Keeping a good mood

In my podcast, I want to talk about another content of my topic, which is keeping a good mood.

There is another way to overcome the sub-health condition for college student is that keeping a good mood. Because in psychology, mood affects the health and mood is an important role in physical health. If students have good moods could affect their study and life directly, so that affects their health indirectly. For example, a student does not have a good mood for some reason, so that he cannot focus his attention on his study, his grade will fall, then his mood will become more and more worse, which will affect his health. Therefore, I will talk about the mood part that affect students’ health in my podcast.

The different between text and podcast are the content, the words and phrases, the examples, etc. Content should be more interested so that students would like to hear it. The words and phrases should be vivid, and it could include some interviews, some short talks between students, professor and students. The example should be easy to understand, like give them more advises how to relax their moods. To sum up, the content of podcast is different between the texts; it needs more colorful and interesting things, just like the difference between book and the movie script.

In podcast, I should use three different ways to persuade my audience, which are ethos, logos, and pathos. These three ways are so significant because using them could make the audiences to believe. Ethos means the information that you introduce to audience should be exactly right, it cannot be wrong. Logos means you should use logic ways to persuade your audience, but not mess, which is not a scientific or effective way. Pathos means in your podcast you should add your emotion but not just read your script without any feeling in it. Therefore, I will use these three ways to write my script of my podcast to persuade my audience and introduce information to them as well.

Revise my first draft

The first draft of my project has a lot of problems. Professor Rebecca revised my first draft and sent it to me with email, which helped me a lot to revise me first draft. The first draft is too simple which does not have the background, pictures, hyperlinks, and the recommended reading. The audiences that I need to focus on. There shouldn’t be the first person in the paper because the paper that uses other resources to write which is not the author’s opinion. I also need to improve my writing skill, like I should use some connected phrases to make my paper smoother. The format should be single space which is the requited by the webpage. The font and the size of my title and sub-title should be over striking and bigger than the size of the context. I should also highlight my thesis statement as well. Therefore, making my paper as much clearly and beautiful as better.

I did not see my peer review in the facebook discussion webpage. Maybe my partner forget to post it. Therefore, I cannot write the peer review part here.
