Next, I started to do the test. After I had already done it, I sent the answer sheet to the teacher. And she taught to continue on last Sunday. the article was " The Effects of Stress ".

             We read and answered the questions together and I used how to find cause and effect markers for reading easily. I think that it was easy for me because I just knew that when I concentrate to study,but I found the problems in reading difficult words and incorrect pronunciation.

It is  Men and Women:  Do They Speak the Same Language? and then she request someone to be a volunteer for writing their opinions on the white board in the topic that " Differences between the language of Men and Women ". I think that the paragraph reading is very important for everyone but some vocabulary that I didn't know the meaning of each word. I found the problems in reading difficult words and incorrect pronunciation and I cannot understand  in the text.I solved problems are used skimming, scanning, and  open dictionary on my smartphone and Cambridge dictionary online.  Thank you for reading.

She  shown the conditional markers for reading and finding about this sort of comparison and contrast. After that I read the text 2 about " Hurricane Andrew and HurricaneKatrina " and finding to show comparison or similarities - both, same, similar, to resemble, common, like etc. I found the most difficult about  this lesson but it is easy in somethings. When I read the text that not understand in some words that are difficult. I will use dictionary to find the meaning of each word that I want and used the strategies in  reading these are skimming, scanning and finding the discourse markers.

                    

Procedure

 

Today is Sunday. I learned about the "procedure" and " compare and contrast " She shows how to make Banana Shake, Banana cake omelet and chicken soup . on the slide , etc. in each picture describes the methods and ingredients .

 

Then do the exercises with the text of the message is to tell the reader what to do or make something. I do not exercise on an omelette recipes - each sentence with the correct picture. Then put each sentence in the correct order. Next, I do not exercise much about how to make chicken soup - a recipe read and answered. questions.And Read how to use a toaster oven - read this and answer questions.

I think this lesson is easy for me because I was able to grasp and understand the messages received for reading . When I read that , I tend to use the properties of steps (instructions ) for reading ease. Sometimes I use the dictionary on your smart phone for help to find the meaning that I do not know .
