The sources above is about marriage rate decline in the United States. Decline　of marriage rate is also a big issue in Japanese society today. Once, I had a survey about relationships of college students, I am curious about connection between marriage rate and states of relationships of young generation.

 Firstly, I thought zotero is such a complicated content. However, as we got to know about it, I found it quite useful. Every time I write an essay, I struggle with source citation. Even though I try to make it perfect, I usually fail it. I do know that zotero isn't always correct. It is still helpful to organize sources and cite them. It will contribute to make my academic life more efficiency and organized.

People cannot get away from relationships.

      My survey was about relationships and dream dates. I created this survey, just because I was curious about how others think about those kind of things.

     

     This graph shows how many people in my section have girlfriends/boyfriends. I expected many more respondents would have ones because I think all my classmates are quite friendly and attractive. They may be  focusing on study at this time:)

     

     Next graph shows how often they've been in relationships. Almost all respondents answered sometimes. I guess this is an average for the people who are around my age.

     

     Third question was about their dates. I asked them which date they prefer. There were four choices, movies, park, library and shopping. As you can see, movies took the first place and park took second. I can say about half of them prefer indoor date and others like active one.

     Last one was about dream dates.Every single answer was nice and sweet. Most popular one was going to Disney land, where is always ideal place for all ages(If it's not to you, sorry!). Some respondents answered that they don't need to do anything special but chatting or staying with their lovers is enough. I found this pretty sweet:) 

This survey was quite interesting after all. Now what do you think about the result?? Is it like you expected?? In the end,  I greatly appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!!!

Homework: My Summary of Using Technology for Study

  
   The skills that I am going to learn in this class will help me in some ways, such as finding appropriate and rational sources quickly. When I search for some sources for my academic papers, there are thousands of webpages written about the topic I am studying. However, not all of them are worthy trustful or rational. For example, many students use Wikipedia as a source, even though there might be uncertain and sometimes wrong information. We need to know how we can find the appropriate information and how we can find it worthy trustful. In addition, we have not only a homework but a lot. The better it is, the sooner to find the sources.

   I am actually quite comfortable with using technology in my life as a student. My main gadgets are phone, laptop and electronic dictionary. I use then mostly when I am writing papers or reading in foreign languages. It is much easier to look up the words that I don't know with my phone or electronic dictionary. I don't go against the paper dictionary. I think they are great. However, using those electronic devices keep me concentrating on what I am doing because I can search what I want to know exactly and quickly.

  So, this is all. See you soon, Thank you for reading:)))))
