When I first heard SL I believe that SL is nothing to do with study or learning but just online game. However, after two weeks explore and study(read articles and write article review) I think SL is very interesting and it is a good platform to learning English because people from all over the world are using SL nowadays.
When the first time to explore SL, I had no idea about where I should go and visit, so I decided to follow others. I found Moya art museum, which is one of the most popular destinations.
However, I walked around but I didn’t meet anyone there, and since visual art is not my thing, I decided to move to somewhere instead.
Another popular destination I found was Peace Valley pet cemetery. I didn’t understand why graves could be popular, so I just moved there and check out.
To be honest, I’d rather regard this like a quiet park instead of cemeteries. It is very beautiful with blooming flowers everywhere. I even found a fountain and rainbow. If there were no tombstones, I believe I will take it as a big garden or a small park.
I found this and I feel so bad and I am so sorry for those people whose loved pets left them. I once had a kitten, but my family had to move to another city and I cannot keep her any longer, so I gave her to my best friend. So I can totally understand that.
After visiting pet cemetery, I went to a island which is part of the University of Sheffield in UK. I visited a school names Infolit School. This school now used by Sheffield University’s information school, including the Center of Information Literacy Research and the School of Education.
Since I am a christian and I have a strong interest in my religion, I moved to ST.PAUL’S CATHEDRAL after I spent some time at Infolit School.
A glorious and splendid cathedral
My final destination was Caribbean beach. I met some people there, and we had a nice talk. Unfortunately, my laptop’ microphone just broken, so I can’t use it to chat with people, I have to type.
For the past two weeks, I didn’t visit as many places as others in SL, hopefully I can explore more this week. My laptop is getting old and sometimes it will be very hard to surf on the SL with my old laptop. I went to the tech center in AUT but I cannot download SL because I have to get the permission from admin.
Ji Yuan - you can use the computers in WT1205. They are fast and powerful and I can download second life for you as my office is next door. WT1205 is also like common room for the MENMS students.
