Week13 Problem and Solution


          Today, I studied last lesson which is Problem and Solution. First, teacher began to explain what it is. We started to read an example that is about teen pregnancies and analyzed the text.

          Example: It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies make it very difficult for young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an infant. Fortunately, most teen pregnancies can be easily prevented by using birth control; however, even birth control is not 100% effective. The most effective way to prevent teen pregnancies is abstinence, which is 100% effective.

          Next, we opened the next page, she read a list of problem-solution markers and we repeated after her. After that, we did the Skill practice by circling the Problem Markers and highlighting the Solution Markers. This below as an example.

         In my opinion, this lesson is more benefit. I can find the problem and solve from word marker. It's difficult but I will try to practice. And I was excited all the time

         
         Finally, I use strategies is skimming and scanning when I read the paragraph. I think I should study about vocabulary before to study in class. And prepare more to learn in reading.

Week12 Definition and Classification (continue) and Exemplification



           On Monday 10th April, I learned the Definition and Classification continued. We read text 2 about species of whales. We highlight the discourse markers in the text.

            We answered questions that which statement is true (T) ir false(F). Teacher gave new sheets for us that was Exemplification and explained some information of this lesson. Exemplification writing uses specific, vivid examples for the purpose of adding more information to explain, persuade, define, or illustrate a general idea.We read the text 'College students' Pressures', completed the diagram, and highlighted the exemplification markers.
         
           We read the text 2 'Fun things to do in Great Falls'. After that, we found the main idea that was 'There are many ways to have fun in Great Falls without spending a Fortune.’ highlighted the places in the text. We did exercise by matching the place with the activities, underlined them in the text, and highlighted discourse markers.

           Next, we read text 3 which showed the examples of hazards in the home that jeopardize a child's safety.We answered the questions correctly and highlighted the examples of hazards in the home, the way to eliminate the danger, and discourse markers.
Then, we read text 4 carefully.The text was "What is Language", circled all the expressions which have the same meaning as for example, drew a line under all the examples, and completed the sentences.

           Finally we saw the video presentations about how to make some food of my friends.

          I think this lesson is interesting for me and have benefited for the study about reading. This lesson is easy to understand. My attitudes to this lesson is very good.

Week11 Definition and Classification


            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.
