Classic Ann Landers

On Monday 14th November 2016, the last class of this semester .I arrived at classroom around 08.20 am and the teacher came to class at 08.30 am. She is always punctual. Then she checked the name list to know that who absent on that day and gave our works “Healthy Diet” back to us. After that, she gave us new sheet “Classic Ann Landers”


Landers, Ann (4 July 1918-22 June 2002), syndicated columnist, was the pen name of Esther Pauline Lederer, who was born in Sioux City, Iowa, to Abraham B. Friedman, a peddler, and Rebecca Rushall. Her parents, Jews who had fled persecution in Russia, had immigrated to the United States ten years earlier. Beginning as a chicken peddler, Abraham Friedman, an astute businessman, saw an opportunity to make money in the up-and-coming movie industry and became an exhibitor and distributor. He eventually owned a chain of theaters in three midwestern states and became one of the first movie-house operators to sell popcorn. In later life Eppie, as Esther was affectionately nicknamed, often said that her stable midwestern upbringing provided her with the basis for a happy life.


The teacher let us known about Biography of Ann Landers after that, she let us read and did the exercise –match the each letter with correctly responds. I read and try to do it by myself and checked the answer with my friends after I’ve finished. After finishing, teacher gave us corrective feedback and explained us each text mean. We read and analyzed each letter together. After finishing that exercise, she told us to do another exercise. We have to answer each question about What’s her advice?  What’s the problem?  Why did they write the letter to Ann? After that, she gave us corrective feedback after we’ve finished by ourselves


Next exercise is read the letter that it was sent to Ann and tried to write the respond and gave them the advice. She told us to work in group of three people. My group are Natthaphon, Kittikarn and me. We worked together and sent Natthaphon as a representative of our group to shared our opinion to friends.
After we have finishing study, we have to take a quiz about unit 5 – 7 and then let’s go to have lunch.

Today the exercises was easy but the quiz made me very nervous because it too difficult. In fact I known the definition of each words but I can’t place it correctly in vocabulary part. I’ve finished on time but I’m not sure about my answer. I think I have to improve myself if I don’t want to fail the exam so I have to learn a lot about vocabulary and understand how to place each word correctly.  I have to read more in English.

The strategies that I’ve use today are guessing words meaning from the context and skimming  

I feel very serious with the exam but in the class today is fun because the exercise not to difficult and I’ve work with my friends we can talked and analyzed together.




That's all for today. Good bye.
