[Week 11] Extensive reading

On Monday 17th October, the teacher taught us about “extensive reading”.  the teacher asked us to discuss with my partner about “what is the extensive reading” and “do you often read in English for your private study?” (If yes, what kind of reading do you do?). So, I replied that “reading on the Internet” and “reading from English study books”.

    After that, we thought the words about “research”. Then, I and my friends wrote the words on the whiteboard. The teacher embellished the words that about the research and explained the research methodology.

I used the previewing, finding references, and making inferences for reading the text.

[Week 10] Scanning

On Monday 10th October, we learned about scanning. After the teacher came, she gave me the handout. She taught me about “what is scanning” and “how to read by using the scanning. I did exercise and answered the question about Reader’s Digest, January, Index, information from job, flight, house advertisement, TV programmed, Light Plane Crashes and Biological.

 Scanning  is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.

  How to Scan :  

* State the specific information you are looking for.

* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.

* Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.

* Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

[Week 9] West meets East

    Last Monday, 3rd October 2016. I studied about West meets East. I learned a new vocabulary. I completed each sentence with the correct word. I talked to a partner and answered the question about celebrities, food, and products from Asia.

In addition, the teacher taught about previewing picture, scanning, skimming, guessing the words meaning from the context, and making inferences.
