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.

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.

my English skills such as blog, video, online games, computer, and search
engine. I read about podcasts and answered question in the exercise. I
discussed about technology with my friend.
How to enjoy the benefits of
technology today
1. Use It to Learn
Use
it to access information for your learning. Many years ago we couldn’t imagine
that we can get to know new information without going out of the house. Mothers
examined new recipes from the book that they borrow in the libraries. Fathers
bought newspapers to learn the updated information from business, economy and
society. Students all evenings spent in the libraries to write the report,
project or academic paper. Today information is easily accessed thanks to the
Internet. Meanwhile, online courses are accessible to the students who are
unable to attend traditional educational buildings because of health or other
complications. It is a convenient way to study.
2. Use It to Communicate
Technological
advances now enable us to communicate in a huge variety of ways from social
media to mobile phone, email video, email to fax and more. One such example is
using it for business communication. Business communication often relies on the
use of technology to connect and facilitate the flow of information among
individuals, groups, and organizations. Technologies for e-mailing, messaging,
video conferencing, and document sharing in most organizations are fully
integrated into how work is conducted and how people interact.

3. Use It to Entertain Yourself and
Others
Before
there were electronics, people found simple ways to entertain themselves:
Curling up with a good book, knitting by the fire, listening to the radio, and
playing Bridge. There was no such thing as cable television, boom boxes, or
computers, but now technology enabled us to entertain ourselves in many more
different ways. Technology has provided us with even more creative ways to
occupy our time.
