Welcome to the AWT1002-05 blog website! Each week, I will post a blog prompt during your MML period (every Wednesday in the Building 4 MML). You must write a response to the prompt in the "Comments" section of the blog prompt. I expect you to use your MML class period to respond to the blog prompt (although you may finish your blog post for homework). The intention of this blog site is to encourage creative writing and creative thinking. However, I still expect you to use academic writing in your post, such as correct capitalization, punctuation, and vocabulary. You blog posts should be a paragraph (8-10 sentences) minimum length.
Blog prompt: First, click on the link and take Buzzfeed's What Grade Are You Getting In Life? quiz. After to take the quiz, read the results of the quiz.
Then, write a blog post (1 paragraph, 8-10 sentences) telling me if you agree or disagree with the results of the quiz. Did you agree with the grade you got? Do you think it should have been a higher grade or a lower grade? Explain your response.
I got an A + . I could not agree more . I think i deserve it as it is the highest grade . I always want to be on top or one of the smartest students in my class . Because when it comes to studies , I work hard and do my best . In addition I literaly get angry when the highest grade is not mine . I just love to be the teacher favorite student . Last but not least , my parents taught me that no one can beat you or just be better than you if you do you work like it should and stay positive . Those were some of the reasons that show that i deserve this grade .
ReplyDeleteAh, you like being a teacher's pet, huh?
DeleteA- in a quiz, for me, somehow is a good result for several reasons: First, i did my best during the test. Then, i took it seriously. Third, i didn't cheat, took someone else answers ; neither asked someone else for help. But, i'm sure that i can do better, if i go through two main steps to ameliorate my grade: One ; is to do revisions, and practices. Two; is to be patient, and don't give quick answers during the quiz.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that serious of a quiz. I think an A- is a great grade to be getting in life.
DeleteI think the secret to getting an A- at life is simply being thankful for what you have. I'm not exactly where I need to be in life, yet I"m a hell of a great deal preferred off over I could be! When I figured out how to concentrate on what I have, rather than what I don't have, I discovered genuine satisfaction
ReplyDeleteYou did not write your name. That's not good. Please do that next time.
DeleteTo start with, i totally disagree with the results of the quiz. The grade should be higher than what it was, more than A-, why not to have an A+? Even if i am a couch potato, but when i work seriously and hard, i will have good grades. The worst thing of me is being lazy; I like working by the skin of my teeth. It makes me to be more creative and innovative. But, i need to change this way of studying because it needs a lot of power. So, that's why i need more than A-. Working till the last moment is something amazing and not all of people can do it. And by this way, we can find genius people who can do the same work but in a few time than the others.
ReplyDeleteI love all the idiomatic phrases you used in this paragraph. Good work!
DeleteI've got B- and they said that they can raise it to a B.Actually, i think my life is better than that. Maybe i'm stressed a little bit but it's normal everyone in my age has the same problem because we still have the issue of building a bright future . in my opinion, i see that the creators of this quiz cannot grade our life because they don't know us and everyone knows how to manage his own life without this quiz.
ReplyDeleteA little stress during university is good. A B grade is a great grade; it means that you have a future filled with new opportunities to be better.
DeleteWell, I got an A+, and sincerely I'm chocked. I didn't expect this grade because I don't think that I'm good at life. In fact, a lot of crazy things happened in my life that made my life a little bit weird. Changing city and starting a new life was hard for me, but now I'm fine. however, I answered some questions without thinking, so I really think that I don't deserve an A+. I was expecting a lower grade such as B because my life is not perfect at all. In fact, I got a lot of problems that makes me depressed for a long time, so I think that I don't know how to deal with life. I'm that kind of person who is afraid of problems, and can't assume it. In conclusion, I think that we can't trust this quiz because we can't know how are we getting our life.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked you got an A+ in life, too, because you forgot to put your name of your blog post!
DeleteWell, I took the'What Grade Are You taking in life' test and I got an "A+".Actually, That doesn't really surprise me. The test focuses on the way you lead your life , was it in your job , you workout activities or even in your love life.The reason why i wasn't too chocked by the grade , nor was i proud of it, was as a matter of fact spiritual.I have always adopted a lifestyle , in which i made a promise to myself,to enjoy myself with no single boundaries. And of curse to never forget the set of priorities and goals i have fixed.Well it is absolutely not to brag but i have always had good grades in my academical life, but getting as such in my real life is a great achievement.There is no secret magical recipe, you should work on your mental and physical state. If we had a GPA defining our life the main subject would be "Workouts and how your actually comfortable with your body" and believe this subject involves a lot of credits in your joy and happiness. Than we will have a subject entitled 'Love life' in which you should be content, whether you have someone or not in your life, because seeking for love is exhausting, stressful , and depressive. And believe me you don't need that to increase you GPA.Next, will doubtlessly be 'Your job', if you're engaged in a path where you feel disoriented, and you don't enjoy what your doing , that is a problem. Your work is a major part of your life, you can't escape from it , so you'd rather do it with passion.And so your life GPA will always be on the top.
ReplyDeleteIt's important to good a job in a field that you are interested in. You are wise beyond your years.
DeleteI really appreciate the result of this quiz, I agree with the grade I got. I think it's the best grade, it makes me feel more confident about my self. It is normal that all we have problems and obstacles in life, but I'm sure I have the capacity to overcome all difficulties in my life. moreover, I thank god because all my past was great, i have a stable and happy life for sure, and i hope that my future could be more successful and that i could live in peace. In fact, i'm also satisfied about my self, I could affirm that i have good characters, good habits, and nice toughs. I'm a little shy and sensible, but I'm strong and I know how to get away from sadness and fear. Sometimes, I feel myself as a perfect person, I see that I have more advantages in my personality than inconvenient. Then, I always want just to be my self and not being someone else. in brief, I just don't care about THE Others opinions, who loves me must love me as I am .
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be a sensitive person. That's a big asset in life. I'm glad you're happy with your score.
DeleteI've got a B-, which means that : "I'm currently experiencing the shittiness that is twenty something life." First of all, this test presents the extremes on what most of us go through. For example, the ninth question suppose that if I won't own a house from here five years, I would be in the same position I'm in right now. However, the test gives a general idea about what I'm going through lately, which is mostly due to the amount of work and quizzes I have. Meaning that in a certain way I agree with the grade I've got. Questions given in the happiness test are mostly objective, so the grade I've got was just a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you; the questions are pretty silly and biased.
DeleteI got an A+. I think is the best grade ,so, it's makes me so happy about my self and about my future. Also, the test focused in general how we will do in the future , what we are doing now .Moreover ,if i want that grade be real in my future life ,I'm obliged to work hard and to be so serious in my studies , to love what I do because if I do , I will probably be one of the most important people in this world. to conclude, nothing is difficult achieve in your life , I must and should do the impossible to have what I want and i'm sure that one day all my wishes come true.
ReplyDeleteHard work is half of all of life. The rest is what you make it.
DeleteI got B, and I deserve it for many reasons. The first one, this is me and I need to be honest with myself. Furthermore, this test shows me that I have wrong ideas about me and about the way I think; I must correct them. Likewise, I'm not a perfect person; that is the fairest reason. For conclusion, those excuses I gave are reasonable, but why someone got A- and he wants to get A+ and I'm not?.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are so self-aware.
