I share Claire’s perspective on the journal writing activities. My reasons stem from the improvement of the student's academic performance and the lesson’s quality. First, through journal writing, students can review what they have learned in class. Therefore, they will gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge. For example, a student who takes business management and marketing will be perplexed by the multiple courses, when they are required to write a journal, they must review the knowledge, through this process the student will make clear the two subjects. After all, the student will have an improvement in their academic performance. Second, teachers can also receive a reflection on their lessons through the student’s journal. Since when they are reading the journal, they are in the student’s shoes, understanding their lesson’s quality better. For instance, if a teacher reads a journal that a student wants a more vivid class, he or she can add some experiments in class. Eventually, the class quality will be increased soon after.

Section Title: 6 Article Revision

I concur with Claire's viewpoint regarding the implementation of journal writing activities in educational settings. My stance is primarily based on the potential enhancement of students' academic performance and the overall quality of lessons. Firstly, journal writing enables students to reflect upon and consolidate their understanding of class material. For instance, a student studying business management and marketing may initially struggle to differentiate between the two subjects; however, by maintaining a journal, they are compelled to review and internalize key concepts, ultimately leading to improved academic performance. Secondly, teachers can gain valuable insights into their lesson delivery by examining students' journals. By stepping into the students' shoes, educators can better comprehend the effectiveness of their teaching methods and make necessary adjustments. For example, if a teacher discovers that a student desires more engaging classes, they may incorporate hands-on experiments or interactive activities to elevate the overall quality of instruction. Consequently, journal writing activities serve as a powerful tool for both personal growth and instructional improvement. (170 words)

Section Title: 6 文章修订

In response to the discussion on the decreasing use of cash, I concur with Amy that this trend is indeed positive. Apart from the convenience she mentioned, I would like to emphasize the enhanced security provided by electronic payment methods. Utilizing cash carries inherent risks, such as theft and subsequent loss that cannot be recovered. For instance, I once lost my wallet containing all my paper bills and coins while shopping at a grocery store. Despite reviewing the store's security footage, my money was never recovered.

However, with the advent of electronic payment options like cards and phone apps, I no longer worry about safeguarding physical currency as instances of theft have significantly reduced. Therefore, I firmly believe that the decline in physical money usage is a positive development. Consequently, we should promote mobile payments more extensively to further reap its benefits in terms of convenience and security. (152 words)
