Blog 13 (lesson 2 reflection)


1. One thng I loved about the whole experience was that its n ot difficult to rech 10 minutes of talking time, fluency is a bit harder. Which is something I can work on.
 
2. a. I would give my self a p- I meet talking time stuttered a bit but overall it was not bad
 
b. All my information was related to my Eq maybe to the exception of one which was the spark plugs, The thing about them is you cant really see them anyways, my mistake.  
 
3. what worked was the pictures I felt that people were easily able to understand the parts of the car with visuals. If I just named parts of a car with no visuals a good majority of the people whould have no clue what I was talking about.
 
4. What I would have done was maybe take off spark plugs, I must have been caught up with performance and forgot out about appearance.
 
5. Something to do with modification, because to refurbish something it means to make better than what it was before, modifying lets you do this.

Senior Project: The holiday




1.
Over break I fixed my mentor and I did an oil change on my sisters car, and found out that the struts in the car have been severely damaged because of the poor job of a mechanic who recently replaced the shocks. This was bad news to my sister, but the good news is that the engine for my mentors Honda civic is going to be bought this Saturday which we will be working on all day.

2.
The most important thing I have learned is, when doing work in a car, the work must be done in with the best quality. If not you risk damaging your vehicle, I know so from the example of my sisters car and the time my mentor and I applied paint in the cars interior; and it started to chip of because of the sun heat.

3.
I would either talk to my mentor or my neighbor Alex. Alex works for triple A, and has a car of his own. He is pretty savvy when it comes to cars, because I've seen him work on them since I was a little boy.
