short story to the foreign students and show our commnicating and creative skills in SL 

which is full of imagination and possibility. After dicussion, the text we select and recreat is 

All members crew!

the famous movie called "九品芝麻官" by 

Steven Chow. The setting is at the ancient 

China,and the story is about the shadow 

andevil side in the aspect of government. 

For more information, I recommend you 

go for watching by yourself ! What's more, 

this  is the comedy so we decide to creat a

new version of this!

    Bulid! Build! Build!

court

      
        To give a vivid image, we start

buildingthe world which is familar to the

setting in the movie. Frist of all, the court,

luckily the SL market provides thousans of

objects which can be used in the world of

SL,such as funiture or electronic products 

even a set of room. So we find two sets of 

bedroom and court! 

We hope this method can make the movie more convicing to the audience.

Good Luck!

     
      However, the process of building has

a long way to go. Just keep following the

[Online English Learing] 2014501 Let's build and talk!

Let's bulid and talk!

    New stuff

        

        For the third time in SL , we are trying to explore further functions in SL. There are two 

main functions we use, building and talking!

    Building!

       
        When you are traveling the world of SL, there are thousands of objects which can be 

constructed by users. For example, trees, houses with different cultural style and so on. In

another thinking way, the buliding function is not only viewed as the satisfaction which

imitates the real world but as the 

expression of personal consciousness. 

  In the first picture captures our group 

homeland. At the same time you can see 

some new objects under construction like

definitely give the big appulase to every 

bulider on account of  the diffculity to make

use of the function well. Finally, I also bulid a

concrete which can serve a chair also 

there is my name on it!

Talking!

       
        The second function we try is the 

talking function. In this function, users can 

easily communicate by the microphone. 

However, when lots of users come 

together, it will be a  disaster that

many sounds and voice will crash you listening.

So,maybe nextime I will think carefully and use wisely to this function!

[Online English Learing] 2014410 Second Journey in Second Life

Second Journey in Second Life (2014 410)

        This is the second time for Second Life. From the first time experience, the technical 

  problems had been removoed! So this second experience was great!

Changing Style

My avatar

       

    There is no questions that in Second Life, thousands of clothes, outfits or races can be 

selected as you wish. For me, I also tried lots of styles for fun like the dog, cat, car even the 

robot. At last, I still pick up human forms as the final decision, but I had used the function in 

SL to make some difference for his height or the size of the eyes.

 

The Union!

Class members

        After the personal time for the class, it 

was time for all the members to unite in 

order  to  travel the world of SL! When we all 

got together to the pointed spot , what 

amazed me was that the outfits from 

everyone! It was fantastic that the creativity 

to their own avatar from the whole class, of 

course this special moment should be captured!

 

Mutilple social interaction 

Showing Muscles!

        

  Beside the function of typing 

message to get interacction with others, 

lots of "gestures" also can be used to 

reflect one'sfeeling or expression. Some 

interesing gestures such 

us"chickens'',"flying" ,"smoking",etc. 

These gestures give the vivid  impression 

to the way of social interaction.

 Travel the old memory

   After the union, we are lead to the construction wich were be made by the previous class. 

The construction included many subjects we can see in the reality like the pool, house, 

maze. The world of SL is consisted of the reality also combined with the imagination, these 

two elements all together to create the digital life which satified the audiences' needs of 

reality and fantasy at the same time.

[Online English Learning] 20140313 First experience in Second life

First picture

       

        Due to the technical problems, the several computers I changed wasted me many time to run "Second

Life". Finally, I have found the computer which was kind of more functional than before. So, this is the only

one picture I took in the emergency.
     
        Before I played this game, what I recognized was that this is the game similar to another game "The

Sims". In "The Sims", it also provided  the player to play the avatar to live in the digital world, such as

drinking drunk, dancing in the bar or building own house. However, in Second Life, there is more freedom

for players to create or build homes or lands, even the XXX places. So the freedom in this game to draw

the reality with the modern society is the most amazing thing for all time.

       Finally, this picture is the secret place Emma gave the whole class (BTW, thanks for Emma's $1000!). I

am looking forward to the development in the future such as meeting the people all over the world, playing

different theme park and so on. What amazes me most so far is......... FLYING!!!!!
