Today is Tuesday, In the morning I learned the first class is English Reading Strategics. Before we studied, the teacher had told us about the midterm test scores. I was disappointed when the score was not as hoped.

This class the teacher taugth me about "Extensive Reading" After that, she asked us to write words about "research on English language reading" in spider web on whiteboard.

We did the exercise and responded the questions of this handout. Then teacher answered exercises in worksheets together with guided us. I used the skimming skill by reading the title.

After that I had to exam,  I’m serious too much. I cannot do it and didn't answers many questions. I hadn’t finished the test. However, I believe I am doing my best.

The motto of ASEAN is

“ One Vision, One Identity, One Community.”

When the class stated,The teacher teach new unit “ASEAN Economic Community”. This topic is very interesting and I think it's easy for me. I have some background knowledge. Teacher give me and friend write text words about ASEAN community on the white board .I fond easy to know the name of ASEAN stands for The Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Then she opened video about community from youtube. Everyone interested to see this story. 

Next, She ordered to the student form in group disguss in advantages-disadvantages and how do you address such the impact? After that, each group presentation this topic. I think that it is very nice to practice our Speaking skill as well because we think and speak in English

I had to know strategies for find the answer . It is scanning skill and reading skill. My attitude toward this the lesson was I’m enjoy being a studying today.

Read Faster

Today, We had the reading English strategies class in the morning. The teacher taught me about  " Read faster."  She gave us discussing about obstacls to faster effective reading.

I’m not understand with the texts, Unknown word and stop reading and find unknown word. I would use scanning every word. It makes  reading in English slower.

The lesson is a guide to practice reading. On the topic is Hint for reading practice.  It is a good idea skim through the passage very quickly first to get the general idea of each paragraph.

For reading strategies, I used skim texts to find main gist and scan various texts to find specific information.

When the class finished, the teacher gave corrective feedback for me and my friend. My attitude toward this the lesson was I’m happy with this lesson because it would make my English better.
