Today, We learned about "Classic Ann Landers" When the class started, when the class started, she gave us read the letter of Ann Landers to advice to the problem others. After I read, I meet the vocabulary are difficult and I do not understand some content. I used skimming, scanning, finding the main idea. Then, she assigned me to do exercise. I got many vocabularies. I cannot do the exercise of this unit. I found difficult words, phrases and main idea.

I solve my problems by do exercises myself. Sometimes I asked my friends and found the some vocabulary before class.

Sometimes, I felt bad that I can't did exercise and not understand it, but I tried to practise and asked my friends about each problem.

Next, she gave us doing the exercise. There are eight short descriptions of books and novels. I read the description from each of books. I used the skimming to read and Scanning to find the details. I think I found difficult words. I don’t understand the meaning and vocabulary. I solve the problems are to find the meaning of words in dictionary online.It helped me a lot.

However, This lesson was very interesting because I like reading novels. I've read Harry Potter ,The Lord of The Rings and The Silence of The Lambs etc. I think reading the books and novels is the way to improve your English Reading Skill as well.
