My first recount

On Saturday 30 November, I went to Watmai Pinkeaw. 
I had a listening to sermons activity.

First, I arrived at the temple, I waited for my friends.  Then I sat on the chair and called to my friends. They learned on the class.
At that time, many students came to the temple.
The personnels asked us to come in the pavilion. They explained the steps of activity.
Next, I offered some alms to the monk.
Suddenly, my friends finished their class and came to the temple.
I told them to do the same thing that I did.

Soon after, the personnels took us to the place that we had to listen the sermons.
We sat on the second floor of the pavilion.
There were many students waited for the monk.
Then the monk came on and taught us.
I intended to listen the teachings.
Later, we finished and went down.
The personnels gave us some paper for write.
We wrote the opinion and sent it back to them.

Final, I came back to my home and rested.

Read the recount

November 25, 2013

I had a discourse approach in reading class.
First, The teacher repeated the story that we learned yesterday (Title: My Grandpa's Funeral in Toraja).
Then, she asked us to read the new story.
The title is "An Excursion to Botanic Gardens".
It was easy for me because It was short and It had discourse markers.
This recount told me about the experience of a student who had a trip at the Botanic Gardens.
Next, my friends and I  answer the questions.
I think the recount is easy for me.

These are the picture of the Botanic Gardens that I searched from Google.

 

What is Recount

November 24, 2013

I had a discourse approach in reading class.
I learned about a recount.
The teacher taught us to know the meaning, purpose, types, text organisation, and language features of a recount.
A recount is the unfolding of a sequence of events overtime. It tells about the past experience (to tell what happened).
Then the teacher told us to look the examples of recount. 
We analysed the text organisations and the language features.
In the exercise 2, we read the text and answered the questions.
The title of this text is "My Grandpa's Funeral in Toraja".
It's told about the funeral ceremony of ethnic group indigenous in Indonesia, that the writer has been personally involved in this ceremony.
When I read, I understood it, Although I didn't know some vocabularies.
But I guessed from context.

A Discourse Approach in Reading Class

November 18, 2013

I had a discourse approach in reading class.
I'm so happy because Dr.Usa Noytim taught us again.
Today, we had a course introduction and learned about discourse markers.
The teacher asked us the question about the meaning of the words such as "discourse".
She explained what is discourse markers, gave us a list of discourse markers, and  gave us the examples.
I didn't know vocabularies, but I will  study more.
Final, she assigned us to work in group for homework.
We have to search for the examples of sentences which use discourse markers.

I like this course because It help me to practice of linking ideas.
And It's useful for reading and writing.
