Week 12 Read Faster

Mon/31/10/2559
This course I learned about how to read faster. At first, the instructor described about how to read and asked the question that what statement do we agree with? and after that she let us do activities, We had to read the passage as fast as I can and then I had to check the time that I used for reading. It was fun to read faster with the time, but I think it a little bit boring, because we only read and found the answer. In this class I thought there was not much exercise. It has only one page. I thought this unit was quite difficult for me, because of the difficult words that at first I didn't use the dictionary so I don't know the meaning almost all of the passage. But when I've already read I search for the meaning of each vocabulary that I didn't know. Today I used scanning and skimming to read the passage and I thought it was an easy way to read faster. When I got home I had to read the passage again and found that it was useful for me to practice faster reading.

Week 11 Extensive reading

Mon/17/10/2559
We started with pre-reading that the instructor asked us the question that what kind of reading do we read? For me, I usually read on the internet and books. And I discussed with my friend that I thought that reading alone was developing my reading skill, writing skill,vocabulary and grammar were very useful and speaking skills and listening skills were somewhat useful.
We read about the research of extensive reading and summarized in which paragraph. The words in this passage was very difficult. I had to used guessing word meaning and after that I used dictionary online to find the answer. When finished class I had to read the passage again in my home. I tried to make more understand the passage and practiced how to summarize.

Week 10 Scanning

Mon/10/10/2559
I studied what is scanning and how to scan and then the instructor let me sit in a group. We help each other to answer the question in the exercises. This class we only used scanning and it was a little bit boring. But I thought it was easy to find the answer, because we just looked for the key word. But it had difficult words and a lot of texts so we had to scanned carefully. I've practiced scanning skill in this class and I hope it will helpful to me in the future.

Week 9 West meets East [Continue]

Mon/03/Oct/2559
We continued studied from last week about Expat in Asia. I used guessing word meaning and predicting to read this topic, because I didn't know the meaning every words. When the teacher finished explain, I used dictionary online to find the meaning of the word that I didn't know. It was quite difficult to me. After that we did the exercise until finished this class. For me, I hope I can improve my reading skill every week and I hope I can do that.
