Extensive Reading

On Monday October 17^th, 2016

Today I went to class 8.32 a.m. so I’m late two minutes. It’s the first time that I went to class late but next time I won’t late.

First of all, teacher checked name list and told us the mid-term test scores. I got 16/20 but next test I will try harder. And then she explained about project work and examination schedule for us to review the lesson and get ready to “Final Test”.

Today we have started the new lesson “Extensive Reading”

Teacher let us talked about the meaning of this word and talked with partner who sat next to us.

First of all, teacher asked us the question “Do you often read in English for your private study?”

IF “Yes” what is the way that you use 1.Internet, 2.Magazine, 3.Books or 4.Study books. She let us talked with partner.

The way that I use to read in English for my private study is “Internet”. I use my phone to read in English so it is easy way to read.

Teacher shared her experience about her studying. She is my inspiration. I want to be like her. I want to study abroad and I want to have a good career like her.

After that, teacher gave us new handout “Extensive reading” and let us thing the words relate to “Research” and wrote on the board.

Extensive reading = simply reading a lot of English (reading almost every day) but it not too difficult because it will make you bored and you can understand the text without needing a dictionary.

After that, we started reading in handout, summarize each paragraph and answered the questions and she provides corrective feedback.

Teachers always use http://dictionary.cambridge.org/to teach us how to pronounce each word correctly.

The strategies that I’ve used today were finding the references, making inferences and scanning.

Nothing was easy today because text was academic so there were a lot of difficult words and also difficult to understand. I felt sleepy because the class took long time and the weather quite cold.
