What do I think about premium brands?                                                                                      

I think that premium brands are luxury spending. Many people want to purchase premium brands especially, women and girls. Premium brands are extremely expensive. In order to buy a designer handbag, I saw many girls are very saving in their daily lives.  In my personal experience, spending much money to buy a designer handbag is not an intelligent decision because I fear to smudge my favorite handbag, so I use it scrupulously. I think that Because of well- known brands, the majority of consumers are willing to spend much money to purchase them. Many people have vanities. They like to utilize premium brands to attract other people’s attention. In addition to that, high quality is one of reason why some consumers trend to buy expensive products rather than buy cheaper products. Choosing a good brand can ensure the quality of the goods. In brief, premium brand not only can bring people great vanity but also promise the quality of the goods.

In the first 7 weeks of AP4.   What am I going to do differently in the second half?

 During 7 weeks, I acquired many things such as practicing a process essay, learning some academic vocabulary words. These things could help me to improve my English. Especially, making a blog with classmate was very interesting to me. We could discuss what should we do and share some ideas on the blog. I think that I did my blog well in the first 7 weeks of AP4. I have never done a blog, so that making a new blog is a new thing to me. Although I should learn how to do the blog by myself, I prefer to do the blog with classmate. It is a good way to build a good relationship with classmate.  Moreover, I think that process essay is totally different with IELES. Main ideas, three thesis steps and support ideas are very important in a process essay. When I wrote a process essay, I need to think too much at the beginning. It is difficult to me.  I fear I do not have sufficient time to think and finish a process essay. In the first 7 weeks of AP4, I did not do well in my process essay. In the second half of AP4, I will find some methods to improve my writing. I asked my university’s English teacher last night. She told me that introduction and conclusion are extremely important in a process essay, so I need to take any topics to practice my introduction and conclusion. If introduction and conclusion are very smooth, I probably can write good body paragraphs in my process essay. I will try it now.
