Natural Disaster (continued)

On Monday 15 August 2016, our university had “graduation rehearsal” so we have to made up class on Sunday 28 August at 1 pm. First of all, teacher came in class and check that who present or absent. And then started the lesson “Natural Disaster” continued from last Monday. Teacher let us talked about the words about disaster and taught us how to pronunciation each word correctly by listening from http://dictionary.cambridge.org/. I think this website it very useful, made me pronounce the words correctly and can use it for free didn’t pay for a Bath.

After that teacher let us read the news in hand out “Japan earthquake: Tsunami hits north-east” and then talked with friend about this news that what, where, when and results. From this news we summarized that

 What: Earthquake        

Where: North-east of Japan

When: On 11 march 2011

      Results: 350 people were died and about 500 still missing.Cars, ships and building were swept away by a the water.

After reading teacher let us discussed with friends and tried to find answer of the questions. And then teacher gave us a correct answer. We have done many exercises in hand out read the news and decided if each statement was true or false, wrote unfamiliar words and found their meaning, fill in the blank and read many topic of news.

The strategies that I use today was scanning, skimming, finding the references and guessing words meaning from context.

In my opinion the lesson today was quite difficult because there are a lot of unfamiliar words that I never know it before but I found meaning of each word and tried to remembered it. In the other hand there are the easy points such as finding the answer from that news because it was the written answer so I can found and wrote it down..Today we have finished the lesson “Natural Disaster”. and class was finished around half past four.

Today I have fun with this lesson it made me known the news around the world and sometime teacher got pretty angry and complain us that why we talked too much but she returned to smile and kind with us.

 By the way, teacher assigned us to answer that “What technologies did you use to learn English?”, “How?” and prepared it for tomorrow if you don’t prepared it you will not allow to come in the class. That’s all for today. See you next post.
