Comparison and Contrast (continued)

                   

             Today is Monday, I studied to continue on Sunday about  " Comparison and Contrast ". When the class started Dr. Usa checked the name of students in class attendant. The teacher answered  the homework that she gave. 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.

Comparison and Contrast

                In the afternoon, I studied to continue the morning. the content was " Comparison and Contrast ". When the lecturer started to teach the new lesson, she taught us how to read the texts about comparison and contrast. 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 .

Descriptive

on 1 February, 2016. I had the quiz test for 10 points. It was difficult.Today I learned about “Descriptive” – Descriptive text is a text which says what a person, a thing or a place is like. The text was about “Komodo Dragon (Varanus Komodoensis).” . I thought that the text today was easy because It was near my life but it had some difficult words. I would find out the meaning of words on my mobile. And then, she taught us about how to make the mind map for themes. It would be helped us for understanding the text easily. She gave us reading the text and answered the questions based on the text of Komodo Dragon. In my attitude with this course, this lesson was very important and useful for me because it will help us to able for describing and reading the descriptive text clearly and easily.

 

"Narrative" Continue

On Monday 25, January 2016.I learned about "Narrative;Secrets by Tim Winton-part two." to continue last week. When the class began, the teacher told us to read the story of Secrets' part two and did the exercise because she had a meeting and told us that she would go back after 1 hour. She came back and answered the exercise. And then, we ordered to produce a summary of the second part  of the story that " Kylie watches the hen sitting on ten eggs.She takes the lid off the well. She started to go down the well with her photo album every day. She watches philip and her mother and wonders why her father is not with them. I feel sorry for Kylie because she wasn't taken care of her mother. I disapprove of Kylie's mother because why? She didn't take about Philip's relationship with her.The story was easy because the story progressed from part one therefore It made us easily for undetstanding. I used how to find text organization and language features in reading the text. 

" Narratives "

On Monday 18 January 2016, I lesson about " Narratives ". The teacher described about Narratives and I did activities " Secrets ". I answered questions in circle and tether line between the answer. The shape each friends it had different because the answers had different. Second, activities I read the text in part one. The story was about " Kylie's secret." When I read the text I can summary with friends and I went in front the class for writing the main idea of the text. I think this lesson is difficult to study for me because when I studied I can not understand meaning and write the summary this text. When I read the text, I used  skimming and scanning in reading. And sometimes I used my mobile for helping found vocabularies in dictionary online. In the class I talked to my friends about the text for finding the answers and write the summaries.
