The third case stud is about a Russian student, Iqor Zakarov. Iqor is a very clever student. He has got 3.8 on his GPA. But he got troubl in this semester. He have to hand in the research paper in May 1, but he did not do anything till April 24. So his friend send a paper to him. After he hand in it, his profersor find it out and then call Iqor to the office.
The first solution is to start doing the research paper when he got it. As he have longer time to do it, he can do the research paper bit by bit, instead of finish it within a short time. No matter how weak he is, he can show something to his profersor at less.
Getting help from friends is also a method. When more people is helping him, the research paper can be finish faster.
I think do the research paper when he got it is the best method to finish. If he find his friends to help him, the paper can not show his ability. So the best solution is to do it bit by bit since he recive the homework.

Title of film:Coach Carter
Actor:Samuel L. Jackson
Director:Thomas Carter
Type of film: Drama
Summary and analysis
The movie is about a college basketball team,Richmond and its coach, Carter. Richmond was a very bad team which only won 4 game last year. This year, the team has a new coach, Carter. At the first day, Carter require the crew to sign the contract. The contract requires them to get GPA of 2.3. which mean they only need 934 of SAT score. The purpose is to let the crew have the chance to go to college because most of student in Richmond can not go to college and some of them will go to jail or dead in 16-24. The team trained very and then they win 16 games without losing anyone of them. After they won the tourmant, Carter know the crew is lazy and not going to class so that Carter lock the gym and force the crew to study. During their study time, they give up 2 game. The community think Carter should let them play the game and unlock the gym. When Carte want to quit, the crew keep on study and they finally get the GPA 2.3.
The story told us that the community only want to have the honor but they never think about the furture of those student. Coach Carter want to make every crew not only thinks about their game but also their furture.
Relation to case
The crew do not go to the class and Mei do the same thing. The crew do not get a good grade due to missing classes and Mei also.
Reaction to film
I think the problem of the Team Richmond is also a problem all oer the world. The sociaity only looking for someone's success but they never think about how and why they success and what is their furture. The film and the case study also show me that if I want the get better grade, i need to go to the class and study after class.

The second case study is about a student from mainland China, Mei Chang. She is going to study computer science. But during to her poor English, she can not understand what the other talking about. Also, she do not have enough confidence to speak. As the result, she cannot understand the lesson and she never ask any questions or give any opinion.
The first solution is feeling comfortable to speak at the class. When she speaks at the class, no matter what she say, she got a chance to pratice English. When she say something wrong, her teachers and classmates will have the chance to help her.
Asking question is also a good way to slove her problem. As Mei's teachers can know how Mei understand the lesson when she is asking questions, her teachers can give her more apporiate help and let her keep track on the lesson.
Also, watching American TV-series and movie is a good way to learn English. Mei can find some TV-series and movies which she is interested in to watch. While she is watching the TV-series and movies, she can learning how to speak American English bit by bit.
The best solution is feeling comfortable to speak in the class. As she participates in the class, her classmates will start to talk with her. Once she starts to talk, more conversation will come. The reason that I don't choose asking question as the best solution is asking question can not provide a base for longer conversation which cannot give Mei enough pratice. During to the same reason, watching TV-series and movie cannot provide a chance for Mei to speak.
