1. this essay first described how every member of family multitasking in their daily life. Then it talks about that people pay their almost all attention on the social media or other internet staff instead of communicating with others face to face. It also used a some evidence to show how multitasking influent people's psychological implications.
2. Actually multitasking is a very common word in our daily life now. It happens in the most time of my day. I listen music when I drive and watch TV when I eating. Those two examples are two tiny cases of my multitasking life. When I read this essay, I am impressed about the author's thorough analyze of multitasking. I learned a new word, generation M, through this essay. I also learned that actually we can't not use our brain to think about two things at same time. Multitasking means we do it in order but our brain is keeping switching between those tasks. Also, this essay talks about the influence of the common phenomenon that people more and more focus on social media instead of human connection and physical communications.
3. There is an assumptions in this essay provided in Wallis's essay:Multitasking would influence the value of a task. This assumption think that multitasking would decrease the quality of tasks even when people finish it. For example, the knowledge people get after they read a book. People would get more clear knowledge from this book when they just focusing on reading than they multitasks. So he said multitasking would decrease the value of thinking deeply. I agree with her opinion. I think people can do some unimportant things or some easy thing people could finish without thinking at same time. However, for those important thing, people need to focus on them, then people could get the satisfied value from it. I have a strong feeling when I do my coding homework. Coding homework requires a strong logic. When I really focus on it, I would get the result step by step easily. However, I have to recall after some thing disturbed me. It wasted my time. Even worse, I lost my original correct thoughts after the influence.

Children need to play, not compete
1. read to summarize
This essay is talk about that children need more play instead of competition. Writer used several examples and evidence to prove her position.
2. read to respond
After I read this essay, I am not that agree with the writer. I do think children don't need to compete in most of part; however, I think competition is useful to some parts. Writer talked about the sports, she think children should just need to enjoy the process of playing it instead of compete with other and try to get the champion. I think competition could help people to discover their potential. Since people need to try their best when they do a competition, people would do better than normal during the competition. Some people would never know they could do a amazing job because they are never did that under a high pressure.
3. read to analyze assumptions.
She assume that children would have less hurt if they have no competition. I couldn't agree with this assumption. Clearly, children would get hurt if they are careless even they are just play instead of doing a competition. Actually, I never did basketball competition, but I hurt my feet before when I just play with others. Moreover, there are a lot of professional coaches or tutors to help those children when they do a competition. Those coaches or tutors would teach them how to warm up and how to protect themselves. In addition, they would have more equipment to help them protect themselves. Thus, doing a competition is more professional and safe than playing without any protection.
