10th Learning Reflection

We learned Comparison and Contrast continue from last week. We read text from Men and Women: Do They Speak the Same Language? ,then we analyzed distinction between the languages of men and women. Moreover, we found main idea from each paragraph, found discourse markers, answered the questions and matched signal expressions between thought relationships. Teacher assigned homework for us and write it on weblog.

b. Are any of Tannen’s points about the different personalities of men and woman true in your native culture? Explain. Do men and women in your native culture use the language the way Tannen claims American men and women do? Give specific examples.

And these are my point of view :

- Women are more social network of relationships than men.

 - Women are talkative.  

                                   

- Women have many friends from talking.

- Men like to talk with their friends more unknown person.

- Men talk in telling jokes with their friends.

Finally, we began to study new lesson : Cause and Effect.

We studied cause and effect markers

I found discourse markers in this text is easy for me. They help me in reading.

The vocabulary is difficult for me because I’m not good in vocabulary.

Therefore I consulted  dictionary. 

9th Learning Reflection

In this morning, we had midterm test!! I was excited. After that, we analyzed texts and completed the diagram about 

1.Subway systems of New York/Paris
2.Similarity and Differences between Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Andrew

Hurricane Katrina

Finally, we found discourse markers.

I think, if I knew meaning vocabulary, would understand the text.

Analysis texts is difficult for me because I’m not good in vocabulary.

So I consulted dictionary.

In my opinion, this lesson is hard for me but I will try my best.

8th Learning Reflection

We read “Learning a Second Language” in exercise 3. There are three ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.

1.To feel positive about learning English.

2.To practice your English.

3.To keep a record of your language learning.

 Then we searched main idea and answered the questions.
Finally, we began to study comparison and contrast

I think, the text was written to understand, but  I can’t understand meaning some vocabulary. So I consulted dictionary online. 

I love this lesson because the focus of instructional text is on a sequence of action and the structure is easily recognised.
