Definition and Classification

I had a discourse approach in reading class. Today, I learned about reading the definition and classification. They is so helpful for my reading.

First, the teacher let us read  the example sentences. Then, I noticed many markers that show me what is definition. The teacher pointed us to look definition markers and classification markers. I just knew the meaning of classification reading.
Then, we looked skill practice 1. We circled the markers, and underlined the definition. I just knew the word "the technical terms". It is the words that we don't know. So, we must to use the markers to help for reading. Next, we did skill practice 2. They were the short texts, included with classification and definition.
We wrote diagram of each texts. It wasn't difficult for me. Then, we did skill practice 3. It was a long paragraphs. We read it, and filled in a division form. 

Today, I could do the practics, and understood all of them because I guessed from the markers. :)

Cause and Effect

Today, I had a discourse approach in reading class. I learned about Cause and Effect. Then, my friends presented their menus. 

First, teacher let us to read example texts and look the diagram which show the cause and effect. Then, we did the practice. It's sentences that include the cause and effect in one number. We circled the markers, highlighted the cause, and underlined the effect. I think, it's a good way to remember the differences between the cause and the effect when we read. Next, we read some paragraphs. The paragraph was about the Titanic. I can read and filled in a diagram correctly because I circled the markers when I read. That helped me to understand the text.
I think, this lesson is difficult. Maybe we confuse that which is the cause? which is the effect? but we can use the markers to help for understand the texts. It's not necessary to know all of word in the texts but we can guess.

Before the time out, my friends presented how to make fruits salad. It continued from the procedure lesson. I felt hungry. All of classmate like their menu.

After that, I went to the restaurant quickly and ate many foods! It's the common every Monday that I was. LOL

Comparison and Contrast 2: And NPRU Open House

Today, my friends and I learned about comparison and contrast (continued from last week). Then, I attended NPRU Open House.

I was hurried to do my homework before the class because last night, I went to my uncle's wedding, and I couldn't do it. First, the teacher came in classroom, and she asked us that how about our homework. We told her that it finished. Then, she explained it, and we checked the answers together. I understood them. They was about hurricanes, compare between Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina. I was correct all the answer because they was easy for me. Next, we read a topic "Men and Women: Do They Speak the Same Language?" It was about American sociologist Deborah Tannen's views. This text told us that men and women have difficulties in communication because they are raised differently. Then, the teacher let us to answer the questions about this text.

I agree with Tannen's views on the subject because I'm a woman, and I think, women like to tell stories about other people more than her story. In addition, I look at myself, when I talk with another, I like to tell about my silly thing that I has done because I would like them feel fun. On the other hand, I saw, many guys liked to talk something that make them seem confident in themselves.

After the class, I went to NPRU Open House. Then, I attended in the exhibition, 3 places. First, I went to Tawaravadee building. There was the local wisdom shows. I saw many inkjets show the teachings about Buddhism and many goods from local. They were interesting. Second, I walked to A7 building. There was anti corruption exhibition. I like this exhibition. They included student's slogan about anti corruption with the beautiful flag of Thailand wall. I took a lot of photos. Last, I went to Management building. There was Asean exhibition. I attended to do small worksheet and passed the checkpoints in that showroom. The weather was hot and sunny but I was fun.

Then, I went to home and rested.

My friend and I bought the dolls from an Art student.

Comparison and Contrast

My friends and I had a discourse approach in reading class, we had an exam and learned about comparison and contrast.

First, we had an exam, It was many paragraphs. I think, it was much. However, I tried to do it. Then, the teacher gave us some sheets, and we read them. They was about comparison and contrast. They were easy for me because I could understand them. They had markers to point out comparison and contrast. I read the first text. It was about subways in New York City and Paris. I could compare which were different and similar. After that, the teacher let us to do homework, read the text and answer the questions.

I think, this lesson is easy for me because I could read and underline the compare  sentences. I like it. In addition, the sheets which the teacher gave to us are easy to understand. :)
