Using Games for Vocabulary Teaching and Learning

Vocabulary acquisition is increasingly viewed as crucial to language acquisition.Meanwhile,learning vocabulary is often perceived as a tedious and laborious process.Chinese students usually feel bored in vocabulary lessons because they have not changed their learning habits,such as writing word on paper,trying to learn by heart.To help students find vocabulary lessons more interesting,we can use games.This paper analyses the traditional method of teaching vocabulary is not effective,whereas there are some advantages of using games,such as,games bring in fun,games are motivating and create context for language use and then gives two examples of applying games in my vocabulary teaching.Students prefer games and puzzles.Games motivate and entertain students but also help them memorize and recall the material easily.The conclusion is that learning vocabulary through the games is an effective and interesting means which should be used in any classrooms.     

Computer Games

I like playing computer games more than any other games. I know four interesting games on the Internet. One is in 4399.com. one is in xuanxuan.com. the other two are in hao123. com. I like the games in xuanxuan.com best because they are very interesting. Many people think that playing computer games is bad for us. But I don't think so. There are many different kinds of games. Each game attracts (吸引) us with its special way. Some can train us on speed. And some such as action games, adventure games, detective games and so on can make us cleverer. Most of the games are good for us. But we'd better play computer games under parental guidance.     

Stylistic Analysis on English On-line Chat

Based on the fact that on-line chat has become the most developing language form in the information age, this article point out the stylistic features of on-line English chat. Though in written language form, such language is spoken language in nature, thus it is worthwhile to analyze this special phaenomenon in lexical and grammatical level.

Leaving now the questions of formal geometrical propositions, I proceed to enumerate a few games or puzzles which depend mainly on the relative position of things. Some writers regard draughts, solitaire, chess, and such like games as subjects for geometrical treatment in the same way as they treat dominoes, backgammon,     

Language Games in Communicative Language Teaching(CLT)

Games are an indispensible part of Communicative Language Teaching(CLT).They not only reduce EFL learners’ stress and increase their learning motivation,but also improve their communication competence and promote fluency.It is advocated that games should be implemented by EFL teachers in CLT,meanwhile paying attention to the communicative characteristics of games in the application and design of games.     

Ensemble learning HMM for motion recognition and retrieval by Isomap dimension reduction

INTRODUCTION Now more and more motion capture systems are used to acquire realistic human motion data. Due to the success of the Mocap systems, realistic and highly detailed motion clips are commercially available and widely used for producing animations of human-like characters in a variety of applications, such as simu- lations, video games and animation files. Therefore an efficient motion data recognition and retrieval technique is needed to support motion data processing, such as mot…     

俄罗斯方块的心理效应

Shapes fall from the sky,all you have to do is to control how they fall and fit within each other.A simple premise,but added with an annoyingly addictive electronica (电子音乐) soundtrack (based on a Russian folk tune) and you have a revolution in entertainment. Fascinating Tetris 令人着迷的俄罗斯方块 Since Tetris was launched on the world in 1986,millions of hours have been lost through playing this simple game.Since then,we've seen games consoles(便携型游戏机)grow in power,andwith it the appearance of everything from Call of Duty(游戏名,"使命的召唤")to World of Warcraft(游戏名,"魔兽世界").Yet block and puzzle games like Tetris still have a special place in our hearts.Why are they so compelling?     

全新在线滴定技术的研究与应用

A new on-line titration method and device based on a new technique-continuous flow titration is described.By the means of electronically controlled switching of a solenoid valve,the main component of the system,the equivalent point of the titration is easily determined.Several kinds of mixing tools were examined.whereby a self-made mixing chamer with minimum volume gave best results and was therefore used in the dveice,The error of the titration is within 0.2% and the relative standard deviation(RSD) is below 1.2%,The results show no difference compared with a commercial device,meanwhile the new on-line titration system is cheaper and fully automated and thus easy to hand and less slovent consumption.     

What we know about ST13, a co-factor of heat shock protein, or a tumor suppressor?

This article is to summarize the molecular and functional analysis of the gene “suppression of tumorigenicity 13” (ST13). ST13 is in fact the gene encoding Hsp70 interacting protein (Hip), a co-factor (co-chaperone) of the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsc/Hsp70). By collaborating with other positive co-factors such as Hsp40 and the Hsp70-Hsp90 organizing protein (Hop), or competing with negative co-factors such as Bcl2-associated athanogen 1 (Bag1), Hip facilitates may facilitate the chaperone function of Hsc/Hsp70 in protein folding and repair, and in controlling the activity of regulatory proteins such as steroid receptors and regulators of proliferation or apoptosis. Although the nomenclature of ST13 implies a role in the suppression of tumorigenicity (ST), to date available experimental data are not sufficient to support its role in cancer development, except for the possible down-regulation of ST13 in gastric and colorectal cancers. Further investigation of this gene at the physiological level would benefit our understanding of diseases such as endocrinological disorders, cancer, and neurodegeneration commonly associated with protein misfolding.

Dickens,Influence on Bernard Shaw

Although the lifetimes of Charles Dickens(1812—70)and Goerge BernardShaw(1856—1950)overlapped for only fourteen years and,in a sense,theywere not writers of the same times,they were quite the same in many aspects.One was“the greatest representative of English critical realism”and offered“amost complete realistic picture of the English bourgeois society of mid-19th     

The Olympic Games and Ⅰ

On a hot summer night, Ⅰ went downstairs to cool off myself under the tree after Ⅰ played basketball with my friends. Ⅰ felt a little bored and sleepy. Then Ⅰ turned on the radio. The pro- gram was about the news of the Olympics Games in 2008. Ⅰ learnt that a lot of things would be done before the games were hold. The radio said that now we were improving the natural environment so that we would have a better place to hold the games, that we were bringing in and also self-researehing the high technology so as to help us hold the game more easily, and that we were enhancing our country＇s fame in history culture, economy achievement, politic function and so on. A picture began to form in my mind slowly.     

GA and PSO culled hybrid technique for economic dispatch problem with prohibited operating zones

This paper presents an efficient and reliable genetic algorithm (GA) based particle swarm optimization (PSO) tech- nique (hybrid GAPSO) for solving the economic dispatch (ED) problem in power systems. The non-linear characteristics of the generators, such as prohibited operating zones, ramp rate limits and non-smooth cost functions of the practical generator operation are considered. The proposed hybrid algorithm is demonstrated for three different systems and the performance is compared with the GA and PSO in terms of solution quality and computation efficiency. Comparison of results proved that the proposed algo- rithm can obtain higher quality solutions efficiently in ED problems. A comprehensive software package is developed using MATLAB.     

Using LBG quantization for particle-based collision detection algorithm

INTRODUCTION Collision detection is an important task in many fields such as robotics, computer games, computa- tional geometry (Gottschalk et al., 1996), computer simulation, virtual reality, etc. Most collision detec- tion algorithms work efficiently only with solid and rigid objects, so collision detection between de- formable objects is a challenge. A number of re- searches on non-rigid objects are proposed such as cloth simulation (Bridson et al., 2003; Teschner et al., 2004) and bi…
