding some other ppl's feelings about sex in sl will be better
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: for example
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: i could interview people in gay bar, but i'm a little shy
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: can they really get an organsm or something by doing it in sl?
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: yes!
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: go ahead and interview them~
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: they will have movement and get excited
[20:03] Ding Atolia: haha it's becoming more and more funny
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: just like watching porn
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: but you are the main character
[20:03] Jessie Passerine: wow~ that's propably what you can add in your story
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: i already add
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: i seems i should be brave and interview them
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: it
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: ask about their feeling?
[20:04] Jessie Passerine: yes~
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: why do they like to do it in sl

[20:05] Ruby Lysios: so
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: and what kind of sex do they prefer

[20:05] Jessie Passerine: XD
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: all kinds of sex could happen in sl, including sm
[20:06] Jessie Passerine: haha~ great~
[20:06] Ruby Lysios: ok! anything you are curious about, maybe i could ask, haha
[20:07] Jessie Passerine: prostitution!
[20:07] Jessie Passerine: are there any?

[20:08] Susie223 Chun: no
[20:08] Jessie Passerine: becuase it's easy to find someone to have sex with in sl
[20:09] Jessie Passerine: is prostitution an industry in sl?
[20:09] Ruby Lysios: i think it exists
[20:09] Ding Atolia: hahha

[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: phoebe
[20:12] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[20:12] Ruby Lysios: your news is related to mine, i think
[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: i want to teleport to other place

[20:12] Mi Shinn: be back at 11:30
[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: ok
[20:12] Ruby Lysios: having sex with people is also free and legal
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[20:13] Ding Atolia: Being at your high not only happens in real life, but virtual world.
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: hey
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: we talk there ok
[20:13] Ding Atolia: is there a phase "be at high"?
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i am not sure
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: hey
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i think just "be high" is ok
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: we haven't taken a pic
[20:14] Mi Shinn: yes
[20:14] Ruby Lysios: you have some spelling errors
[20:14] Mi Shinn: your group needs to post group pics and news titles on the class blog
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: why are they interested in taking drugs in SL?
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: I mean it makes no differences ,you can't feel anything
[20:14] Mi Shinn: for your last week's Sl discussion and this week's discussions
[20:15] Mi Shinn: just news titles and pics
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: i guess it it's an escape from real life
[20:15] Mi Shinn: you can post transcripts on your personal blogs
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: something you couldn't do in reality because we are supressed
[20:15] Mi Shinn: also email me the whole discussion transcripts
[20:16] Ruby Lysios: but you can do in sl and nobody will interfere you
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: it makes no difference whether you take drugs or just normal medicine
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: maybe that's one reason
[20:16] Jessie Passerine: maybe it's just out of curiosity towards drugs
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: let's make a pose
[20:16] Ding Atolia: routine
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: but charlotte's pose
[20:17] Phoebe Isenia: hahahahaha
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: yes!you could also interview people there like me
[20:17] Roxanne Kristan: fall asleep
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: our dialogue is mixed with others
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: haha~ok~
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: right
[20:17] Ding Atolia: Buying drugs in second life is legal and free, and the same thing goes with sex industry there, that is probably part of the reason why this game got popular.
[20:17] Susie223 Chun: I think you can interview some people who have taken drugs in SL
[20:18] Ding Atolia: the sentence is not grammatical
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: she is away
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: how to take pic
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: her face is down
[20:18] Susie223 Chun: ask them about why they took drugs and how did they feel
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: me too
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: i know how to take
[20:19] Ding Atolia: may be change "that" to "which"
[20:19] Phoebe Isenia: but i don't know how to make my face turn to the lence
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: ic~
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: thx
[20:20] Ding Atolia: the past tense and present tense are mixed
[20:20] Ruby Lysios: and i think some young users would feel curious in drugs and sex, but in real life they couldn't do that because of moral issues
[20:20] Ding Atolia: you may need to check that
[20:20] Jessie Passerine: ok
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: maybe some conservatives would say we should ban laws in sl!!!
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: just a joke
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: it is impossible
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: no way~
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: XD
[20:22] Ruby Lysios: if it is banned in the second life, then the third life game will come up
[20:22] Susie223 Chun: did drugs cause any problem in SL?
[20:23] Ruby Lysios: burglary? prostitue?
[20:23] Ding Atolia: haha
[20:23] Ding Atolia: prostitute again
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: maybe just go interview
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: i think it's very interesting
[20:25] Ruby Lysios: maybe i couls go with you, haha
[20:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:25] Susie223 Chun: yes,that could be attractive
[20:26] Ruby Lysios: five minutes left
[20:28] Ding Atolia: so I'm going to keep all our conversation and post it
[20:28] Ding Atolia: on our personal blog or?
[20:28] Ding Atolia: and email to the teacher
[20:28] Susie223 Chun: ok,THX
[20:28] Ruby Lysios: maybe we could ask the teacher later

[18:12] Roxanne Kristan: not that often
[18:12] Phoebe Isenia: and reply to Roxanne. but don't you think those T shirt vendors is included in "various street vendore"
[18:13] Ding Atolia: I agree with Judy, I think it's a nice story

[18:35] Phoebe Isenia: i'm not sure some of your grammar is ok or not. but for me i would chnge some grammar usages in your article

[18:36] Meimeiryo Littlebird: so the language used in this activity is all chinese?
[18:36] Phoebe Isenia: and i would like to delete the "the" in your first sentence~
[18:36] Ding Atolia: so for those foreigners who have taken part in the activity, what do they think of it? maybe you can add some
[18:37] Ding Atolia: about their gains
[18:37] Charlotte Mohegan: yes , only when the foriegners couldn't understand we would use some English to help them figure out
[18:37] Roxanne Kristan: they want money hahaha
[18:37] ko525252 Shelter: It seems meaningful
[18:37] Mi Shinn: meaningful?
[18:37] Roxanne Kristan: charlotte, maybe you can add this information
[18:37] Charlotte Mohegan: yes haha
[18:37] Ruby Lysios: so people could also practice speaking English!
[18:37] Mi Shinn: ko?
[18:37] Mi Shinn: what point is meaningful?
[18:38] ko525252 Shelter: yes?
[18:38] Roxanne Kristan: btw i like your Must Bring !!
[18:38] Charlotte Mohegan: ok because when they attend activities which is held by language center for ten times
[18:38] Charlotte Mohegan: they could get 1000NT
[18:38] Judy Meiler: yeah, I think you can also add some experience of the foreigners who participate in.
[18:38] Roxanne Kristan: that's great
[18:39] Mi Shinn: ko?
[18:39] Charlotte Mohegan: so maybe they're for money but also making friends, practicing Chinese
[18:39] Ruby Lysios: don't say that in the article, haha
[18:39] Mi Shinn: what you think about the first paragraph?
[18:39] Mi Shinn: ko?
[18:39] Meimeiryo Littlebird: wow!1000NT...that cool! i wish we have this kind of activity too
[18:39] Mi Shinn: Ko?
[18:40] Mi Shinn: the interest lead?
[18:40] Ruby Lysios: he falls asleep
[18:40] Judy Meiler: ha ha ha ha
[18:40] Mi Shinn: you are the only male in this class
[18:40] Ding Atolia: hahaha
[18:40] Meimeiryo Littlebird: he disappear!
[18:40] Meredith Rhosar: hahaha
[18:40] Ding Atolia: maybe he is stuck by his computer again
[18:40] Susie223 Chun: maybe there's something wrong with his computer
[18:41] Mi Shinn: summer romance?
[18:41] Mi Shinn: or survival skills?
[18:41] Mi Shinn: which attracts you more?
[18:42] Charlotte Mohegan: because some girls may like to have a foreign boyfriend
[18:42] Mi Shinn: Charlotte
[18:42] Charlotte Mohegan: why is survival skill?
[18:42] Ding Atolia: maybe language skill?
[18:43] Mi Shinn: Lisa is a student who holds this activity?
[18:43] Ding Atolia: or interpersonal skill?!
[18:43] Susie223 Chun: for foreginers,Chinese is a survival skill here ,I think
[18:43] Judy Meiler: i think the first paragraph is too long
[18:43] Charlotte Mohegan: yes Lisa su
[18:43] Meredith Rhosar: yes I think so...
[18:44] Mi Shinn: yes
[18:44] ko525252 Shelter: how to survive in the society~
[18:44] Charlotte Mohegan: ok u r back welcome
[18:44] Mi Shinn: it seems to me there are two focuses here
[18:44] Mi Shinn: in the first paragraph
[18:45] Charlotte Mohegan: yes?
[18:45] Mi Shinn: what is the interest lead?
[18:45] Judy Meiler: it's like the summer romance is more important or the Chinese practicing
[18:45] Meimeiryo Littlebird: maybe not that many questions in first paragraph?like we learn last week.
[18:45] Meimeiryo Littlebird: use interest lead instead of questions
[18:46] Mi Shinn: which one?
[18:46] Susie223 Chun: the two questions in the first paragraph make the activity unserious
[18:46] Lucky Board: This prize wasn't claimed... so let's try a new magic letter.
[18:46] Lucky Board: Next Prize: breeding coop
[18:46] Lucky Board: Looking for a winner whose name begins with.... E.
[18:46] Susie223 Chun: It seems that the participants join the activity just for some romace but not for practicing
[18:47] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yeah, i think focus on summer romance is not that suitable
[18:47] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe those adjectives attract most of you
[18:47] Mi Shinn: you have good supporting examples
[18:47] Mi Shinn: did the two students mention summer romance?
[18:47] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe I will delete the second question
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: nop
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: they only mentioned about making friends
[18:48] Meimeiryo Littlebird: after all, it is an activity held by language center, not group blind date or somethingXDDD
[18:48] Mi Shinn: As ko suggested,
[18:48] Susie223 Chun: haha
[18:49] Mi Shinn: maybe you can start a new paragrph here "Chinese Tea House"
[18:49] Mi Shinn: put it as a second pagraph
[18:49] Mi Shinn: where you are dying for?
[18:49] Mi Shinn: it is a strong expression!!!!
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: put it into second paragraph?
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe I'll just delete it~
[18:51] Mi Shinn: or maybe you can delete a couple of sentences before this sentence
[18:51] Mi Shinn: if you would like to keep them
[18:51] Charlotte Mohegan: ok I'll think about it
[18:51] Mi Shinn: you need to start a paragrph
[18:51] Mi Shinn: this is a n interesting topic
[18:51] Mi Shinn: you may wish to explore it more
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: ok
[18:52] Mi Shinn: I know you rewrite your news

[19:07] Mi Shinn: let's follow you
[19:07] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:07] Ding Atolia: the shining one
[19:08] Phoebe Isenia: yes?
[19:08] Ruby Lysios: the color of the words is unclear
[19:08] Phoebe Isenia: so we miss ocean's part?
[19:09] Mi Shinn: They are not clear to me
[19:09] Mi Shinn: maybe because it is shinning
[19:09] Ding Atolia: so what kind of word type you guys use?
[19:09] Ding Atolia: times new roman or ?
[19:09] Phoebe Isenia: no
[19:09] Mi Shinn: it does not matter
[19:10] Ruby Lysios: could you change color?
[19:10] Jessie Passerine: maybe the picture are too small
[19:10] Meimeiryo Littlebird: but if she is gonna change the color of the word, that means she need to make a new poster
[19:11] Mi Shinn: ya
[19:11] Meredith Rhosar: I think the poster is too big...
[19:11] Ding Atolia: so let me tell me my story outline first
[19:11] Mi Shinn: you cna adjust it after class if you wish
[19:11] Meimeiryo Littlebird: OK
[19:11] Jessie Passerine: ok
[19:11] Mi Shinn: now you can give us a summary of your news
[19:12] Ding Atolia: i talked about the different kindness of Taiwanese and people in the mainland
[19:12] Ding Atolia: I focused on the former-the overwhelming kindness and hospitality of Taiwanese have enabled many newcomers to better identify with this place and feel the sunshine of the island and its people.
[19:13] Ding Atolia: then I told a story from my own experience which leads me to think the reasons behind this difference
[19:13] Ding Atolia: so the following are the reasons i give
[19:14] Ding Atolia: I will make my poster clearer to see after class
[19:15] Mi Shinn: questions and comments?
[19:15] Meimeiryo Littlebird: wow, i feel so honorXD
[19:15] Ding Atolia: haha
[19:15] Judy Meiler: i think you can ask some of your friends from China that whether they have the same feeling with you and what are their experience.
[19:16] Meredith Rhosar: I like your topic
[19:16] Meimeiryo Littlebird: the topic is so poetic!
[19:16] Ding Atolia: oh, yes, Judy, I'll work on that, thank you,good suggestion
[19:16] Mi Shinn: is the meaning clear to you?meimei?
[19:16] Phoebe Isenia: the style of your article is really warm~
[19:17] Ruby Lysios: what's the green on in the picture
[19:17] Roxanne Kristan: do you have subtitle?
[19:17] Ding Atolia: thanks Meimeiryo and phoebe
[19:17] Phoebe Isenia: and what is Taiwan Jujube?
[19:17] Mi Shinn: what does sunshine mean to you, meimei?
[19:17] Meredith Rhosar: it's like Monica's style
[19:17] Roxanne Kristan: 棗子?
[19:17] Meimeiryo Littlebird: well, i have to read the article to know what different sunshine means
[19:17] Ding Atolia: it's 青枣
[19:17] Phoebe Isenia: oh i see~
[19:18] Ding Atolia: en, the style is like Monica's
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: what is the green picture?
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: I can't see it clearly
[19:18] Meimeiryo Littlebird: but i think the topic will attract people to continue reading the article
[19:18] Ding Atolia: 青枣
[19:19] Jessie Passerine: well, it's like a piece of travelling journal
[19:19] Ding Atolia: which is from the kind woman in my story
[19:19] Mi Shinn: were the pics taken by you?
[19:19] Ding Atolia: yes
[19:19] Mi Shinn: or other people?
[19:19] Mi Shinn: those smiles
[19:20] Mi Shinn: whose smiles?
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I took it, but I failed to take a picture of that woman
[19:21] Phoebe Isenia: i like your last paragraph
[19:21] Ding Atolia: smiles? in which paragraph? I cannot locate it right now
[19:21] Phoebe Isenia: i think it's a good analysis
[19:21] Mi Shinn: the pictures
[19:22] Mi Shinn: smiles in captions of the pictures
[19:23] Mi Shinn: ko
[19:23] Mi Shinn: how's your poster going?
[19:23] Mi Shinn: ding?
[19:24] Ding Atolia: the smiles of the people in the picture make me feel warm, which I think is the most obvious aspect of taiwanese's hospitality
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yes?
[19:24] Mi Shinn: so sunshine=smile?
[19:24] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yeah~but the photos seem to be too small
[19:24] Ding Atolia: sunshine is more than smile
[19:25] Ding Atolia: it's the warm effect that the smiles bring to us-people who are not local
[19:25] Mi Shinn: ko
[19:25] Judy Meiler: i think sunshine is the feeling of warm that you get.
[19:26] Mi Shinn: you are blocking my view here:)
[19:26] Ding Atolia: the deep warmth
[19:26] Ding Atolia: yes, Judy
[19:26] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i'm glad we Taiwanese give you this kind of warm feeling
[19:26] Object: Hello, Avatar!

[19:30] Susie223 Chun: My article is about the socially useful activities that held in Ken ting music festival
[19:30] Mi Shinn: it looked coooool
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: but my original one isn't clear enough
[19:30] Ruby Lysios: who is the singer?
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can't see the words learly
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: clearly
[19:31] Mi Shinn: you can figure out ways :)
[19:31] Susie223 Chun: 李心洁
[19:31] Phoebe Isenia: oh~
[19:31] Meimeiryo Littlebird: can people in front step back a little, cause i can't see the paragraph under ^^"
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Susie223 Chun: I wrote this story because I went to Kenting this month and joined the festival
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Mi Shinn: cool
[19:33] Meimeiryo Littlebird: do you think it is fun?
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: At that time Lee jumped up to the stage and we were all surprised and excited
[19:33] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Mi Shinn: gestures
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: It's soooooo funnyXD
[19:34] Judy Meiler: i think you can interview the people who have joined this activity many times, asking them is there some difference between now and past.
[19:35] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i'm still quite fear of this kind of activity....
[19:36] Ruby Lysios: so what do you want to emphasize, the social problems? maybe you could raise some questions in the first paragraph
[19:36] Mi Shinn: you used the future aspect in the first paragraph but past and present tenses in the second
[19:36] Susie223 Chun: This is the first time because the activity was nealy forbiden
[19:37] Ding Atolia: so com[pared with the same events held in the past few years, there has been some progress?
[19:37] Susie223 Chun: the authority thought the activity caused many damages to the environment there
[19:37] Susie223 Chun: Yes
[19:37] Mi Shinn: can you explain the tense shift?
[19:38] Phoebe Isenia: i thin since your topic is about the social problem of the festival~ perhaps you can point out the proble in the first paragraph
[19:38] Meimeiryo Littlebird: so this festival is different from 春吶?
[19:38] Susie223 Chun: because the durg-related cases have taken place
[19:38] Phoebe Isenia: because you didn't tell readers the problem until in the end of the 2nd paragraph
[19:39] Susie223 Chun: well ,I want to focus more on the progress:)
[19:39] Ding Atolia: yes, so tell more about the progress
[19:40] Susie223 Chun: The 2nd paragragh is kind of n explanation
[19:40] Mi Shinn: Roxanne
[19:40] Mi Shinn: you are quiet today
[19:40] Phoebe Isenia: and I recommend you to put Ken and ting together XD -> Kenting
[19:40] Susie223 Chun: OK~thanks~XD
[19:41] Phoebe Isenia: if you want to focus on the progress. maybe it will be great to interview or find some information to show us the transformation of this festival
[19:41] Mi Shinn: consisted of =was composed of
[19:41] Judy Meiler: i want to know more about what would they do to improve the problems.

[19:45] Object: Touched.
[19:45] Object: Touched.
[19:45] Susie223 Chun: no, I mean that the socially useful activities are for the first time
[19:45] Mi Shinn: you seem to use the word " raise" a lot
[19:45] Mi Shinn: raise a survey
[19:46] Mi Shinn: raise a purpose
[19:46] Mi Shinn: collocations are interesting
[19:47] Mi Shinn: sometimes they reflect personal styles--breaking conventional use
[19:47] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i c
[19:47] Mi Shinn: but sometimes you need to think twice
[19:47] Susie223 Chun: so maybe I should change my language using habits?
[19:48] Mi Shinn: as I gave comments on phoebes' poster
[19:48] Mi Shinn: the word "mecca" means something else to me

[20:01] Ruby Lysios: The restaurant is managed by NCU students, and they are well-trained to make the customers feel satisfied.
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: Some students said that it was a great experience to work here, and they purpose of working here is not for money but the opportunity to meet friends.
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: if you want see clearly, you could see my blog
[20:03] Mi Shinn: questions and comments
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: any comment, haha
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: http://monkeyyaya.blogspot.com/ my blog
[20:04] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i been there once, but i think the meal isn't that good XDDDD the lotus cookie is good though
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: did you enjoy the afternoon tea?
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: you could try waffle next time maybe
[20:05] Phoebe Isenia: i'm moved by the spirits of those staffs haha
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: and i think it a warm place for the student workers
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: hope you could visit there often
[20:05] Roxanne Kristan: the waffle there really taste great haha
[20:05] Ding Atolia: yeah, me too, the staff there draw much of my attention
[20:05] Susie223 Chun: since it's a piece of news, is it proper to put your own recommdation in the article?
[20:06] Ding Atolia: I like their siprit
[20:06] Phoebe Isenia: but i think the focus of your news is not on the restaurants, but the working atmosphere. haha
[20:06] Lucky Board: This prize wasn't claimed... so let's try a new magic letter.
[20:06] Lucky Board: Next Prize: breeding coop
[20:06] Lucky Board: Looking for a winner whose name begins with.... D.
[20:06] Ruby Lysios: yes
[20:06] Charlotte Mohegan下线了。
[20:06] Phoebe Isenia: perhaps you can change your topic and introduce the working attitude of the staffs
[20:07] Ruby Lysios: you mean focus on their attitude?
[20:07] Ruby Lysios: i also interview beba
[20:08] Charlotte Mohegan上线了。
[20:08] Phoebe Isenia: no. i mean your topic now makes readers to expect you to say something more on the restaurant itself
[20:08] Meimeiryo Littlebird: ya, what so special about this cafe is that it is run by the students
[20:08] Ruby Lysios: yes
[20:08] Phoebe Isenia: but your article is actually focesd on the working atmosphere and spirits of workers
[20:09] Meimeiryo Littlebird: so you can focus your topic on student workers
[20:09] Ruby Lysios: so maybe i should change the title
[20:09] Ding Atolia: so you can mention the working atmosphere in the beginning
[20:09] Ruby Lysios: ok...
[20:10] Phoebe Isenia: it's just my opinion~ you can take it or not
[20:10] Mi Shinn: thanks ruby
[20:11] Ruby Lysios: yes, but i wonder if i just focus on onething, will the news become boring?
[20:11] Mi Shinn: if there is no question. then it is Jessie's turn
[20:11] Ruby Lysios: ok
[20:11] Mi Shinn: Jessie?
[20:12] Mi Shinn: Jessie?
[20:12] Jessie Passerine: ok
[20:12] Jessie Passerine: my computer is a little stuck
[20:13] Mi Shinn: You can give us a summary of your news
[20:14] Jessie Passerine: Ths piece of news is about how parents use the Internet to get to know their kids better, about what they are doing or thingking lately.And this way of supervising is becoming more and more popularThs piece of news is about how parents use the Internet to get to know their kids better, about what they are doing or thingking lately.And this way of supervising is becoming more and more popular
[20:14] Charlotte Mohegan: this is cool and related to my last week's presentation : about teenager's blog
[20:15] Charlotte Mohegan: and my parents also do the same thing, sometimes check my blog
[20:15] Phoebe Isenia: are you the younster in the picture? haha
[20:15] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can interview me,haha
[20:15] Jessie Passerine: and in my piece , i interviewed some of the students whose parents use the internet for superviseing
[20:15] Meimeiryo Littlebird: my mom even leave comments on my blog!XD
[20:16] Roxanne Kristan: so cool~ my tutor student's mom always asks her to feed the animals on facebook
[20:16] Charlotte Mohegan: hahaha
[20:16] Jessie Passerine: wow~coll
[20:16] Mi Shinn: meimei?
[20:16] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yes?
[20:16] Mi Shinn: on your personal blog?
[20:16] Mi Shinn: your mom?
[20:16] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yes~on my personal blog
[20:16] Mi Shinn: cool
[20:17] Charlotte Mohegan: could you guys on the front move a little backward ?
[20:17] Charlotte Mohegan: thanks~
[20:17] Meimeiryo Littlebird: she always use the name"阿母" and i know it is herXD
[20:17] Mi Shinn: haha
[20:18] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe you can interview some parents
[20:18] Charlotte Mohegan: why should they do that? is that really help their relationship and achieve their goal?
[20:18] Judy Meiler: my mom has my MSN and facebook too, besides she is really good at English!
[20:19] Ding Atolia: haha
[20:19] Charlotte Mohegan: at first when I saw your topic I thought you are going to talk about the web camera
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: good point Charlotte ! I'll try that
[20:19] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i think it does help to improve the relationship between parents and son and daughter
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: you'r welcome
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: but I think children still have ways to avoid their supervising
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: they can lock the articles or album
[20:20] Mi Shinn: some typos but you can fix them
[20:21] Ding Atolia: but on the other hand, nowadays parents and children do have less face-to face talk than before
[20:21] Judy Meiler: so how are the parents in mainland do they use the same way to supervise their children asin Taiwan?
[20:21] Susie223 Chun: yes
[20:21] Ding Atolia: generally, it's similar
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: just some
[20:21] Susie223 Chun: besides,Judy,my mother is really good at English,tooXD
[20:22] Judy Meiler: ha ha
[20:22] Ding Atolia: but i think students in Tw goes home every week or wver two weeks
[20:22] Judy Meiler: so terrible, we have no privacy and advantage now ha ha
[20:22] Ding Atolia: but students in mainland probaply go home once or twice a semester
[20:23] Mi Shinn: the first sentence in the last paragraph is not clear to me
[20:23] Susie223 Chun: if you lock your album or something else, my mother will be upset and think I don't trust her
[20:23] Mi Shinn: For Jenny, whose parents..., things are ...
[20:24] Jessie Passerine: thanks, i got it
[20:24] Mi Shinn: it is a good quote
[20:25] Mi Shinn: but what is the conclusion?
[20:25] Charlotte Mohegan: I think there is no your opinion as conclusion?
[20:25] Jessie Passerine: no
[20:26] Charlotte Mohegan: yes , I think the whole news has several interviews that really convince people , but maybe you can express your own thought ?
[20:26] Jessie Passerine: I think leaving the reader to have their own opion is ok
[20:26] Mi Shinn: and maybe the last pragraph goes better with those students' perspectives
[20:26] Charlotte Mohegan: that's my little suggestion~
[20:27] Susie223 Chun: I don't it's necessary show her own opinion
[20:27] Mi Shinn: You have several students' perspectives and one parent's perspective
[20:27] Mi Shinn: and then
[20:27] Mi Shinn: what is your stance?
[20:28] Jessie Passerine: objective~ haha
[20:28] Jessie Passerine: just presenting different perspecitves
[20:28] Ding Atolia: i think for your story is not that new-oriented
[20:28] Ding Atolia: youcan have your opinion shown
[20:28] Mi Shinn: maybe you add one sentence to connect the interviews to the title.
[20:28] Ding Atolia: news-oriented
[20:29] Jessie Passerine: ok
[20:29] Mi Shinn: thanks Jessie

[18:08] Ding Atolia: morning
[18:10] Ellie Akiri: so do we have to wait till Susie come?

[18:11] Ding Atolia: ok
[18:11] Jessie Passerine: ok
[18:11] Ruby Lysios: ko~tou went to the wrong place
[18:11] Ruby Lysios: you
[18:11] Ellie Akiri: Why do you take this class?
[18:11] ko525252 Shelter: where are my group members
[18:12] Ruby Lysios: Marietta (6,49,64)
[18:12] Ruby Lysios: you should be there
[18:12] Ding Atolia: yes
[18:12] Ruby Lysios: you said why we took this class?
[18:12] ko525252 Shelter: thanks!
[18:12] Ellie Akiri: yes
[18:12] Ruby Lysios: bye~
[18:13] Ding Atolia: Ellie, you mean why do we take this journalistic writing at the beginning?
[18:13] Ellie Akiri: i guess so
[18:13] Ellie Akiri: this question is given by emma...
[18:13] Ellie Akiri: wait
[18:14] Ruby Lysios: because i want to learn something that might be different from literature; and i think it is fun to use secondlife at the beginning
[18:14] Ding Atolia: I took this class because I think it will be useful in later daily communication and so on
[18:15] Ruby Lysios: and i am interested in the issue about media and journalism
[18:15] Ellie Akiri: wait i have to go to check on G1 member... wait for me here...
[18:15] Ruby Lysios: ok
[18:15] Ding Atolia: me too
[18:15] Ding Atolia: ok
[18:15] Jessie Passerine: well my reason is simple.first , I want to learn journalistic writing. second, I have to take this course to change for one of my coursese in SWU , as a journalism major.e
[18:16] Ellie Akiri: back
[18:17] Ding Atolia: Let's go on
[18:17] Ding Atolia: hahha
[18:17] Ellie Akiri: How much time or effort do you put into writing the first Taiwan news story?
[18:18] Ding Atolia: I think it's a continuous effort
[18:18] Jessie Passerine: I didn't count it>.<
[18:19] Ding Atolia: which means we have to spent some time every week
[18:19] Jessie Passerine: I agree
[18:19] Ellie Akiri: can you at least estimate the total amount of time?
[18:19] Ellie Akiri: just for the first draft
[18:19] Ellie Akiri: not including the revising process
[18:20] Object: Touched.
[18:21] Ding Atolia: more than 5 hours because I am not really famaliar with Journalistic writing
[18:21] Ellie Akiri: I c
[18:21] Ding Atolia: so I spent the first few time on checking some useful infoemation
[18:22] Ding Atolia: and then think about my own topic and how i am going to write it
[18:22] Ruby Lysios: for me, i spent lots of time looking for information, and i spent 1 hour writing the news
[18:22] Ellie Akiri: how about you Jessie?
[18:22] Ding Atolia: yeah, the most hard process is to think of a good and worth-writing topic
[18:23] Ellie Akiri: ...is she still here?
[18:23] Ruby Lysios: i agree
[18:23] Ding Atolia: maybe she is having some problem with her computer
[18:23] Ding Atolia: it stuck a lot
[18:23] Jessie Passerine: i wsa thinking about how much time I spent
[18:24] Jessie Passerine: it was l long time ago
[18:24] Ellie Akiri: just some estimate figure... don't have to be precise
[18:24] Jessie Passerine: 4 or 5 hours?
[18:25] Jessie Passerine: I really don't remember.
[18:25] Ellie Akiri: because the next question will be the time and effort on Revising the TW news story
[18:25] Ellie Akiri: it's okay... if you don't remember just say so
[18:25] Ding Atolia: ok
[18:26] Ellie Akiri: then how about the revising?
[18:26] Ding Atolia: is it including the hours we spent within our group talking in sl
[18:26] Jessie Passerine: the time for writing is not long
[18:26] Jessie Passerine: just 1 hour or so
[18:27] Ellie Akiri: you can count that time as "Effort"
[18:27] Jessie Passerine: but the time spent on collecting information is much longer
[18:27] Ruby Lysios: should we include the time of peer revision?
[18:27] Ellie Akiri: guess so...
[18:27] Jessie Passerine: becuause I changed my topic
[18:28] Jessie Passerine: and rewrote it
[18:28] Ruby Lysios: i changed it also
[18:28] Ding Atolia: haha, then that will be about 3 to 5 hours
[18:28] Ellie Akiri: ok
[18:28] Ding Atolia: less than the writing process
[18:28] Ruby Lysios: i think i spend 4 to 5 hours
[18:28] Ellie Akiri: then how about the second story?
[18:29] Ellie Akiri: the frist draft only
[18:29] Jessie Passerine: much longer...
[18:29] Ruby Lysios: it takes more time because we are not familiar with SL
[18:29] Ding Atolia: the writing process of the 1st draft is short about 2-3 hours
[18:29] Ellie Akiri: i c
[18:30] Ding Atolia: because I didn't really spend much effort on it. I was sorry...
[18:30] Jessie Passerine: it took me 4 hours or so exploing the sl world
[18:30] Ruby Lysios: i spent 4 to 5 hours including exploring in SL
[18:30] Ellie Akiri: wow
[18:30] Ellie Akiri: i c
[18:30] Ellie Akiri: then how about revising?
[18:30] Jessie Passerine: and 2 or 3 hours searching for information on the Internet
[18:31] Jessie Passerine: and 1 hour to write it
[18:31] Ding Atolia: but then I couldn't allow myself to do such a bad job, I began to really work on it
[18:32] Ding Atolia: and spent 3-4 hours in choosing my focus and visiting the place i was going to write about
[18:32] Ding Atolia: and then I did the interview
[18:32] Ruby Lysios: maybe it took me 1 to 2 hour to write the news....and it is so difficult to interview people
[18:32] Ding Atolia: so the total time for the revision was about 6 hours
[18:32] Ellie Akiri: ok
[18:32] Ruby Lysios: wow
[18:32] Ellie Akiri: next question
[18:33] Ellie Akiri: have you changed topic in either of these two assignment? and ... if so, why?
[18:34] Ding Atolia: yes. I changed the SL topic
[18:34] Jessie Passerine: both
[18:34] Ding Atolia: because the first one i worked on is too general
[18:34] Jessie Passerine: because at first I was not sure about what to write
[18:34] Ruby Lysios: i changed to taiwan news topic...because emma emphasized that our news should be original
[18:35] Ellie Akiri: ok... next
[18:35] Ellie Akiri: What are some differences between Taiwan news writing and SL news writing?
[18:35] Ruby Lysios: we are familiar with Taiwan and it's easier to think a topic
[18:36] Jessie Passerine: 1. sl world is virtual and we have to use a computer to experience it.... which is not familiar to us
[18:36] Ding Atolia: Tw news can be something personal, using which to reflect something big about the society
[18:36] Ding Atolia: but we have to explore the sl WORLD first before we write the SL news
[18:37] Ding Atolia: and for me, sl news is more formal
[18:37] Ruby Lysios: it takes more time to explore the virtual world because it exists more possiblities
[18:37] Ding Atolia: yeah, good point
[18:38] Jessie Passerine: that's the point~
[18:38] Ellie Akiri: i c
[18:38] Ding Atolia: we have to choose what we think of the best from the many possibilities
[18:39] Ellie Akiri: ok, anymore comment on this one?
[18:39] Jessie Passerine: in sl, we are like new born babies
[18:39] Jessie Passerine: but have to find out news about it
[18:40] Jessie Passerine: which is chanllenging
[18:40] Object: Touched.
[18:40] Jessie Passerine: but also interesting~ XD
[18:40] Ruby Lysios: we just used SL for a few months, and if we want know or learn more...it needs time
[18:40] Ellie Akiri: i c
[18:41] Ellie Akiri: okay i think i have to speed up a bit...
[18:41] Ellie Akiri: You all play different roles(writer/reader/editor/organizers) in News Discussion, do different role plays help you revise your paper?
[18:41] Ding Atolia: yeah, it was after I really explored it that I began to grow interest in it
[18:41] Ding Atolia: yes, I think so
[18:42] Ruby Lysios: yes...it's better than nobody helps you
[18:42] Ding Atolia: in telling other our ideas, we can reflect our own
[18:42] Jessie Passerine: yes different roles can help me find different errors
[18:43] Ruby Lysios: and we also learn more details about why the writer choose the topic
[18:43] Jessie Passerine: and help me to improve in different aspects
[18:43] Ellie Akiri: like?
[18:44] Jessie Passerine: and playing different roles can help us think like an editor or a reader
[18:44] Ding Atolia: like reading perspectives, organizing ability
[18:45] Ding Atolia: and error-finding ability, if it can be called ability, haha
[18:45] Jessie Passerine: it's a good thing to know that different people have different stand piont in viewing the same ariticle
[18:45] Ellie Akiri: ok, next... Do you review chat transcripts after online discussion? To what extent do you adopt your group members’ comments in revising news stories?
[18:45] Jessie Passerine: yes
[18:45] Ding Atolia: yes, i do
[18:45] Ruby Lysios: i did also
[18:46] Ding Atolia: first, their advice about the grammatic error is useful
[18:46] Jessie Passerine: their comments inspired me to change to a new topic
[18:46] Ding Atolia: those may some tiny mistakes we ignored
[18:46] Jessie Passerine: whicn is mentioned in the discussion
[18:47] Ding Atolia: and then the organizing advice and readers' perspectives help us to form a better news story
[18:47] Jessie Passerine: and also help me find the many small mistaked i made but usually ignored
[18:47] Ruby Lysios: and it's very helpful and i will find out that there are a lot of things i ignored....which helps me to have a better revision
[18:48] Ellie Akiri: ok, next... What are some advantages and disadvantages of discussing news stories on Second Life?
[18:48] Ding Atolia: and sometimes they talked about what they interested to know more, so it helped to expand our topic and depth
[18:48] Ding Atolia: disadvantages: computer skills
[18:49] Ruby Lysios: i think sometimes discussing in SL lack efficiency....
[18:49] Jessie Passerine: disadvantage: my computer always tet stuck...
[18:49] Jessie Passerine: get
[18:49] Ruby Lysios: i will think why we don't discuss face in face
[18:49] Ding Atolia: becasuse i am not familiar, so sometimes i just get lost or hard to control myself, which wastes a lot of time
[18:50] Ellie Akiri: ok
[18:50] Jessie Passerine: that's right
[18:50] Ellie Akiri: how about advantages?
[18:50] Ding Atolia: but different from face to face, this give us the chance to save the script
[18:50] Ding Atolia: and we can refer to the script in later revision process
[18:51] Jessie Passerine: advantage is that the transcript can be saved which we can use as a reference while revising news stories
[18:51] Ding Atolia: also, i think the process to build the board is cool
[18:51] Ruby Lysios: the advantage is we could browse the news and link to the blog directly (is it a advantage?)
[18:52] Ellie Akiri: ok two more questions then you may go
[18:52] Ding Atolia: yes, i think so it's easier
[18:52] Ellie Akiri: How do global audiences on the Internet influence your writing and revision of news submission? Do they make you feel more like an author?
[18:52] Ding Atolia: ok
[18:52] Ding Atolia: global audiences?
[18:53] Jessie Passerine: what does that mean?
[18:53] Ruby Lysios: global audience? i don't know if they will read my news....
[18:53] Ellie Akiri: internet I assume...
[18:53] Ellie Akiri: hahah
[18:53] Ellie Akiri: i just copy and paste the question...
[18:53] Ding Atolia: haha, ok
[18:53] Ellie Akiri: just assume there are some people out there reading your story?
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: i think i am like the author when i write something on my blog
[18:54] Jessie Passerine: well... when I was writing I feel more like an author
[18:54] Ding Atolia: i think the most possible audience we have is from SL, because that's where we situate ourselves. it's just we have a whole new world
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: but i think the "global audience" won't effect me about what i want to write or convey the message
[18:55] Ding Atolia: before writing our news, we would think about what kinds of topic may interest others
[18:56] Ding Atolia: so that the news could have the potential to draw others' attention
[18:56] Ellie Akiri: ok ok... last!!! How much time or effort did you put in the news discussion in Second Life? Do you consider it a great effort to you? Why?
[18:57] Ruby Lysios: what?
[18:57] Ellie Akiri: the news discussion in SL
[18:57] Jessie Passerine: just as Emma required
[18:58] Ellie Akiri: yes
[18:59] Ellie Akiri: how does you feel about it?
[18:59] Ding Atolia: yeah, we spend the time as requested, and since it's in front of the computer
[18:59] Ding Atolia: we feel dizzy sometimes, and we have to follow well to what others are talking about
[18:59] Ding Atolia: so I would call that an effort
[19:00] Ellie Akiri: i c
[19:00] Ellie Akiri: ok, that's it... thank you for coming. you may go to your next interview session
[19:00] Ding Atolia: Ellie, sorry, I just checked my 163 mail-box

[19:20] Mi Shinn: Ruby?
[19:20] Ding Atolia: Jessis is here
[19:20] Ding Atolia: and Susis asks a leave
[19:21] Ruby Lysios: in the back of you
[19:21] Mi Shinn: I see
[19:21] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:21] Mi Shinn: so you are suppose to give me your topic and questions today!
[19:21] Ding Atolia: I'm now thinking of the interesting topics
[19:21] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:22] Ding Atolia: how about transgender, Ruby and Jessie?
[19:22] Jessie Passerine: cool~
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: i also think the issue !!
[19:22] Jessie Passerine: XD
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: interview the group in SL
[19:23] Ding Atolia: you think it's cool, but will it hard to find people to interview?
[19:23] Mi Shinn: I could not her you because my speaker is broken
[19:23] Mi Shinn: sorry jessie
[19:23] Ruby Lysios: maybe we can try
[19:23] Jessie Passerine: ok
[19:23] Ding Atolia: can we tell from their apprarance that they are transgender?
[19:23] Ding Atolia: appearance
[19:24] Mi Shinn: how do you find them?
[19:24] Mi Shinn: it is a question
[19:24] Jessie Passerine: in clubs maybe
[19:24] Mi Shinn: what kinds of club?
[19:24] Jessie Passerine: there are so many transgender club
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yeah, we could clubs
[19:25] Mi Shinn: for example?
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: and I just typed in the key word Transgender in the search frame above
[19:25] Mi Shinn: what questions would you ask them?
[19:26] Mi Shinn: what is the purposeof the study?
[19:26] Ruby Lysios: the club that transgender people might gather together to share their opinion like that
[19:26] Jessie Passerine: why do you come to the club in sl instead of reality
[19:26] Mi Shinn: how much timewill the interview take place?
[19:26] Ding Atolia: about 45 minutes
[19:26] Jessie Passerine: several hours maybe
[19:26] Ruby Lysios: to find out if they face any problems in real life?
[19:27] Mi Shinn: you need to write an information sheet
[19:27] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:27] Mi Shinn: some people ask for it when you interview them
[19:27] Mi Shinn: in the sheet
[19:27] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:27] Mi Shinn: you need to specify the information that I mentioned just now
[19:28] Mi Shinn: so what is the topic?
[19:28] Mi Shinn: Study Information Sheet for "(Topic)"
[19:29] Mi Shinn: We are students at NCU In Taiwan
[19:29] Mi Shinn: You are asked to participate in this study...
[19:29] Mi Shinn: The research procedure involves...
[19:30] Mi Shinn: time and questions below
[19:30] Ding Atolia: oh, ok
[19:30] Mi Shinn: so what the topic is?
[19:30] Ding Atolia: we need more efforts working on it
[19:30] Mi Shinn: we can brainstorm here
[19:31] Mi Shinn: and in next meeting
[19:31] Ruby Lysios: i think we could think questions first and then come up a theme
[19:31] Mi Shinn: you can put them in a note and gives it to me
[19:31] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:31] Mi Shinn: inventory-->create-->create a note
[19:31] Jessie Passerine: maybe sl:a paradise for transgenders?
[19:31] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:31] Mi Shinn: then paste information on it
[19:32] Jessie Passerine: ok
[19:32] Mi Shinn: what are the questions that define"paradise?"
[19:32] Mi Shinn: ruby
[19:32] Jessie Passerine: just an asumption..
[19:32] Mi Shinn: you are quiet today
[19:33] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:33] Ding Atolia: I don't think the transgender people are transgenders in real life
[19:33] Mi Shinn: what is the assumption?
[19:33] Mi Shinn: good start
[19:33] Ding Atolia: assuming they are not transgender in real life
[19:33] Jessie Passerine: real transgender people can get more pleasure and less pressure in sl
[19:33] Ding Atolia: so why do they choose to be tansgender in SL
[19:34] Jessie Passerine: because no one knows who they are and what is their real sex
[19:34] Mi Shinn: can we come over here?
[19:34] Ding Atolia: what fun can they get?
[19:34] Mi Shinn: now we are underground
[19:35] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:35] Mi Shinn: keep going
[19:35] Mi Shinn: ding
[19:35] Ding Atolia: yes
[19:35] Mi Shinn: we are under the water
[19:36] Ding Atolia: oh wait a min
[19:36] Ding Atolia: wow
[19:36] Mi Shinn: *GIGGLES* :)~~~~
[19:36] Ding Atolia: cool
[19:37] Mi Shinn: Ding
[19:37] Mi Shinn: keeo going
[19:37] Ding Atolia: yes?
[19:37] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:37] Ruby Lysios: should we need to assume that people in sl are really transgender in real life?
[19:37] Ding Atolia: I think of the opposite
[19:38] Jessie Passerine: maybe we can have both of the aspects
[19:38] Jessie Passerine: 1 those who are real transgenders in reality
[19:39] Jessie Passerine: 2. those who are not but cross dressed in sl
[19:39] Jessie Passerine: as for the 1st situation
[19:39] Jessie Passerine: i have the assumption mentioned above
[19:40] Ding Atolia: we try to find the differences?
[19:40] Ding Atolia: is it too general and big that we cannot focus well?
[19:40] Jessie Passerine: maybe just find out what tansgender means in sl
[19:40] Ding Atolia: if we only focus on the 2nd one
[19:41] Mi Shinn: what does it mean in rl?
[19:41] Ruby Lysios: people are also transgender people in reality
[19:41] Ding Atolia: we can deraw more attention on their reason for their total different choices
[19:42] Jessie Passerine: but I think for the 2nd situation
[19:42] Jessie Passerine: most of the time
[19:42] Ding Atolia: some may just out of curiosity, others may long for such kind for a long time but have no chance to show them in real life
[19:42] Jessie Passerine: people are just seeking fun
[19:43] Ding Atolia: then we can think of what's the fun mean?
[19:43] Ruby Lysios: yes, we can think of many choices that why they join the group...
[19:43] Ding Atolia: fun in seeking to be the other sex
[19:44] Ding Atolia: would this be a tendency that sex is not as important as before
[19:44] Ding Atolia: ?
[19:44] Ding Atolia: because I just think of what we talked about in Han's class
[19:44] Ruby Lysios: and in sl the boundary of gender is blurred
[19:45] Ding Atolia: that sex and gender are totally different
[19:45] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:45] Mi Shinn: is this a topic?
[19:45] Mi Shinn: to defind paradise?
[19:46] Mi Shinn: which one is prominant in sl?
[19:46] Jessie Passerine: well...the topic I mentioned earlier is not the final one>.<
[19:46] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:47] Jessie Passerine: do we have to give our topic a clear title?
[19:47] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:47] Jessie Passerine: and research it like the articles we read before?
[19:47] Mi Shinn: it will help you articulate your questions in a specific way
[19:47] Ding Atolia: how about transgender, tanslife?haha
[19:48] Jessie Passerine: it's not so specific ...
[19:48] Ding Atolia: we may use subtitle to define
[19:48] Ruby Lysios: will sl becomes a retreat for those people we are transgender in real life???
[19:48] Mi Shinn: what is the subtitle?
[19:49] Ding Atolia: can we use questions as subtitles
[19:49] Mi Shinn: sure
[19:50] Ding Atolia: like Ruby's and also what fun can they get from transgender in sl? kinds like this
[19:51] Ding Atolia: list the most important questions in our interview questions we are about to design
[19:51] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:51] Mi Shinn: you can have some sub-topics
[19:51] Ding Atolia: and in the news body, we can expland more questions
[19:51] Mi Shinn: and each subtopics may contain a few questions
[19:52] Ding Atolia: ok.
[19:52] Mi Shinn: remeber to put them into a note
[19:52] Ding Atolia: ok, today is the deadline
[19:52] Mi Shinn: it ia bout time
[19:52] Jessie Passerine: ok ic
[19:52] Ding Atolia: ?

[20:17] JTA Karsin: good
[20:18] JTA Karsin: How does your language choice affect your interaction within SL?
[20:18] Ruby Lysios: i thinks it makes difference because english is international
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: while you say interaction ... who was it between?
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: classmates?
[20:19] Ding Atolia: while we use English in sl, we feel a kind of formal and professinal
[20:19] JTA Karsin: all the people you met in sl
[20:20] Ding Atolia: Chinese may be used between close friends
[20:20] Ding Atolia: professional
[20:20] Jessie Passerine: well , using English can talk to more people
[20:20] JTA Karsin: ok
[20:20] Ruby Lysios: i just use english because i think they might not understand chinese

[20:27] JTA Karsin: can you tell me why?
[20:27] JTA Karsin: ok
[20:27] Ruby Lysios: haha, i think we use informal language
[20:27] Ding Atolia: we just try to make others understand
[20:28] Ding Atolia: as long as our ideas get across, it's fine.
[20:28] Jessie Passerine: sometimes to get understoodm, grammer seems not that important

[20:29] JTA Karsin: can you give some example about it?
[20:30] Ding Atolia: about meaning?
[20:30] JTA Karsin: about your improvement
[20:30] JTA Karsin: (if you have)
[20:31] Ding Atolia: it's like we want to tell others our idea, but they are not easy to understand for lack of background information, so we have to make it clear precisely
[20:31] JTA Karsin: ok
[20:32] Ding Atolia: and also
[20:32] Ding Atolia: sometimes we have disagreement
[20:32] JTA Karsin: ruby and jessie?
[20:32] Ruby Lysios: here
[20:32] Ding Atolia: we have to make clear our own stand point
[20:33] JTA Karsin: oh you dont feel you improved? ruby and jessie?
[20:33] Jessie Passerine: well, I don't know whether i have any improvement
[20:33] Ruby Lysios: we reach our comprise after discussion

Drugs in Second Life (final edition)

Being at your high not only happens in real life, but virtual world.In this popular online game named Second Life, people can do exactly anything that may happen in everyday life, or that may never happen in your daily rutine, for example, drugs.
Buying drugs in second life is legal and free, and the same thing goes with sex industry there, that is probably part of the reason why this game got popular.Just type in the word “drug” in the game, and you will find a bunch of sites to go to and find your place to buy some LSD, marijuana, hash, heroin, speed, ecstasy, roofies and whatever that can bring pleasure to your body.
Second life has a very open atomasphere towards drugs, unlike most parts of the real world.And it’s like that of America in the 1960s and 1970s.But what is different is that the one who takes the drug is your avantar instead of your real body.” But it sounds interesting. I would like to try it! Why not?” some players claimed in this way.
There are places like Feelgood & Sunshine Drugs where one can buy drugs.Just follow the instructions shown by note cards which you can get freely, and you will find your avatar be animated for one minute or so, with fancy music. The animation of avatars after taking drugs would be like those who in real life.And you can buy all kinds of drugs there if you got enough money, heroine, marijuana and many other type of drugs.
On youtube, the largest vedio publishing platform, some players even made some clips of avantar at high after taking drugs, with fancy music and after-effects.After viewing the vedio clip,some said it was fun,but some also claimed that he would like to take the drug in real life instead.
Drugs ,in most people’s eyes, is something that should never touched.But the popularity of virtual drugs may pointed some thing out: whether dealing with drugs is a moral corruption or just self-satisfaction?
Or maybe, taking drugs in second life is just get an animation for your avatar,without doing any actual things to your body.Are these animation drugs? Hardly.
