Exemplification (Blog 12)

Exemplification

On March 23,2015.

         In the afternoon, I studied this subject again because next month has vacation days, so teacher must made up class to us and teacher afraid she will miss the teaching. Teacher allow to us to highlight the discourse markers, read in the text 2 about the whales , completed the diagram and decided which statement is true and which is false to add T or F in the blanks. I think I can do it. 

         After that teacher taught about Exemplification, she explained in the sheet and do practices. Teacher allow to us to highlight the Exemplifications and read the texts and match the place with the activities. I think it is easy ,but it is difficult about answer the questions because some question want to conclude and I cannot it. I should read more and highlight keywords or read question before I read the text.

         

         In my opinion, this lesson is difficult because I must remember the discourse markers that they help to read. I felt fun and do skill practices.Finally, I watched the procedure cook video from my friend, I felt happy and hungry.

Definition and Classification

On March 23,2015.

         In the morning, I studied A Discourse Approach in Reading with Asst. Prof.Dr. Usa Noytim.Teacher taught about Definition and Classification , she explained and  sampled explanations in the sheet. Definition and Classification are different types, they help your academic reading if I can identifying and understanding texts. This sheet contains Definition and Classification Markers and stratgles, These will help me categorize and understand texts that contain technical terms, definition and classification, and also skill practices. I can do practices.After that teacher allow to us to read the text and answer the questions.This lesson is difficult. For example, in text 1, I can read this text ,but I cannot find to the main idea of the text or I can find ,but I did wrong. Then, I completed the diagram ,but I cannot choose suitable some sentence to add in the diagram.So I should more read and concluded the text to proper and short answer ,but the reader have to understand.

Cause  and  Effect

 

On March 16, 2015.

     In the morning,I studied A Discourse Approach in Reading with Asst. Prof. Dr. Usa Noytim. Teacher answered about Men and Women:Do They Speak the Same Language? and then we do it together.Teacher told about main idea and allow to us to highlight the phrases,and underline the discourse marker words.This lesson is difficult for me because I must remember discourse marker words about it.

     In my opinion,I felt fun and a little bit of confuse this lesson.

Men and women in Thai native culture 

     

     Now men amd women are parallel.Some Thai women is patient and fighting,but the most of Thai women is gentle and attractive for cook.In contrast,the most of Thai men is leader and powerful.Communication for Thai women is better than Thai men because Thai women is beautiful and smile. Thai men is following better ,but I think both Thai women and men have identity and then each person has special personality is different and each person will good or not well ,it depends ability of you.For example,In my family,my father is leader and powerful and my mother is a adviser for children.

 

     In the afternoon, I studied about cause and effect. Teacher allow to us to do practice 1,circle the cause and effect markers, highlight each cause and mark it,and underline each effect and mark it.I think this practice isn't difficult,I can do it. After that teacher allow to us to do practice 2,circle the cause and effect markers and then compete the cause and effect diagrams and write the correct letter in each box.After that I read the text and answer the questions that follow and then  I complete each sentence by choosing the best ending.I think this lesson is very difficult for me because I don't understand about write the correct letter in the text, but I felt fun and the last class, I watched video about my procedure of friend.It is fun and interesting for me.      

 

Comparison and Contrast (Blog 9)

Comparison  and  Contrast

                          Yesterday I studied A Discourse Approach in Reading with Asst.Prof. Dr. Usa  Noytim. I took an mid-term exam about recount, narrative, description,and procedure. I think I can do it but I'm not sure for a passed an exam. After that teacher answered homework about text 1-2 and then teacher told about keyword to find in the text. This lesson is difficult because each text is unseen and I don't know vocabulary.

                  In my opinion, this lesson is difficult  because I have to find discourse word and I understand but I don't know some vocabulary so I don't can translate for some text.

Comparison and Contrast

On March 2,2015.

            Today I  studied A Discourse Approach in Reading with Asst. Prof. Dr. Usa  Noytim. Before the lesson, Teacher  allow to us to do test about Unit 1-3 and I felt very difficult and I expected I will take a test pass and then teacher answered homework about Procedure with us together. After that teacher taught about Comparison and Contrast, explain meaning and tell about discourse markers and then teacher presented example and allow to us to do practice. I think this lesson is difficult because I have to separate between two things that I found comparison and contrast.

            In my opinion, I felt happy and fun about secrets video and I will try for this lesson.
