I’m somewhat embarrassed to say that, I have learned a lot of practical skills of different computer software, but I’m still a closed book to them. As I can see it, the children born in 21st century who are called Z generations are used to the electronic screens or devices and the internet. As for me, I rarely used computer even cell phone before I was in High school. So I’m still not much of a computer geek until now. But before my graduating from my university, we found out that the internet industry gained ground , and there were a lot of students gained an offer from top internet companies with high salary. As a result , we have to keep abreast of learning different computer skills in school to get a satisfied job, such as the theory of the computer knowledge, how to design a picture, how to make programming and how to make a video with camera and video-making software. I signed up for a lot of courses to keep up with the times, too. And I derived a sense of achievement from these experiences of making a project, which can give you chances to put into practice. But the technology is changing so fast, and some software you have learned will be outdated in a short time. That’s the reason why you can’t stop keeping learning new things in this fast-paced ages, which also makes me a little bit exhausted.

• Shen ye, this is a tough topic with lots of new words, idioms etc – I would suggest a topic a little easier – this number of mistakes might be a little hard to learn from. Good work tackling it though!
