Extensive Reading

                                                       Extensive Reading
                                   17 October 2016

       

       In the 17th of October 2016, that is the 11th class in this semester. I learned about Extensive reading.

Extensive reading is reading as much as possible, for your own pleasure, at a difficulty level of which you can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as you go. In other words, instead of spending a half hour decoding a tiny part of one book (also known as intensive reading), you read many simpler books that are at or slightly below the level at which you read fluently. This lets you get used to reading more complex sentences with ease, reinforces the words you already know and helps you learn new words from context.

In the first of class, we did pre- reading exercises ( P. 28 ) and then we read " Simply read " by Finding references, Scanning, Skimming, Preview subtitle, Making inferences skill. Next, we had to a summary of each paragraph.We did exercise page.31 - 32 , then the teacher gave us corrective  feedback.

Nothing was easy today because the text was academic, there are a lot of words that I don't know, so I had to find it in the dictionary.

I think this lesson is quite boring because the text is academic, so I can't do exercises well.

Scanning

                                                                      Scanning
                                                     10 October 2016



   In the 10th of October 2016, that is the 10th class in this semester. I learned about Scanning.

How to read scanning
1. Find keywords
2. Locate information

The teacher assigned we had to work in a group and then , we had to do all exercises in this sheet ( P.65 - 82 ) Started from the first passage , Hotel dining , Reader's Digest , Index , Information , Newport , Light Plane Crashes , Biography of Mel Columcille Gibson  etc.

The good point of this lesson is very useful. It helps me to read faster from the pass but the difficult is the first of class , I've never try to practice read by scanning before so I use time a lot.

                                              3 October 2016




     In the 3rd of October , 2016 that is the 9th class in this semester. I learned about West meets East continue from last week ( Page 106 - 113 ) First of class , the teacher answered the exercise that we did ( 106 - 108 ) After that we had to thought and talked with partner about question when you met foreigner , then we took turn with other group to asked each other.We did exercise page 109-110 It's Vocabulary part.Tried to predicted answer of passage ( Page 111)  When we finished to predicted about story of  passage ' Expat in Asia '  we had to read passage by skimming , scanning , guessing word meaning skills and then we had to answered the question page 113 


The easy that I found is Vocabulary part , I can do it well but the words of this lesson isn't familiar , I've never seen a lot. So I had to found it on dictionary online and asked friends who sat beside me. 


I think this lesson is very a little bored because it's so hard although it's very useful and important. Especially,Thailand submitted to Asian ,  we had to know traditional , goods or  whatever that about west.

         I think it was not easy to understand because there are many difficult words that I didn't know then I had to asked friends and found it in dictionary online.


         If my university has decided that all female students should have long hair and all male students have crew cuts I'll disagree with this rule because I think if they have short hair or whatever it's not affected  to your education but it depend on your brain.Although you have a short hair or dreadlocks you can clever too.

Fashion

                                   Fashion
                                         12 September 2016



       In the 12th of September , 2016 that is the 8th class in this semester. I learned about ' Fashion ' Last week the teacher assigned we to found and printed a person who we liked the clothes or any fashion that he or she wore.In the class , we had to discussed about the picture that we brought.After that we did exercise sheet ( Page 68- 72 ) We read the passage " Fusion ? Confusion! " Then we had to summary each paragraph.The teacher asked some one to wrote the summary each paragraph that we did on the whiteboard.The strategies that we used are skimming , scanning , read for  detail and predict.

       The easy part for me  is vocabulary about fashion because I knew the a lot of word about fashion  that why so easy for me.

       The difficult part is summary the passage, solution is I asked friends around me how to summary this paragraph and I read this passage repeatedly until I understood.

        I think this lesson is so very interested because I usually read magazine about holly wood fashion that made me know more fashion words.
