overview of my subject area

My subject is about international finance.Now, the world economic have a serious financial crisis.So I think it's a challege. When I do my subject, I think I can choose a lot problem to study.
When you go to buy a underground ticket, you can find the price is more expensive than before. When you go to the market to buy some food, you must spend more than before. So I think my subject is very useful. I can use it to solve some problem in my life. I will try my best to study it.

Reflective writing on the Pre-sessional course anduniversity study

As the time go, I have studied in the London metreplitan university about 6 month. During this time, I think my English is improve better than before. When I study in the school, I have a lot of time to talk with the foreign people to improve my speaking skill. And I also have a lot of time to listen teacher said. I think it is very important for me to improve my listening. Although I didn't speak more in the class, But I always to listen careful.
But I did't to do well with some new word. It's difficult to learn some new words. So when I write some essay, I can't use some acdemic words. I decide when I contiune to study in the university, I must to learn a lot of new word in the futher.
I suggset that when you study the English course , you must to do a lot homework by your self. If you don't study by yourself, you can't improve more in the English ability.

Library resourse for globalisation research

Because I should write something about globalisation.So I like to go to library to do some rearch. At wensdany afternoon, I go to the library to find some books which is related to the globalisation, and some about my subject. I used the computer to do the rearch. I found my book is in the first floor. I found it is diffcult to find some book. But I need some book to do my essay. So I try my best to found.
I found four books. The books title is:

Listen to the Obama speech.

In this week , Obama is the 44th president of America. When I finish my homework, I go to the internet to find the video about Obama's speech. This video is about 20 minute. I can't listen so clearly about the speech. But I can understand a little about his speech.At first, he said there is a hard work wait he to do. Because grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. Then he go back to the before period. He said American is at war, and a lot of people lost the work. The finance is very weak now. The challenges they face are real. They are serious and they are many.
Obama said American remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. He said the American worker is remain stronger, The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.
He said a lot in the speech. I don't mind what he said. I will pay more attention about what he do in the next few year. Does he can improve the world economic better? Does he can help the world to defeat the finance crisis? Does he can make the world more peaceful than before?

Homework

Most economists would agree that due to the credit crunch, global markets are facing potential collapse (Stiglitz, 2008; Monbiot, 2007). As we know, our current recession began in the USA where banks got into the habit of granting mortgages to lenders unable to pay them back. This created a liquidity crisis in the country which banks and government were unable to resolve, and soon these economic difficulties spread to the rest of the world (BBC News, 2008).
The globalisation of finance have a big effect on all people who live on the earth. How the globalisation effect the global markets?
In this essay, I will argue that we have to radically assess the 20th Century philosophy of free trade and globalisation due to the failures we've experienced recently in global markets. I will begin by looking at how this philosophy was based on an erroneous logic and then go on to describe the ways in which it has set us back with regard to financial efficiency and growth. I will then go on to discuss the ways in which I think this current crisis will affect future research in my subject area International Banking and Finance
