Improving Academic performance
It's very important to have a good reading skill, and it's also very helpful in our study and daily life. Actually I don't have a good reading method so it's very hard for me to do the reading when I have the examation. However according to read this article I leart a very useful method which is SQ3R. There are 5 step in SQ3R method which are survey,question,read,recite and review. Actually most of the steps we are already knew but I wnt to mention that the second step is very helpful for us to understand the article better. By asking these questions can get you actively involved in your reading and helps you indentify the main ideas. And also the fourth step is very important. Bescause people always escape the section when the first time they can't understand. However it is not good, because if just escape that section and continue read may be it's goona be hard for you to connect those main ideas together at last. Anyway mastering a good reading method it's very helpful to you.

Public lecture

A few weeks ago, I went to the McGill to listen a public lecture with some classmates. Actually this is my first time went to the public lecture. I am very interested in this topic because dam is one of the most serious social problems in China. Also I think this experience will be very useful for my future and my research presentation. Moreover according to listen this lecture, I have more ideas about how to do a good lecture. Actually when the professors talk about some problems of dam they just describe them in general. So it’s very hard to understand and I feel very hurry and boring at this time. So according to this experience I decide to make my research presentation easier and reduce using the academic word or transfer the academic words into my own words. Also I learn a lot from their organization. Actually they organized the information very well and the information is always connected together.

Population
Nowadays the population problem becomes more and more specious. According to watch the video and do the reading, I have more opinion about this problem.
I think the governments have to pay more attention to this problem. They should take some actions in order to solve this problem such as make some laws for population growth, especially in some developing countries such as family planning. Also the developed countries should give enough support to developing countries. For instance, helping them build the health and education system. Also give them enough food or water to some countries which are short of them.
If we do not control this problem very well the consequences goanna be very serious. In the future there will be not enough space for people living in this world. The disease goanna be speared very quickly in developing countries.
Anyhow solving population problem is not only the government responsibility but also is our responsibilities.

Should governments control population growth? Explain
In my point of view, I think the government should control the population growing. Because as we know the species in this world is limited.If the population keeps growing as fast as right now,it means there wiil be no more space in this world .Even now the researchers suppose that people can live on the Mars in the future.However the resech is still in progress and also no on knows when this dream can be came true.
