On 28 August, 2016 Today was a made up class because we missed the class on 15 August, 2016.The first teacher reviews the lesson last week. And then we were started news story 4.Teacher gave me to read a news story so first we can use Skimming skills and answer the questions and wrote summarize about news story 4.

News Story 4

This news story was about “Japan earthquake: TSUNAMI hits north-east” it was happened on 11 March, 2011. North-East of Tokyo were affected by the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9 magnitudes. The casualties have been reported 350 people were dead and 500 people were missing.

And the after to summarize we read news story again and decide if each statement is true (T) or false (F) so we use scanning skills for answer the questions.

And complete each sentence with the correct word.

Today I think that it was easy for me is a used scanning skills and skimming skills to help in the read news and answer the questions. I think that was easy because it was basic and I think ever one can take it. I think that it was difficult for me was the word unfamiliar sometime I can guess the words or sometimes I used dictionary online.I can use reading strategies in reading text when I read a newspaper and I want to summary so I use Scanning and Skimming to help read it. In order to I can understand it easy.

The next time, I learned about Essential Skills.

- Predicting/ Activating Vocabulary  

      I can guess mean of the word by the word are unfamiliar.

- Skimming and Scanning 

      It useful to help in reading skills.I can read it fast and read a keywords that are important in the question and then can answer the question correctly.

- Reading for detail 

      When you read the passage you can analyze the passage.

 - Understanding References 

        Sometime in the passage will had a references, I can to knew that the word references it mean to what or who.

         Ex. Sumita and Phanuwat go to the restaurant in the evening. They are a relatonship.

         They  refer to Sumita and Panuwat.

- Vocabulary in context 

                                  To knew about mean of the sentences that is refer to what

                            Ex. A green or brow plant that grows in the ocean is   seaweed.

 Today,I think that it was easy to me

-I can identify the food are healthy or unhealthy.

-I can to improve reading skills.

-vocabulary was easy to me because it was vocabulary I knew.   

I think that it was difficult for me, It was predicting / activating vocabulary because the words are unfamiliar it was difficult to guess.

In course reading strategies, I can use to improve to reading skills. After this class I can predicting  or guess the words, I can read fast by I use skimming skills to help me, I can understand references and can to reading for detail.

This class it was fun and we are improve English skills because teacher teach the other skills and give opportunity to discuss in own group. It  useful to help speaking skills.

Identification food between unhealthy and healthy. And teacher explain to the rule

1.be punctual

2.Play attention to the lesson

3.Do not use cell phone in the class room

4.Do not cheat

5.Follow dress code policy and Listen while other are speaking and sharing.

                            

For first class, I thought have a something to easy for me …. Something it easy for me is the rule of class.

I found difficult it is vocabulary. Sometime word is a unfamiliar. I can solve the problem by remembering the words that are unfamiliar. The define and write down. Recite these words every day.

In course reading strategies, I can use to improve to reading skills. Sometime we go out and then I come across an article that cannot be done timely manner I can used reading skills to help.
