I have been study in CLIP for almost one year. I had found many interesting knowledge and experience in my CLIP life. However, reading and having a discussion on a magazine in weekly is the most effective and interesting in my CLIP life.
I have been started CLIP in 2011. now, this is my second semester. But this semester is more interesting because we can get a "Time" magazine for every week. our teacher discusses with us every week. this is evey helpful for me because i can understand more about the world. a teacher told us, if you want to be success than you have to know more about the world and learn more about the world knowledge. therefore, when you teacher ask a question, you will have enough knowledge to answer that question. in addition, when you have a discusses with your teacher, you will learn more about your class. therefore, you will be success in college. another reason that to reading a "Time" magazine is i gain a lot of out side knowledge or information from this magazine; it helps me to write an essay. when i took the test call CAT-W, i did not have enough information to support my essay.this is the biggest reason that i failed on the test. after we have the discussion every week, i gained a lot of world knowledge. for example, the top 100 influential people in the world, about health, and economic. every time when we finished discussion, i have been felt that i can pass the CAT-W because i earned more knowledge today. now, i have enough knowlegde to support my essay.
world knowledge is always helpful for everyone, specifically for students.but most of this knowledge comes from news paper or magazine. having a discussion about the "Time" magazine every week is not only can help me to pass the CAT-W test, it can help me in my college and the rest of my life.
