What I've learned in the gaming project／Andy

    Well I have played this game from several months ago. First time I played this online game just because of my curiosity. But I had no goal to finish in this game. I don't know how can I do, how should I do, or how to control  my avatar in this game. Things I only could do was just to explore the world of Second Life. It was very fun when I had begun to play this game, but soon it became increasingly boring. So I stopped to play this game until I chose this Online English Learning course.
    Actually, Second Life gives me a chance to be a new "I" in my life. Because it is like a copy of our real world, everything we do in our everyday lives can happen into this game. For example, you can by a book in the Amazon bookstore. Wow it seems very ridiculous. Amazon is an online store in our real world, it can't appear in this game. Maybe someone embezzles their brand. In fact, Amazon orders their employees to create a store for book selling business. The operating model is similar to  their real world model. That means, Second Life can represent our real life. It is a possibility to have a new life which we really want in our thinking.
    In this project, I got some friends coming from different countries. I had some conversations with them, and learned how I could do in this imaginary world. They told me I had to set a goal by myself, just like our real life. When you made some targets to finish, you would do things enthusiastically. What you had to do was just doing things you have in your own real world.
    This project is a new way for learning English. I think it works very well because we always are concentrated into gaming. With gaming we can learn many new words and have chance to learn how to chat in English. It is very helpful. I like this project very much LOL
