One day I had an English 300 reading response due the next day, and that day I had worked too. However, I got 100% on my reading response. The reading response was on Brian Williams’s essay “Enough about You”. In the essay, he talked about the negative consequences of social media. At work, I did the assigned tasks. In addition, I thought about the impact of social media on our lives. In this way, I developed the ideas which I would discuss in my reading response, and I wrote them down on a piece of paper. None of my coworkers even noticed because I was doing my job efficiently: I did the preparation of meat, counted the cash in the cash register, helped the customer, and closed the day. Learning the course material and helping the customer at the same time makes me realize that (Transition) I’m good in multitasking too (Subordinate Idea). I’m often doing household chores and studying at the same time. For instance, most of the time I’m memorizing the content for a test or I’m reading the textbook when I’m either doing laundry, cooking, cleaning or folding clothes. I keep a book and a laptop on one side, and I learn it using my eyes and mind. On the other side, I do household chores using my hands. Wait a second. Don’t make the hasty conclusion that I’m intellectually perfect. As we know, there is always a space for improvement in every aspect of our lives. Therefore, I still need to polish my cognition to make it shine. Since, I have sound body and sound mind, therefore I also have a sound soul. As said by Maka Albarn: “A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound

I feel that the speech that you chose was very unique. Robin Williams was such an amazing person and he truly connects with the audience every single time he speaks. I agree on how important it is for a speaker to maintain eye contact at all times to demonstrate respect and that he put effort at learning the words and at the same time being extemporaneous. Confidence is also a very important factor and Williams showed it throughout the whole speech. You did a wonderful job, just remember to include the main points and how he managed to pass from one point to another.

Bill Cosby believes that it is crucial to learn the proper English language. He does not believe that African-Americans have fought this hard to get an education, for the younger generation to not take full advantage of leaning to speak English properly. I do not agree with Cosby because I do not believe that there is anything wrong with younger people communicating in African American Vernacular English. Although this is true, I can argue that Cosby is correct to a certain extent, because African Americans have fought to be educated while it seems that youngsters give up much easier on learning. I do not think that Smitherman would agree with Bill Cosby.

Apps like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and Buzzfeed can cause a decrease in the overall products of students’ works and an increase in the amount of time needed to complete the product because of the incessant notifications that show up on an individual’s screen every five minutes. In a 2011 study conducted by Wade Jacobsen and Renata Forste on “Academic and Social Outcomes of Electronic Media Use Among College Students,” they concluded from more than 1,000 undergraduates that 2.45 hours are spent on the internet, and an hour is usually spent watching television.
