A Picture A Day (Week 8)

Analogical Thinking 2

As a continuance to week 7 lesson, we are instructed to answer some quizzes to ensure we have a certain level of understanding in analogical thinking. 

The quizzes taken are well-done as acquiring variety yet novelty question bank. The explanation also has been given for each question. Moreover, my English level can be improved indirectly due to the abstruse vocabulary used.


Question 13 and 14:
Association of ideas plays a vital role. We have to try analyzing deeper and finding the conterminous in between them. Capability to find clue within them and look for specific similarity, without seeing the ostensible things is very important. 

Question 3, 4 and 5:
Despite of the easiness of the question, I have run into a stone wall when recondite vocabularies pop into my eyes on account of my low English level. I have to know the meaning thoroughly before answering the questions or otherwise the effects and aims of learning can't br achieved if I done it imprudently. Thus, I can acquire knowledge to enrich myself simultaneously.

Siamese: A cat of a lightly built short-haired breed characterized by slanting blue eyes and typically pale fur with darker points.



Romaine: A variety of lettuce that grows in a tall head of sturdy leaves with firm ribs down their centers.



Finch: A small bird with forked or notched tails, moderately pointed wings, rounded or elongated bodies and rounded heads, with more or less triangular bills.



Dalmatian: A large breed of dog noted for its unique black or liver spotted coat.



Collie: A medium-sized, fairly lightly built dog, with a pointed snout.

Marsupial: An infraclass of mammals living primarily in Australasia and the Americas.

Question3 and 4:

Simple yet amusing questions as there have peculiar links in between them. Dispersion of items into reduced parts is also a technique performing analogical thinking.

 

Most of us consider figurative question is much easier than others. Perhaps we all are art students and pictures can also express the meanings and feelings appropriately. This can be branch of learning for me to attain the boundary: convey my conception well without using any single words.

Besides of assisting me to strengthen my English level and broaden my mind simultaneously, the quizzes also offer other ways for me to have a new cognition on analogical thinking, as saying goes, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, I will never be confined in any restriction and will seize the chance to integrate analogical thinking in other useful aspects. Sometimes I wonder I won't make any mistake if I could just concentrate a bit on it. But why don't I just take advantage of the occasion to emulate and pullulate from mistakes as we can't make zero-mistake in our lifetime.

' Learning from mistake doesn't shame you, it's just the pathway which must be taken to succeed. '
