Week10 Cause and Effect

            On Monday 3rd April, We started to study new lesson that was Definition and Classification. She explained the examples and showed some common definition and classification markers .

define = to say what the meaning of something, especially a word, is

classify = to divide things into groups according to their type

            I looked and read examples and explanation. Second, I did skill practice 1 and skill practice 2. Next,I read the text answered the question about “ What is Anthropology?”.

            I think the lesson is difficult for me because when I read the text sometime I don’t understand the meaning and vocabulary about the text has difficult too, so it hard for answer the question in activity.

            Finally, I think I should learned more about vocabulary and practice pronunciation. I should study before come to the class.

            Next, we started reading in the last text which is Men and Women : Do They speak the Same Language? that Deborah Tannen write You just Don't Understand, this book discusses the many difficulties men and women have in communicating with each other and helps men and women to communicate better. After we had read the text already, we answered the questions in order to check the comprehension. Finally, she assigned us to answer the questions.

1. Do you agree with Tannen's views on the subject? Be specific about your points of disagreement.

In my opinion, I agree with Tannen's views. Men and women have difficulties in communication because they are raised differently. They also have different opinion lead to anger and hurt feeling, and the ways to handle conflict differently.

2. Are any of Tannen's points about the different personalities of men and women true in your native culture? Explain. Do men and women in your native culture use the language the way Tannen claims American men and women do? Give specific examples.

Men and women have differences of their communication because they are brought up to handle conflict differently.Most of Thai women ,she often uses the silent to tell men when she is not satisfied with something that men do and think the men will know how she feel. She tries to avoid open argument but men don't understand. 

            I think the texts are quite easy. The discourse markers can help me to find the similarities and differences. I think that this lesson is important in reading. I can compare each of things and know that what is better.

            We took a long time because the text is very long and have many rules.I think exercise was easy and summaries the topic was difficult.My attitude towards This week.I think!! I enjoyed and funny this week because I love to cook very much.

            Teacher assign us to do the homework to find meaning about the markers to point out comparison and contrast, and to do all the exercises and we  had taken midterm test for 1.30 hour.
